421 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | Norrie | 131459 | ||
Why are Christians so scared to denounce militant Islam? I received a commentary about Islam needing denouncing, esp by Muslims if they think what the militants do is wrong and received varying responses but usually went like this: Islam must be fought, not with weapons of war, but with the weapons of righteousness that we carry in the right hand and the left. Love thy enemy. Feed him, and bring burning coals upon his head. These people are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. *** If these people are slamming planes into bldgs, killing innocents children, etc, we are supposed to love and feed them instead of going to war against them? I don't seriously think saying I love you, Jesus loves you, let's share a hotdog is going to stop the killings, which is what must be stopped. We're not talking individual reachout, this is more on widespread govt basis. What am I missing here??? |

Those scriptures are on a personal level tho, not country vs country or militant groups, correct? How can you apply those verse to the WTC or that Russian school? It's impossible on that level... | ||||||

This was the daily devotional for today too. Would you say this addresses this too? This may come as a surprise to you, but because you are a Christian doesn't mean you have to love everything. Now, we hear that Christians are to be people of love, and that is true. But did you know that if you're a Christian, not only must you learn to love, but you must also learn to hate? If you love God, then you are to hate what God hates. It is true in every realm. If you love flowers, you hate weeds. If you love health, you hate germs. If you love God, you hate evil. It is just that plain. Romans 12:9b tells us in stronger terms to "abhor that which is evil." A hypocrite, which is something none of us want to be, is someone who says he loves God, but then he doesn't hate sin. Don't tell others you love God if you don't hate that which nailed Him to the cross. "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; He perserveth the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked." Psalm 97:10 |

I would think liberating Iraq and trying to help them is showing love but still, the militants must be stopped... | ||||||

Last night I was trying to explain to my daughter what it meant to be a Democrat, actually they aren't too different from terrorists...:( They'll hold humans up forever to protect an endangered species, they'll take money from everybody they can except themselves to spread the wealth, don't even think about the death penalty for that murderer but lets rip that baby out! Maybe we need enlightenment here too. :( I understand that when you meet people one on one that you should be nice, but as a group, I can't help but denounce people who go against everything our God stands for. I'll reprint the article that started all the contention. Basically the man was saying too that if there are "good" Muslims, then they should stand up to the militants and condemn their actions. After all, in the Bible, when we don't condemn, it's the same as condoning. Rom 1:32 |

Here's that article: The Chairman’s Report By Carter L. Clews September 6, 2004 Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Islam… Islam… Islam… Islam… Islam… Islam is the single greatest threat to peace, freedom, and human life in the world today, and maybe even in our entire history; not “radical Islam,” not “hijacked Islam,” not “Islam perverted by a handful of fanatics”... Islam... period. There, I’ve said it – and I’m glad I did, because somebody has to. Either the Moslem world has to eschew the monsters who are wreaking such havoc in its name – or it has to sincerely question the basic tenants of a religion that would spawn such demon seed. There is no middle ground. Anyone who doubts that contention need only ask the grieving parents of the little children slain in the latest Islamic assault upon innocent victims. The sight of the bodies of those stripped, tortured, and slaughtered school children being carried from the carnage is enough to make any normal human sick. But it only excites the libidos and wets the appetites of the venal – and venerated -- apostles of Islam. John Kerry’s "limp-wristed", “Let’s fight a more sensitive war” statement can never apply in this war on terror because, Islam is not – repeat not – the religion of love. Maybe the Koran is actually a masterpiece of "make nice" -- And maybe Mohammed was the walking embodiment of "warm and fuzzy" -- But today’s Islam – the Islam that brutally slaughters all who dare disagree with one jot of its abhorrent teachings – is most certainly not the religion of love. Now, I can already hear the liberals whining about “bigotry,” “stereotyping,” and “sensitivity training.” Well, tell it to the Marines. And when you do, ask them how it feels to see crazed Moslems blow up buses full of innocent commuters – or gun down unarmed construction workers and hang their burned bodies from bridge abutments -- while the Mullahs and the masses cheer them on. The fact is, until the world’s practicing Moslems take to the streets to openly and angrily condemn their fellow "crazoids", they bear the blame and deserve the shame for the Islamic slaughters in Russia, Iraq, Iran, the Philippines, Indonesia, Israel, Spain, New York City -- and everywhere else today’s Islam rears its savage, brutal, bloodthirsty head. Let me be even more specific (and see if I can cause some liberal apoplexy). As far as the average observer can tell (folks like you and me), there are only four types of Moslems in today’s world: terrorists, those who incite terrorists, those who condone terrorists -- and that little tiny minority who on the very rarest of outrageous occasions meekly pipes up in muted protest. That, part and parcel, warp and woof, heart and soul is the only Islamic “look of love” the vast majority of us ever see. And it makes us sick. And so, we have to wonder, whose fault is that? Mine for noticing -- Yours for agreeing -- Or is it the fault of the world’s veiled and voiceless Moslems who won’t stand up and stop the slaughter? I think we all know the answer to that one. But, just in case you don’t (and to silence the liberals I can already hear hissing “racist” – or whatever other term they have for those who insist upon telling inconvenient, incontrovertible truths), let me tell you a little story from my own family history… In the 1930s, when Al Capone, Frank Nitti, and their band of bloody Italian terrorists threatened to rip the fabric of American society, they sent an emissary to see my immigrant grandfather, one Vincenzo Marciano of Washington’s Italian ghetto. The Black Hand’s hit man advised Granddad that he and his neighbors needed to set aside some of their hard-earned money each week to buy a little protection from the "Americanos" who were trying to take what they had. Well, Granddad asked for a little time to talk with his neighbors. He did so. And when the putrid punk returned, he told him, “You are a disgrace to our people and to all who struggled to come to this wonderful land. Here is the message for you to take to your capos: If you ever come here again, we will mail you back in little pieces. And if they come seeking revenge, we will hang them from the lamp posts. Now, leave while you still can.” In short, the only people who could truly fight Italian terrorism in the 1930s were the very people who did. And as the grandson of one who stood tall then, I don’t think it’s too much for me to ask the world’s Moslems to stand tall now. If they don’t, then, let’s start again at the top line -- until they get the bottom line: Islam is the single greatest threat to peace, freedom, and human life in the world today. And maybe even in our entire history. Now, put that in your "hubble bubble pipe" and smoke it, Akbar. And call us back when your get a clear head -- and heart. Carter Clews |

