America, Islam, and the Danger of Thinking Everything
is Alright
As of this writing the United Sates has won the war
in Iraq (4/12/03). After the September 11, 2001 attacks the U.S. uncovered that Al Qaeda
terrorists (a fanatical branch of Islam) were responsible based in Afghanistan. We went
there and took out the Taliban that supported and harbored the Al Qaeda terrorists. The
U.S. and our allies won that campaign and had Al Qaeda on the run.
Since then we have moved aggressively to Iraq. The case was made that Iraq
was not complying with the U.N. Then that they were not abiding by U.N. resolution 1441
stating, "it will face serious consequences" if it continues to violate its
obligations as spelled out in the resolution. Then we said Iraq has weapons of mass
destruction. Then we said this is a brutal regime and we need to set the Iraqi people
free. From then on its been they have WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and we need to set
the Iraqi people free.
America
Let me say right off I love and support my country. I do and always will
support our brave troops. I believe we are the best trained, best equipped, best informed
military in the world. Our intelligence services are the best ever. Our armed forces have
done and will continue, with the divine help of God Almighty, protect our nation and our
earthly freedom. I am a proud American and love my country very much. But often times we
get ourselves into things we should leave alone.
I need to make a clear prediction that is important for all of us to
understand. Listen carefully: The American Revolution was justified. The American
Civil War was justified (see http://www.kingshouse.org/civilwar.htm).
WW1 and WW2 were justified. The Korean War was questionable. The Vietnam War was
questionable. The Persian Gulf War #1 was justified. Afghanistan was justified. And the
war with Iraq was questionable. Having said all that, we need to know that this may well
be the beginning of WW4.
This idea is already coming out as the following shows.
"The loose-knit group, whose core includes Vice President Cheney,
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, sees the war in Iraq as
a model for the world's lone superpower. The group believes that with or without
international consensus, the United States should move with force to pre-empt security
threats and spread democracy and free-market economics to remaining pockets of
authoritarianism, primarily in the Middle East. While U.S. officials emphasize the
enormity of the tasks that need to be completed in Iraq, some administration supporters
already are proclaiming the birth of a new historical period and suggesting that regime
change in Iraq could be followed soon by Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. James
Woolsey, a member of a Pentagon advisory board and former CIA director who is close to
Wolfowitz, told students in Los Angeles last week that the Cold War was World War III and
the United States is now engaged in "World War IV" against Iran's religious
rulers, "fascists" in Iraq and Syria, and Islamic extremists." (USA TODAY,
4/10/03)
"We appear to be moving at last from the post-Cold War era ... to the
time of an enduring Pax Americana," says Thomas Donnelly, a resident fellow at the
conservative American Enterprise Institute. Borrowing a line from Secretary of State
Dean Acheson, an architect of the global realignment that followed World War II, Donnelly
says, "we are present at the creation" of a truly new world order. Even as
war continues in Iraq, Bush administration officials have made threatening
statements about other countries the White House considers as threats. John
Bolton, the hawkish undersecretary of State, told an AIPAC convention last week, that
"in the aftermath of Iraq, dealing with the Iranian nuclear weapons program will be
of equal importance as dealing with the North Korean nuclear weapons program."
Barbara Slavin, USA TODAY, 4/10/2003
"The focus now is Iraq, but there's a Big Picture feel to things.
Alliances shattering, new ones forming. International institutions in crisis. Millions
under arms in the Middle East, Asia, Europe -- fighting, or ready to. A nuclear standoff
on the Subcontinent. Terrorist networks spanning 60 nations. Hideous new technologies.
Ideological hatred. Already, thousands of Americans have been slaughtered. The president
warns that no nation harboring terrorists is safe, designates North Korea, Iran and Iraq
as members of an "axis of evil" that includes "at least a dozen
countries" with terrorist training camps and "their terrorist allies."
