4 Islamic Terrorism
ISLAMIC TERRORISM
GEORGES SADA WAS AN AIR FORCE GENERAL UNDER SADDAM HUSSEIN.
GEORGES WAS AN IRAQI, BUT HE WASN’T A MUSLIM. ACTUALLY HE WAS AN ASSYRIAN CHRISTIAN.
AFTER SADDAMS FALL FROM POWER, GEORGES SADA WROTE A BOOK CALLED:
SADDAM’S SECRETS:
How an Iraqi General Defied and Survived Saddam Hussein.
IN SADA’S BOOK HE TALKS ABOUT THE SPREADING IMPACT OF ISLAM AROUND THE WORLD.
HE SAYS:
More than once I’ve been asked about the meaning of the Arabic words Fatah and Jihad.
To the followers of the militant brand of Islam, these doctrines mean that Allah has commanded them to conquer the nations of the world by cultural invasion and by the sword.
A cultural invasion involves moving thousands of Muslim families into a foreign land, building mosques and changing that culture from the inside out.
SADA WARNS US THAT THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS CONQUEST OF THE WEST AND AMERICA.
THEY WON’T BE STOPPED BY APPEASMENT,
THEY DON’T WANT WELFARE.
THEY UNDERSTAND ONLY ONE THING:
TOTAL AND COMPLETE CONQUEST OF THE WEST,
AND OF ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO BOW TO THEIR DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY OF HATE AND REVENGE.
WE AMERICANS DON’T SEEM TO TAKE THIS THREAT OF ISLAM SERIOUSLY.
THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER SAYS THAT US CITIZENS ARE ESSENTIALLY OBLIVIOUS TO THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF RADICAL MUSLIMS.
ACCORDING TO SADA, AMERICANS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO THE SPREAD OF MILITANT ISLAM
BECAUSE THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TRAITS THAT
WE CONSIDER SOCIALLY POSITIVE.
SADA SAYS THAT ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS THAT YOU ARE GENEROUS AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE, AND BECAUSE OF THIS YOU ARE SOMETIMES NAÏVE AND OVERLY TRUSTING.
YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDLY, SO YOU OPEN UP TO PEOPLE AND THEN YOU’RE SURPRISED WHEN THEY STAB YOU IN THE BACK.
OUR MEDIA GIVES US A CONFUSING AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND MESSAGE.
THEY TELL US ON THE ONE HAND THAT ISLAM IS A MAJOR THREAT TO OUR WORLD,
AND ON THE OTHER HAND THAT MUSLIMS ARE GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD AND WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE AT PEACE WITH US.
SO, WHICH IS IT?
IS ISLAM MILITANT OR PEACEFUL?
FOX NEWS AIRED A SPECIAL REPORT CALLED
“RADICAL ISLAM; TERROR IN ITS OWN WORDS.”
THIS DOCUMENTARY INCLUDED SHOCKING CLIPS OF ISLAMIC TELEVISION SHOWING CLERICS AND POLITICAL LEADERS OPENLY ADVOCATING ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES AND ON ISRAEL.
IT SHOWED YOUNG CHILDREN SINGING OF THEIR DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE IN VIOLENT JIHAD OR TO BECOME SUICIDE BOMBERS.
THERE WAS ALSO AN ISLAMIC RALLY HELD IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE AUDIENCE WAS TOLD, “ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE THE FLAG OF ISLAM FLYING OVER THE WHITE HOUSE.”
THERE WAS A CHILDRENS PROGRAM AIRED ON HAMAS OWNED TELEVISION THAT SHOWED A BOY PUPPET SNEAKING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AND KILLING PRESIDENT BUSH WITH THE SWORD OF ISLAM.
IN THE FACE OF THESE REPORTS IT’S HARD TO SWALLOW THE CONSTANT CONTENTION BY SOME OF THE MUSLIM LEADERS THAT THEY ARE A PEACE-LOVING PEOPLE.
REZA F. SAFA WAS ASKED,
IF ISLAM IS A PEACEFUL RELIGION, THEN WHY DID MOHAMMED ENGAGE IN 47 BATTLES?
WHY, IN EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN THAT THE MUSLIM ARMIES HAVE FOUGHT, HAVE THEY SLAUGHTERED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO DID NOT BOW THEIR KNEES TO THE LORDSHIP OF ISLAM?
