Subject: Islamic View of Crucifixion? |
Bible Note: Colin I have shared Jesus with many Muslims and had the privilege of seeing a few come to the Lord. My heart is for everyone of them to come to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. But I don’t see how soft selling Islam is the answer. Today our prisons are methodically being converted to Islam, many inter city after school care centers are actively being used by Muslims to enlist young children into Islam. Islam is being painted as a peaceful, gentle religion that places no requirement on it’s adherent other than living in peaceful healthy life aside from the morally corrupt lifestyle of present day America. We both know this is totally and completely wrong, young children are being indoctrinated that to sacrifice their lives brings the reward of eternal bliss. That Allah demands they be willing to die for his cause. That Israel and the Jews have stolen their land and are forcing them into exile. That the west lead by the US are supporting this policy of oppression and therefore is an enemy. All of this is of course untrue, the land which is now Israel was basically unwanted by anyone prior to the beginning resettlement of Israel in 1919. The land which is now called Israel was given to Abraham by God himself with the pledge it would always be in Jewish hands. The dome of the rock was very minor monument of Islam being in almost total disrepair until it became an object of political discussion. Once again the problem is not our perception of Islam if we view it for what it really is. The problem is the Islam itself is poisoning the hearts and minds of it’s adherents against anything that is not Islam. We have to call Islam for what it is, a hateful, belligerent philosophy intent on stamping out anything that opposes it. Am I forwarding the idea we should go bomb Islam out of existence? No! But I am saying we need to understand and be fully aware of what Islam is. Islam if it had the capability would not think twice to bomb all non Islamic people out of existence. You said not all Muslims are ready to kill for Allah. However according to the Koran to be a true Muslim the opposite must be true. Any Muslim that is not willing to die for Allah or to kill for Allah is not a true follower they are to much of this world and will not receive the rewards of a true adherent to Islam. EdB |
