A beautiful gesture, to be sure. But when has it ever been reciprocated? When will it ever be?
“We serve one God – Pastor donates money for mosque completion,” by Wale Odunsi, Daily Post, June 20, 2018:
A Senior Pastor with the Peniel Church of God in Calabar, Essien Ayi, on Tuesday donated N1million to help the Muslim community in the Cross River State capital complete its central mosque.
The Nation reports that, Ayi who represents Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar-South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, made the cash donation at Gbogobiri, an Hausa settlement in Calabar.
“Every human being whether Christian or Muslim believes in God, the creator. The religion may be different. The mode of practicing may be different, but it is tilted towards one being, which is God,” he said
“Also, the Muslim society has been very supportive of me right from when I was chairman and they informed me that their former mosque had been demolished and they are trying to erect a new and befitting mosque. I feel as a representative, they too are my constituents.
”I am bound to make a token donation towards the completion of that mosque. We should be be our brothers’ keepers. We are all Nigerians irrespective of our religion
“That is all we preach about. We call for a harmonious living environment because if you don’t have a peaceful atmosphere, you cannot even practice your religion. Let us come together. We should not start fighting ourselves and make the environment unconducive for us to stay.
”If we are in peace everyone can practice their own religion. That is what we believe. Peaceful coexistence is what we need,” he added….

Carol the 1st says
Maybe they supported Ayi because they knew he was a dhimmi at heart. Funny how their “same” God can’t seem to halt their predatory nature. Kind of a cruel joke on the dhimmi world, isn’t it?
Since none of us can fully “know” God, let’s just say the muslims’ Allah product is a “different brand”.

appeasing muslims by doing them a favor is not returned in kind
instead it is seen as cowardness and weekness ( which is at least partially true)
this was tried many times by Egypt christians. it never worked

“We serve one God”, exactly we do not serve the hateful god of islam. This is really scary when you have a Nigerian Christian pastor supporting islam while muslims are raping and murdering Christians in Nigeria. There is something not right here. Something is not right with this story period.

“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” – Isaiah 14:12 NIV
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
– Isaiah 14:12 KJV
The center of the Venus cult was the black Kaaba stone at Mecca, presumably a meteorite that had fallen from the tail of Venus. Mohammed is said to have ruled that the rituals around the Kaaba were a pious practice and could continue as part of the Haj.
Alexius Comnenus says
You are perfectly right. That pastor is not a real Christian. He is compromising the Christian Theology and Biblical truth by supporting islam-a false ‘religion’.
Without being judgmental, I see this man equal to Judah Iscariot.

Well, this genuinely lovely–I’ve read all three of these stories.
What Lebel does *not* say is that in the first two stories this was a response by less orthodox Muslims to their more devout coreligionists attacking and sometimes murdering Christians.
Of course, Lebel neither acknowledges this nor says anything critical of it. But then, why would he?
It is nice that there are decent Muslims who ignore some of the viciousness their creed demands–but this does not change how Islam teaches the persecution and murder of non-Muslims, including Christians.

The pastor seems to be saying “we all worship the same God” which a cursory reading of Christianity’s and Islam’s holy books will show is patently false. The congregants of this pastors church should demand all their tithes be returned for their do not want to fund a religion that is diametrically opposed to the Christian faith.
j_not_a says
This so called pastor has been deceived, has allowed himself to be deceived. The Bible talks about mass deception in the last days about false teachers spreading false doctrine as a sign of the end times. Including so called Christians, whom Christ and His Father reject because of their spreading false teachings.
Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds”
2 Thessalonians 2:9 “The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness”
And there are so many more.

Back in 2017, Christian preacher Victor Ajisafe (formerly from Nigeria) gave a sermon in Sierra Leone in which he called Islam “a violent religion of lies and deceit…responsible for every terrorist act in the history of the world”.

Reading the article clearly shows everyone in a panic over the “misjudged” hot potato – but Heaven help the one who drops it or calls it by its name!!

