this is a sign of a desperate "cult" snatching at straws to remain relevant. A "cult" that knows that it has no power to convict and thus needs to wave a list of its "converts" as bait to draw other unsuspecting victims.

What is your problem

Do you know that most of Islam's growth is by high birth rate due to poverty and lack of exposure not convictions?
A man married to 4 wives and girls starting to procreate as young as 9 are bound to have more kids in the long run.

Do you know that the so called rapid Islamic growth in the west is by immigration of Muslims from sharia lands?

Do you know that most of the converts in the USA are black male criminals in prison for various crimes.

Do you know that about 75% of Islam converts leave Islam within one year?

Do you know that most female converts to Islam in the west are women married to Muslim men and a large majority leave Islam later on and most leave Islam at the breakdown of the marriage?

Do you know that most converts from Islam to Christianity or other religions keep their faith hidden for fear of torture and death?

Do you know that it's a death sentence for many to declare a faith outside of Islam.

do you know that in many Muslim countries,females and children are counted as Muslims (and carry an identity card that identifies them as such) if their fathers are Muslims irrespective of their religious convictions.

Do you know that in Many Muslim countries it's a crime punishable by death to leave Islam.

Do you know that millions of African Muslims leave Islam yearly and 6 million of these millions become Christians by the power of God annually in Africa alone and no swords are lifted?

We don't need a list,neither do we need propaganda and hype.
The truth speaks for itself.

Do you know that Jesus is still Lord?

Salamu alaykum, ife-eco-06, mashaAllah, good post.

Erm, nwando, have you read the book called "Daughters of another Path"? It is quite an enlightening book; its written by a christian woman (a missionary, if I remember correctly) whose daughter converted to Islam. It talks about the results of the mother's research into the conversion of American women to Islam. I would call it an unbiased book because it was written by a christian mother who was aggrieved by her daughter's conversion to Islam. I'd recommend the book for everyone who wants to know about why people convert to islam.

na how many days you take type this one
na wa oo!

Alhamdulilai I am a muslim. There is no need to enter into argument about our respected religion of Islam. Islam is a complete religion. If one is lucky to be born a muslim or converted to Islam, then one has achieved a great thing. May we not be misled by Satan after we have accepted Islam, amin. May we die as muslims. Allah is protecting His religion and propagating it, inspite of unrelenting war being waged by the Western world. Allahu
Akbar!

Do you know that most of Islam's growth is by high birth rate due to poverty and lack of exposure not convictions?
A man married to 4 wives and girls starting to procreate as young as 9 are bound to have more kids in the long run.

Do you know that the so called rapid Islamic growth in the west is by immigration of Muslims from sharia lands?

Do you know that most of the converts in the USA are black male criminals in prison for various crimes.

Do you know that about 75% of Islam converts leave Islam within one year?

Do you know that most female converts to Islam in the west are women married to Muslim men and a large majority leave Islam later on and most leave Islam at the breakdown of the marriage?

Do you know that most converts from Islam to Christianity or other religions keep their faith hidden for fear of torture and death?

Do you know that it's a death sentence for many to declare a faith outside of Islam.

do you know that in many Muslim countries,females and children are counted as Muslims (and carry an identity card that identifies them as such) if their fathers are Muslims irrespective of their religious convictions.

Do you know that in Many Muslim countries it's a crime punishable by death to leave Islam.

Do you know that millions of African Muslims leave Islam yearly and 6 million of these millions become Christians by the power of God annually in Africa alone and no swords are lifted?

We don't need a list,neither do we need propaganda and hype.
The truth speaks for itself.

Do you know that Jesus is still Lord?

Undiluted truth! Ododo Oro!

Hello mr poster, I thank My God for people like (wa" SAT GURUNASARAMA) MR MATINE NWAOSU, who was once lost but now found, and who was blind but found, but has came to know that JEsus Christ is Lord!!! through. did u know that your SO CALLED ALLAH IS A BEING WITH 3 HAND AND 2 HEADS? HE IS NEXT TO NEXT AFTER LUCIFER AND LANDER, THEN FOLLOWED BY (allah) all this being are bein of the dark world. so I quess most muslem don't even know what they worship. recieve JESUS AND BE SAVE!!!!!!!!!

olabowale:

@Luvus: Now apply the same to the killings in the Bible parts: Old Testament, Psalms and/ New Testament. Who was doing the killings: The Judeo Christian God(s) or people, prophets and their supporters? Lets me real here. Please think again, seriously this time!

another dumb and dishonest cop-out. You are comparing islam's present day evil to killings that took place more than 4000yrs ago?
Even as early as a few centuries ago . . . powerful nations of the world propagated their dominance by military conquest over their enemies; the romans, the persians, the babylonians . . . even the hausas and yorubas. The Jews of 4000 yrs ago were simply doing the same thing!

