I succumb, my view in this discourse is simply Tolerance and respect for one
another's belief.
More importantly, the topic has shifted to What Islam is (Quaran), which
might encourage others with a good knowledge of the Bible and other books to
follow suit.
Follow to Dr Saine's posting on this subject " the practice of being in
harmony with the ancestors and environment" in pre Islam and Christianity
Africa, which is now insignificant; isn't it time to claim how us Africans
shape these main religions and use it as inspiration for our upliftment?
Finally Jabou, be careful not to trivialise the Earthly Pursuits. Many
African preachers tend to concentrate only on the hereafter but the 'here
and now' is also very important and should be given equal weight.
