Islam in Fast Demise

In Africa Alone Everyday, 16,000 Muslims Leave Islam

By Ali Sina
Hitler said if a lie is repeated often enough and long enough, it would come to be
perceived as truth. One such lie often repeated is �Islam is the fastest growing
religion�.
Despite the fact that Muslims by virtue of being poor and uneducated are much
more reproductive than others, Islam as a religion is not growing but dying fast.
More and more Muslims are discovering that the violence evinced by some of
their coreligionists is not an aberration but is inspired by the teachings of the
Quran and the examples set by its author. Muslims are becoming disillusioned
with Islam. They find out that the mechanistic ritual of praying five times per day,
reciting verses that they do not understand and indeed mean nothing, getting up
at taxing hours of the morning and abstaining from food and water until the
sunset are not means to becoming more spiritual but are instruments to control
their mind. These enlightened Muslims no more heed to the fear mongering
verses of the Quran that threaten to burn them and roast them in the fires of hell
if they dare to think and question the validity of that book.
Every day thousands of Muslim intellectuals are leaving Islam. They find Islam
inconsistent with science, logics, human rights and ethics. Millions of Iranians
already have left Islam. The enlightened Muslims of other nationalities are not far
behind. This is the beginning of a mass exodus from Islam. It is a movement that
is already in motion and nothing can stop it.
However the exodus from Islam is not reserved to the intellectuals but also the
average Muslims are finding that Islam is not the way to God but to ignorance,
poverty and wars. They are leaving Islam to embrace other religions especially
the Christianity.
Perhaps it is best to listen to the truth coming from the mouth of the horse. The
Internet site aljazeera.net published an interview with Ahmad Al Qataani ‫أحمد القطعاني‬
An important Islamic cleric who said: �In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to
Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million
Muslims convert to Christianity."
What Muslims say among each other, is not the same thing that they say for the
consumption of the Westerners?
These are huge numbers. If this trend continues we can expect to see Islam
become insignificant in Africa in just a few decades. This is good news for those
 2

who are concerned about the on going slavery in Africa and the prospects of war
and genocide.
In fact with the weakening of Islam, we can hope to see peace in many war-
ridden parts of the world including Palestine. By now it should be clear that any
road map to peace between Israel and Palestine will be blocked by the Islamists
and the terrorists. Peace in Middle East is not possible as long as Islam is the
ideology of the masses.
It is important that we realize that this terrorism that is threatening the peace of
the world and these wars that bleed the Muslim nations are not economically
motivated but are they are hate motivated. They are religious wars. The
weakening of Islam means peace for mankind.
These huge numbers of Muslims leaving Islam alarmed Al Qataani and Al
Jazeera Network, but humanity must rejoice over these numbers. The weakening
of Islam means the triumph of mankind.

Maher Abdallah:
Dear viewers, peace of Allah be upon you, greetings and welcome to a new
episode of the program Islamic Law and Life.

Our topic this evening will be Christianisation in the Dark Continent ... Africa. For
after Islam was the religion of the majority, the great majority of that continent,
the number of Muslims now is no greater than a third of the population. This is
taking into consideration, of course, that a large portion of this group are Arab
Muslims. No doubt that the missions of evangelisation and Christianisation
played a great role in this demographic shift of Muslims in the continent.

To discuss this topic, it is my pleasure to introduce today a man who is an expert

on the issue of evangelisation and Christianisation in Africa, even though he will
concentrate on the issue of Christianisation first and foremost�. Sheikh Ahmad
Al Qataani; the president of The Companions Lighthouse for the Science of
Islamic Law in Libya, which is an institution specializing in graduating imams and
Islamic preachers.

Sheikh Ahmad, welcome to you on the program.

Ahmad Al Qataani:
Greeting to you.

Maher Abdallah:
If we start by inquiring about your strict stance against the Christian missions in
Africa, don’t the followers of every religion have the right to seek new converts,
exactly as you train and graduate young Muslims to propagate Islam?

