deols:

There are many of this kind of letter. I will search and if I find them, post them here. It is inherently a part of Islam to protect people of other faith found in Islamic territory.

I believe what we see now in the form of intolerance from some Muslims stem from the crusade(killings by the christians.).

Muslims who would not see beyond vengeance decided to take up arms against those whom they see to have wronged them. This certain belief grew into the different terror organisations that exist now. I just wish they can all see this aspect of Islam and realise they are very wrong.

naptu2:

Actually, I wasn't referring to their behaviour towards the english travellers. I was referring to their behaviour towards each other. El-kanemi was not exactly friends with Usman Dan Fodio and Mohammed Bello, but the tone of this letter is so friendly and respectful.

mu2sa2: This letter isn't saying anything new. Under Islamic law non- muslims are guaranteed safety and freedom to practice their religion without hindrance as long as they accept the authority of the islamic state.

Dannylux:


In other words, these Boko Haram are merely vengeful? The Christians started the killings? When trying to vindicate your Faith It's very unwise to dent another religion in the process.


I love the way this piece was composed. It's quite witty and the expressions are figuratively presented. Its a nice piece indeed.

diablos: frm wat i've learnt d crusades was a war to save jerusalem after d muslims conquered it, due to d fact dat Jerusalem an israeli province, is historical to xtianity.

so hw does dat relate to d killing of innocent pple not necessarily xtians in schools, homes or while executing legitimate businesses?

tunshe:

From what you learnt? Where ?

1. You are misguided to think Israeli province belongs to Christians. Do your research!

I wonder why Nigerian Christians think they are same as Jews.

leggo: deols has started again. so boko haram is a reply to the crusades?
Tommorow you'll say its a politically motivated group. stop twisting your words.
bloody fanatic!
I might as well say the crusades was as a result of the bloody muslim conquests, I'm sure you'll ignore this part of your history

deols:

I also wonder o. I even opened a thread once to ask them why they think that that the success of Isreal is theirs.

lurge:
We know you're a muslim so don't try to defend the wrong doings of your brothers. Their actions makes people regard them as a violent religion. We all know Christains are more peaceful. Please mind what you say. You're making inciteful statements and I really don't want to start a fight here.

deols:

I didnt say boko haram is. But the people who started what boko haram continued were probably driven by vengeance because before that crusade era, Muslims were known to give room for non-Muslims and allowed them live and practice their religion within Islamic terrotories.

leggo:
what israel are you referring to? ancient or the entity created by america and its allies?

leggo:
cut vengeance out of the equation. the crusades were a response to the Conquests yet i don't see people saying that. Terror groups are driven by politics, land disputes, religion but only a few claim vengeance.

deols:

The discourse that gets them praying for Isreal definitely always has to do with the present Isreal.

During the last terrorist attack by Isreal against Palestine. I heard many Nigerian Churches held special prayers for Isreal. That is what I'm talking about.

Vanityupnvanity: did I hear you say accept the authority of I*lamic state? so whenever non Muslims rejects the authority of Islamic states the story becomes different as it is in the north east, right?

4kmukina:

This ur comment deserve to be hidden and a long ban awarded to u. Don't think u can hide under d umbrella of 'islam for muslims' to vomit lies against other faith without expecting a reply.

Crusade and islam invasion and conquest, which comes first? Wasn't crusade a stoppage to d carnage started tru islamic invasion? Pls I don't want to derail dis topic and no bagger shud hide my post witout hiding and banning u for d lies u keep chunning out against oda faith in defence of ur religion.

dont blame them any american ally is automatically 'christian' to them.they are not enlightened.

deols:


and where is your reply? I can't see it.

deols: what is your source.

I don't doubt that a letter like this could have been from a Muslim ruler though. Protection given to non-Muslims is well documented in Islamic history.

It is one of the reasons Islam should not be judged by the actions of a few ignorant ones claiming to carry out shameful acts in the name of Islam.

The wordings of the letter scream 'translated from arabic'