ISLAMIC LEADERS SUCH AS
SADDAM, KHOMEINI, GHADAFI, IDI AMIN AND MANY OTHER MUSLIM DICTATORS
ARE MODERN EXAMPLES OF THIS KIND OF RUTHLESSNESS.
IF ISLAM IS PEACEFUL, WHY ISN’T THERE EVEN ONE MUSLIM NATION THAT WILL ALLOW FREEDOM OF RELIGION?
IF ISLAM IS PEACEFUL THEN WHO IS IMPARTING THIS AWFUL VIOLENCE THAT KILLS SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE, THROUGH OUT THE WORLD?
THE HISTORY OF ISLAM
MOHAMMED WAS BORN IN 570 AD TO A POOR FAMILY IN SAUDI ARABIA, A PLACE THAT WAS ¾ DESERT?
NO ONE WOULD HAVE DREAMED THAT WITHIN A CENTURY THESE NOMADS WOULD CONQUER HALF OF BYZANTINE ASIA, ALL OF PERSIA, EGYPT, MOST OF NORTH AFRICA
AND BE ON THEIR WAY TOWARD SPAIN.
THE NAME ISLAM LITERALLY MEANS SUBMISSION.
A MUSLIM IS ONE WHO SUBMITS TO GOD.
IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE 1.5 BILLION MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD TODAY WITH 1.4 MILLION OF THEM LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES.
ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC TRADITION, MOHAMMAD WAS BORN IN MECCA.
HIS FATHER DIED BEFORE HE WAS BORN, AND HIS MOTHER DIED WHEN HE WAS SIX YEARS OLD.
HIS GRANDFATHER RAISED HIM.
WHEN HE GREW UP, HE BECAME A CAMEL DRIVER AND THEN BECAME A MERCHANT.
THEN AT THE AGE OF 26, HE MARRIED A WEALTHY CARAVAN OWNER AND THEY HAD SIX CHILDREN TOGETHER.
MOHAMMAD WORKED IN PROFESSIONS THAT BROUGHT HIM INTO CONTACT WITH BOTH CHRISTIANS AND JEWS.
MOHAMMAD RECEIVED HIS FIRST REVELATION WHEN HE WAS 40 YEARS OLD,
IN A CAVE JUST OUTSIDE OF MECCA.
HE SHARED HIS REVELATION WITH THE PEOPLE.
FROM THAT TIME ON, WHENEVER HE HAD A REVELATION, HE WOULD TELL THE PEOPLE
AND THESE REVELATIONS BECAME THE VERSES OF THE QU’RAN.
IN THE SEVENTH CENTURY WORLD THAT MOHAMMAD LIVED IN, THEY WORSHIPED 360 gods. ONE FOR EACH DAY OF THE YEAR.
THEIR MOON GOD HAD MANY NAMES, ONE OF WHICH WAS ALLAH, AND ALLAH WAS THE FAVORITE god OF MOHAMMAD’S FAMILY.
SO AS HE BEGAN TO PROMOTE HIS NEW RELIGION, IT WAS ONLY NATURAL TO CHOOSE TO ELEVATE THE MOON god ALLAH AND DECLARE HIM TO BE THE ONE TRUE god.
IN ESTABLISHING AND SPREADING HIS RELIGION OF ISLAM, MOHAMMAD SLAUGHTERED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO REFUSED TO BE CONVERTED.
ONE OF MOHAMMAD’S CLAIMS WAS THAT GOD COMMANDED HIM TO FIGHT PEOPLE UNTIL THEY BECAME MUSLIMS…. ALL MUSLIM SCHOLARS AGREE ON THIS.
IN AD 620 MOHAMMAD BEGAN TO FACE OPPOSITION IN MECCA AND HAD TO FLEE TO MEDINA.
BUT MOHAMMAD RETURNED TO MECCA THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND DIED THERE.
AT HIS DEATH THE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY BECAME BITTERLY DIVIDED OVER THE QUESTION OF WHO WOULD BE MOHAMMAD’S SUCCESSOR.
TODAY THERE ARE STILL TWO SECTS OF ISLAM,
THE SHI’ITES AND THE SUNNI.
THE FIGHTING BETWEEN THESE TWO GROUPS
IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN IRAQ TODAY.