"We're at war," he declares, referring to more than Iraq as he advances a new
doctrine of military preemption to replace the old Cold War doctrines of containment and
deterrence. "Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike
any other we have ever seen." (The Fire This Time, To Some Scholars, Iraq's Just Part
of Something Bigger, By Phil McCombs, Washington Post Staff Writer, Sunday, April 13,
2003; Page F01)
"World War IV might be in the making," warns Dennis K. McBride,
president of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, a technological think tank that
does a lot of federal defense work. "We do not have to assume that a world war
necessarily includes mobilization of millions of troops, exchange of millions of tons of
explosives. . . . World War IV may end this way [but] it certainly might not germinate
this way."
"President Bush made news with his idea of an "Axis of
Evil," including North Korea, ruled by "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il, above; a
Palestinian militant with a grenade and headband reading "Muhammad the prophet of
Allah" illustrates the crisis of the Muslim world as fundamentalists struggle for
control." (Kevin Clark -- The Washington Post)
"Too wild? Maybe, yet some thought Saddam Hussein was behind the
post-9/11 anthrax attacks, and you can't help but notice that the killer virus SARS began
its rampage as the United States was invading Iraq."
"Cohen's ideas pack a wallop. President Bush read his book
"Supreme Command: Soldiers, Statesmen, and Leadership in Wartime" while on
vacation last summer. It tells how Lincoln, Clemenceau, Ben-Gurion and Churchill stuck to
the big picture, overriding timid generals… The thinking of strategists like these,
it's said, drives the Bush administration's global planning."
"I'm more worried about American culture," says Victor Davis
Hanson, who teaches military history at the U.S. Naval Academy. World War IV may come, he
says, but right now, "I'm worried about the rise of radical pacificism among a bored,
pampered elite." (quotes from the Washington Post, Sunday 4/13/03)
This is something to think about. What if we went from nation to nation
using the idea of terrorists and the "war on terror" to rid the world of them?
What if we are in WW4? How would you respond? As a Christian what should you do? Are we to
be concerned for nations on the earth? —Jesus said, "my kingdom is
not of this world" if you are His then its your kingdom He's talking
about too. Governments will collide, nations will fight, and wars and rumors of wars will
happen just as our Lord said. However, our concern is to be about our Father's business
and go out as God sent Jesus so He sends us. That is declare the Gospel!
As far as women in military, they keep saying they go in because of the
education opportunities and move up the economic ladder some do, maybe some. Most go in
because it is in their polluted liberal mind to storm every bastion of manhood, and the
U.S. military is one of them. Bottom line women in the military in any role, besides
nursing, doctors, or support is a clear sign of a weak military and or at least appear
that way in the minds of other countries.
So call me overreacting or paranoid of governments including our own, but
we need to understand that there is more going on than what the liberal news and
information show us. In the wake of the UN disagreements, which I knew was always brewing,
but it was never brought out publicly until then what country and nation can you trust?
None really. And were not called to.
The European countries are struggling to keep up economically and have
become so liberal in their thinking and political views they can't be trusted. The African
and South American countries are so poor and ravaged by diseases they're struggling to
keep up. The Arab countries have a plan, and we may not know what it is—one can
speculate it's the total destruction of America and the west. The differences and
conflicts they have with their Muslim faith and Christianity spur this on.
China and the Asian countries can't be trusted they never could be. They
can be a brutal people, and have also a plan, secret of course, to destroy America.
They are like the Russians willing to wait for as long as need be to accomplish this. The
Russians are as the Chinese can't be trusted and we'll never be able to. They to have some
kind of secret plan to destroy the United States. And they too are willing to wait for as
long as need be to accomplish this. We know we have a kingdom that cannot be destroyed
which is eternal in the heavens safe with our master Jesus Christ!

Islam
Before we get into this section you may be thinking "Oh, brother more
on Islam I'm tired of hearing about it" you know what? I am too. So this section will
be short but to the point. We must understand and not be fooled. Read this section very
carefully you MUST understand the information here to understand what is happening and
will happen. Many today say that Islam and the followers of it, called Muslims, are
peaceful and loving people. That may be true for some, but there are a large number that
are in their own personal jihad (holy war) with either themselves, America, or Israel.
