...and nobody cares about the plight of minority Christians in saudi arabia, iraq, iran, kuwait, egypyt, afghanistan etc. but you can cry foul when it comes to the plight of moslems in ethopia.

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.

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.

if the ethiopian muslims had been active in their societal process all along, when the evil ellie salesie was asking the police and other security arms to butcher him, he would not have dared to imagine so and if he did, he would have been buried much earlier rather than later than when mangistu did and peeing on the place.


i have been telling friends from that country to go into politics instead of allowing the minority to givern over and also carry the rifles. when you meet most of the christian ethiopians, you will understand their hatred of islam. such unparalleled, almost like near the madness of pastor haige and rabbi lapski on tv.

it amazed hw u sound raw..we all know that muslim make up 30% of ethiopian nt majority(official figure,wikipedia,nation encyclopedia)..muslim parent refuse western-edu due to conversion fear(this also happen in Ghana) so no-one should b blame for their ordeal or lack of representation in power..don't embarrassed urself online with ignorance..pls stop blabbing
dont 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?

I seriously doubt they are going to be overrun by the "to avoid being banned" religion.
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

Muslems always over count. The religion is in decline because of the rays of enlightenment, science and information and Muslems will tell you they are coverting the world. They can't figure how much damage the violence has done to Islam.

As far as I am concerned, it is an act of insubordination and provocation and as such, should be decisively treated before they turn dat country to Somalia or Egypt.

But you are free to start your inquisition and burn people at the stakes
Or poselytize like this



The Missionaries: God Against the Indians recounts an ongoing human tragedy. The book details Norman Lewis' experiences with christian missionaries over the course of his travels through Latin America and Southeast Asia. These missionaries, particularly US evangelicals, perpetrated the destruction of native cultures through their ruthless and relentless practices – from the stripping of forests and theft of land to wholesale enslavement of populations.

Chief among the offending missions Mr. Lewis encounters is the New Tribes Mission. While their credo states: "Through evangelism, Bible translation and discipleship, missionaries serving with New Tribes Mission are planting churches among unreached people groups," Mr. Lewis' experiences detail a far different picture – one where missionaries perpetrate debt slavery, turn a blind eye to genocide, and foster the destruction of native cultures.

In an example of a New Tribes Mission so-called "Bible translation," the missionaries accuse the Panare tribe of Venezuela, whom they were attempting to evangelize, of killing Christ

Foolish boy, so you see nothing wrong in your facebook activist hallucinating right in the middle of the road eeh? All the mosques in Ethiopia cannot contain his wretched body? Soon your type will call on muslims to be spreading their mats on Lagos- Ibadan express...Nasty fellow

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.

A Special Forces officer stood next to the interpreter—“a big, tall, blond, grinning type,” says Humphrey.

Jesus kill Mohammed!” chanted the interpreter. “Jesus kill Mohammed!

A head emerged from a window to answer, somebody fired on the roof, and the Special Forces man directed a response from an MK-19 grenade launcher. “Boom,” remembers Humphrey. The head and the window and the wall around it disappeared.

2. Biblical references are used on gun sights
http://www.dennisgruending.ca/2010/01/bible-references-on-gunsights/

 Coded biblical inscriptions have been found on the telescopic sights of rifles used by soldiers from several nations, including Canada, who are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. The company that supplied the inscribed weapons initially defended its actions unapologetically, and the response by the American military spokespersons has been under whelming.

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


In September 2003, just four months after US forces took down Saddam Hussein's regime, 350 evangelical pastors and church leaders assembled in Kirkuk, where they were warmly welcomed by Massoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Regional Government. At that gathering, George Grant, a leader of Servant Group International, the evangelical organization in Nashville that set up the chain of Christian schools, declared that "[s]Jesus Christ is Lord over all things; He is Lord over every Mullah, every Ayatollah, every Imam, and every Mahdi pretender; He is Lord over the whole of the earth, even Iraq![/s]"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/22/AR2005062202335.html
"The way the preachers arrived here . . . with soldiers . . . was not a good thing," said Baghdad's Roman Catholic archbishop, Jean Sleiman. "I think they had the intention that they could convert Muslims, though Christians didn't do it here for 2,000 years." "In the end," Sleiman said, "they are seducing Christians from other churches."

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.

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?

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"wink 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.

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.

RoyPCain: @Allen kee; Give me a website that is operated by Ethiopian Muslims and i will forget my friend's statement, though i know she is correct as i have her on skype, even now.

I've search but can find one. If you're still in doubt that Christians dominate in Ethiopia, please search for PREDOMINANT RELIGION IN ETHIOPIA on Google, go through all the results one after the other, you'll get the same result "Christianity"
This is how far I can go with you, thanks for the conversation.