NINTY PERCENT OF THE MUSLIM’S IN THE WORLD TODAY ARE SUNNI.
THE HABITS OF ISLAM
SUNNI MUSLIMS REQUIRE FIVE ACTS OF WORSHIP WHICH ARE REFERRED TO AS THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM.
1. RECITE THE SHAHADAH; THE SHAHADAH IS THE ISLAMIC CREED, THERE IS NO god BUT ALLAH, AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER.
2. TO PRAY (salat); MUSLIMS PRAY WHILE BOWING TOWARD MECCA.
3. TO FAST (sawm); MUSLIMS FAST DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS THROUGHOUT RAMADAN.
4. TO GIVE ALMS(zakat); MUSLIMS GIVE 2 ½ PERCENT TO THE POOR AND THOSE IN NEED.
5. TO MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA (hajj);
TO VISIT MECCA ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME.
THE HATRED OF ISLAM
THE MOST FRIGHTENING WORD IN ISLAM IS JIHAD.
SOMETIMES CALLED THE SIXTH PILLAR OF ISLAM.
THERE IS THE GREATER JIHAD WHICH IS THE STRUGGLE WITHIN THE MUSLIM PERSON.
AND THERE IS THE LESSER JIHAD WHICH IS THE ONE THAT STRIKES FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF ANYONE WHO REJECTS ISLAM.
TO THESE RADICAL MUSLIMS,
THIS JIHAD AUTHORIZES EXPANSION OF THE ISLAMIC RELIGION EVEN BY MEANS OF DEADLY AGGRESSION.
FORMER PAKASTANI PRIME MINISTER BENAZIR BHUTTO SAID BEFORE SHE WAS ASSASSINATED;
THE GREAT HOPE OF THE MILITANTS IS A COLLISION, AND EXPLOSION BETWEEN THE VALUES OF THE WEST AND WHAT THE EXTREMISTS CLAIM TO BE THE VALUES OF ISLAM. THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS CHAOS.
THE HATRED THAT THE MUSLIMS HAVE FOR THE JEWS NEEDS NO DOCUMENTATION.
THE MILITANTS AND RADICALS REFER TO ISRAEL AS "LITTLE SATAN" AND THE UNITED STATES AS "BIG SATAN".
WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE 1.5 BILLION MUSLIMS WANT NO PART OF THIS DEADLY VIOLENCE,
EXPERTS SAY THAT 15 TO 20 PERCENT OF MUSLIMS ARE RADICAL ENOUGH TO STRAP A BOMB ON THEIR BODIES
IN ORDER TO KILL CHRISTIANS AND JEWS.
IF THIS NUMBER IS ACCURATE, IT MEANS THAT ABOUT
300 MILLION MUSLIMS ARE WILLING TO DIE IN ORDER TO TAKE YOU AND ME DOWN.
SHEIKH IBRAHIM MDAIRES DELIVERED A SERMON AT A MOSQUE IN THE GAZA STRIP THAT WAS BROADCAST LIVE TO THE ARAB WORLD.
IT'S TEXT HAS BEEN CIRCULATED AROUND THE WORLD.
IT REPRESENTS THE ALARMING DOCTRINES AND ATTITUDES THAT ARE BEING TAUGHT AND PREACHED IN MANY MASQUES AND ISLAMIC SCHOOLS TODAY.
THIS IS SOME OF WHAT WAS SAID.
WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, THE ENTIRE ISLAMIC NATION WAS LOST, BECAUSE ISRAEL IS A CANCER... THE JEWS ARE A VIRUS RESEMBLING AIDS, FROM WHICH THE ENTIRE WORLD SUFFERS. YOU WILL FIND THAT THE JEWS WERE BEHIND ALL THE CIVIL STRIFE IN THIS WORLD.
THE JEWS ARE BEHIND THE SUFFERING OF THE NATIONS....
