Saudi Arabia is the most popular Islamic religion based yet traditional worshipers and other religions are there practicing their religion peacefully Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country. Not only the majority religion is Islam, but it is also the state religion of the country, and the construction of temples or churches by other religions is forbidden. But it is allowed to practice your religion in your house if you are not practicing it publicly
Jerusalem and Rome are the Christianity based yet traditional worshipers and other religions are there practicing their religion peacefully
What exactly our problem in Nigeria?
Are these Religious leaders beliefs in God or their personal interest?
I am appealing to our religious leaders to apply wisdom in terms of religion we don't need religious war in Nigeria practice your religion let others practice their own religious. Let preach the words of God and peace
If God almighty wants everybody in the world to be practicing one religion he has the capacity to do it then why fighting for God? Your beliefs might not be my own beliefs that doesn't mean I hate your religion or hate you
