Hmm, so why then do I have many Muslim friends who know my beliefs and do not want to kill me.


Ah I know why , because they are Yoruba ( mostly liberal ) and not Shia .

If it were to be Hausa, I am sure , my head would have been on top of a pole by now. grin

I love my Yoruba brothers and sisters grin

I am yoruba, but i would not just watch you insult my beliefs.

God forbid that a Christian who has the Holy Spirit of GOD  , a new creature in Christ JESUS ,  should marry a Muslim.

A cousin of mind in the UK was going out with a Muslim Asian lady and the mother was heart broken , I personally was mad . Now this is not because I hate Muslims but because I see ISLAM as totally incompatible with the life of a true follower of JESUS. One is darkness and the other is light ,  one worships Yahweh and the other worships ALLAH.

So in the same house the husband will pray in Jesus name and the wife will be saying Allah-u-Akbar , I say GOD Forbid such a thing to happen !!!!


A truly born again believer ( I am not talking about nominal church goers here ) will never even consider marrying a Muslim woman except she repents of her sins and wickedness and becomes born again.

Why will anyone want to marry a woman covered in black 24x7  

I choose freedom over bondage.

grow up frosbel, grow up pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
i'd expect that follow Jesus in totality, Where is your claim found in the bible, to start with.

Christians should marry only in the lord.in islam,muslims girls are not allowed to marry 'infidels' but muslim men can marry women from other faiths.that is hypocrisy.

a man who prevents his children from going out late at night but comes back late from work is an hypocrite by your definition then??. Common sense is all anyone needs sometimes!

I do not know where toba is from, but Yorubas marry across religion well well, maybe the ones in Ilorin are a little bit more hardened in their religious ways, but, hardly will you see a yoruba family that does not have cross religion marriages, we no send. We were Yorubas first before we got our religions.

toba:

thats exactly what pagan9ja is saying. tribe comes before religion. solid point. im sure our muslim sister would disagree with you



excuse me my dear friends. this is a bit complicated. let me explain this issue a bit. Before the advent of islam and christianity, tribe was inseparable from religion. Every tribe in this world had its own religion. Nowadays, because of islam and christianity, many tribes around the world have lost their original  religion,  which has been replaced by one of the two, like a virus. As a result, when i say tribe comes before religion, i am not referring to the original tribal religion. I am referring to these foreign religions.

@Laalamed

You have to understand that because ISLAM is not a spiritual religion, they can only grow their religion by two specific methods :

1. The sword - This is Jihad , to forcefully convert people to ISLAM

2. By rapid procreation , hence the issue of 4 wives.


There is another lesser method used but which is not very successful, i will say success rate 0.9%, is Jihad by deception. Telling lies to lure people to ISLAM.


Christianity on the other hand, ( and I do not mean Catholicism etc ) can only grow by a spiritual birth into the kingdom of GOD. You see God is not concerned about numbers but about the quality of holiness and righteousness of his followers and their LOVE for him.

You are not and never will be born a Christian physically , ONLY by a divinely initiated encounter with the living GOD, Yahweh, our Father, creator and lover.

Amen.

LOVE to ALL MUSLIMS.

Faithfully FROSBEL.

u can say wat u like but the issue of polygamy solves much more than u wld admit. is it not worse that your women are turning lesbians nd fathers turning gay

Re: Why Are Muslims Preventing Inter Religious Marriage? by Afam4eva(m): 1:53pm On Aug 31, 2011
The level at which Nigerians have taken religion is mind buggling. Even ethnicity is not taken that seriously. That explains why there are several inter tribal marriages among Nigerians. For instance my cousin(Igbo) married a husband(Yoruba) and it wasn't a big deal. But i don't know why inter-religious marriage is a no no for so many people. The only inter-religious marriages i have come accross are those of people with passive religious views. That's why you'll rarely see a hardcore Muslim getting married to a fervent christian. Imagine a "pastor" getting married to an "Alhaja".

Re: Why Are Muslims Preventing Inter Religious Marriage? by deols(f): 2:17pm On Aug 31, 2011
OLASODE2K:

Islam while allowing moslem men to marry christian women forbids those between moslem women and christian men. The reason is both tactically and strategic. Tactically in sense the if such marriage is allowed, it would lead to one in which the husband, as the head of the family, would use his tremendous powers to restrict the freedom of the woman to worship Allah freely. Its strategic importance is dat it bcomes quite risky that islam might lose that woman to another religion thereby depleting the moslem folks.

makes sense!

Many pple wu think such allowances as ds are for the good of the muslim men do not understand Islam.

A man is the shepherd of his household and would be asked about every individual under his keep. A muslim man who marries a xtian woman would be working so hard to keep his children on the part. If they stray as a result of his choices, he has a great case to answer before God. So a muslim man married to a xtian woman better not feel like he has one big priviledge. I would call that a TEST.

Just like in polygamy, d man is under a great test. How just can he be? A fear of the above is enoff to keep any man away but most dont know.

Well, inter-religious marriage do exist but it more common among Yoruba where i came from.

I will use myself as an example, my father was a christian till he dies and my mum a muslim still living. am the last in the family, my mum practise her religion so does my dad.

We were giving both Christian and Islamic knowledge from both parents and left to decide on what to do when we grow older, all of us have muslim names and some do have christian names, buth we are keen having a yoruba names than Xtian names.

Overtime i have learned to respect both religion and what they believe and their areas of divergent. i know the principle of Xtianity and that of Islam cos i have been on both side. As i grew older i pray to God to show me the way and he does, Am a muslim even in the mist of Xtian but respect their decision and i know they respect my conviction to Islam too.

My lineage have both religion cos my grad parents are from both religion too. My wife is a Christian and we are open about that.

Let just be tolerant and pls respect people religion, "if u don't want someone to abuse ur parent, don't abuse theirs" I have seen alot of Xtian abusing Islam, the Prophet (PBUH) many time and u hardly finds a misguarded muslim insulting Jesus cos is UnIslamic.

You have a point there. I've noticed that inter-religious marriage exists among Yorubas because i've seen some Yoruba Moslems that have Christians as wives eg Fahola, Tinubu etc. I guess religion is not really a barrier for some Yoruba. But it could also imply that Yoruba are passive when it comes to Religion. Just a thought.

wen u preach xtianity, are u forcing some ideas on somebody's throat Islam is goodwill nd dr's no compulsion in it. It is also total submission to the will of God. SO, reminding fellow Muslims of what is expected of them isnt a forceful act.

I bet to disagree that Yoruba are passive regard religion, i will say we are more OPEN, i am not a muslim cos my mum is, i am a muslim cos i pray and allow Allah's will for me and that is conviction not just parent telling you this is the religion that is right and good and that one is wrong and evil.

When people discovered themselves what matter to them and if that is the will of God for them, they will be convince and be convicted to it. I don't see anything in this world that can change me from Islam cos am convince about it.

My prayer is in Surat Fatia Ihidina siratal mustakim meaning Allah show us to the straight or right path.

I'm still of the opinion that a hard-core muslim cannot marry a Christians because they'll disagree on so many things. One of the couple will have to either convert to the other's religion or  take it down a little bit. Because two fanatics in the opposite direction cannot live peacefully. That's what i think.