WE [THE MUSLIMS] HAVE RULED THE WORLD BEFORE, AND BY ALLAH, THE DAY WILL COME WHEN WE WILL RULE THE ENTIRE WORLD AGAIN. THE DAY WILL COME WHEN WE WILL RULE AMERICA. THE DAY WILL COME WHEN WE WILL RULE BRITAIN, AND THE ENTIRE WORLD -- EXCEPT THE JEWS. THE JEWS WILL NOT ENJOY A LIFE OF TRANQUILITY UNDER OUR RULE, BECAUSE THEY ARE TREACHEROUS BY NATURE, AS THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY. THE DAY WILL COME WHEN EVERYTHING WILL BE RELIEVED OF THE JEWS... LISTEN TO THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD, WHO TELLS YOU ABOUT THE EVIL THAT AWAITS THE JEWS. THE STONES AND TREES WILL WANT THE MUSLIMS TO FINISH OFF EVERY JEW.
IF THIS ISN'T ENOUGH TO CONVINCE YOU THAT ISLAM IS THE ENEMY OF AMERICA AND CHRISTIANITY, THEN CONSIDER THIS.
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE FIFTY-FIVE PREDOMINATELY MUSLIM NATIONS ON EARTH TODAY WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE NOT PERSECUTED.
THE HOPES OF ISLAM
1. ISLAM HOPES TO RULE THE WORLD.
DON RICHARDSON TELLS US IN HIS BOOK,
SECRETS OF THE KORAN.
THE WORLD NEEDS TO BE WARNED. AT LEAST 40 MILLION MUSLIM YOUTH IN THE MUSLIM WORLD'S RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS, CALLED MADRASAS, ARE AVIDLY MEMORIZING THE ENTIRE KORAN PLUS A GENERALLY EXTREMIST BODY OF RELATED TRADITIONS CALLED THE HADITHS...
THESE SCHOOLS ARE BREEDING GROUNDS FOR POTENTIAL TERRORISTS....
HATRED FOR JEWS AND CHRISTIANS (LARGELY SYNONYMOUS WITH ISRAEL AND AMERICA) AND GENERAL DISDANE FOR ALL NON-MUSLIMS .... ARE DEEPLY INSTILLED .... SIMPLY PUT,
40 MILLION TRAINEES IN MUSLIM MADRASAS ARE A SOCIETAL NUCLEAR BOMB.
WE AMERICANS WANT TO BE NICE. WE WANT TO ACCOMMODATE. WE WANT TO BELIEVE THAT IF WE ARE TOLERANT OF OTHERS, THEY WILL RECIPROCATE.
WE TEND TO FORGET GENERAL SADA' WARNING THAT MILITANT MUSLIMS DON'T THINK THAT WAY, AND EACH INCH WE GIVE IN THE NAME OF ACCOMMODATION, THEY WILL TAKE IN THE NAME OF CONQUEST.
SOMETHING THAT WE HEAR VERY LITTLE ABOUT IS THE ISLAMIFICATION OF EUROPE, WHICH FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE THAT WE LOOKED AT LAST WEEK
TONY BLANKLEY OF THE WASHINGTON TIMES
WROTE A BOOK ABOUT ISLAMIC INFILTRATION.
TONY'S BOOK NAMED
THE WEST'S LAST CHANCE SAYS;
IN MUCH OF THE WEST, AND PARTICULARLY IN EUROPE, THERE IS BLIND DENIAL THAT RADICAL ISLAM IS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD.
WE ARE SHEEP WHO CANNOT SENSE THE WOLF PACK IN THE WOODS....
THE THREAT OF RADICAL ISLAMISTS TAKING OVER EUROPE IS EVERY BIT AS GREAT TO THE UNITED STATES AS THE NAZIS TAKING OVER EUROPE IN THE 1940s
THE RESURGENCE OF A MILITANT ISLAM HAS DRIVEN AMERICA TO FIGHT TWO WARS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES IN TWO YEARS.
WE CAN SEE AND RESIST THE EFFECTS OF JIHAD IN MILITANT TERRORISM,
BUT THERE IS A MORE SUBTLE STRATEGY THAT MUSLIMS CALL FATAH.
FATAH MEANS INFILTRATION.
IT’S MOVING INTO A COUNTRY IN SUCH LARGE NUMBERS THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO AFFECT THE CULTURE.
FATAH TAKES ADVANTAGE OF TOLERANT LAWS AND ACCOMMODATIVE POLICIES SO THEY CAN INSERT THE INFLUENCE OF ISLAM.
THIS IS HAPPENING IN FRANCE.
SOME EXPERTS ARE PROJECTING THAT BY THE YEAR 2040, 80% OF THE POPULATION OF FRANCE WILL BE MUSLIM.
