There reason Islam does not tolerate scrutiny is because it is built on Lies. A lot of violence is required to sustain it.

As we speak, the house of Islam is falling like a pack of card. 24% of Muslim youths are leaving Islam. Dr Bilal said "if no constructive step is taken, it is going to be an avalanche."

Islam is the religion of Peace, anyone who is not peaceful is not a Muslim.

Hadith one stated that: You are not a Muslim until you wish for your neighbor what you wish for yourself

Should we say Christianity is a religion of fraud because some pastors are scamming people?

Or should we say all Man of God didn't hear from God because some of them give false prophesy?

I am a Muslim and I have never hurt anyone before because you didn't share the same religious beliefs with me.

Unknown Gunmen are not Muslim, the killing in the East are not done by Muslim.

Crime is crime no matter who is involved

How many times will they Lee educating u guys


Ugm criminals and skullers are bad, BUT They never do or even claim to do so 4 God. But all terrorist carry out their activities in Gods name.

Islam is directly or indirectly responsible today for 80% of worlds problem yet you guys keep defending the indefensible.

Making baseless analogy, just like defending APC anyone defending APC or ISLAM naturally looks stupid.

Bitter truth

Righteousness2:
All in the name of religion, a man is fighting for his life.

Listen all and sundry,
Trying to kill or maim your fellow human in the name of religion or fighting for god or prophet is devilish, satanic and will guarantee you Confirmed Lake of Fire.

The only way to be Saved and make Heaven is to Surrender to JESUS Christ.
Jesus Christ is will wash you, clean you up, uproot every evil heart and Guarantee you Eternal life.

Millions of people were killed by Christian Missionaries including your forefathers some of whom were thrown into the ocean to die during transportation to Europe and America to work as Slaves. Those that you and I say that worship Satan, that is those that worship Ogun, Sango, Osun, Oya, Obatala, Aiyelala, and Esu Odara have never killed 0.001% of the number of people that the followers of Jesus and Mohammed have killed.

No religion makes people cruel, people are cruel by themselves. Don't be unfortunate in life more than you are already.

The UK was protecting him. Unfortunately, the place is now under Islamic rule, so they might have compromise his security. Ask Hatun Tash why UK police keep arresting her at Speakers Corner.

Has he written any other novel since 1989?

Quite a number...see here for a list of all his fiction, children's and non fiction books.

What would happen when Islam becomes a minority religion?

Jihad will stop
Child marriages will reduce
Illiteracy and ignorance will reduce
Women will be empowered
Society will flourish due to merit based system
Nobody will be Dhimmi (second class) again

.

Missionaries were not involved in the West African slave trade...and most were opposed to it. The slave trade basically involved Africans capturing other Africans and selling them to Europeans at the coast...or to Arabs at the East coast...or to each other...in exchange for goods and services.

Most missionary work (protestant) involved a lot of work with ex-slaves and descendants of ex-slaves eg Missionaries working with Sierra Leoneans. Some of the early converts to Christianity were ex-slaves.

However missionaries did work hand in glove with the colonialists...eg 'westernisation'. That's another bad thing..but not the same as slavery.

Christian clerics did also preach the gospel to slaves in the Americas and the Carib...and in some instances did condone the thing, but some even opposed it. One of the earliest anti-slavery commentary was a Papal Bull by a Pope in the 16th century...forbidding slavery.

Is it your son?

God made a law: the soul that sins shall die.

Man sinned and died. Everything he did and made after that was dead. Like begats like. Goat a goat, sheep a sheep. An ungodly man ungodly men.

Now God decides to die on man's behalf and whoever accepts the sacrifice He's made in faith, the person's sin is forgiven and doesn't have to die (be separated from God) anymore.

Is it your die?

Accept Jesus today.

They were not acting for the Church. They were explorers looking for resources. The Islamic slave trade which is still ongoing in some Muslim countries is far worse. Till today, Saudi Arabia is still buying black slaves like Bilal, the black slave of Muhammad.

Stop trying to re-wtite black history.

Missionaries were involved in slavery and the slave trade.

No doubt, they also played a great role in its abolishment, but it doesn't change the fact they were equally complicit at the very beginning.

No, I am not.

Most missionaries came in to spread the gospel and to 'westernize' the people. (The jury is still out on whether westernization and even religion was a good thing). And many missionaires came from a cultural milleu that was generally abolitionist. Of course some supported slavery, and some christians supported slavery and opposed abolition (the Baptists in the US divided over the matter)...but by the 19th century most missionaries were involved in spreading the gospel. And opposing the slave trade .

Slavery was basically existing on the African continent long before whites stepped on it...and Africans exported slaves abroad....witthout European help. Most socieites have had slavery in one form or the other...and still do. European slave trade ended in part because of Christian interventions. (Niall Ferguson's book Empire, and Stark's for the glory of God have some more on that matter)

Yeah, it is popular to think that Europeans invaded the interior and captured slaves...but the cold reality is that Africans were captured by other Africans and sold to other Africans, Europeans, Arabs, and even Indians.. We did not like ourselves..we fought wars among our selves, and enslaved ourselves (Just like the Europeans, Asians, and even Native Americans of North and SOuth America. What we now know as Germany was several squabbling states and principalites 800 years ago. England used to be divided into several kingdoms some 1700 years ago that fought among themselves. Big reason why we have an EU is because Europeans got tired of fighting themselves, especially after WW2).

Infact , slave traders, whether Europeans or Arabs were not interested in spreading religion to the blacks for a long time...because you don't enslave yer coreligionists . It even took some time for Europeans to even agree slaves had to be converted to Christianity self.

I know you won't agree with me, but this is the truth. Even now,we still struggle with slavery...so much that the ILO has made slavery a matter of concern worldwide.

Below are the Satanic verses.

"By the Star when it sets, your comrade does not err, nor is he deceived; nor does he speak out of (his own) desire..."
and when he came to the words:

Have you thought upon al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third, the other?
Satan cast on his tongue, because of his inner debates and what he desired to bring to his people, the words:

"These are the high flying cranes; verily their intercession is accepted with approval"

The female deities of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat were praised by Muhammad as seen in the Satanic verses. He later said it was satan that influenced him to praise them. ("Tabari's History", pages 107 - 113, translated by W. M. Watt, published by SUNY, N.Y., USA.)