#1 - Conservative estimates usually put the number of Muslims at between
900 million and 1.3 billion in the world. Christianity is number one with over two billion
in the world. So the point is there is a very large number of Muslims in the world.
In other words this is no small group were talking about—it is classified as one of
the three largest religions Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism.
#2 - We must understand Christianity and Islam are not compatible.
Islam is against Christianity on many positions, but the most compelling is its
rejection of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and God Himself. This alone makes Islam an
enemy of Christianity and its adherent's candidates for evangelism.
The following must be read carefully.
Before we all start running off and embracing Islam as ok we need to
examine what it teaches about Jesus and Christianity.
"The resentment of the US has spread through societies demoralized by
their recent history. In few of the world's 50 or so Muslim countries have governments
offered their citizens either prosperity or democracy. Arab nations have lost three wars
against their arch-foe - and America's closest ally - Israel. A sense of failure and
injustice is rising in the throats of millions. From one end of the region to the other,
the perception is that Israel can get away with murder - literally - and that Washington
will turn a blind eye. It only keeps going on and on until the Muslim empire swallows
every empire existing. Saeed has become another shahid, a martyr and heroic
defender of the Muslims against the enemies of Islam. if we need to fight against the
United States in Afghanistan we are ready, because we are Muslims. It is our duty to fight
against any infidels who are threatening our Muslim brothers." (Christian Science
Monitor, Sept. 27, 2001)
After reading the above we should not be fooled it's not about America
being perceived as a world bully or anything like that, its truth (Christianity) and
falsehood (Islam) are at odds.
"It is our duty to fight against any infidels who are threatening our
Muslim brothers… It only keeps going on and on until the Muslim empire swallows every
empire existing."
Those are pretty scary words to freedom loving people, but that’s
what they have been led to believe.
"Muslims do believe that Isa (A.S.) was sent
down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of
God. Muslims do not believe that Isa (A.S.), also known as Jesus by Christians and
others, is dead or was ever crucified. We believe that he was raised to heaven and is
there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world.
Like Jesus (A.S.), Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is also a Prophet and Messenger. Muhammed
(P.B.U.H.) is the last Prophet, though, and there is none after him. Hence, Islam
is the last religion, complete, with the Holy Qur'an as the unchanged and perfect
word of God for over 1400 years, as God promised to preserve it till the last day for all
of humankind, unlike sacred texts of other religions which have mulitple versions and are
"revised" periodically. God, or Allah in Arabic, is Divine and Supreme
Being and Creator." (Mufti A.H. Elias, www.islam.tc,
Isa/Jesus A.S.)
They slew him not, nor did they crucify him but it was made dubious to
them. (Holy Qur'an,
Surah Nisaa, Verse 157)
"Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) himself told of the coming of Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon him).
They attempt to use John 14:15,16; 15:26,27; 16:12-14.
Ulema (learned scholars in Islam) have said that the person who is
described by Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) to come after him - in the above verse - does not comply
with any other person but Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)." (Mufti A.H. Elias, www.islam.tc, Isa/Jesus A.S.)
This is crazy and totally untrue. It's clear from ancient testimony, the
Scriptures, and nature itself that these Biblical verses speak of none other than the Holy
Spirit not Mohammed.
"The "person" whom Jesus (A.S.) prophecised will come after
him, is called Pargaleeta in the Bible. This word was deleted by interpreters and
translators and changed at times to "Spirit of Truth" and at other times, to
"comforter" and sometimes "Holy Spirit." The original Greek and its
meaning is "one whom people praise exceedingly." The sense of the word, then, is
applicable to the word Muhammad in Arabic, since Muhammad means 'the praised one.'"
(Mufti A.H. Elias, www.islam.tc, Isa/Jesus A.S.)
This is ridiculous someone needs to go back to Theology School! The Greek
word parakletos means comforter, advocate, or one that comes along side. Not
"the one whom people praised"? That is sloppy Greek and twisted Theology.
What does the Qur'an teach?
