I read in other site that some Churches were involved in the killing. Is that true ? What was the reason ?
Emmanuel Rukundo and another Catholic priest were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR) for their involvement in the 100 day slaughter of about 800,000 Rwandan Tutsis at the hands of the Hutu malitia. Rukundo, a Hutu extremist who called for the extermination of the Tutsis, was involved in the abduction and murder of people who sought sanctuary at the St. Leon Minor Seminary in Giterama by informing on them. He betrayed his Tutsi parishioners by giving their names and addresses to the Interahamwe malitia so that they would be arrested and executed. I can’t imagine how many Catholics had left the Church or abandoned their Christian faith altogether after this harrowing ordeal. However, a score of priests, nuns, and seminarians lost their lives trying to protect the Tutsi refugees.

Rukundo - not the Church - is on trial.

Islam Attracting Many Survivors of Rwanda Genocide

Jihad Is Taught as ‘Struggle to Heal’

…"I know people in America think Muslims are

terrorists, but for Rwandans they were our freedom fighters during the genocide," said Jean Pierre

Sagahutu, 37, a Tutsi who converted to Islam from Catholicism after his father and nine other members of

his family were slaughtered. “I wanted to hide in a church, but that was the worst place to go. Instead, a Muslim family took me. They saved my life.”

Sagahutu said his father had worked at a hospital

where he was friendly with a Muslim family. They took Sagahutu in, even though they were Hutus. “I watched them pray five times a day. I ate with them and I saw how they lived,” he said. "When they pray, Hutu and

Tutsi are in the same mosque. There is no difference.

I needed to see that."

…“If it weren’t for the Muslims, my whole family would be dead,” said Aisha Uwimbabazi, 27, a convert and mother of two children. "I was very, very thankful for Muslim people during the genocide. I thought about it

and I really felt it was right to change."

6 Million Muslims LEAVE Islam every year!!!

Islam used to represent, as you previously mentioned, Africa?s main religion and there were 30 African languages that used to be written in Arabic script. The number of Muslims in Africa has diminished to 316 million, half of whom are Arabs in North Africa. So in the section of Africa that we are talking about, the non Arab section, the number of Muslims does not exceed 150 million people. When we realize that the entire population of Africa is one billion people, we see that the number of Muslims has diminished greatly from what it was in the beginning of the last century. **On the other hand, the number of Catholics has increased from one million in 1902 to 329 million 882 thousand (329,882,000). Let us round off that number to 330 million in the year 2000. **

**As to how that happened, well there are now 1.5 million churches whose congregations account for 46 million people. In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity. These numbers are very large indeed ?.. **

I thought the article said something interesting about Muslims in Africa, and about Islam in Rwanda.

I wonder why a single article about people embracing Islam led to Catholics being so defensive about conversions?

Perhaps the article had something to do with Islamic pride and da’wah? Albeit, if the Rwandans found a faith they are comfortable with, good for them.

I was just counterbalancing the article, putting it into perspective so to speak.
 
soooooo, why exactly are you on a catholic forums website with propaganda for Islam and promoting the religion yourself??? If you like it so much then go to your own site.🤷
This post is not a good post.This remark is rude to Sister Amy.No one should use such rude language to others.
 
Hi Morning Star! Glad you’re back!

Vickie 👋
Thank you vickie:).But I was there,Just do not post often because I think All discussion with Muslims will be useless because you saw that they always play their broken records repeatedly,like there are no place of violence in Islam,or islam is the sign of peace etc etc;).And if we want to prove that Islam teaches violence or murder then either they(Muslims) stop responding or some body start taking revenge by abusing Lord jesus and mother mary.Anyway Vickie,May Our lord Jesus always be with you.:amen:

Rwandans converted into Islam in large numbers. Its good article about Islam.
 
**We left Islam - Who we are: **

We are ex-Muslims. Some of us were born and raised in Islam and some of us had converted to Islam at some moment in our lives. We were taught never to question the truth of Islam and to believe in Allah and his messenger with blind faith.

We were told that Allah would forgive all sins but the sin of disbelief (Quran 4:48 and 4:116).

But we committed the ultimate sin of thinking and questioned the belief that was imposed on us and we came to realize that far from being a religion of truth, Islam is a hoax, it is hallucination of a sick mind and nothing but lies and deceits.

**What we believe: **

Some of us have embraced other religions but most of us have simply left Islam without believing in any other religion. We believe in humanity. We believe that humans do not need to follow a religion to be good. All we need to follow is the Golden Rule.

All we have to do is to treat others the way we expect to be treated. This is the essence of all the goodness. All good religious teachings stem from this eternal principle. This is the ultimate guidance humanity need. This is the Golden Rule.

Why Mohammed was not a prophet:

One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin.

One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather.

He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their “right hand possessions” (Quran 33:50)

He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin.

He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth.

His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.

Why Quran is not from God:

Muhammad produced no miracles and when pressed he claimed that his miracle is the Quran. Yet a cursory look at the Quran reveals that this book is full of errors.

Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. It is badly compiled and it contradicts itself.

There is nothing intelligent in this book let alone miraculous. Muhammad challenged people to produce a “Surah like it” or find an error therein, yet Muslims would kill anyone who dares to criticize it. In such a climate of hypocrisy and violence truth is the first casualty.

**jakasaki, thanks for introducing yourself fully well. You were a non-Muslim some time (as per your own story) You people had been non-Muslims. Then you became a Muslim. (It is only an example that I am presenting, not necessarily you.).

Then some time you found that you made a major mistake. So you went back to your old faith, whatever, may be the christian faith. Well and good. You came back home after long time. Your story had been told by Jesus to his friends as follows: Mathew ch.12

Matthew 12:43-45 (New International Version)

43"When an evil[a] spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
44Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.
45Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."**

You have now got seven other spirits with you more wicked than yourself. Please consider all that. We are not sleeping. We have read all your abuse of Islam. You may never have been any Muslim but your attack on islam was quite unlike Jesus or true christianity. If what you have written is Christianity then to hell with that religion. What do you say? You have returned to your home and found some more seven other spirits more wicked than yourself.

Don’t be upset with what I have written about you (or some one like you). You deserve that kind of reply after what you said about our Messenger /Prophet of God and what you said about our religion. You have no good faith in anything, No Jesus for you. I doubt that you are a christian…