Ahmad Al Qataani:
I seek refuge in Allah the Seer, the Knower, from the stoned devil. In the name of
Allah the Merciful the Beneficent. Thanks to Allah the One, the Only, the
Permanent One, who did not give birth nor was born, to whom no one was equal.
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah who has no partners, and I bear
witness that our master Muhammad, Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him - is
his messenger and seal of prophets; Allah prayers be upon him and his brothers
the prophets and messengers and their families.

The question that you pose is a result of not comprehending the difference
between the concept of Christianisation and the concept of evangelism.

The concept of evangelism: is inviting the non-Christians to the Christian or

Nazarene religion, and this is the right of every Christian and the right of every
believer to call others to his faith. However, we are talking about a different
matter; which is Christianisation. Christianisation means the following: preparing
plans, and executing these plans and evolving these plans to change Muslims
into Christians by taking advantage of the ignorance and poverty (of the people)
and whatever necessitates from similar circumstances.

So, we are faced with the issue of taking advantage of circumstances, taking
advantage of humanitarian needs, taking advantage of the lack of education for
example, that these people (missionaries) use to take Muslims out of their
religion.

Maher Abdallah:
Fine. This is a big and dangerous phrase. Taking advantage of poverty, of
ignorance, of lack of education, of some need is something that a Muslim can
also be accused of. So if you don’t back up what you say with examples, with
references, your words remain in the air without much weight to them.

Ahmad Al Qataani:
The reality is that these words say a lot less than they should. As we said in the
beginning, everyone has the right to invite others to his religion; this is what is
known as evangelism (or proselytising). As for Christianisation, no one has the
right to take Muslims out of their religion, and you asked for references and the
references are too numerous.

Islam used to represent, as you previously mentioned, Africa’s main religion and
there were 30 African languages that used to be written in Arabic script. The
number of Muslims in Africa has diminished to 316 million, half of whom are
 4

Arabs in North Africa. So in the section of Africa that we are talking about, the
non-Arab section, the number of Muslims does not exceed 150 million people.
When we realize that the entire population of Africa is one billion people, we see
that the number of Muslims has diminished greatly from what it was in the
beginning of the last century. On the other hand, the number of Catholics has
increased from one million in 1902 to 329 million 882 thousand (329,882,000).
Let us round off that number to 330 million in the year 2000.

As to how that happened, well

.there are now 1.5 million churches whose congregations account for 46 million
people. In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000
Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to
Christianity
These numbers are very large indeed.

Maher Abdallah (interrupting):

Hold on! Let me clarify. Do we have 6 million converting from Islam to Christianity
or converting from Islam and other religions?

Ahmad Al Qataani:
Great (question)! The other religions are not placed on the list of Christianisation;
rather they are placed on the list of evangelisation. The other religion in Africa is
paganism; so it’s Islam, Christianity or paganism. There isn’t something similar to
Asia for example where you have Buddhism or Zoroastrianism. In Africa it is just
these three, so if you talk about Christianisation then it targets the only other
heavenly religion, which is Islam. As for paganism, those people worship animals
and planets and the like.

Maher Abdallah:
So 6 million Muslims a year convert?

Ahmad Al Qataani:
Every year �.. In the African nations this century a tragedy happened. Take for
example what happened in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is an Arab nation and I am not
saying a Muslim nation. If any student looks up the word Habasha (Ethiopia) in
the book Ocean Dictionary written by Al-Fairuz Abady, he will find that the word
Habashat means “people of different tribes” and this is what happened. Ethiopia
was a place where Arabs from different tribes would go to live for a while. We all
know that Islam entered Ethiopia before Islam entered the city of Medina. We all
know that AL-Najashy (the ruler of Ethiopia) was a Muslim. It is mentioned by Al-
Darkatny in his biography of the prophet � Allah’s prayer and peace be upon
him � that during the month of Rajab in the 9th year of the Hijra (Muslim
calendar) that the prophet said to his companions: �Rise up and pray on your
 5

brother Al-Najashy.� From that year on the practice of praying on the absent
was established. Therefore from the time of the prophet, Allah’s prayer and
peace be upon him � Islam entered Ethiopia. So what has happened to
Ethiopia?