"And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence
they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them
at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay
them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers." (Quran, the cow chapter,
2:191)
"O you who believe! spend out of what We have given you before the
day comes in which there is no bargaining, neither any friendship nor intercession, and
the unbelievers-- they are the unjust." (Quran, the cow chapter, 2:254)
"And repentance is not for those who go on doing evil deeds, until
when death comes to one of them, he says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who die
while they are unbelievers. These are they for whom we have prepared a painful
chastisement. Those who are niggardly and bid people to be niggardly and hide what Allah
has given them out of His grace; and We have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful
chastisement. And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you
shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress,
surely the unbelievers are your open enemy." (Quran, the women chapter,
4:18,37,101)
"And when Allah promised you one of the two parties that it shall be
yours and you loved that the one not armed should he yours and Allah desired to manifest
the truth of what was true by His words and to cut off the root of the unbelievers.
this-- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire.
This, and that Allah is the weakener of the struggle of the unbelievers." (Quran,
the accessions chapter, 8:7,14,18)
"O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the
hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination. And let not their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah
only wishes to chastise them with these in this world and (that) their souls may depart
while they are unbelievers It did not beseem the people of Medina and those round
about them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind the Apostle of Allah, nor should
they desire (anything) for themselves in preference to him; this is because there afflicts
them not thirst or fatigue or hunger in Allah's way, nor do they tread a path which
enrages the unbelievers, nor do they attain from the enemy what they attain, but a
good work is written down to them on account of it; surely Allah does not waste the reward
of the doers of good; O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are
near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard
(against evil)." (Quran, the Immunity chapter, and 9:73,85,120,123)
"So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a
mighty striving with it." (Quran, the Distinction chapter, 25:52)
"And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Apostle, then
surely we have prepared burning fire for the unbelievers. Muhammad is the Apostle of
Allah, and those with him are firm of heart against the unbelievers..." (Quran,
the Victory chapter, 4:13,29)
Beloved, it's clear Islam is not compatible with Christianity, and is an
enemy of Jesus Christ. The quote below, from their own beliefs, prove it.
"Muslims do believe that Isa (A.S.) [Jesus]
was sent down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor
the son of God. Muslims do not believe that Isa (A.S.), also known as Jesus by
Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified." (Mufti A.H. Elias, www.islam.tc, Isa/Jesus A.S.)
This is totally contrary to Biblical Theology, and places Islam as a world
religion polemic to Christianity.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." (John 1:1,2)
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in
the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him]." (John 1:18)
"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am." (John 8:58)
"Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known
[it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." (1 Corinthians 2:8)
" Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and
was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." (Philippians 2:6-8)
"And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:16)
Some will say but Islam teaches that the Quran is God's final word to
mankind? Just as we say that of the Bible.
"Islam is the last religion, complete, with the Holy Qur'an
as the unchanged and perfect word of God for over 1400 years, as God promised to
preserve it till the last day for all of humankind…." (Mufti A.H. Elias, www.islam.tc, Isa/Jesus A.S.)
They may make this claim but we know this is not true. Our Lord Jesus has
a problem with that He said:
"…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
So the conclusion is Islam is a religion that is opposed to Christianity,
and to Christ Himself and is therefore lost and its adherents are in need of salvation.
Here's what some say.
"To kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an
individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible."
(Bin Laden, 1998)
"Most of the terrorists are Arabs, most are Muslims," Mr. Fisher
continues. "The next war will begin with the Christians and the Jews on one side and
the Muslims on the other side." (Global empathy: Will it last? from the September 17,
2001 edition, Christian Science Monitor)
"Islam is a universal and eternal
religion." (http://islamicity.com/mosque/Muslim.htm)
Three of the five articles of Muslim faith are directly against what
Christianity teaches.
1) Belief in one God Who has absolutely no
associate with Him in His divinity.
3) Belief in God's Books, and in the Holy
Qur'an as His Last Book.
4) Belief in God's Prophets, and in Muhammad
(blessings of Allah and peace be upon him) as His Last and Final
Messenger.
You can see the differences for yourself.
