Christianity entered first through Ethiopia and later established in Alexandra and most of the Roman Empire in North Africa, but could not cross the desert to Sub-Saharan Africa One the other hand, After successfully taking Jerusalem, Islam expanded, taking over Turkey and forming the Ottoman empire, from there, they penetrated north Africa and subsequently Sub-Saharan Africa with Dan-Fodio at the head of the "kneel or die" Islamic jihadic army 3 Likes 1 Share |

AnodaIT: Islam was in west Africa hundreds of years before Danfodio was born. He only served to reform the religion and expand it to some parts of the south west and north central. Islam was in Hausaland even before the time of Bayajidda so stop misleading people. In fact the son of Usman Danfodio, Muhammed bello was the first person to write a history of Queen Amina who as at that time had been dead for almost 2 centuries.I will come back later to bust more of your lies |

Islam is less than 1000yrs old.. According to the book of Acts, Philip converted one of the Ethiopian eunuch.. Dat means Christianity got to this planet long before Mohammed was born 2 Likes |

Christianity has been in Ethiopia since during the second century, so it's christianity. Christianity has been in Africa for over 500 years before Mohammed was born. |

Christianity was the 1st to enter Africa than Islam. There were Christians in Ethiopia as early as 1st century AD. Islam entered Africa first through Ethiopia in the lifetime of Prophet Mohammed. The 1st Hijra was from Arabia to Ethiopia when Prophet Mohammed sent one of his daughter and some followers to Aksumite empire of Ethiopia, so that they could escape the persecution in Arabia. The 1st non-Arab Muslims were some Ethiopians and the 1st mosque to be built outside Arabia was in Tigray, Ethiopia (the mosque still stands to this day). The 1st Muslim call to prayer was also done by an Ethiopian named Bilal Ibn Rabah. 1 Like |

abduljabbar4: Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 1 Like |

AnodaIT:Yeah I know this, but what I'm trying to say is that Islam was already present in sub-Sahara (Ethiopia and Eritrea) before some other parts of sub-Sahara was Islamized by North African Muslims. |
Re: Which Religion first entered Africa? Islam Or Christian? by alBHAGDADI: 7:21pm On Dec 16, 2017 |
Hati13:Your post lacks clarity. The Bible was compiled 700 years before Mohammad was born. In it, it is written that an Ethiopian converted to Christianity. The whole of North Africa was already Christian until muslims and their jihad forcefully converted the people and killed the ones that rejected. The jihadists proceeded into Europe and captured Spain. If not for the bravery of the crusaders who chased them out, the whole of Europe would have been islamized. When the crusaders chased them out, they ended in North Africa. That's why you find Arabs in North Africa. 1 Like 1 Share |

alBHAGDADI:My post don't lack clarity. He said Islam penetrated sub-Sahara from North Africa and I corrected him that there was already Islam in sub-Sahara (Ethiopia) before some sub-Sahara areas were Islamized from the North Africa. Some Ethiopians were Christians from early on (1st century AD) and through time lots of pagans in northern and central Ethiopia were Christianized. The 1st Muslim call to prayer was also done by an Ethiopian named Bilal Ibn Rabah. The 1st non-Arab Muslims were some Ethiopians and the 1st mosque to be built outside Arabia was in You made some errors in your post. - Not all of North Africa were Christian before Islam expansion and not all who were forced to convert to Islam or be killed. Pagans were forced, but if you are either Christian or Jew and pay taxes for not being Muslim, then no one will force you. Sometimes this law was broken and some Christians were forced, but some Christians also voluntarily converted to Islam. - It wasn't the crusaders who kicked Muslims out of Europe. It was rather through the Portuguese and Spanish reconquest that were driven out. |

Humanistme: So far none of you has been able to show me a good source outside the Bible. I need something from historians that is why i didnt mention Bilal (an African) who worked with prophet Muhammad because i cant prove it without using an islamic source but talked about people like Bayajidda, Usman Danfodio, queen Amina, etc. Just search "history of religion in Africa" and read from different sources to see things for yourself |
