Read History and culture volume II, Egypt was a christain country, The Coptic Christian from year 117 AD when the disciples of Apostle Mark entered Egypt Alexandria. The remain predominantly Coptic Christians until the invasion of Islamic militant in the 8th centuries in which the Coptics suffer great persecution hence Egypt later became a predominantly Muslim nations, but not sunni muslims like Nigeria. Just google COPTIC and overview

No don't get things wrong, of course there was a christian movement at that time, it didn't take the predominant whole of Egypt who were into their Pyramid worship, isis and osiris and all their Mummies crap.

But there was no muslim at that time when the Coptic was one of the Major practice in upper Egypt. But today Islam make nearly 90 % of Egyptian population unlike the 5th centuries when Coptic Christians attained up to 70%. talk of Isis, Osiris, Ptah, Amun, Aton, Horux where no longer feasible during the Coptic era

if a whole USA can ve such record,who is Nigeria ?
wake up bro.

Am a Muslim
Am proud to be one


Islam is not and can never be the fastest growing religion. What is happening in the western world is called implosion. An average muslim has a lot of children hence population rise. Some of them relocate their wives and families to the west so tell me why it won't grow? What is happening in christianity from time in memorial is expansion and conversion. Not by marrying many wives and having plenty children to increase a population. France is populated by muslims now because of the same reason I gave above. If Christians were to procreate the way u muslims do, ur guess is as good as mine. So hold your tongue. Islam is not and can never be the fastest growing religion

@op ayou want to count individual converts from Islam to Christianity? Ok lets count former Christian countries: Turkey, Egypt , Syria, Palestine.....
Are you serious? Those countries were captured by MuhamMAD, go study history. Who in his right mind would believe that the moon god will give you 72 virgins. Iran today are burning bible and treatening Israel with nukes while babylon(Iraq) is killing christians and occupying Ninevah(capital state of christianity) via ISIS. Apart from the partly stable Turkey, which of these countries is not fighting war?

PastorKun:
At the rate at which muslims are converting to christianity, there would be no more muslims left in Nigeria in the next 50 years. cool
YOU ARE DEADLY IGNORANT, ISLAM IS NOT AN ENTERPRISE, IS NOT AN INVESTMENT CORPORATION, ISLAM DOESN'T SELL SALVATION NEITHER DOES MUSLIM GIVES SALVATION, BUT CALLS PEOPLE TO PART OF SALVATION AND WHEN THEY ARE CONVINCE THEY EMBRACE. Islam doesn't entice, doesn't gives false hope, doesn't promise wealths neither does Islam promise automatic ticket to paradise IS ONLY YOUR HAND-WORK. HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EMBRACING ISLAM ON DAILY BASES BUT MUSLIMS DON'T GO ABOUT ABOUT BLOWING TRUMPET, BECAUSE PEOPLE "EMBRACE" BASE ON CONVICTION NOT BASE ON persuasion.

Setaje:



Islam is not and can never be the fastest growing religion. What is happening in the western world is called implosion. An average muslim has a lot of children hence population rise. Some of them relocate their wives and families to the west so tell me why it won't grow? What is happening in christianity from time in memorial is expansion and conversion. Not by marrying many wives and having plenty children to increase a population. France is populated by muslims now because of the same reason I gave above. If Christians were to procreate the way u muslims do, ur guess is as good as mine. So hold your tongue. Islam is not and can never be the fastest growing religion
you.eaneven I. the USA people have many children like Nigeria ?
I give up on your thinking.