"Allah… He is the Creator of all human beings. He is the God for
the Christians, the Jews, the Muslims, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the atheists, and
others. Muslims worship God whose name is Allah. They put their trust in Him and they seek
His help and His guidance." (http://islamicity.com/mosque/Intro_Islam.htm)
"As a result, Muslims find it hard to accept the distinction that
Western cultures make between a person’s religious life and the rest of their life.
Muslims think such a distinction is entirely wrong. They believe that not only
individuals, but also the institutions of society should serve Allah." (http://www.alhambraproductions.com/shop/htm/islam2.htm)
"He is God, the One God, Independent and Sought by all; He begets
not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him. (The Holy Qur'an Chapter of
Sincerity of Faith)
"Say: we believe in God, and that which was revealed unto us, and
that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob, and the tribes, and
that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord; We make
no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. " (The Holy
Qur'an 3:84)
"Islam presents human beings with a simple twofold
invitation: to witness that there is no god but God Almighty; to witness that Muhammad is
the Messenger of God. This declaration is the door to a life of service,
and to participation in a community of believers whose highest duty is to call humanity to
embrace what is righteous and good, and to reject what is evil and degrading. Muslims are
sisters and brothers of all people of true faith, and wish to strive with them for peace
in this world." (http://islamicity.com/mosque/Islam_Expl.htm)
"Said Ibn Warraq, a speaker at the conference on Islam sponsored by
the Council for Secular Humanism at the Capitol Hilton. "It was taken from the Koran,
the Hadith [additional sayings of Muhammad] and Islamic tradition. Western liberals,
especially humanists, find it hard to believe this. The trouble with Western liberals is
they are pathologically nice. They think that everyone thinks like them, including the
Islamic fundamentalists." (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030413-152342.htm)
"Islam, however, is a proud faith with a glorious past. From its
7th-century roots in Arabia with the Prophet Muhammad, it had by the 11th century fostered
a civilization advanced in art, science, medicine and military prowess. In 1187, the
warrior Saladin, confirmed by the Baghdad caliph as sultan of Egypt and Syria, defeated
European Crusaders in the Holy Land… Indeed, as the splendor and power of Islam faded
after its zenith, much of the Islamic world was colonized by Western powers, and 20th
century decolonization left behind much poverty, many despotic governments and autocracies
-- and a residue of rage. But "I get very concerned when I see a U.S. official, or
Cohen, saying this is a war between us and militant Islam. It's very difficult to keep the
separation." Such rhetoric, he worries, could promote a "clash between religions
or civilizations." Look," he says, "I don't think you'll see mass
conversions" to militant Islam. "Unlike communism and Nazism, radical Islam
doesn't offer anything that works. It has no viable alternative model for economic
development or governance. "It's messianic and utopian and very dangerous . . . a
view of the world that can be tremendously cruel, particularly to women."
In the deserted emergency ward, Mohammed Suleiman hysterically looked for
his 8-month-old daughter, Rowand, brought in after a bomb her brother unwittingly brought
home exploded. Still, the volunteers intoned the Muslim prayer in unison: "There is
no God but God and Muhammad is his prophet." Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out,
followed by what sounded like a tank shell. A few minutes later, the volunteers brought in
an unconscious man, bleeding from the mouth and nose.
"Amu, Amu, can you hear me?" one man shouted, using the Arabic
word for "uncle." "Please say 'There is no God but God and Muhammad is his
Prophet,'"
In the hospital emergency room, meanwhile, Suleiman, 47, recalled the
explosion that killed his baby daughter. He said his eldest son Seif brought home a device
that exploded when he tried to examine it. Suleiman said he was convinced the explosive
was an American cluster bomb and his grief soon turned into anger.
"I'll kill an American one day. Perhaps not today, but maybe after 10
years," he said. (USA TODAY, 4/11/03)
In a Washington Times article by the Associated Press reports a man in
Iraq says, "We will never allow them to stay…whatever Saddam has done he is a
Muslim and we area Muslim nation."
