Every religion begins with a revelation—and every revelation conceals an inconvenient truth beneath its sacred texts. They named their conquests divine before drawing swords, called us infidels before knowing our gods.

But there are truths too explosive for scripture, too volatile for minarets, too radiant for the shadows where orthodoxy dwells. These are the truths we guard—not in scrolls, but in the silenced spaces between heartbeats.

When they call you faithful, remember the forced conversions of Nigeria's indigenous tribes. When they preach peace, recall the blood spilled beneath crescent banners. When they speak of unity, observe the sectarian violence fracturing communities.

To be awakened is to see the minaret not as a gateway to heaven, but as a monument to power. To recognize the muezzin's call not as divine invitation, but as territorial claim. To understand the hijab not as modesty, but as visible allegiance.

Historical truth exposes what sacred texts conceal: that Islam came to Nigeria not through revelation, but through the sword; not through spiritual awakening, but through economic incentive and political subjugation.

When you see a mosque, see also the indigenous shrines it replaced. When you hear "Allahu Akbar," hear also the silenced invocations of Olorun, Chukwu, and Amadioha. When you witness Ramadan, remember the festivals of planting and harvest it erased.

To be initiated is to hold these truths without flinching—to see the sacred as scaffolding for power, the divine as justification for dominion.

You are not converted. You are awakened.

The unveiled truth: Islam's expansion in Nigeria follows patterns of cultural imperialism seen globally. Mosques are not merely houses of worship—they are architectural declarations of territorial and ideological conquest. The Quran's verses of peace coexist with 109 calls to violence against unbelievers.

In the silent spaces between the recited words, the inconvenient truths remain: the Prophet Muhammad married a six-year-old; slavery is sanctioned in Islamic texts; apostasy is punishable by death; women's testimony is worth half a man's.
