I know an Arab Christian pastor who was offered two million dollars to convert to Islam. I also know an Egyptian pastor who was offered even more money to convert to Islam and write a book about how he supposedly read the Qur'an and realized that it was superior to the Bible. (Fortunately, both men declined the offers.)

Now a Muslim apologist (Shah Zahoor of the QDCI Dawah Organization) on our Acts 17 Facebook page is offering qualifying Christians monthly financial support to convert and debate for Islam!

Why do Muslims find it acceptable to bribe people to convert? Many readers will be surprised to learn that this practice comes from Muhammad himself. The Qur'an explains the various purposes of Zakat (mandatory alms):

Qur'an 9:60—The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.

Notice that one of the uses of money is to "reconcile" people's hearts to Islam. Several Muslim translators attempt to obscure the meaning of this phrase, for it[b] obviously refers to giving people money in order to entice them to become Muslims[/b]. Indeed, this is precisely how Islam's greatest commentators have interpreted this verse:

Tafsir Jalalayn—The voluntary almsgivings, the alms to be dispensed, are only for the poor, who cannot find anything to suffice them in the least, and the needy, who cannot find anything to suffice them, and those who work with them, that is, [with] these alms, in other words, the one who collects [them], the one who takes the oaths [from those who claim them], the slave to be manumitted by contract, as well as the tax-summoner; and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, so that they might become Muslims, or that Islam might be firmly established, or that their peers might become Muslims, or that they might defend Muslims, all of whom are [classed according to different] categories.

Tafsir Ibn Abbas—Allah then explained who is entitled to these alms, saying: (The alms are only for the poor) for the folk of the Platform (and the needy) among the pilgrims, (and those who collect them) i.e. the collectors of alms, (and those whose hearts are to be reconciled) by giving them gifts such as Abu Sufyan and his companions.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir—There are those who are given alms to embrace Islam. For instance, the Prophet of Allah gave something to Safwan bin Umayyah from the war spoils of Hunayn, even though he attended it while a Mushrik. Safwan said, "He kept giving me until he became the dearest person to me after he had been the most hated person to me.'' Imam Ahmad recorded that Safwan bin Umayyah said, "The Messenger of Allah gave me (from the spoils of) Hunayn while he was the most hateful person to me. He kept giving me until he became the most beloved person to me.'' Muslim and At-Tirmidhi collected this Hadith, as well. Some of Al-Mu'allafatu Qulubuhum are given from alms so that they become better in Islam and their heart firmer in faith.

For instance, the Prophet gave some of the chiefs of the Tulaqa' a hundred camels each after the battle of Hunayn, saying, "I give a man (from the alms) while another man is dearer to me than him, for fear that Allah might throw him on his face in the fire of Jahannam." It is recorded in the Two Sahihs that Abu Sa`id said that `Ali sent the Messenger of Allah a gold nugget still in its dirt from Yemen. The Prophet divided it between four men: Al-Aqra` bin Habis, `Uyaynah bin Badr, `Alqamah bin `Ulathah and Zayd Al-Khayr, saying, "To draw their hearts closer." Some people are given because some of his peers might embrace Islam, while others are given to collect alms from surrounding areas, or to defend Muslim outposts. Allah knows best.

Muhammad defended the practice when he was accused of distributing the spoils of war unevenly. In response to his accusers, he said:
Ibn Ishaq, p. 596—"Are you disturbed in mind because of the good things of this life by which I win over a people that they may become Muslims while I entrust you to your Islam?"

We find the same pattern in the Hadith:
Sahih Muslim 2313—When the Messenger of Allah conquered Hunain he distributed the booty, and he bestowed it upon those whose hearts it was intended to win.
Always remember that in Islam, getting people to convert is what matters. Integrity or sincerity have little importance. If preaching and debating work, then Muslims are called to preach and debate. But if violence, bribery, or deception are the only way to convince people to become Muslims, so be it. I guess that, when you don't have any actual evidence on your side, you have to do what you can.

they are starting to realise, finally, that they havn't got a leg to stand on when it comes to representing the truth(Taqiyya) and facts of their own unholly union satanic bible the quran. Or even debating with educated people who havn't been brainwashed from birth who live in the western world.

Mr Wood you and others have opened the floodgates, exposed the wicked and evil ways of mohamerred and lifted the veil of satanic and barbaric rituals in the quran (Taqiyya, Apostacy murders, rape and slavery list goes on and on..) and more impotantly opened the eyes of a lot of muslims and they are leaving islam for the truth (Jesus Christ and the new testament) in droves. lol when they watched in amazment at how well you defended the existance of mahamerred. Robert Spencer vs. David Wood: Did Muhammad Exist? I think someone or something was whisperring in their ears " we can use some people like them on our side" haha

Let's dupe and bribe some well educated people into doing our work for us.

Considering they all fail so dismally, not a single muslim apologist has even come close to winning a debate or rationaly and logicaly representing the quran in a good light and defending the evil tennets riddled throughout it. They are on extremely shaky ground and is crumbling away more and more everytime they open up thier mouths. Seems to me they are doing a great job of exposing themselves. And perhaps this is a all they can think of to defend islam and their shody culture.

