@konfessor; by konfessor(m): 10:43pm On Aug 16 finally, you confessed what is really lurking in your heart that you are covering it up with psedo righteousness we read in the biblos. ethiopia is majority muslim and pray the muslims wake up and join the military in good proportion. @magamble; by Msgamble: 11:57pm On Aug 16dont be amazed because i am truly raw on this matter. i am a muslim and i have a lot of friends in that ethiopian blood that they are spilling because they say their Lord is the Creator not a creation. its my nerves. if you think i am happy that humans a killed, you are wrong. if you thing i am super sad that the blood of muslims is wasted, you are super wrong. when you go to wikipedia for information and my friend 'radia'' who is a citizen and a person of privilege, i will believe her because she knows her people. i am calling her as i am typing now. and she just said muslim is 65%. you do know that the president of ghana has islamic blood even though his name is john? by Msgamble: 12:09am ganja it is. and its a serious case passing more than the goose. magamble, you remind of mugabe in speech. any relation or you found him as the model to copy? |

Kairoseki77:Overrun? Your language is telling! I remember how your religion was brought to various parts of the world To "avoid being banned" was the brainchild of Christians. Muslims resisted it but they prevailed But you guys now blame Muslims for it The only religion that rewards lies, subterfuge and intrigue is the one you belong to And any objective person will realise that a true religion does not need to be propped up by such antics |

RoyPCain: the majority of ethiopians are muslims. almost all oromo people are and it is the largest ethnic group. the problems with muslims are that we are not in the right frame of mind when it comes to our interrelationship disregarding the boundary of ethnicity and we do not go proportionally into military, other security aparatus and even politics with the same concept that muslims are one body, first; protecting and feeling the hurt of the least part of the body. where did you get that info from? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia#Religion |

basilico: Great I can post Thought I was banned after my tirade about the Coptic churches burnt by islam yesterday. ANYWAy muslims make a third of Ethiopia and whenever islam rears its head violence is sure to follow. Lets wait and see when they get to 50% there will be untold violence and terrorist acts which is an islamic signature guaranteed as an Angote's cheque. 1. http://harpers.org/archive/2009/05/jesus-killed-mohammed/ A Special Forces officer stood next to the interpreter—“a big, tall, blond, grinning type,” says Humphrey. 2. Biblical references are used on gun sights http://www.dennisgruending.ca/2010/01/bible-references-on-gunsights/
3. The soldiers prepare the place and the Evangelicals move in. Several years hence they will be talking about how peacefully Christianity was spread in Iraq http://www.alternet.org/story/147513/how_american_right-wing_christians_are_waging_%27spiritual_warfare%27_in_northern_iraq

maclatunji:@ maclatunji: My brother, am not at war with islam or any religion! But what i mean is that let us stop passing incorrect information just to protect our religious affilation. The majority of Ethiopians are Christians while Muslims are 3rd in population. Then for the word "Al-takeyya/Al-taqyya" u know what it means as well as i do, though i decided to put it that way "taggiya". Meanwhile i respect everybody's opinion, don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Have a nice day! |

RoyPCain: @konfessor; The quetion is, is your Ethiopian friend a census officer? It is what the census officers and government accept that will be recorded on wikipedia. Your friend can never ever be accurate cos she don't even know every region in Ethiopia even as an ethiopian. You can't tell us you know and have been to all parts of Nigeria, only the government can do that because goverment has officers everywhere. 1 Like |

Re: 'Salat Man' Is Symbol Of Resistance For Muslims In Ethiopia by Nobody: 11:55am On Aug 17, 2013 |
@uk bobo; get a refund is better than collect a refund. i am sure the english people will say get instead of collect. may Allah may your dream about uk a reality, bobo. its true that ethiopia is not nigeria and definitely you dont live in ethiopia or your blood is from there. the history of islam in ethiopia being second to history of islam in makka is older than the hijra itself and history of islam in madina. so it is not surprising that islam is strong there, considering that the king who hosted muslims in the two minor hijra to ethiopia became a muslim and the prophet made "salatul Ghaib"prayer on the dead body when you can not see it on him. the evil of christians against islam in that place go back to the moment islam arrived there. the wife of this king was like the wife of Lut and Noah [as to both prophets], in that she was on the side of the church leaders who were against her husbands reversion and did not hinder the spread of Islam. today on the anniversary of her death of this disbelieving wife who rebelled against her husband, the lalebela sect of christians jump into a pool of water celebrating her defiance, considering this to be noble. can you imagine you accepting guys celebrating the wife of lut who turn into salt? this is exactly the case here. and the ruler will inflate their rank so that they can lie to the world that by shear head counts they are mandated to rule. @allen; 78. Allen kee: Quote Post while she was not a census bureau officer, she was a senior adviser to a minister just 3 years ago before she migrate. the fact is that she is privileged and knew many things first hand. and she is a young woman, too. i have gone to many length to investigate the possible population of the muslims and the lowest is 50%. i as a yoruba man will say muslims in yoruba land is at least 50% because it agrees with our nature, while the rest makes up the other 50%. if i were to be liberal, i will say much more, counting based on bloodline less than those who are on it daily, just to illustrate how my friend felt and arrived at her 65%. i know enough about youba. i know less about others. but nigeria is about 1/4 of the whole of africa. ethiopia is so small to nigeria that they borrow nigerian elites to some strategic position. there is a nigerian i know who is such a post, though lives in abuja. my ethiopian friend[s] knows ethiopia and the best to tell us about her. i have seen many census operation both in 9ja and elsewhere, i have never participated; as part of ethnic or skin group. yet i am muslim, a black man, a yoruba male. but i do know the accurate demography is not what is written, but what is experienced on a day to day. the question that should agitate the mind is what is the minority muslim community doing on id more than going to pray that will get the government to send the attack dog [the security] against them? or is it that the muslim community the majority that must be suppressed even beating it down, thinking it will submit or disappear? |

