@op: Sorry to burst your bubble, more Christians are converting to Islam than the other way round. In fact Islam is currently the world's fastest growing religion, even with all the negative publicity through the largely Christian dominated global media (though I am sure you'll want to disagree). There many more examples of prominent Christians, including holy men converting to Islam; here is one - its nothing new, we are used to it: A catholic priest from the island of Java in Indonesia who has woken up from a 17 month long coma has converted himself to Islam after the man claims Allah spoke to him and showed him “the beauty of the heavens”. Here is more of what he had to say: “I know nothing of Islam. Never once have I read the Quran but God spoke to me and asked me to follow him to the heavens and the Holy light shone through my entire being and behold the golden gates of heaven appeared before me and God told me his name and it was Allah” told the newly convert to a journalist of the Kalimantan Press. http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/catholic-priest-wakes-up-from-coma-after-17-months-converts-to-islam/ 4 Likes |

ItsMeAboki:he did say he meant no disrespect, and humbly asked for muslims to truly search within themselves, which (to me) also sends a message to the xtians, before this thread becomes infested with religious bigots, may I state here that we can only co exist, and never imposed on or cajoled (because certain people decided to change faith). Its a pity that no matter what we write here to defend our faith, it cannot guarantee heaven for us. only our character can. whether 50 million people just converted to islam, or xtianity does/can not change our faith as a people with a way of life. Before u talk ill about me, My mum and all her family members are muslims, my dad is a xtian, I am a product of a devoid religious sentiments. God bless islam and christians, may his light shine on us all... |

It is normal. very rarely would you hear of Christians converting to Islam but it is very common to see Muslims give their lives to Christ. Maybe it is due to the fact the Quran is mostly in d Arabic version, while the bible is in English. A Muslim can just pick up the bible and read and get inspired to change his religion. But If I pick a Quran and stare at it from today till next year it won't make sense to me. Also the method of prayer of Christians isn't dogmatic. You can pray virtually anyhow once you are genuinely supplicating unto God. A Muslim convert has to be taught afresh how to pray the Muslim way. 7 Likes 1 Share |

timawoku: My friend, refer to my post again and show me where I inferred he was disrespectful or where I took offence to what he said? You'll find none; so pls do not twist things into what is not there. BTW, your diversified religious family background is quite irrelevant to the issue at hand - no disrespect. I still maintain my position i.e. that though it be news to the OP (and the likes of him) that Muslims (in this case, allegedly a cleric) converted to Christianity; while it is no longer news to us Muslims (though highly welcomed) to note Christians (including prominent ones) converting to Islam because it has been happening all the time - there are so many examples out there in youtube etc. See documentary on famous ppl who converted to Islam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5NiO9ZDoKM Why Vatican Priest Converted to Islam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHBY2nGxJS8 BBC1:Why Islam fastest religion in UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4nUIUrNoOs Islam fastest growing religion in UK as Churches Decline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmqrFK4-OfQ |

ReVealing but that guy's premises are wrong. If he was really reading the Quran he should have known that 1. We do not disbelieve in Jesus and we do not worship Mohammed 2. The word kalamullah(word of Allah) as refered to Jesus is based on Allah's command when He wants to make things happen, He says BE and it will be. 3. Unfortunately, Mario has moved from worshipping God to worshipping Jesus. God forbid. May HD find his way back to light. What a sad end. |

ItsMeAboki: You need to understand more, I hope you are mature enough (sincerely hope) to catch my drift or else don't quote me... even with all the negative publicity through the largely Christian dominated global media (though I am sure you'll want to disagree). The above statement is an attempt of an intended subtle attack (which is not as this can open a pandora bigotry reaction), this is a statement that depicts defensiveness of your religion and also implying a disrespect to christians as a whole, what other statement could be more religious bigotry than what has been stated above? And you have not disrespected? 2) I only stated my family background so that other few intelligent people reading would understand that I am devoid of religious sentiments (wonder why you did not get that).no disrespect My bone of contention is that, you can decide to post more than 5 million online stories of xtians converting to muslims, this does not mean xtianity will end 2moro morning, and vice versa also. Neither does your online support for islam/xtianity will ensure you making heaven, just stay true to your self, be good to everyone and above all, be holy. Doesn't matter if we are black,white,xtians,muslims,yoruba,hausa,etc. We are a people with different ways of life. If you don't get me, honestly,don't quote me... |

