joeyekembele:
Note that, these nations were not christain nations. That prominent christains originated from them in the past did not make them Christian nations. Till date, there are men of God who are devoted Christians from those nations. Secondly, one cannot compare the mode of conversion into christianity to the mode of conversion into Islam. This is because, while Islam enjoins forceful conversion of people, christianity enjoins preaching to convert people into its fold. In the qoran and Hadith,,mohammed and his followers forced people into becoming Muslims and refusal fetched death. Same thing happened in Nigeria during the othmam Danfodio Jihad. So it is all over the world. There is no history in the world that christains forced non Christians in a bid to convert them. But that is not the case with Islam. You remember how Kano, Bauchi, Zaria, Gombe, manna, Ilorin and even part of Oyo were conquered and forced to accept Islam as the few that rejected the faith were murdered. But in Christianity, Jesus Christ said, when you go into any city to preach the gospel, whoever that accepts be baptised. But wherever you are rejected, dust off your shoes and go away. Christains follow that injunction till date. Again as a Christian, you are at liberty to leave the faith at your choosing. But in Islam you are not permitted as the qoran advocate your killing. This makes Islam occultism in a way. If such liberty were given in Islam it would have being a mass exodus as a lot of Muslims are uncomfortable with the religion but have no choice as they stand to face death. Do you know that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today, particularly in the western world? if you don't know just Google it. So, my question is that that who is using force/Jihad in US, Canada, France, Spain, Germany and other western countries to convert them to Muslim? These are the people that have access to every information about the entire world religions before choosing Islam, when they made their researches and get the clear pictures about Islam and not what they made them to believe. Do you know that the population of Christian in Israel today is less than10%? these are the direct people Jesus Christ (PBUH) was sent to. |

When you are born into a muslem family, you automatically become muslem. Another way is through migration. Many Middle eastern countries have been torn apart by wars, so they flock to the west and one by one bring in their relatives both immediate and extended, and they begin to wear hijab everywhere and intermarry. Muslims hardly marry non muslims, even in those countries you mention. Most people don't willingly convert to islam. 1 Like |

Do you know that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today, particularly in the western world? if you don't know just Google it. So, my question is that that who is using force/Jihad in US, Canada, France, Spain, Germany and other western countries to convert them to Muslim?. Hear this and hear it correctly. Vast majority of Muslims in the western world are Muslim migrants and their decendants. The rare westerners that got converted are so insignificant that the Muslims there would like to magnify it as if it's the norm there. You can spend a whole year in the US and still never come across personally a western converted Muslims. All you see are Muslims from out of the State and their decendants. I will say it emphatically that there's no country in the world that accept islam by peace but rather it's by war and forceful conversion. So check the history of all Islamic countries one by one. This is 21 century. Jihad and forceful conversion are no more fashionable. That's y they can't try it with many countries of the world today let alone US.Forceful conversion is old fashioned so cannot work. 3 Likes |

So, my question is that that who is using force/Jihad in US, Canada, France, Spain, Germany and other western countries to convert them to Muslim? These are the people that have access to every information about the entire world religions before choosing Islam, when they made their researches and get the clear pictures about Islam and not what they made them to believe. Do you know that the population of Christian in Israel today is less than10%? these are the direct people Jesus Christ (PBUH) was sent to. They say the grass is usually greener on the other side. Those from the western world who have lost understanding of what Christianity stands for are either becoming atheists or converting to Islam, in a bid to try something new. Do you know why? It is becos Christianity doesn't force anyone to remain or be killed. Have you heard any former Christian being sentenced to death for apostasy? But in the Islamic nations, those who are tired of Islam and would ordinarily want to try a new religion, cannot leave cos they will be killed. So Islam locks it's 'borders' against 'emigration', yet celebrates 'immigration' of people from other religions that have left their 'borders' open, giving their members the power to choose. I can bet you that if the Islamic nations and regions of the world can be half as liberal as their Christian counterparts, more than half of muslims will convert to Christianity. |

The fact that a country was conquered my muslims does not indicate that the people were forced at gunpoint to become muslims, otherwise you wont find a single coptic christian iin egypt today.
using your analogy do you realise that christianity came to Nigeria after the british conquered the country. does that indicate that your grand parents were forced to become christians! For the question you asked about British, you can as well answer the question. Research the advent of islam in any countries. It's by forceful conversion. I think you have Google at your finger? Research it now . No country in the world accept islam for the first time by conviction. It was by war. |
