who told you this?. We do. Maybe not as much as you do. It is called "Dawah". You ever heard of it?.

Colonial mentality is what slowed down Muslims in the field of evangelism, I believe.

Even u is asking if he has heared of such before?

U not even sure... Nothing to talk here... I have never seen Muslim evangelize... Since i was born till am a grown man

Because the hotel owners are Christians, and lodgers are predominantly Christians too. Let Moslems build their own hotels and put Quran in their hotel rooms.

To answer your question, there is a Christian foundation called Gideon's International . Their vision is to provide the Holy Bible in all hospitals, schools and hotels.

The hotel owners are receiving those Bibles for free.

You must have received a Gideon's New Testament Bible while in secondary school

Muslims are not d only one brainwashed killing in d name of god,the crusaders killed more than anyone could count in the name of god

First of....people like u are the reason why Nigeria is still this way...I know u will still take this as an attack just like u took my first comment...but tell the average Nigerian today not to do wrong..he will counter ur suggestion with a reason why he would keep doing it..like "shébi our leaders too are corrupt"..
I didn't mean my comment as a contest between the two religion...u will hardly ever see any other religion killing people in the name of God in this 21st century...
Or tell me why a student suppose to be educated strapped a bomb in his underwear and boarded a plane containing women and children....
Someone has clearly told him something, and also he hasn't heard the portion of Qur'an that says if u kill a person u have killed a whole generation and if save u have save a whole generation.....someone is brain washing and u Muslims aren't doing anything about sensitisation...u gather and talk about christains claiming that Jesus is not the son of God.....but that won't solve the killings would it....

if these teachings are rooted..the next generations of Muslims to come won't be easily brainwashed to killing their fellow humans

THE GIDEONS PUT THE BIBLES IN ALL HOTELS IN THE WORLD. MOST HOTELS IN THE NORTH HAS A BIBLE IN EACH ROOM.
On average, more than two copies of the Bible are distributed per second through Gideons International. In late April 2015, Gideons distributed their historic two billionth Scripture. The distribution of the first one billion Bibles and New Testaments by Gideon members spanned 93 years (1908 to 2001).

suicide bomb kind of evangelism I guess. I'd rather try and disturb my neighbor with subtle talk/preaching,than blow him to pieces in the name of'infidels'

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. No matter what you do you cannot cover the glory of God, Jesus is the Light and no personality either you're spiritually created or physically formed all things were made by Christ and for Him.God made all animate and inanimate things, we're all under Him.

I live in KANO STATE, there are no bibles in the hotels here. Some hotels will not even allow you to lodge with your personal bibles. They have qur'an is all the rooms and the name of allah written and hanged on the wall.
get that to your head....

No, Muslims have never been evangelizing. Islam gains converts through conquests, a strongman's conversion(e.g king) or economic domination.
Only fairly recently has some sects mainly the Tabligh taken evangelism seriously.

Why should we have The Word of Allah in hotels, while we know that most hotels if not all are places of fornication and alcohol. And Allah has protected His book from such filthy places.

Only someone who doesn't understand Islam or wants to become like the West would advice The Quran be put in such hotels.
Balderdash.
Don't people on transit sleep in hotels?Don't married couples sleep over there?
Is it everyone that does something 'filthy' in a hotel?

lol, this is illogical. Hotel by definition is meant to provide accommodation for travellers especially. It is not designed for fornication or adultery. But people may do Haram things they want while hotel establishment is not responsible for that. However, hotel management may accommodates Haram stuff like alcohol etc. But this has nothing to do with whoever doesn't want to drink alcohol or fornication.

In Nigeria, we have different definition of hotel from day 1. We have the idea that hotel primary use is for Haram activities. If you travel to another country where you don't know anyone, you have to rent hotel. You possibly carry your Quran with you too. And I do this. I rent hotels all the time and I see their Bible placed in the drawer on the side.

Because the Moslems consider a hotel an unholy place due to activities that go on behind close doors and the alcoholism. They don't want their book desecrated
