Are there any Christian missionaries in Syria today?

There probably are a few Christian missionaries, but the Syrian Civil War is hindering their access to the population and large swathes of Syria are under control of ISIL which imposes Shari'a Law and murders missionaries. Historically, Syria was a Secular country with a Pro-Muslim bent. Missionaries would be heckled and possibly physically attacked. Additionally, proselytization of Muslims (to convert them to another religion like Christianity) was illegal and could lead to the imprisonment or deportation of foreign missionaries.

Did the Prophet Mohammed have angelic visits during which he recorded the Quran or did he learn the biblical texts from Christian missionaries?

The Prophet Muhammad no doubt met Christian missionaries, and it is known that he discussed religion with Jewish Arabs. His own cousin was a Christian. However, Muslims believe that the angel Gabriel brought Muhammad the Quran, a piece at a time. Whether to believe that Muhammad received the Quran from his angelic messenger is a matter of faith.


When did Islam come to Uganda?

A:Evidence of Islam in Uganda dates back at least to 1844 and possibly to 1830. The arrival of Christian missionaries after 1875 hindered the success of the Muslim missionaries.In 1884, Mwanga became king of Buganda, the dominant tribe in what is now Uganda and, although instructed in Christianity as a child, favoured the Muslims because they were more tolerant of his homosexuality than were the Christian missionaries. Mwanga's younger brother and successor refused to be circumcised, as required by the Muslims, and he was replaced by yet another brother.A revolt by the Christian population saw Mwanga restored to the throne and he, of course, gave his allegiance to the Christian missionaries in spite of their opposition to sodomy. Muslims now represent around 12 per cent of the Ugandan population.

Who are the missionary who visit are country?

I don't know what country you are in, but most missionaries are either Christian or Muslim. There are Christians of all kinds-- Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Baptists, etc-- who send their members to various countries. Muslims have also sent out people to teach about Islam and spread the Muslim faith to other countries. Missionaries usually are there to teach you about their religion, in the hope that you will convert to it. Some missionaries also set up houses of worship (whether churches or mosques), so that you will have a place to practice your new faith. Missionaries believe that they are supposed to spread their faith; for example, Christian missionaries believe Jesus himself instructed them to do so. Most missionaries sincerely believe their religion is the only one that has the truth, so they want to share it with those who may not know much about it. Some religions do not send out missionaries. There are very few Buddhist missionaries these days (although there were some in the generation after the Buddha died; those missionaries spread Buddhism to a number of Asian countries). And Jews do not send out missionaries at all, because Jews do not believe they have the only true religion, nor do they believe they are supposed to actively try to convert people. As with Buddhism, centuries ago, some Jews did send out people to teach about Judaism, but this is not a part of modern Jewish practice. (People can and do convert to religions like Buddhism and Judaism. But these faiths do not have an organized group of people who go out to persuade you to join their religion.) Thus, given that the majority of today's missionaries are Christian or Muslim, the chances are good that the missionaries you met were from some denomination of Christianity, or possibly from Islam.