But why would Muslims do this

First of all they kill those who refuse to follow ALLAH , now they are bribing them

Sneeze

TRUTH IS TRUTH
EVEN IF NOBODY BELIEVES IT.

A LIE IS A LIE
EVEN IF EVERYBODY BELIEVES IT.

Whymee:
TRUTH IS TRUTH
EVEN IF NOBODY BELIEVES IT.

A LIE IS A LIE
EVEN IF EVERYBODY BELIEVES IT.

Dead right !!!

No Muslims takers then, even our friends LagosShia , Vedaxcool etc have decided not to represent Muslims.

We win again

I actually can't be bothered for Lagosshia, Veda cool or sweetnecta to respond, I'm eagerly awaiting tbaba's response. We will get more exposès as time e goes and it just confirms that knowledge will increase the more in the last days.

Muslims are full of deceit and lies! they use every thing within their power to make you follow them. The truth is that most of them know the truth but they find it very difficult to leave their occult religion

I hate the way muslims act. They're so extreme they come across as evil

RealBitch: I hate the way muslims act. They're so extreme they come across as evil

the first hadith a MUslim would most probably learn is the one that says
'all actions shall be judged according to the intention'

with that, a man coming into Islam because of money will have the money(as intended) but not the reward of being a Muslim.

No good Muslim would want that for him. To have the goodies of this life without that of the hereafter is just a no no.

But in case he gets ds financial benefit and eventually practices Islam after seeing its beauty and understanding its tenets, he sure is the SUCCESSFUL ONE.

You all can decide to be blind but the reality of situations around show the need for remunerations. If a Muslim was going to stray because of the thought of receiving (fake) miracles from churshes because he cldnt get a job and I offer him one, as a Muslim in order to keep him in Islam. Yh! Dat is Jihad and very Islamic.

A little logic is all u need to apply

frosbel,

I wonder how you nor your flock could not read beyond the surface or the message u were trying to pass.

Those verses talk about the Zakaat(giving about 2.5 percent of ones wealth to the poor and not to jet flying cheats.

What Islam hopes to achieve with this, is social justice.

You just imagine that all the rich people in this country(and not the extremely rich only) pay this amount to the said people. Nigeria would surely be a better place with scholarships readily available to students, e.t.c

frosbel: But why would Muslims do this

First of all they kill those who refuse to follow ALLAH , now they are bribing them

you have severally being told that Muslims true to Islam do not do these despicable acts.you have also being taught the word to use.i do not want to repeat it here because i'd be accuused of spamming the thread.lol

so please use the word and ask them why they behave like that.

as for the phrase "and those whose hearts are to be reconciled" in verse 9:60 you quoted,that does not mean at all that the purpose of showing kindness to people and doing good to them to bring their hearts closer to Muslims in loving kindness and to forge friendship and bonds is in order that in turn they should believe in Islam.it is clear from many passages in the Quran that Islam emphasizes on true belief.there is for instance a difference in Quranic terminology between a mu'min (a true believer in Islam) and a "muslim" (a nominal Muslim who claims to believe in Islam).the fact is only God knows who truly is a mu'min.in other verses we are told to be true to our faith and not Muslims with our lips while out hearts and actions lack faith.we are warned not to claim to believe when we lack faith.

Holy Quran 49:14
"The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

Holy Quran 61:2-3
"O ye who believe! why say ye that which ye do not?Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not".

RealBitch: I hate the way muslims act. They're so extreme they come across as evil

Give us examples of these evil acts by regular muslims not the extremists who even kill muslims just like Rev King does.
Christians claim that they have been converting muslims on a large scale in Nigeria.
Yet no one has come forward to report that these apostates are being killed

Prof kenny: Muslims are full of[b] deceit and lies[/b]! they use every thing within their power to make you follow them. The truth is that most of them know the truth but they find it very difficult to leave their occult religion

My problem with christians is that they believe their own propaganda too much
Go and find out how the likes of Otedola's dad became christians
People were forced to become christians otherwise they could not go to school. Just ask around.
The truth is bitter
If a muslim leaves his child with his christian neighbour and a christian leaves his child with his muslim neighbour
Which one will start to secretly preach his religion to your children
Islam requires that we face the truth; answer that question truthfully if you are not guilty of falsehood and deceit


Have you being inside a church of recent?
With all those figurines and so on, how is a church different from a shrine
Muslims do not pray in the name of ANYONE BESIDE Allah
Is that the case with christians while claiming their God is jealous

Its only a fool that will be this story.. the OP himself know he is lying but can't stand truth... What will it cost me to set up about 4 facebook account or moreso me and my friends set up an account in Muslim names and start interacting with each other.. I think the OP need to go and ask how the Missionary force people to convert to xtian or else they wont be able to study abroad.. the like of Michael Otedola can testify to this

it's obvious..:-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

frosbel: I know an Arab Christian pastor who was offered two million dollars to convert to Islam. I also know an Egyptian pastor who was offered even more money to convert to Islam and write a book about how he supposedly read the Qur'an and realized that it was superior to the Bible.

@ mr frosbel,
........so what does this prove?........

i guess it proves "ALL MUSLIMS pay xtians a huge some of money to convert".....or maybe it proves that "there are NO xtian groups that pay muslims to convert"