False!!! It is a DIFFERENT GOD because it is a DIFFERENT RELIGION! He has sold out like Judas!
It is NOT the same God! islam is not ‘towards God, the Creator,’ but away from God and towards the devil! You can’t worship Him the way you think is best, He says you must worship Him in HIS WAY! God created man, but that does not mean they worship Him through ‘any’ religion, even if they intend to. You MUST go through Jesus, or you won’t reach the Creator either (and they are one God). You can’t ‘sidestep’ Jesus ‘just because’! And islam is not an ‘Abrahamic’ religion any more than the other pagan religions that sprang up through Abraham’s descendents! God is not the author of confusion, of contradictory religions, but of ONE religion, the true one; Christianity! That is what true Judaism lead to, Christianity, and that is the only religion that Abraham would validate today. These one world religion interfaith idiots are selling their souls to the devil for five minutes of ‘peace’ that they won’t even get!

”If we are in peace everyone can practice their own religion. That is what we believe. Peaceful coexistence is what we need,” he added….

What a joke! Has he noticed that this has not been working? No matter how peacefully Christians and those of other religions have lived with muslims, muslim terrorists still attack, torture, and murder them? It takes two (or all sides) to want peace for peace to be possible, not just one side.
And then the most foolish move of all; compromise, which is an abomination to God!
You can never compromise with false religion for peace! You must remain loyal to Jesus, even if there is no peace (as is most likely the case and what He foretold would be the case, they will persecute us).
This fool is just an all around idiot!
According to GOD:
“Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son can have the Father; whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.” 1 John 2; 22-24

Hey, Habibi! You don’t beleieve that Jesus is God’s begotten Son; here’s your answer from “The Bible: .
Matthew 3:16-17 (New King James Version)
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Are you going to argue with God?
Then you say one of the daftest things: Assuming someone has never committed a sin …….
Name one person who has never committed a sin ……… !
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Buraq, how did God beget Jesus? That spirit who looked like dove was exactly the Satan. Prophet Jesus never taught that nonsense in Mathew 3:16-17,it was imported from Roman paganism of mithraism of old. See Bart Erhman’s works “The forgeries “.

Well, he is a politician and they helped him win his seat. The question is: From where did the money come? From the people of the church who depend on him for spiritual guidance? Did it come from his salary he gets from the government/ Either way, it comes from the people in the community.
Communities are in danger when there are enough moslims to be in “need” of a barrracks.
The “true” Christians in the community are not safe. He has not helped them with this “donation.” And they are not safe spiritually either as he is misleading them with his stupid remarks regarding Who is worshipped by moslims. One has to wonder just what other nonsense he teaches them.
And the fact that he says they worship the same God as Christians, means he may as well call himself a moslim, because Christian he isn’t. He’s sitting at the table with demons. Christians don’t do that.
somehistory says
And lest anyone claim that this is “judging,’ we are commanded by Christ to look at the “fruit” a person produces and see for ourselves who is and who is not producing good fruit. Or if the fruit produced is “rotten.” Lying is “rotten fruit,” and this man has lied to cover up giving gifts to those who voted for him or he hopes will vote for him.
The judging we are not to do is to say whether that person is condemned to death as having committed the sin that is not forgiven. That is not for a human to do.

Christian pastor donates money for completion of new mosque
What a kindhearted man, kinda like a fool trying to feed a hungry bear up close and personal. Jesus wouldn’t have supported pagan idolatry, he overturned the money changers as a sin against god:
My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”
Islamic doctrine is like a den of thieves, robbing innocents of their lives and heads, of their human rights, freedoms, and peace. Christ would never have supported a doctrine that portrayed god as a bigoted killer as islam does. If this pastor wants to help muslims then wouldn’t it be better to help those hurt by islam’s tyrannical assault on human rights? help the girls raped in forced marriages, support women in islamic nations fighting for equal rights, help victims of acid in the face or FGM, fight against honor killings… do something to help the victims of islam’s doctrinal bigotry and hate, don’t waste your good intentions on promoting its spread and ill effects. This is so much like that immigrant activist, Sophia Lösche, who was murdered by a muslim immigrant. They might have a good heart, but their actions are dangerously misguided and inexcusable. They are recklessly endangering the lives and security of everyone else by supporting a doctrine that is blatantly evil and dangerous in its content and purpose. If this particular mosque turned out to be a serious promoter of, or cause of, terrorism then I would see this man as morally and perhaps criminally culpable for his aid given. Jesus may have wanted us to forgive him for his error, but I really doubt he would have said to ignore him without reproach. If these folks are ignorant then we gotta learn them. If they’re smart and know what they’re doing then they should be surveilled, for they are surely a risk to the safety and peace of any nation.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22
Pastor, that is not the same god that said, “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” There is so much good you can do by supporting your own Christian god of love, please don’t waste your efforts on one that’s no better than a hateful, murderous thug.