Why do NL Muslims say xtains instead of Christians. Will they be struck dead by lightening if they say Christ? I say Mohammed freely. Are they this limited by religion? 5 Likes |

fr3do:I only see two people using that here, one a Muslim the other a Christian(Timawoku and ItsMeAboki). That term is even formed by Christians to make writing shorter and easier. The "X" is a replacement for "Christ". E.g Xmas,Xtianity etc I have seen more Christians using that unless you are clouded by sentiments or just looking for trouble. |
Re: An Imam Who Converted To Christianity by Vikkie14: 12:11am On Dec 09, 2014 |
Idrismusty97:That isn't sentiment my brother. The word "X" is actually to "cancel" or "erase" the word "CHRIST". I dont believed in abbreviating the Name above all Names simply because we want to "save" space. Or could it be that that name could backfire on them? I think it wont be funny if Allah is shortened as "Ala", you will be the first to ask me what i mean by that. Bro, hope you understand my points? |
Re: An Imam Who Converted To Christianity by ItsMeAboki(m): 12:31am On Dec 09, 2014 |
timawoku: Quite on the contrary, you are the one lacking in intellect and objectivity to appreciate an openly factual point without giving it a bias twist. I still stand by my statement; you can twist it as much as you like, its out there for all to judge, as there was no disrespect or intent to disrespect Christians. Yes, I said the global media is dominated by Christians; pls tell me if that is not true and show me how could that possibly be construed as an insult or attack against Christians. Its is also my opinion that said media often portrays Islam in a bad light (though again, you are free to disagree) - how is that an insult or disrespectful? The only religious bigotry you need to fear is the one in your mind as none has so far been expressed either by the OP or in any of my posts. Your so called bone of contention is baseless because the videos clips were simply to corroborate my point rather than a prediction of the demise of Christianity or a call for conversion nor a forecast of my fate in the after life (though hopefully heaven) -yet again, its all in the figment of your obviously wandering imagination. |
Re: An Imam Who Converted To Christianity by Idrismusty97(m): 12:31am On Dec 09, 2014 |
Vikkie14:I understand your points, of course they will ask you what you meant by "Ala" because it hasn't been established by Muslims as a shortened form. You may go ahead and replace Mohammed with "Xammed" it wouldn't make sense. But "Christians" are the ones who formed that "X" term so they will understand. I have read many articles by Christians all over Google claiming the "X" isn't demeaning Christ, in fact it is as old as Christianity itself. The Greek word for "Christ" is represented by a symbol similar to "X". The letter "X" is not to cancel or erase Christ according to your fellow Christians…Nigerians are just ignorant. Actually, this usage is nearly as old as |
Re: An Imam Who Converted To Christianity by fr3do(m): 12:38am On Dec 09, 2014 |
Idrismusty97: You need not explain to me that X stands for 'Christ' I have observed severally, what I claimed to observe. Looking for trouble? So trouble can now come from 'peace'? |
Re: An Imam Who Converted To Christianity by Idrismusty97(m): 12:47am On Dec 09, 2014 |
fr3do:Is there anything wrong in stating your "observation" is flawed? The fact that you only notice that in NL Muslims defined sentiments. I have also observed Nairaland Christians used it the most. I can give hundreds of such posts from Christians or you can help yourself out; https://www.nairaland.com/search?q=xtian&search=Search |

Christian convert to Islam, Muslims convert to Christianity blahblah and some silly Africans are celebrating because of these foreign Arabs/Jews religions that have ruined this world.

akinsadeez: The moment you begin to expand your horizons beyond what is happening in Nigeria, you would come to realize how fast Islam is spreading in the US and Europe!. According to one of the leading American networks (NBC), about 20,000 Americans convert to Islam every year, and equally large numbers are also found across Europe; and they did not have to speak Arabic before they converted. And as you can see from the website 'http://wechooseislam.', there are priests, scientists, politicians and all sorts of professionals among the Western Europeans who are converting to Islam, just as you find people of all these backgrounds also converting from Islam to Christianity in Asia and Middle East.

Re: An Imam Who Converted To Christianity by Curlieweed: 6:45pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
ItsMeAboki: As an African, I have no dog in this fight but the real reason Islam is the fastest growing religion is because Islam predominantly exists in 3rd world country with typical higher birth rates like in Arewa. Moreover, most people in the former Christian homeland (Europe) are disavowing religion altogether. The percentage of Europeans who consider themselves non-religious range from over 70% in Scandinavia to about 44% in the UK. As for your stories of "converts", there are a lot of similar stories of alien abduction. These stories only go to proove that a lot of people in dire need of psychiatric care are sadly not getting it. |