What happened is that in the days of Emperor Hela Silasi who used to force
Muslims to bow to the Christian, and if he refused then he was whipped 45
lashes and jailed between 2 and 5 years. In the year 1948, a massacre occurred
at the hands of the Amharic tribes; the Amharic being Christians and
collaborators, who continued to slaughter Muslims for 7 months and perform the
most horrific acts imaginable. For example they deprived them from the most
basic human rights, to the point that they mutilated the male Muslims
reproductive organs so that no more Muslim children would be born. Ethiopia
was rewarded after all these horrific acts; rewarded by being made the head
quarters of the African Unity League.

Let us move to another location in Africa, let it be Nigeria. Muslims know Nigeria
by the name of the Land of Takror. The British founded Nigeria at the beginning
of the last century, and many Islamic sources mention its name as the Land of
Tekror. There is even a letter by the reciter Suyuti, who died in the year 911 Hijri,
where the title is: Opening the blessed request and relating the hidden openly to
the questions of the people of Takror. So there was an established relationship,
and they used to send questions to the scholars of Islam, so this letter (of
questions) was sent from one of the sheikh scholars of Nigeria that was called
Takror to the Muslim scholar AL Suyuti in Egypt and he in turn responded and the
contents of this letter are published and printed and is found in the book �The
collection Islamic decrees�.

Nigeria’s population is 120 million people, 70% of whom are Muslim. In the 1960s
a British missionary came and declared that he will Christianise North Nigeria,
the majority of whom are Muslim. As a result, Ahmad Banulo (from the leaders of
the Muslims) was forced at the time to move him to Lagos the capital. As a result
the butcher Arorese, that was present at the time, eliminated all the Muslim rulers
and killed Ahmad Banulo, why? Because he merely dared to move this
missionary who declared that he wishes to Christianise North Nigeria.

In another country, Zanzibar, is an Arabic African nation and I am not saying

Muslim. Zanzibar was always connected to the Sultanate of Oman (in the
Persian Gulf). Concerning Zanzibar, there was a priest by the name Julius Niriry,
president of Tanzania, who annihilated 20,000 Muslims (male and female) with a
military force lead by a chicken thief. This thief was imprisoned for being accused
of stealing chickens; he was released and asked to command the military brigade
that annihilated 20,000 Muslims.

Maher Abdallah:
My dear viewers welcome back to this episode where we are speaking about the
topic of Christianisation in the African continent and we are speaking with the
Sheikh who is observing and following this issue, as each hour Islam loses just
under 700 Muslims who join the Christian religion which leads us to the number
of 6 million Muslims every year.

Our sir, you mentioned that there are advantages being taken of necessities:
poverty, ignorance; what you mentioned then are waves of elimination, waves of
religious eradication, and there is no need to call is racial eradication�..
However, let us go back to the topic necessity and exploitation. This may have all
been in the past; the military expeditions that you spoke of were all in the
beginning or middle of the last century, but what is happening today in regards to
exploiting necessities?

Ahmad Al Qataani:
What I wanted to say is that these military expeditions and wars paved the way
for what we are seeing today; converting 6 million Muslims every year did not
happen from nothing, but was a result of what I mentioned earlier.

As for the topic of necessity exploitation, then a nation like Somalia, whose
population is 9.5 million people, are all Muslim without exception. There are no
Christians or pagans. And if you did find any then they are an insignificant
number that are not even on official statistics. A Belgian missionary by the name
of Sabeh came to Somalia and purchased 30,000 Muslim youth, he took
advantage of their parent’s poverty, and we all know the terrible situation that
Somalia is going through now and what it went through a few years ago. This is
taking advantage of a humanitarian need that any human can go through.