Every non muslim has his/her own definition of Allah! They individually, have their discription of the Most Merciful! It is His Mercy being the Most is the reason they have not been destroyed, yet. He feeds them, even though they attach some other thing with Him, or just total deny His existence. Yet, none of what they take instead of Him or along with Him can truly help or harm anything! The sole decision of what a life any would lead, is Allah's alone! No Angel, no Prophet, no son of man, or whatever shares in this! Indeed, no creation can truly utter it! Everyone needs Him, yet He needs no one! This is Allah the Creator of all things.

@Davidylan: Your speeches belong to where it belong to. Say something that makes sense. Just don't attack without a good presentation that will show that there is a thought behind it! I know that you are a one way street man. Please make use of that street. Give us a good argument. I want it to come from you, just one time. Not just the bravado that make no sense, whats so ever! So if the Jews or all of these tribes and nations of people did it and still being done as we speak my the people and nations in power, why the complaint of your man about Islam and indeed why are you complaining? david think, before you respond. Don't just do it, like the Nike commercial.

See I did not yell at you. But I almost did.

And David: Oun to ba jo oun la fi nwe oun. Aron ope o jo alabawun. It is what is similar to the issue of discussion that I used to illustrate the matter. You will read that I had mentioned the current state of war that we find ourselves, today. However, do you have anything that is relevant to the topic! Okay let me start: My present wives, One Yoruba and the other Ibo were both Christians when I met them. Alhamdulillah, they are both Muslims, today! The ibo woman is totally immensed in it! Surprised? hardly, such is the way of the Most Merciful. He is capable of doing all things!

Am working on some Hausa fathered but other tribes mothered people who know nothing about Islam. I am dialoguing with them, without being overbearing. My process is that they should present their Christianity to me, as if they are selling it. Then they should let me ask questions, and they should try to answer these questions, even if they have to ask for understanding from others, like their Church leaders. That will be fine with me.

We can do this for months and when they realise that they are selling a defective product, then let me present my Islam to them. And they can ask a ton of questions and I will have the same opportunity as to answer or ask my 'Imam,' since I mentioned pastor, for the Christians. This process can drag on for a while, and in the long run,we all have the right to accept or reject! No problem. You and me can do the same, off the Nairaland board! Maybe you can convince me and maybe I will by Allah's will make your heart receive Iddayah; Guidance, that is.

I am not surprised. Such is the way of "official christians" who have no idea of what the bible is all about, who get unequally yoked with islamic sons of belial. Your wives had no choice but be muslims . . . they are married to you. Its not like they had any choice. Such is the way of the most "merciful".

Davidylan, I know alot of Nigerians who are scared of their Christian parents, because these children have inclinations to becoming Muslims. I have been having dialogues off the board, you know! If +osisi had relaxed, today she will be a Muslim woman. She will be wearing silk Abayas, fancy jewelries and all. But the old traditions of hating Islam, probably because those who are considered muslims in the old country stick to the ribs too much. Its like good food to a hungry folk. And David, shed that facade, and lets talk, man to man, without the whole world knowing your 'Buuziness.'

Be surprised. God Almighty can surprise you. You are just a step away from becoming Muslim. And the senior wife was married to a very influencial Muslim, in Nigeria, for over 25 years, before she became a widow. In all those years she was a christian. So it is not that I did anything, it is just that the time was up. Your time may just be up, if you let you and me talk to each other as friends, off the board. Afterall, you have my information; use it, dave!

Alhaji, dont worry. . . . just that i am busy this weekend but i will find time to talk to you one on one. perhaps you will see the folly in islam.
Your senior wife was NEVER a christian, just an official one. A true christian wont break one of the cardinal commandments in the bible . . . wilfully unequaling yoking urself with an unbeliever.

