In Africa:

In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity.

I found these numbers online, originally posted on "Al-Jazeera". What do you all make of them, these are very large numbers indeed.

Discuss...


(Warning: before any Muslim begins slandering Christian Missionaries, I would sugest they look up how many Muslims use food, and other resources to gain converts in Africa as well...)

Notice the disclaimer saying how Muslims should look in the mirror at their "dawah" and missionary activity in Africa, which is very existant, before they slander Christian missionaries. I believe he wrote that to defend you from such attacks.
 
Well, I did watch a documentary of a Muslim asking if people were interested in Islam and invited them to discuss it at a very nice dinner with lots of food. The poeple obviously accepted and were convinced because they really did not know much in general. Christian missionaries are the same, and to tell you the truth, since Islam is more pure monotheistic, I guess I should be rooting for you guys.
 
Lol, how is that missionizing? How else would u invite someone to learn about Islam? Would u not want people to at least understand ur faith, instead of connecting it with terrorism? The difference is, we let people choose for themselves. We dont say ur only salvation to heaven is through Jesus(pbuh) and get them while they r vulnerable.

Well in reality Christian missionaries tell people about salvation ect, and do you not think Muslim missionaries do not mention "hell fire" that is so common in the verse of the Quran?

Judaism says you do not have to be Jewish to go to heaven, but if you want to be Jewish you have to follow more laws, who on earth would convert to that, especially when they turn you down sometimes! Oh wait, I did... lol.. :exhausted
 
This has been posted before, and its quite old too.

As far as I could find, Al-Jazeera was the only source for this information, not very credible. Its the same Al-Jazeera who said most converts to Islam leave Islam within a year, and yet we have converts to Islam who stay Muslims for years, most for their life. You try getting a convert to Islam on this forum to leave Islam...

Its propoganda, i dont know what Al Jazeera's motivations were, but i havent seen it elsewhere, if you find other sources, let me know.
 
Yea i heard about that...neways not the thread for it :X
lol there r no Muslim missionaries...and no we dont start off by saying accept Islam or ull go to hell....lol. well at least not the sane and truthful ones :D

There is no such thing as a Christian convert that didn't choose for themselves. A forced confession of Christ is not a conversion.

It wasn't Al-Jazeera, it looked like an interview on Al-Jazeera (not just some random thing by a reporter), and the person who said it is one who wants to build schools to educate Muslims before building Mosques. Do you not agree that is a smart idea?
 
lol i never said that dude, im talking about missionaries, not Christians like urselves. Im sure u'd agree, a true Christian would be a scholar and invite others to learn about Christianity, no? Would u say christian missionaries are true christians? cuz some go to poor places and get em while they r weak. Muslims do not do that.

Do you think a Muslim missionary has never done the same thing? I'm just curious, it sounds like an interesting debate, but you should both cool off...

Like the blue I put on "cool" lol... :p
 
Btw Dawah isnt just through words. The most important kind of Dawah is through the actions and character of a proper Muslim. Thats real Dawah. The way every Muslim should be, good and righteous character.
The only kind of "missionary" work a Muslim would do is to have people understand Islam.

I don't. The mosque is the centre of the Islamic community and can be used for Islamic education. Why kind of schools did he mean? Strictly secular or secular and religious?
 
hola Tayyaba,

i was a missionary. missionary work is something Christians must do... we are supposed to minister to the poor, sick and weak and are supposed to spread the gospel to all nations... i do not understand what is wrong with this...
