Subject: Denounce militant Islam? |
Bible Note: Norrie I think your generalizing a bit too much here. I don't think we can say all Muslims are terrorist. I think we can say Islam is a religion that supports terrorism and that every Muslim has the potential to become a terrorist. Many will argue that Islam is peaceful and no different that Christianity. They say look Christians kill, they then use the example of men that have killed abortion doctors. That is true but those murders repulsed the Christian community and Christians everywhere called for their capture, trial and if guilty their conviction and execution. However when a terrorist bomb goes off do we see Islamic clerics denouncing the act? No. Do we see other Muslims alerting the police to these cowards whereabouts, do we see the Islamic clerics encouraging the people to bring these people to justice? No! That is the difference between Christianity and Islam. Christianity calls sin, sin, murder, murder, and terrorist the scourge of the this earth. Islam stays silent and in many cases justifies it.