RoyPCain: @uk bobo; get a refund is better than collect a refund. i am sure the english people will say get instead of collect. may Allah may your dream about uk a reality, bobo. its true that ethiopia is not nigeria and definitely you dont live in ethiopia or your blood is from there. You should know that you are not the only one that has a friend or friends in that country. I don'nt need to argue the domination of christianity in Ethiopia because it is a fact. Ethiopia is not a small country to Nigeria as you think. It is the second largest country in Africa in terms of population. Christianity in Ethiopia The Kingdom of Aksum in present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea was one of the first Christian countries in the world, having officially adopted Christianity as the state religion in the 4th century. Ethiopia has close historical ties to all three of the world's major Abrahamic religions . Christians form the majority of the population. [3] Islam is the second most followed religion, with 33.9% of the population being adherents. 2.6% of the population (mainly in the far south and southwest) follow traditional religions; other religions (Bahá'í , Judaism , etc.) make up the remaining 0.6%. There are numerous indigenous African religions in Ethiopia, mainly located in the far southwest and western borderlands. In general, most of the (largely members of the non-Chalcedonian Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church) Christians live in the highlands, while Muslims and adherents of traditional African religions tend to inhabit more lowland regions in the east and south of the country. Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian states in the world. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, an Oriental Orthodox Church which is the largest Christian denomination in Ethiopia (it claims that 50% of the Ethiopian population are church members) and was part of the Coptic Orthodox Church until 1959, is the only pre-colonial Orthodox church in Sub-Saharan Africa. The apostle St. Matthew is said to have died in Ethiopia. Thegovernment's most recent 2007 census, Christians constitute 62.8% of the total population, with the largest group being Ethiopian Orthodox Christians at 43.5%, followed by Protestant 18.6% (which include Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso Church and the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus) and Catholics at 0.7%. The Kingdom of Aksum was one of the first nations to officially accept Christianity , when St. Frumentius of Tyre, called Fremnatos or Abba Selama ("Father of Peace" in Ethiopia, converted King Ezana during the 4th century AD. Many believe that the Gospel had entered Ethiopia even earlier, with the royal official described as being baptised by Philip the Evangelist in chapter eight of the Acts of the Apostles . (Acts 8:26–39) The name "Ethiopia" (Hebrew Kush) is mentioned in the Bible numerous times (thirty-seven times in the King James version). Abyssinia is also mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadith . Islam in Ethiopia Islam in Ethiopia dates back to the founding of the religion; in 615, when a group of Muslims were counseled by Muhammad to escape persecution in Mecca and travel to Ethiopia via modern day Eritrea , which was ruled by Ashama ibn Abjar, a pious Christian king. Moreover, Bilal ibn Ribah, the first Muezzin , the person chosen to call the faithful to prayer, and one of the foremost companions of Muhammad, was from Abyssinia (Eritrea, Ethiopia etc.). Also, the largest single ethnic group of non-Arab Companions of Muhammad was that of the Ethiopians. According to the most recent 2007 CSA governmental data, Muslims are 33.9% of the population, [1] up from 32.8% in 1994 (according to the census data of that year). [5][9] The U.S. State Department, however, estimates that Muslims constitute about 40-45% of the population [6][10] Most Ethiopian Muslims are Sunni , and some belong to various Sufi orders. Islam first arrived in Ethiopia in 614 with the First Migration to Abyssinia. Addis Ababa , Ethiopia's capital city, is home to about 1 million Muslims. [11] While believers can be found in almost every community, Islam is most prevalent in the Somali (98.4%), Afar (95.3%) and Oromia (47.5%) Regions. source: Wikipedia |

Your friend is the one that is wrong. I give you another Ethiopian site that testifies the Ethiopia is predominantly Christians http://www.ethiopiantreasures.co.uk/pages/religion.htm Ethiopia is a predominantly Christian country and the majority of Christians are Orthodox Tewahedo Christians, who belong to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Another one http://www.imperialethiopia.org/religions.htm The majority of Ethiopian believers are Christian , with a large Muslim minority. There are still a few small Felasha Jewish communities in Ethiopia, as well. Animists are rare in Ethiopia today. |
