The title of the article below is telling: “I am not a religious bigot’ – Northern female senator who dumped Islam for Christianity cries out.” Why would anyone think that this new convert was bigoted for converting to Christianity? It is because everywhere in the world, no matter what one’s race or ethnicity might be, anyone who does anything that Muslims consider to be casting a negative light on Islam is viewed as a bigot or an “Islamophobe.” It is a calculated ploy that has worked for far too long. It is against Islamic teaching to criticize Islam, so to impose this view globally is a victory for Islamic supremacists; anyone who apologizes for offending Islam or criticizing its abuses is handing them another victory.
Binta Masi is the only female senator from Northern Nigeria, so she has drawn public attention to herself as an apostate. She also lives in a region where Christians are routinely murdered by Boko Haram and its offshoot, the Fulani group — frequently referred to as “herdsmen.” Let’s hope that barbaric jihadists do not murder her as an apostate. No amount of apologizing will render Masi forgiven. There is no doctrine of forgiveness in Islam.
“‘I am not a religious bigot’ – Northern female senator who dumped Islam for Christianity cries out,” by Ameh Comrade Godwin, Daily Post, May 3, 2018:
Binta Masi, the only female senator from Northern Nigeria in the 8th assembly has expressed sadness over alleged moves by some political opponents to portray her as a religious bigot.
Masi made this known while speaking with newsmen on Thursday in her Ward, Jigalambu, in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
According to Masi, her political opponents had misrepresented her recent testimony in church to mark her 50th birthday, where she spoke on her conversion to Christianity at a tender age, as insulting to Islam and Muslims.
“I am not a religious bigot. I come from a family with religious tolerance where we have Muslims and Christians.
“My grandfather is a Christian; my father and mother are Muslims and we are living peacefully with other Muslim and Christian siblings and family members.”
Masi, representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, noted that she was first elected into the House of Representatives in Kaduna in a constituency where Muslims were in the majority.
“Politicians need to realise the danger of religious sentiments, particularly in our area and be kind enough to concentrate on issue-based campaign.”…..
The Crusader says
Send brave souls to protect her and her families. GOD BLESS HER.
overman says
A brave and beautiful woman. l hope God has her back.

Nigerian Senator converts to Christianity from Islam, Muslims accuse her of “bigotry”
………………….
Only in Islam would a peaceful act of personal conscience be considered “bigotry”.
Meanwhile, they would never consider mass slaughtering such Christians to be bigoted.
souare says
One more African who has escaped form the clutches of Arab Cultural Imperialism in the form of Arab Islam. This is the bane of Africa North of the the Equator maximally infected by the virus of Islam.
What sane and normal person would embrace an Islamic terror group such as Boko Haram that beheads children, kidnaps girls, rapes them, and bombs innocents both Muslims and Christians? All this is “pleasing to Allah”, its spokesmen say.
It should be noted though that Boko Haram is based way to the North of Nigeria
in Borno State. The violent conflict between the Fulani herdsmen and their grazing cattle on agricultural lands of farmers is in Benue State far to the mid-South of Nigeria. It is not a religious conflict.

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
mithraist christianity breeds mental disorder. I know that no body cares about her conversion to filthy mithraist christianity, more especially muslims from her tribe because it is normal for christian to practice Islam and muslim to practice christianity during celebrations in that tribe . Conflicts in Northern Nigeria are purely tribal, not religious. my own sister is presently married to a muslim from a mixed muslim and christian tribe, but no christian cares to question why my Brother-in-law be a muslim or marry an Arab muslim lady.This also the case among Yorubas in the south west.
So, such propaganda of muslim female senator converting is nothing.

Shut up you Muslim moron.

