CHRISTIAN GIRL HAS MUSLIM MAN FORCED ON HER
Posted on April 8, 2006
Here is the latest outrage from the so called “religion of peace.”
April 4 (Compass Direct) – “If you are forcing me to marry a man who is a Muslim simply because of my decision to become a Christian, then I will rather have you kill me than accept to marry this man.”
These were the bitter words of Jamila Noma, now 16, to her father, Malam Noma, in an Islamic court two years ago in Jimeri village in Bauchi State of northern Nigeria.
The girl had been arrested by the police and brought before an Islamic court on the orders of her father when she became a Christian and rejected his decision to marry her off to Muslim man.
These two years have left her in an uncertain situation. The court has not decided the case, she has been disowned by her father and he has forced her out of the family home. She is staying with her lawyer, Suleiman Wurno.
Noma said that her father is a pagan, with a family made up of six wives and 16 children. She is the last of six children of her mother.
Noma first desired to become a Christian two years ago, after hearing the gospel preached in her village church. “The pastor in the church had preached to us repeatedly,” she recalled. “I knew that I was a sinner and decided that I wanted to become a Christian.”
Noma knew it would be difficult, though, as two of her brothers had faced hardship from their father when they decided to become Christians.
“Yohanna, one of my brothers, faced difficulties too when he became a Christian – he was disowned by our dad and sent out of the family home,” she said.
Her opportunity to make a decision came when she went to visit her maternal uncle, “Pastor Idi,” she recalled. “My uncle shared the gospel with me, and I knew that that was the moment I was waiting for, the moment to receive Christ as my Lord and Savior, and so, I prayed to receive Christ,” she said.
The story goes on to tell about how the man whom her father was trying to force her to marry, attempted to rape her several times, how her dad turned her into the police, how she was convicted under Sharia law, and her escape. Make sure to read the entire heart breaking story.
Religious liberty, and women’s rights are completely non-existent in the culture of Islam. Until this can be reconciled in the Muslim culture, world civilization can not take the next step forward, and Islam will continue to live in the dark ages. For all those “tolerant” dhimmi apologists out there, I’d love to hear where you stand on this one. But make sure you read some other good articles on similar topics first.

I don’t know how anyone could read this story and think the situation anything but tragic. These countries have a long way to go in terms of human rights.
The culture as a whole must be considered when you’re looking at problems like this. Sure, a lot of Muslim nations are behind most Christian nations, but instead of condemning them, we should be helping them.
Plus there are plenty of Muslim populations out there that are tolerant and progressive – here in the U.S. for example. Also Indonesia and India, which have the largest and second largest Muslim populations respectively, are both democracies with fairly good records of religious tolerance in recent years. (The Prez’s views on these two countries below.) I think all religions and cultures go through this stage, but with time, things only get better.

Yikes! I’m referencing a White House press release and the Washington Times! What’s the world coming to?
Most progressive Muslims are communist like Saddam. I tend to favor traditional Islam over communism.
Captain Rational, we may find common ground here. I’m against any dhimmism, it especially pisses me off when the President displays it.
Yes, we should be helping them, but we should also be condemning them.
As for “time making things better”, there isn’t much time for tolerance, especially when one fanatic nation is seeking nuclear ambitions to resolve its hatred.
Iran is making me pretty nervous, but I hope we’re not giving up on diplomacy just yet. It’s my hope that at the worst we’ll have a situation like the Cold War. I don’t think Iran’s leadership is dumb enough to use a nuke against us or Israel, but they have said and done some stupid things, so you can’t rule it out. If only the UN would get its act together and do its job. I’m a big fan of the idea of the UN, but not the UN as it stands today.
How about this…
Muslims emmigrate & conquer continental Europe. Christians moderate and spot-reduce Muslim offenses. The Europeon right escapes to North America, the Europeon left escapes to South America. Allied forces hold fast in Poland, Malta, Italy, Greece, Great Britain, and Israel as a buffer to make sure Islam doesn’t try to bite off more than it can chew.
Sound like a plan?
I guess most of you will be shocked about this kind of comment, but what do you know about Nigeria?
I have several friends who are Nigerian and spent most of their life there and immigrated to Austria at some point of their lives.
No matter whether they are christians of muslims there, it is not a matter of faith at all. If you are part of either side you have to be against the other.
To compare religion in a country like Nigeria with religion in western Europe or North America does not make any sense at all. I guess the majority of us who grew up in a society as we have it in Europe and North America would not ever be able to understand the social structure in a country like Nigeria.
There are many things taking place there that would shock about everyone living in the luxury or our societies, and I agree things need to change there, but they won’t change by making a father let his daugther marry who ever she wants to. There is a much greater change needed and those changes will take time. And if things change there for the better it might also have some effect to our lives, as the nigerian people want the standarts of our lives too, that is one of the reasons huntreds of them are leaving for Europe each year. It is mainly the men who have the chance to leave, but by now I know plenty of them who get their sisters, and cusins away from there too.
