Musa Bangura

• Musa Bangura, a 45-years old Christian

missionary from Sierra Leone, who travelled to
different places in Africa telling people about
Christianity and Jesus Christ has adopted
Islam.
• Muslims make up around 60 percent of Sierra
Leone’s 5.5m population, Christians 30 percent and
Animists constitute the rest. Compared to the
Christian community Muslims have worse living
conditions and face widespread missionary
propaganda as in other African countries. That is
why Bangura decided to promulgate Islam after
becoming a Muslim. He says as a priest he was
trained particularly to convert Muslims to
Christianity.
• Bangura asserts that converting people to Christianity
is not the only goal missionary organizations pursue
in Sierra Leone and adds that the primary objective of
all missionary activities in Africa is to wipe out Islam.
• Christian missionaries are able to easily influence
impoverished people using their financial resources,
Bangura noted, adding that poverty has such
devastating impact on the Muslim youth that it has
the potential to misguide them and they were
fighting against it.
• "For many years, I tried to persuade Muslims in my
country to adopt Christianity, then I had a dream in
which I was invited to adopt Islam," he said, adding he
had the same dream three times one after another.
• Abandoned by his wife and his family after he decided to
become a Muslim, Musa Bangura is now calling on
people to choose Islam.

• Pointing out all his possessions were seized after his

convert to Islam, he stressed that Islam was what really
mattered for him.
• Bangura provides material and spiritual support as
well as religious education to people who have
chosen Islam like himself under the umbrella of
WHY ISLAM organization he set up.
• He attaches great significance to promulgation and
information efforts and to this end he debates
Christian scholars (on issues such as the trinity,
baptism, etc.) on radio and televisions programs as
well as at events that bring together Christian and
Muslim communities, delivers talks and sermons.
• He stated that the first thing he did after
adopting Islam was to make more research
on Islam and said, "I revealed
the contradictions in Christianity which
resulted in my discussions with Christian
priests. I proved them that Islam is the real
religion."
• Bangura said he set up a web site named 'Why
Islam' through which he told people why Islam
is the real religion and
revealed the contradictions in Christianity.
Until now, over 8,000 people has adopted
Islam thanks to the website, he said. "I now
work for the Christians in my county and try to
help them realise the truth and choose Islam."

whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to
his Lord!
