Muslims, Protect Our Children

Christian Missionaries in Indonesia

Qonita - Indonesia

There's a true story that I heard from my father years ago. A story about an ordinary muslim family in Indramayu West Java Indonesia who had a teenager son. Once a week this young man asked permission from his parents to go for practising badminton somewhere and the parents had no objection to this. Allah willed, this boy did not live long. He was sick and died young. And of course the grieving family then prepared everything for the funeral in the Islamic way.  But... all of sudden there came a group of people, introducing themselves as members of a Christian church. They told the clueless parents that the young boy had converted to Christianity and had become the church member for months. And they would take the body of the young man to be buried according to their way. At first the family would not believe this claim of course, but it turned out to be true. Unknowingly to the family, their son went to the church every Sunday when he told them he went to play badminton. The shocked and heart-broken father fainted when they took the body of his son away.

This is not an isolated case in Indonesia. The Sabili magazine published another true story. This happened to a father in Rawamangun Jakarta. The father was active in a masjid, but he too, had to face the shocking reality when he found out that his young daughter had converted to Christianity. According to Sabili, the father said that the Christians sow the seed of doubt in his daughter's mind about the Qur'an.

Another story happened in another small town in West Java. To this small town came a white man, and he disguised as an English teacher. He did not just teach children and youth English, but he become their friend and he made himself available for them even to hear their problems etc. And slowly he preached them a strange teaching.... It was proved later that this man was indeed a Christian missionaries. Local people found some document mentioning Joshua Project 2000. Apparently they made the Sunda ethnic group in West Java --the ethnic group I belong to-- as a main target for their mission. Indeed the Sunda (Sundanese) is among the largest ethnic group in the world that the Christians found it difficult to convert.

My point in writing all this is that muslims should protect their children from becoming prey of Christian missionaries. They will do everything in their mission including using deception. They are targeting muslims who are weak, poor and vulnerable, and that's including muslim children and youth. My cousin one day was shocked because she found her little daughter singing the Christian song, praising Lord Jesus etc. This little girl told her that it's a mother of her Christian friend who taught her and other children to sing the song when they played in their house! Of course my cousin then forbid her little daughter to play there again.

Muslims, it is our duty to protect our children from the hellfire.

And see, the danger of apostasy also come from the internet. I have read some testimony of those who leaving islam on some website. As a muslim you can distinguish the real testimonies from the fake ones. I found out that some reason for their leaving Islam come from what they read on the internet. I can mention two anti-islam site, but we can see too, that the Christian missionaries also hijack some Islamic website for their mission to convert muslims. In fact, some islamic discussion forum is more harmful than beneficial to the aqeedah of young muslims.  Maybe its just a matter of time before we read another testimony of those who leave Islam because of  what they read in an islamic discussion forum! Na'udhu billah
So muslims, beware. Don't be negligent. Protect young muslims from them.

For further reading about Christian missionaries please read this two links. You see how they are well-trained for the mission and how their goal is "to wipe out Islam."
