Faith makes the difference

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

Imagine if Christianity were an ideology that commanded its followers to take over the world and install a theocratic government, and for 1,300 years its followers ran an empire that erased civilizations.

Then, when the empire fell, hundreds of Christian groups terrorized the world to reestablish it, and the majority of Christians knew that these groups represented Christianity and chose to ignore everything they did out of fear and resignation.

Now imagine a small minority of Christians decides to throw out Christianity as 2 billion people know it, taking some of the canonical scripture and reinterpreting it completely to make it compatible with the modern world.

Let’s call this group, for example, the Mormons.

Now these Mormons want us to consider them the true representatives of Christianity, even though Christians themselves don’t accept them as Christians, and when we say, “Sorry, you don’t represent Christianity,” they accuse us of being radicals.

That’s the problem.

We can’t accept the Muslim reformers as the authentic representatives of Islam, because their Islam is decoupled from the real thing: fourteen centuries of history and the example of Muhammad.

And the deeper reason we don’t accept you as the true representatives is that you are actually harming the West.

You deceive people into believing the problem isn’t the canonical scripture you’re busy reinventing, a reinvention no Muslim actually accepts, and in doing so you leave the West vulnerable.

Have the courage to admit that Islam itself is the problem, and that what you’re doing is inventing a new religion and calling it Islam too, only because your situation won’t let you abandon the religion altogether.

You are to Islam what Mormonism is to Christianity.

This is exactly why I laugh anytime someone blindly quotes those "fastest-growing religion" stats. They look at a chart or spreadsheet and pretend they’re measuring theological conviction, completely and pretentiously blind to the systemic violence keeping those numbers inflated.

Anytime they are losing arguments here on X, they run to those statistics as some grand proof of spiritual superiority, and try to find cheap consolation.

But what do those metrics really represent? Do they factor in the variable of raw terrorism? Do they account for the absolute, crushing impossibility of exit? Do they record the psychological toll of people who have to simulate faith every single day just to stay alive?

Of course NO. The spreadsheets are completely blind to the bloodshed.

I read this story and this man converted to Christianity, and the state didn’t just object, they sent him straight to a Terrorism Circuit Court. They tortured him, hanging him in a crucifixion position to force a renunciation. His entire "crime" was trying to legally update the religious designation on his national identity card.

When the bureaucratic and physical price of leaving a faith is a terrorism charge, a life sentence, or an outright execution, then you are no longer dealing with a demographic statistic. You are really dealing with a hostage count.

Stop using state terror to boast about popularity!

Money gone under Buhari:👇

• Hadi Sirika — ₦2bn
• Mele Kyari — ₦210tn
• Sadiya Farouq — ₦38.7bn + $1.3m
• Malami — ₦256bn

That's about ₦210.297tn, excluding the dollar amount.

Buhari's appointees had mission to ground this country. The looting just too much.

Always remember to pray for the Christians in Nigeria🙏

I bear this scar and pain for Jesus. This is the mark that I left darkness into light.

Although, after many surgeries, the medical complications are still there, but I will never go back from following Jesus.

I was in a church sharing my salvation experience, and after I have preached and about 300 hundred gave their lives to Christ, as I was coming out of the church, some people shouted, Pastor we need your help.

Unknown to me, they were angry Muslim who were bittɛred because of a growing number of people who are leaving Islam in my community in Gambia because of my testimony.

As I looked back, one of them poured a bucked of acid on my face, as I turned the other side, another one poured another bucket of acid and they were shouting:

"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar".

My eyes were affected but not totally blinded. I am joyfully bearing the scars and the pain. That is the price I have to pay in following Jesus.

Brethren stood by me, they prayed for me, they took care of me. There is love in Jesus.

Please 🙏 pray that the Lord will heal my pains completely. Pray for my faith not to shake.

Although, they are still threatening me, but there is no going back from following Jesus.

@uti_no_mas @birdacc3 @Ony1nyechi Like what?
Let's hear your argument

[StevieBlessed @StephenBako8]

@IDFTroopsNews @pious_minister You've forgotten the year 2000 Sharia riots where close to 500 Christians where slaughtered in Kano. Please stop this foolish gaslighting.
@grok how many people lost their lives inthe Nigerian state of Kano in the year 2000 Sharia riots?

[StevieBlessed @StephenBako8]

@birdacc3 @Ony1nyechi We don't wanna talk about HISTORY, we want to talk about TODAYand the violence of ISLAM

[𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓓𝓻𝓮𝔂 👑 @lorddrey]

I was wrong, NNamdi Kanu was right. It seems the Northern part of Nigeria is waging a religious war on the rest of Nigeria in an attempt to Islamize the country through a jihad conquest.

Terrorism and Banditry are like the Islamic religion’s military arm.

We must resist this enemy together in the South.

We across the Niger must not leave the South West to their fates.

Or after them, the Jihadists become our neighbours.

And then expand further. We must cut it short now.

176 kidnapped victims from Woro community in Kwara state are still in the terrorist den since 3rd February.

The victims are infants, toddlers, pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, women & men.

3weeks ago,
39 little children and 7teachers were kidnapped by terrorists in Oyo state. One of the teachers was brutally beheaded on video.

TILL NOW,
AS I TYPE THIS,
THE KIDS AND TEACHERS ARE STILL HELD IN TORTUROUS BONDAGE BY THE TERRORISTS.

3days ago,
The sister of an ex-minister and her twin kids were kidnapped. And within 3days, the security forces have secured their release.

The kidnapped children of the poor, some of them 2year olds and 3year olds, are languishing in a terrorist hellhole for the last 3weeks with no hope of a rescue but within 3days the kidnapped children of an ex minister got released by govt forces.

Well, incase you need another reminder, YOUR LIFE, THE LIFE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND THE LIVES OF ALL YOUR LOVED ONES is absolutely worthless to this government. These incompetent heartless lunatics in power will watch them kidnapped, killed, beheaded and do absolutely nothing.

Your life means nothing to this govt.
Just incase you have forgotten.

@SadiqMaunde Is that not who there right hand possesses Quran (specifically 23:5-6 and 70:29-30)

Same playbook being played by the Islamic jihadist financial arm (aka bandits )

Or is this verse

[Abu Amir @SadiqMaunde]

Bandits stormed a town, kidnapped a whole family, gave the father a knife to slaughter his daughter, the father refused. They gave the mother the knife to slaughter her daughter, she equally refused. The bandits then raped the daughter before the eyes of her dad & mom, & later on killed both the father & the mother. 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭

@iamnasboi What happened was the Lekkification of Nollywood and insecurity

[O.J Darasimi @josh_olonade]

Isn’t it funny that right at the time when jihad terrorists began to use violence, kidnappings, and terror to reportedly demand Sharia, the “moderate” ones immediately emerged to follow it up with a polite, diplomatic PR campaign for the exact same demand?.

[#TodayInHistory🇬🇧🇬🇧 @chinemelumma]

@ruffydfire I have always known that the whole kidnapped event was staged.

Sunday Igboho is now powerful and effective than Nigeria army and police..we joke a lot in this country
