True! Infact as a Muslim, you can get killed worshiping or sacrificing to any idol

People need to understand that Muslims don't worship Muhammed but acknowledges his effort in spreading the word of Allah (God) the same way we acknowledge Jesus Christ. Muhammed is not an idol and there's been no figurine depicting him as such.

exactly,most of the people with negative comments here have had little or no interactions with muslims,they can be very nice and they don't involve in any form of idolatry actions as some persons stated above

Gluttony has blindfolded many Christians to the point of eating meat sacrificed to an Arabian deity that was housed in Kaaba about 1441 ah.
You are eating meat that they slaughtered with Islamic recitation in other name. Whereas Acts 4 v 12 has given you the final verdict. Apiri ogologo.

The only thing I would to say regarding your opinion is, what do know about your neighbour and the food he has brought to eat or have invited you to eat?. What is your thought concerning the said food- is it an idol food and do you call the food defiled? If so it is defiled, and if not so it's not defiled. What you know and battle with your thought gives you what you fear and reject or accept and bless because accepting someone gift and wasting it it's also a sin.

It only fake believers that practices what you are doing. Go to the north, you wouldn't see any Hausa/Fulani moslem accepting easter or Christmas meat(food) from Christians.

You can also visit the former eastern region and check if you will find any indigenous Christian accepting food or meat from moslems during their festivals

Yorubas are our major problem in Nigeria as a nation. They don't know what is abomination is religion or politics. No different between Yoruba Moslems and Christians. They can freely share their place of worship with each other. The will eat anything eatable and married themselves regardless of what their religious holy book said. Yoruba attached no value to their religious belief but their personal comfort
How can there be a day without you being dumb? So because yorubas want to please you big headed yeebos they should not accept food from moslems? For the umpteenth time get it straight: yorubas have kins/ relations that are moslems & we cannot deny & forsake them for one yeye dubious bid headed traitor of Igbo.By the way, You think we dont know that some of your brothers in the East decided to become moslem & change their names & you could not do anything about it but look for one tribe to blame.

go to middle east were their is money and invite them to come and eat. You would see the way they would insult you. There is poverty bro. so even amadioha cook fried rice and invite Nigerians they would still go and eat.

My brother, the folks who eat at my place are not street urchins nor are they poor people. They are people who have built their own houses, have their own cars and can afford the basic needs of life.
Now, I have not been to the middle east except on holidays so I can not say much about how they would react. The discussion here is about Nigeria and Northern muslims in particular, so I don't think the middle East is an important factor here.
Secondly, it is about whether Christ permits eating such foods or not. No body has shown me where that is stated in the Bible. The verses and chapters quoted are quite explanatory. It is sure that If Jesus was here today, we would have castigated him for being friends with Zaccheus and Mathew. These things we often do thinking that this is what God wants. Now let anyone who has proof that God said otherwise present it

And who made you the judge of who's a real Christian and who's not?
Across the North, I have seen and heard of countless occassions where Muslims accepted meals from their Christian neighbors and friends during Christmas and Easter celebrations. I have also seen it in the Southeast.

You also had to bare your deep-seated ethnic bigotry by dragging your tribalism into it, not surprised. What does Yorubas have with the personal decision taken by the the OP? Only a tribalistic human like you can make such a connection where none exist.


We should prioritize religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians over doctrinal purity. There's absolutely nothing wrong with partaking in Islamic celebrations as a Christian or in Christian celebrations as a Muslim. Any act that builds bridges and strenghtens bonds should be highly welcomed.

Well, let me drop my opinion on this. i grew up in the north, maiduguri to be precise. during christmas, my muslim sxhool mates do visit me at home n eat with me ..... during sallah, though i don't go to their houses but they bring me drinks, chinchin, cakes etc in class. the only food i ve issue with is the Meat, which is gotten from the ram n its believed was dedicated to their God before slaughter...though i dnt knw how true its ....but neither those things affected my faith in Christ jesus or killed me. in fact good muslims r very nice n understanding.
I love how you have clarified false information as someone who have lived in the north.. for this reason, I will furnish you with reason why Muslims slaughter animals as sacrifice as it can be found in the bible and Quran.

This story is in both the Book of Genesis and, with some interesting variations, the Quran. In the story, Abraham receives a shocking injunction from God: He must offer his beloved son as a sacrifice. As a devoted servant of God, he agrees to obey and takes the child to Mount Moriah to slaughter him. At the last moment, God, satisfied with Abraham’s devotion, saves the boy by sending a ram as a substitute.

The point of the sacrifice is to kill something dear to man as an offering to the divine, as Abraham was prepared to do, serving as a reminder to followers of Islam not to become preoccupied by their possessions or lose sight of their spiritual compass.
As Allah says in the Qu’ran. “It is not their meat, nor their blood, that reaches GOD. It is their piety that reaches GOD. The sacrificed animal is cut into thirds: one portion is given to the impoverished, another to friends and relatives and the last retained and eaten by the family.

Intelligent response. Seeing responses such as this is refreshing.
We all claim to be the only person with the true knowledge. They ask us why we are so sure of this and we say it is written in our books. Now, most of the religions have books, most have prophets, priests or leaders of theirs. Based on these claims, we fight among ourselves, we kill and maim; To make matters worse, some people claim their God is the all powerful, yet they fight on his behalf (what an Irony!!).

I disagree with you. I'm not a Muslim but I'm a Christian.

Allah is the equivalent name of God in arabic. Arabic is a language just like Latin or English used for worship by either Muslims or Christian.

If you go to countries in middle-east where there are Christians and Arabic is the language, the word Allah is used when referring to God.

The Koran is basically the same as out old testament... My point is, Muslims don't worship demons nor sacrifice to demons. Rather they pray for the soul of the animals being slaughtered because they believe anything that has live in it does not deserve to die in pain.

On this assertion you can't be 100% correct because I know many Muslims who are very diabolical and they take it as part of the religion, and I also know many who don't want to involve themselves in such and what they always call on and talk about is the creator of the universe that He has all powers and protection therefore they can't do such acts with idols. Now you ask yourself who are the Scholars and teaches that preaches to these classes of humans?. And this still goes down to what impact or personal understanding we have in our faith and the interpretation we give them. Recognising God as the first and the last by honouring God first is the only thing that can establish good morals and value I ones life. And this makes one to be careful in your choice of action because you have a question to answer later, and can only be you.
We need not to play ourselves thinking that we are playing God. My being a Christian was orchestrated by God as I was born into a Christian family, and my neighbour as a Muslim is also not his making but God because he's born into a Muslim family.

I tell you for fact that what they do is basically exploit some verses or prayers in the Koran (the Bible also have its fair share of these verses and prayers) and either use it for good or evil which in most cases rely on the target's beliefs in it being harmful to them.

We have Christian sects who do same too... Are they also diabolic?