She is a Yoruba woman. So we spoke to each other in real Oduduwa tradition. But what about the Igbo Princess, who Allah softened her heart, while she had once hated Islam? She told me that when she hears the call to prayers before she met me, she will have a headache. Just complaining about Islam until its over. When she sees a person performing ablution, her skin will be crawling and she almost will jump from her skin! All of these were happening in her head, until All Merciful brought her to my life! She wanted to take her Shahadah right there and then! See Allah is Powerful and everything else is weak!

You are right. I am an unbeliever in 3 in 1 god and the shedding of innocent blood to ransome evildoers, who will become good people and do righteous worship and deeds! Wouldn't it be simple enough to justcommand people to worship rightly and do good deeds, instead of just wasting the life of this innocent man, who reluctantly went to the slaughter?Or if you are going to be just, just forgive them all in their evildoing ways, since you required the blood of this innocent lamb!

In short, you will see that it there is any death at all, it has been in vain! The reason is that it does not cover all in their filthy ways, it does not cover any who believes in this slaughter, except the changes his evil way, it does not guarantee Paradise, but maybe heaven to those who believe in the slaughter.

And we realise that in heaven there are Paradise and Hellfire. Which one is the destination of the Christains? Further, we see that apart from just believing in this slaughter, Christians do not have a completely common mode of worship that everyone, every sect, every society follow. So you go as many desired directions as you want for your group! The Aladuras and CAC of Nigeria are very good examples. The Seventh day adventist, Jehovah witnesses and Jesuits are also good examples.

Yes again, am a disbeliever in the death, cross, blood, resurrection, etc and oh, the diluted/'lost' Bible! But you, davidylan and co are Keferi. That you can not deny! I have a mode of worship, which is salah. There is no Muslim that will say salah is not commanded on him and still remain a Muslim. I have a Jumuah Prayer. No true Muslim can deny its existence and therefore chose another time for its service. I can give you a trillion examples like that; differentiating Islamic ordered premises, and Christianity do as you want, meandering premises!

Allah softens hearts? Is that why the muslims still have a visceral hatred for the jews for the last 900yrs?

the islamic penchant for deciet is indeed nauseating. Yes u believe in 1 "god", and so do the hindus and sango worshippers, what is the difference?

You cringe at the "shedding of 1 innocent blood" to ransom evil doers and yet rejoice when suicide bombers shed the innocent blood of thousands just for insulting the "prophet"?
Sir, you are a most dishonest and dishonorable man if i may say so myself.

Wouldnt it be simple for allah to merely command that muslim converts to christianity simply re-convert to islam instead of ordering their deaths?
You shed too many crocodile tears for the victory of the cross while ignoring the demonic aspects of ur own cult.

If Christ's death on the cross is in vain, it will be in ur life and the lives of all other incorrigible, stone hearted muslims like you.

olabowale:

You must be confused. there is hellfire in heaven too?

you are a disbeliever in the cross because it makes nonsense of your cult.
Continue your slavery to the devil.

@olabowale,

How could both "Paradise" and "Hellfire" be "in heaven"?

The Aladuras and CAC of Nigeria are very good examples. The Seventh day adventist, Jehovah witnesses and Jesuits are also good examples.

Muslims in the different sects of Islam also have diverse modes of worship. Please check with the doctrines of the other Muslim sects that are different from yours, and then I would gladly elaborate if you haven't anything to ponder about.

weldone you have quite a long list, you do well,
but wait what makes a christian christian?
is it because you have a CHRISTIAN NAME?
is it because you had a CHRISTIAN parents?
or what, oh muslim believe that once you are born a muslim you automatically become a muslim??
wel from what i know is A CHRISTIAN is one that believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Died for my sins and the World, Resurected and seated in Heaven, and have the Spirit of God.
that is a christian from what i know, i can say all those so called christian that converted really did what i did,

: I have met born Muslims, with full Muslim parentage, still carrying Muslim names, but they are the Chief Keferis of today, in home and abroad. A good example is Ashimolowo in England. The fakery of that guy. But thats beside the point. Everyone is born a Muslim, because of the Sinlessness of man at birth! This is regardless of the parentage. However, it is the parent that makes that sinless new person, to remain in Islam, even though as he reaches the age of puberty, his deeds are being recorded, or becomes a disbeliever (Keferi). Later on, because of the enviroment that he cultivated his total person, he may die as a believer or a disbeliever (Keferi). And the Muslims believe that your concorted story and positioning of Jesus, as you have defined him above, is a lie. He was his mother's son, though fatherless, but still created by God Almighty, in the same authority that He had in the creation of Adam, then Eve, and all that came before Jesus and after jesus, until the last man! Jesus did not die and hence no sin of anyone did he absorb. You have to die first before you are resurrected. If you are in a coma, then you are resucitated.

