emofine: I have pondered on this question for some time - I believe it could have raised a very interesting debate plus responses if only you worded the question much better. When you ask a question do not let your bias slip through because it alienates the people it's directed towards.

PAGAN 9JA:
^^^^^^^^^you are wrong.


place like Egypt were converted by the sword.

Ptolomeus: Answer to the question by assuming that something has happened in Africa similar to what happened in South America. Such religions are imposed by the sword in his hand. The military dominance leads to the political, economic, cultural, and social domain ...

balium: we are talking about how it came to nigeria not egypt besides the arabians only conquered egypt it was not made compulsory to become muslims, it was by choice so the sword part should be removed.

claremont: @OP: Show us the evidence that what you believe in is any better than the "crap"!

balium: i can understand the op point of view, but the assumption was correct for one faith and we are talking about two here. christianity came in to nigeria through the missionaries,it was used as a decoy to control the local populace after brainwashing them with the trinity, history can best explain that. but the arabians didnt come into nigeria seeking for power, according to wikipedia it came from arabian merchants who were muslims and even among the yorubas it was concluded that it came from mali. looking at both origins, europeans came for power using christianity as a decoy but islam is otherwise. it was spreading because of the truth entailed in it message, its simplicity. Even as at today, the westerners are no longer christians, it has achieved its use and no longer needed except in african countries that are still gullible but islam is still strongly practiced from where it originated from and even spreading in europe.