Jamie Glazov recently provided JW with an article about the psychological motivations behind some of these “immigrant activists” and “lefties” in general. The article went into a little more depth than you usually see and I plan to keep it for future reference:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/06/why-a-refugees-welcome-activist-was-murdered-by-a-muslim-migrant
Japetto Danatelli says
Thanks, I read it already, it’s powerfully insightful. I think it explains the underlying motive for much of the religious conviction we see in society, where people sort of “lose themselves” in their faith, for better or worse. Such people are not typically happy with just shuffling through life being an ethical, hard working person. They want to feel bigger than themselves, important, and have a sense of purpose, and their “cause” or religion becomes the means of achieving this end. It’s not surprising that this kind of dedication will produce folks whose convictions include helping those who’d rather see them dead. In their minds sensible thinking is far less important than living their ideals to the fullest, even if it means going to their own doom. It’s fanaticism, I guess. I believe at least some jihadists are fanatical in the same way, fighting or martyring for their “religion” is the gateway to self-aggrandisement and emotional fulfillment. Islam is a magnet for losers like this, it’s an opportunity to live out their desire for self-destroying hate and violence while achieving greatness for “god.” (Which is nothing but a delusion because allah is not god but a demon invented by a fool)
I think Jamie’s line of reasoning helps explain why the West is currently experiencing this hard core mental illness for islam. The leftist appeasers and apologists have created a religion out of multiculturalism and diversity, it’s their undying cause. The left tries to maintain a self-image as the champions of human togetherness and love where all humanity lives together in multicultural bliss, with them running the show, of course. To JW fans their behavior seems rather insane, we don’t want to martyr ourselves for some sick, immoral 7th century cult or the people who live it. But hey, those leftist folks got a bigger-than-life mission, they are going to build a multicultural society even if it kills us. And of course, it will.

Carol the 1st says
JM…I noticed a HINDUSLAM version in the works in PBS’s “The Story of India” with Michael Wood. There’s a chapter on “The Meeting of Two Oceans”. It’s about the Moghul Empire (it began with predation of course (Sultan Mahmoud) under the guise of religious excuses blah, blah,…but then the storyline leads to great info on Emperor Akbar [50 yr. reign & seemed genuinely progressive – he even received a complimentary letter from Elizabeth I]; followed by his son Jahangir and then grandson Shah Jahan [his Taj Mahal was designed upon a Sufi plan for entering Heaven]. This was followed by a civil war between Jahan’s two sons Dari (the eldest and a progressive like his great grandfather Akbar). and Aurangzeb [a Fundamentalist who deeply hated the attempts to mix Islam/Sufism/Hinduism]). Dari is captured by Aurangzeb who decides to test public opinion and when he finds everyone crying over Dari he promptly beheads him (in true Islamic form) and has the head sent to their imprisoned father Jahan (who collapses in grief and thus breaks his front teeth).
Near the end of the chapter we hear the moderator, Woods, telling us “The quest of HINDU-MUSLIM UNITY has never been abandoned…in a few decades they created a civilizational wonderland here in India – a kind of INDO-ISLAMIC SYNTHESIS”. He’s speaking with Imam Tariq Bukhari (of Jama Masjid, Delhi) who informs us all that “religions are all the same, the teachings are all the same, and it’s the MISINTERPRETATION that takes the ‘brotherhood’ apart…whether it’s Hindu, or Muslim, or Sikh, or Christian, if that person follows his religion CORRECTLY – so I don’t think there will be any problem – because you are doing, you will do CORRECT!” He goes on to innocently say “India is so DIVERSIFIED as far as religions are concerned, as far as the cultures are concerned, as far as the languages are concerned.” [which we can guess is surely what makes them cooperate and coexist – for now].
The imam tries to look satisfied with this purported Islamo-Hindu near-heaven (but Jihad Watchers will undoubtedly predict the swing increasingly toward wise old Islam given time). This tiger will NEVER change its stripes and so this India “model” is surely how they would plan to proceed with us e.g. CHRISLAM.