Ibrahim.
I’m back. Why didn’t you answer my questions?
I wanted you to show me from the Greek of the New Testament where Mithraism fits in.
Here it is again. Exactly the same as last time. Please don’t avoid it.
In Christianity There is one God who reveals himself in 3 persons. This may sound unusual in English but looking at the original languages it is obvious.
Examples. In the Old Testament YHWH, is the name of the judeo-Christian God. Sometimes the name is used of the Father, Sometimes the Son and Sometimes the Holy Spirit.
All are co-equal and eternal.
I am giving you a website so I don’t have a write too much!
http://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-oneness-unity.htm
I also want to give you just one of several places in the New Testament which explains about Jesus.
Two more websites to be used in conjunction with each other.
http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/joh16.pdf
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+16&version=NASB
The first website has the Greek. The second website has modern English.
Have a look at verse 27 and verse 30. They say clearly in Greek that Jesus literally came out from the Father. Just like toothpaste squeezed out of the tube is the same as that inside the tube, so Jesus, came out from the Father, made of the same stuff as his Father.
The Greek is unambiguous.
I can do the same for the Holy Spirit in John 15 v 26. The Holy Spirit also proceeds from, comes out from the Father.
I hope that helps in your understanding that Jesus has from eternity past always been eternal and eternally proceeding from the Father.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
R Russel,i said neither Jesus nor any of his disciples spoke in Greek. Those who wrote the Gospels in Greek were anonymous. In fact, according to Bart Erhman, even what paul wrote were forged. This lent the Gospels written in Greek to be speculative hearsay from oral traditions from early christians who were illiterates. Hence importation of pagan doctrines like Godman and begotten son of God, essentially from mithraism.
Lydia Church says
Not that I read any of it, but everything you say is the opposite of the truth.
You are a filthy blasphemer of the true God of the Christian Bible.
God is Trinity.
islam is pagan and muslims worship the moon god, it is the most evil, vile, vulgar and filthy religion of satan besides satanism itself!
I’m glad this lovely lady found the one true God!
Lydia Church says
It is filthy mithraist pagan islam, you hellbound sinner!
R Russell says
Ibrahim.
Thank you for your reply.
Ehrman is not a Christian.
I have to disagree with what you write. Greek had become the language of the State, and the Jews had largely forgotten Hebrew, speaking Aramaic, in the mid 3rd century BC the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek.
Jerusalem was a cosmopolitan city at the time of Jesus. The Jews living overseas came to Jerusalem for the Feasts and they spoke Greek.
Whenever quotations from the Old Testament are used in the New Testament, they come from the Greek Septuagint.
Jewish boys, in Jesus time went to school. One of the disciples, Matthew needed to be well educated for he was a tax collector for the Romans. He needed to be a good mathematician and to speak Latin – the language of the Romans.
Paul was a scholar under the teaching of Gamaliel, a revered teacher. Paul was a Roman citizen.
Erhman is only repeating myths.
http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2014/04/16/3986412.htm
How do you explain what I have written about the Greek New Testament? (and even from the Old Testament) YHWH is used of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One God reveled in 3 persons. In the Old Testament there are places where we are told YHWH communicates with YHWH. In Hebrew there are 2 plural forms. a. Plural of 2. b. Plural of more than 2. When the Old Testament speaks of the plurality of God, it use the plural for more than 2.
The superscription on Jesus’ cross was written in Greek, Latin and Hebrew.
Those who wrote the New Testament put their names to their writings did so to show their authenticity.
Here is a website which proves the scientific authenticity of the Bible.
Website: ‘Scientific proofs in the KJ Bible’
Please watch the following videos. I hope it will give you the information you need to realise the Bible is true.
The authenticity of the Bible. I hope these show you that Christians do not believe a myth – that they have got to know the person called Jesus, who is an excellent friend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5y8SpBPwbw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE6jL4Qx8es
I don’t see why you would believe the Bible is not authentic. There are C 2500 detailed prophecies in the Bible.
To date C 2000 have been fulfilled in detail with no failures. Of the other C 500, some are either still future or in the process of being fulfilled.
There are 353 detailed prophecies about Jesus alone.
I’m sure you will understand that the style of writing demonstrates who the author is. It shows the different writing styles of the authors of the Bible.
Read the early church fathers.
http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/churchfathers.html
The New Testament can also be judged authentic because of the extra-Biblical references.
https://www.rationalchristianity.net/jesus_extrabib.html
Finally, all of Jesus’ apostles except John, were martyred. I don’t know any people who would be willing to be persecuted and killed for a lie, so the martyrdom of the apostles took place because they knew the Bible Jesus as a person in the spiritual realm.
Please get back to me with your thoughts.
Carol the 1st says
Ibrahim…Because many people were “illiterates” they quite excelled in the oral tradition. Their minds were trained for it. Ancient storytellers like the Irish Shanachie could remember reams of word for word stories and information. Jesus was in the living memory of some disciples. They, and other people with trained memories, seem to have carried the Word forward with amazing fidelity.
For curiosity I looked up the word BIGOT and here’s what I got:
A person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
Let’s call a vote on who’s the biggest bigot visiting Jihad Watch.

Ibrahim itace muhammed’s Muslim sister is married off to a Muslim–how does this prove anything at all about how Muslims treat Christians in general or Muslim apostates to Christianity specifically? Of course, it does not.
More, in reply to Jaws:

Of course, nothing but threats against Christians. Why does Ibrahim itace muhammed consider Christianity to be “worshiping the satan” and “fit for beasts only”? Well, Christians worship a loving God, which pious Muslims like him consider a “corruption”.

Without indoctrination, any mature mind would never believe any of that nonsense all three faiths now believe in. because he or she have never had a free independent choice to believe or not believe in anything.