Seeing as how as far as I know, I don't even know a Muslim personally, I know one guy who may be and I'm nice to him, their actions as a whole should be denounced by all that are good. They are behind every terrorist action anywhere in the world today. God still hates sin and they are still the embodiment of it. Like I say, I don't know any personally that I know of and the one who might be, I'm nice to, but their actions need denouncing, esp by the "good" Muslims or else how can anyone know that they don't agree with them??? What I get out of Romans 1:32 is if you don't denounce, you condone and are just as guilty as the one committing the action. Did I put my love devotional on another thread? It needs to be here too. |

Ed, You better keep a close eye on Ivan, he might just be the one to take down Disnetworld! Of course he might take us out instead too but stay alert! You're right tho, people are ignorant. If nobody takes the time to find out what exactly the problems are, how can they be solved? All we hear is Islam is a peaceful religion when they are "pieceful", want a piece of everybody...people don't seem to know or care what they are up to and are so intent on being politically correct, guess when they are handed their head, they'll figure it out. :( Norrie |

Well, duh, you hate all evil period. But the Muslims are the ones causing MOST of the widespread terror all over the globe now. That doesn't make the schoolyard bully or the drug gangs better, just their terror is localized, not globalized. It's like the homosexual, their sin is not worse than any other, it's just they are trying to get their sin condoned and put on a pedestal and make it a crime to say they are sinning. The Muslims are taking over the world or can anyone not see that? They kill people who don't convert, you have no choice...you can love them to death-yours. In the OT God sanctioned many slaughters of peoples to stop the spread of evil. Was God wrong??? |

"Just because one is a follower of Islam, does not make him/her also a terrorist; but it does mean that he/she is separated from God." Accd to all I've read about Islam, that is the basic idea behind their religion so just because they don't all practice terrorism, they subscribe to a religion that that is their base. I've seen many debates on many forums and many quotes from Koran saying to kill infidels and that's us...oh, we'll go to Heaven if they suceed so do us a favor, but what about all the others they will kill that aren't Christians? So many people are buying into the peaceful Muslim idea that have no idea that they are just out to kill then eventually too, not just Christians, anybody who doesn't accept Allah. They have spread out to where they are everywhere. England is now pretty much under their control by allowing peaceful Muslims to get in and we're following suit. We really need to open our eyes where they are concerned. A friend from England was telling me about some of the things going on there from first hand experience, not what's said in news... |

Yep, we (general) can't even recognize sin so how are we going to denounce it when kids are being taught relativity and no moral absolutes in school, then they grow up and have kids...even many Christians don't understand sin. Sometimes I wonder exactly who Jesus will be coming back to get as His bride-I think poor Jesus! | ||||||

I would think that the fanatical so called Christians who kill abortion doctors are just "so called" christians but they are what gives Christians a bad name, so is that Phelps bunch. There is a right way and a wrong way of going about things. The "wrong way" people who aren't denounced by the "right way" people are being seen as condoned regardless of what crime they are committing if they don't call wrong (sin) wrong. There is a right way and wrong way of doing things. | ||||||

If we avoid politics, then the devil wins for sure. We can't keep our heads in the sand. We have to know the issues and VOTE for the person w/the most Godly principles. Country Girl just gave an Edmund Burke quote that says it all. If we do nothing, Satan automatically wins. God gives us goverments, we ought to make sure they stay Godly. Christians were silent and prayer was taken out of schools, Christians were silent and abortion became legal, now homosexuals want to marry, are we going to keep letting Satan run rampant??? If we don't exercise our right to vote and get out and vote someone in who will stand up for Godly principles, we deserve what we get. Sure, we pray but we act too. Faith w/o actions is dead... |

In case you missed it: I'm sure you've heard the expression: "All it takes for evil to succeed is for the good, moral folks in the world to remain silent." The devil will do the rest. |

A friend wrote this on another forum and he's not the only one who thinks this. I have several friends who've done extensive study and come to same conclusions: After attending several classes on Islam at my Church on Wednesday nights, I have come to the following conclusion: The terroristic enemy of the USA is the Islamic religion itself, not just isolated pockets of radical extremists. All Muslems are radical, terroristic extremists, according to several religious scholars. Some of these scholars have been studying Islamic culture for many years, and know what they are talking about. |