This dude has made heaven looked as if one is in a theater, where there are seating arrangements, in gradation of importance. Heaven is not a theater or the church, where there some who who are seated at the High table! At least, when you talk about Jesus, you are smart enough to differentiate him from his Creator. Unfortunately, you still have not learnt that he is no son of god, because just do not have any need for one! Having the spirit of god does not make him God. If at all it simply means that God has favored him, and he will not be punished, even though you call him what he is not. He never asked you to call him so! He is free from all that you call him!

Hey hey! What happened to the other thread?!

Alhaji . . . two times this question was put across to you . . .

How could both "Paradise" and "Hellfire" be "in heaven"?

Twice, like the hypocrite most muslims are, you pretended not to see it. Can you kindly clarify your earlier statement? Here it is reproduced for you:

And we realise that in heaven there are Paradise and Hellfire.

hi

@ola
Everyone is born a Muslim, because of the Sinlessness of man at birth! sorry i was never born a muslim please.

Later on, because of the enviroment that he cultivated his total person, he may die as a believer or a disbeliever (Keferi).

ok if his environment influences him, y not leave him as keferi instead of killing him as muslims do? let him continue in the way he has choosing abi?

The antichrist could be coming from islam and will unite the world with their cliche monotheist religion and if you are not abdulai,musa,nojeemu,muslimat etc,you can not trade better still if u cant make use of typical islamic terms like asalaam alaikum,jazakallah ma salaam etc,you might not trade o infact,666 might not be a visible number afterall and might come with other islamic practice so, beware of the self acclaimed religion of peace

The bible said "they'll be shouting peace,peace,then sudden destruction"
Wouldn't surprise us,would it?

Kettle calling pot black: Dont forget the Armageddon euphoric grand daddy of all wars that you Christians are going to wage with those who do not 'believe,' in death and ressurrection! Whats happening now is Baby wars, even though cluster bombs, bunker busters are being used. And yet there are still Nuclear bombs, piled up to the ceiling, ready for usage at any moment notice.

Tell me who is the greater destroyer? Which camp presently has the ability to destroy with total destruction?

further more, please show in the koran where the above is stated.

Islam sucks.

>>sigh!<<

Islam is not the name of some unique religion presented for the first time by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who should, on that account be called the founder of Islam.



The Qur’an states that Islam – the complete submission of man before his one and only Unique Creator – is the one and only faith and way of life consistently revealed by God to humankind from the very beginning. Noah, Solomon, David, Abraham, Moses, Isaac and Jesus – prophets who appeared at different times and places – all propagated the same faith and conveyed the same message of Tawheed (Oneness of God), Risaalat (Prophethood) and Aakhirah (the Hereafter). These prophets of God were not founders of different religions to be named after them. They were each reiterating the message and faith of their predecessors.



However, Muhammad (pbuh) was the last Prophet of God. God revived through him the same genuine faith which had been conveyed by all His Prophets. This original message was earlier corrupted and split into various religions by people of different ages, who indulged in interpolations and admixture. These alien elements were eliminated by God, and Islam – in its pure and original form – was transmitted to humankind through Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).



Since there was to be no messenger after Muhammad (pbuh), the Book revealed to him (i.e. the Qur’an) was preserved word for word so that it should be a source of guidance for all times.

@samsonola,

How body?

samsonola:

No doubt, Muhammad is the founder of Islam; and his religion was not known anywhere before Muhammad was born.

Let me ask you something about the message about God that Moses brought.

In Deuteronomy 32:6, this is what Moses said about God:

Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise?
is not he thy Father that hath bought thee? hath he not made
thee, and established thee?

Another prophet (Isaiah) was even more bold when he declared:

'Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us,
and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our Father,
our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.' (Isa. 63:16)

Please, only one thing I request of you: before you marry Muhammad to the ranks of the Biblical prophets, can you show me anywhere in the entire tenet of Islam where Muhammad ever knew God as FATHER?

I simply want to learn that from you, thank you.