No one is forced to believe in Judaism or Christianity–there is no death penalty for leaving these faiths as there is in Islam. Just more false moral equivalence.
Carol the 1st says
I venture to suspect there really aren’t many ‘true believers’. It’s more a ‘suspension of disbelief’ when it comes to the dogmas and the ‘weird and wonderful’ of most religions. Nonetheless, when held lightly, belief systems are unifying and comforting and surely do a lot more good than harm – they can point us in better directions and are hopefully a cut above politics (but don’t take any of the wooden nickels rolling about these days).

“…Binta Masi is the only female senator from Northern Nigeria, so she has drawn public attention to herself as an apostate…”
Another heroic public figure is born! She’ll need a good private security attachment. In Nigeria the cost shouldn’t be prohibitive. Someone with an eye for the future and some spare capital could make a significant contribution to her safety and strengthen Nigeria’s opportunity to survive it’s unrelenting Jihad assailants.
Lydia Church says
The muslims are the bigots for complaining!
Or else they would simply shut up.
They are just angry that another one has found the one true religion of God; Christianity!
That’s when the devil and his demons always get angry, and rile up his servants against the holy saints of the true God as we see Christians attacked all over the world throughout all of church history!
Lydia Church says
Oh, and in usual fashion, the muslims totally miss the point.
Even if a person had converted to some other vile religion such as hedonism or whatever, the person has the right to change their religion! It’s besides the point if others approve, agree, or accept that ideology or not! No one needs to come up to them and get an official stamp of approval first, it is a personal choice! The fact that muslims have all sorts of laws in the koran and on the books against converting to other religions, hunting down and murdering those who do, as well as hunting down and murdering anyone who simply is of another religion already, shows what intolerant bigots muslims are!!!
Too bad you muslims, but you don’t need to like it!
Those are our basic human rights (besides, God WANTS folks to convert to Christianity), and we are going to exercise them!
Matthieu Baudin says
“…The repulsive Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote…”
‘Graven Image’ – isn’t that a bit harsh. The real problem with Ibrahim is that he fails to follow up on most of the leads and opportunities that people provide to him. For instance, I’ve offered to have a beer or glass of wine with him sometime to talk over all this tub thumping stuff that that he goes on about. But do you think he’s ever thought to even say ‘thanks’ but ‘no thanks’ or ‘sure bro – I’ll bring some mint tea’? You know, he doesn’t seem to seek out any real friendship whatsoever which is bound to be a problem for someone who has plans for the entire world.

“her conversion to Christianity at a tender age, as insulting to Islam and Muslims.”
She converted when she was young so not a “new covert.”
She is a Christian politician who won in a constituency where Muslims were in the majority.
Terra Nova says
Ibrahim, may be this female senator was so sick and tired of the violent Islam, and when the peace and love from Christianity met her, she converted, and I hope that people will protect her, because it is so ridiculous that people have to be afraid to leave their religion. I could not care less if people change their religion in what ever, as long as ” I ” am not getting oppressed, taken my freedom of speech away, beheaded, raped stoned, robbed what to eat how to eat it and be pulled into violence and scaring me.
Then it really bothers me and calling me filthy names. All on our expenses and taxpayers money and all your beautiful mosques, which I used to admire. Now they have become sinister death places where people scheme and complot how to conquer western countries, destroy our properties, putting fear into people, and I worry about your filth you spit out in your comments, you are so full of hate.
Islam made their bed and you all have to lay in it. May be you should attend a Chritian sermon once,
may be it would calm you down, believe me, you really need it, and that is spoken without any menace.
I wish you all the best.

R Russel, i said the Gospels taught by jesus were not recorded in Greek in his presence or any of his disciples and later writers of the Gospels in Greek were anonymous rendering the accounts speculative hearsay stories that gave rise to human manupulations and incorporation of pagan doctrines like plurality of God or Godman and begotten son of God. Do honest research to save yourself from paganism.
R Russell says
Ibrahim,
Jesus’ disciples wrote the biographies and then letters to various churches of Christians. John, the only disciple not to be martyred also wrote Revelation.
I agree the Gospels were not written when Jesus was living in the Middle East. Did you watch the videos about the authenticity of the Bible?
Do you know that the Dead Sea Scrolls prove the Scripture was never changed. The quoting of the Septuagint in the New Testament also proves the Scriptures have never been changed.
The Early Church Fathers and the extra-Biblical texts all prove the Scriptures were never changed. I gave you links to follow.
What evidence do you have that they were changed?
gravenimage says
Ibrahim itace muhammed is spewing the typical Muslim line here that Christianity used to be just as savage as Islam, but that Christians then “corrupted” the Gospel with such things as the Golden Rule and a loving God, and that the Bible used to be as ugly as the Qur’an.
Never mind that there is no historic basis for these absurd claims.
