Will You Convert To another religion If The Other Option Is Death? by AloyEmeka8: 12:19am On Aug 07, 2009

Boko Haram: How 3 pastors were beheaded eyewitness
From TIMOTHY OLA, Maiduguri

Thursday, August 6, 2009
One of the victims of last week’s attack by the Yusufiya sect in Borno State has given a shocking account of how the Islamic extremists killed three pastors who were captured along with other victims on the second day of the insurgence. The victim was among those held hostage in Yusuf’s enclave.




http://odili.net/news/source/2009/aug/6/505.html

Speaking exclusively to Daily Sun in Maiduguri, the eye witness who preferred anonymity disclosed that the three pastors were beheaded on the instruction of the sect leader, Mohammed Yusuf shortly after bringing them out of his inner chamber.

“The pastors alongside one Ibo man were asked to change their faith to Islam like they did to other people taken as hostages. I think there was an argument by one of the pastors which gave the others some level of confidence to also resist accepting Islam.

“The Yusufiya men who were armed on that Tuesday afternoon were not comfortable with the pastors and they took one of them to the sect leader in his inner chamber. They came out later to the courtyard within the compound and cut their heads one after the other and thereafter, shouted allah akbar in wild celebration accompanied with several gun shots,” the eye witness disclosed.

He said the hostages numbering about 50 within the area of the execution of the pastors and another fair complexioned man which he could not identify, were gripped with fear as non could foretell the outcome of their stay at the enclave of the fundamentalists. He was however lucky to escape as he was freed in the night with others with a warning not to mix with kafrici (infidels).

Corroborating the account of the killing, a Senior pastor with Good News Church, Wulari Maiduguri Rev. Baba Gata Ibrahim told Daily Sun in an interview that a pastor in his church, Pastor George Orjih was beheaded on the instruction of the Boko Haram leader because the clergy man refused to accept Islam.

“An eye witness who was also captured by the Islamic militants gave us details of how the pastor was killed. He told us they were persuading him to accept Islam and he said over his dead body. He was even said to have preached Christ to Mohammed Yusuf and that reportedly angered the sect leader who then as he ordered that the pastor and others be killed immediately,” he disclosed.

The late Pastor George Orjih was said to have arrived Maiduguri last week from Jos where he was doing his Masters programme in Theology. Described as a fearless, hardworking, and intellectually sound, his care for the welfare and well being of his family allegedly contributed to his capture and eventual death.

“He was mindful of his family and their welfare. He was really out of the house but thought to go back again. That was how he was captured by the Boko Haram before he was killed. It was the very week, in fact the following day he returned from school where he was doing his Masters in Theology that he was arrested,” the senior pastor added.

He urged the government to provide adequate security for Christian in the state.

Also delivering a sermon during the funeral rites for late Rev. Sabo Yakubu, slain COCIN Church pastor, the speaker, Rev Bulus Azi urged Christians to emulate the pastors who were killed because of their refusal to betray their faith. Quoting from the bible in Revelation 7: 9-15, the regional chairman of the church told Christians to prepare to die anytime as their calling demand.

I can only pray I'm never in that kind of situation, but if it's God's grace that I am, them I'll rather die than convert to Islam. Question though, what would an Igbo man be looking for in Brono state in the first place.

I remember a story i heard about an english woman who was captured by the Taliban in Afaganistan they made her promise to convert to Islam if they relleased her and she did. You would think that now many years later that she would reconvert to Christianity but she didn't, she even wears the hijab.

- olabowale is obviously a smooth and deceptive supportive supporter of islam.
- the boko haram killers were following islam.
- force conversion in islam includes and is not restricted to killing, beheading, taxation, harrasment etc.
- islam calls for forced conversion.
- olabowale is lying wen he says boko haram are evildoers considering that Mohammed himself did worst.
- Since mohammed and boko haram did the same things, then it means Olabowale just confirmed that Mohammed is also an evildoer.

Chei, abudumohammadins!!! so, what's d import of this post
Definitely not abdalmuhammadin, but Abdallah. Muhammad (AS) was also Abdallah, not by father, but his own personal name. You are also Abdallah, except that you are a stiff necked man who is denying his true nature. You remind me of a guy who begins to wear earring, or clean shave the face, religiously. They want to deny their no earring and hair on the face nature. Oh, you miss the point. No2Atheist got maybe 10% of my message. I think he mislabelled me as a smooth talker. Naah. Am just defending my religion, trying to set you guys straight.

Or you are a genie who already came to my home, but then cant read my mind, then turned to another "god" and still unable to read my mind?

If Prophet Muhammad (AS) and his companions (RA) were indiscriminate killers, it would have been unimaginable that any one who was not a muslim can be left to be alive in the height of Islamic authority, extending from the time of the opening of Makka, all the way before the century or two that say the end of islamic dominance in Europe while operating from Spain. Since we could not show that the sword was just going in and out of the nodies of "non Muslims", then your statement holds no merit.

Less than 50 years ago in Ethiopia, the late tyrannic leader "Emperor Haille Sallessi" and his Christian squard, the military gangs of killers, used to wager among themselves so that they can kill muslims by simply for example take opposing positions about what is inside of a pregnant Muslim woman; boy or girl. As they decided and take their positions, they just slice the stomach of the woman and comes falling out is the fetus will the mother fall and dies, along with the baby! Thats the handwork of "Christian elite", and it reminded me of the earlier tyrannical King Pharaoh who ordered that males be killed of the Chilren of israel, while leaving the weaker gender the female to live. You see while one was able to give the order to kill all male child, the other, by being silent and allowing the process of evilness to continue, actually sanctioned the behavior of his uniformed men!

Muhammad (AS) before Islam supported and protected the weak in his community. I think you guys should now refer to what Khadijah said to Muhammad at the event of his telling her what he saw of Angel Gabreil. Finally, Muhammad did not hate anyone, except that God Almighty hates the same person, and you must see here that Muhammad is that Another Comforter by the description of "what he hears he will say or do." Unlike you chickens, the yellow bellies who will not fight for your God, but fight for your personal honors, your not being obedient to God makes you all disbelievers. You will say that you are peaceful and forgive and pray for your enemies, but none of you can turn the other cheek and let go. Look around and tell us which Christian society has ever practiced it?