"Anwar, a 14 year-old Iraqi child, asked this reporter: "When
will it be safe? When will we have a government? Are we going to have a Muslim
government?" "That’s what we want," he added, "because we are
Muslims."
And now they want a Muslim state in Iraq.
"Large protests have made it clear that many Iraqis want the United
States out of the country as soon as possible. In the biggest protest since U.S. forces
toppled Saddam nine days ago, tens of thousands of Muslims poured out of mosques and into
the streets of Baghdad on Friday, calling for an Islamic state to be established."
(MSNBC Web Site 4/19/03)
"Some protesters carried banners that said, "Leave our country.
We want peace," and many raised their right fists and chanted, "America is God's
enemy."" (Excite News 4/19/03)
There are three things that move many of the middle ground and extreme
Muslims to fight against the United States and Israel.
There incompatibility with Christianity and Judaism.
America's foreign policy especially in the Middle East.
America's support for the nation of Israel.
Important: Understand that the nice picture and peace loving
Muslims may not be out to kill Americans, but sooner or later if they read their
"kooky koran" they will began to have an inner struggle to obey or to compromise
and they hate to compromise. The middle road and radicals have already come to that
discovery and the need to fight against us.
Don't be fooled!
Thinking Everything is Alright
To express an opposing view of something right is dangerous. It fosters
rebellion and opens one to a critical thinking pattern cultured in error and without
conviction. It's the liberal, inane thinking individual, liberal democrat, progressive
dumb down individual, and completely loyal lemming to stolid and contorted reasoning that
are in the way; not the other way around—those with correct and right reasoning and
thinking. Again don't be fooled by errors, cults, false teaching, liberal media, and
politicians with secret motives. Understand and think. Think about things with logical
reasoning. Don't follow the crowd. Follow truth especially the Truth Jesus Christ.
Here is an example of someone who is totally misinformed and misguided.
"A British woman who came to Iraq acting as a human shield, expressed
shock at the speed of the collapse of Saddam's authority, and said 'Iraq was free until
U.S. led troops arrived.'"
Why are some people able to look at the evidence and conclude truth. While
others look essentially the same evidence and reach the opposite conclusion? There are two
networks in the brain one deliberate the other natural. There is reactive and rational.
Reactive would be "go get them and bring our troops home." The other is
"why are we there?" God has given us all these thinking processes. He has
instilled right and wrong. However, our thinking can be clouded by upbringing and wrong
teaching which is why people believe wrong things and say wrong things. Don't be one of
them.
A final note on the idea of defeating terrorism. Defeating terrorism is
defined today as those "…committed by groups in order to intimidate a population
or government into granting their demands." Most of the individuals committing
terrorism are of the "radial Islam wing" but they can be others. However, the
radical Islamic groups commit most of the terrorism. Defeating terrorism will never
happen—in the effort to give freedom of religion you continue to give license for
people of Islam to engage in Jihad (holy war) why? Because in Islam and its followers
there is the mandate to destroy all those not Muslim also called
unbelievers.
"And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence
they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them
at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay
them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers." (Quran, the cow chapter,

near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard
(against evil)." (Quran, the Immunity chapter, and 9:73,85,120,123)
"So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a
mighty striving with it." (Quran, the Distinction chapter, 25:52)
"And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Apostle, then
surely we have prepared burning fire for the unbelievers. Muhammad is the Apostle of
Allah, and those with him are firm of heart against the unbelievers..." (Quran,
the Victory chapter, 4:13,29)
They will as long as they believe in Islam be trained, exhorted, and led
to do this. They desire they whole world to be Muslim. Just as we desire the whole world
Christian.
Look at most Muslims that are not American they're angry at everyone
except other Muslims. If you talk with a American Muslim, not of Arabic decent, here in
America they seem angry at everyone not Muslim and have a special hatred for Christianity!
That is because they are at odds with everything they know here in America and Islam is
teaching them to, "And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out
from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not
fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight
you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers." (Quran, the
cow chapter, 2:191)
The Bible never tells us to kill the unbelievers, but to convert them in
Jesus name!
Amen?
God bless!