AT THAT TIME, ISLAM WILL CONTROL THE COMMERCE, INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT, AND ALL KEY POSITIONS IN THE FRENCH PARLIAMENT. AND THEY WILL HAVE A MUSLIM PRESIDENT.
THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN ENGLAND, BUT THEY ARE NOT WAITING FOR FURTHER GROWTH. THEY’RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BRITIANS POLICY OF PLURALISTIC TOLERANCE.
THE BRITISH HOME SECRETARY JOHN REID, GAVE A SPEECH TO THE MUSLIM PARENTS IN EAST LONDON, ENCOURAGING THEM TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN FROM PRESSURE TO BECOME SUICIDE BOMBERS
WHEN A ROBED AND TURBANED FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIM LEADER SHOUTED HIM DOWN.
HE RANTED AT THE HOME SECRETARY FOR FIVE MINUTES SHOUTING, HOW DARE YOU COME TO A MUSLIM AREA?.... I AM FURIOUS. I AM ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS.
MUSLIMS ARE CLAIMING ENTITLEMENT TO KEEP THEIR SETTLEMENTS OFF-LIMITS TO NATIVE CITIZENS.
IN LONDON THERE ARE NON-MUSLIM NO-GO ZONES.
AND THEN THERE IS THE SHARIA LAW.
IT IS DERIVED FROM THE QU'RAN AND THE TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD AND IT IS THE LEGAL SYSTEM THAT MUSLIMS ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE BY.
MOST OF IT IS FAIRLY BENIGN, BUT IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES IT CAN INCLUDE SUCH THINGS AS "HONOR KILLINGS" IN CASES OF SUSPECTED IMMORALITY.
SOME FORESEE THE INCORPORATION OF SHARIA LAW INTO THE ENGLISH LAW, WHICH WOULD DELIVER A FATAL BLOW TO THE HISTORIC CHRISTIANITY OF ENGLAND.
AND THEN THERE IS BIOLOGICAL JIHAD.
ALSO CALLED DEMOGRAPHIC JIHAD.
THIS IS WHERE MUSLIM FAMILIES HAVE SO MANY CHILDREN THAT THEY SURPASS THE TRADITIONAL POPULATION.
ISLAM HOPES TO RETURN ITS MESSIAH
IN 2005 MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD WAS CALLED BEFORE THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL TO EXPLAIN HIS CONTINUED DETERMINATION TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
HE BEGAN HIS SPEACH BY DECLARING:
"IN THE NAME OF THE GOD OF MERCY, COMPASSION, PEACE, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE" ....
AND HE ENDED WITH HIS PRAYER WITH;
"I PRAY TO YOU TO HASTEN THE EMERGENCE OF YOUR LAST RESPOSITORY, THE PROMISED ONE, THAT PERFECT AND PURE HUMAN BEING, THE ONE THAT WILL FILL THIS WORLD WITH JUSTICE AND PEACE."
THE PROMISED ONE IN AHMADINEJAD'S PRAYER WAS A REFERENCE TO THE TWELFTH IMAM.
OR THE ISLAMIC MESSIAH.
MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT THE MESSIAH WILL COME WHEN THERE IS GREAT TURMOIL IN THE WORLD, AND IF THEY CAN CAUSE THIS TURMOIL, THEN THEIR MESSIAH WILL COME.
AHMADINEJAD HAS PROMISED TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP.
WHEN HE WAS ELECTED HE RECEIVED 70% OF THE VOTE.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT MANY OF THE PEOPLE OF IRAN.
THE WORLD IS STARTING TO TAKE AHMADINEJAD SERIOUSLY
ALTHOUGH I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT OUR PRESENT PRESIDENT.
BUT ISRAEL IS TAKING IRAN DEAD SERIOUS. THEY’RE CONVINCED THAT HE IS DETERMINED TO DESTROY THEM.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD DOESN'T SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.
I FULLY BELIEVE THAT THEY EITHER DON'T CARE
OR THEY ARE IN LEAGUE WITH THE ISLAMIC NATIONS.
RESPONDING TO THE ISLAMIC THREAT
IT’S CRITICAL THAT WE AFFIRM THE TRUTH THAT THERE’S A VAST CHASM BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM.
FIRST OF ALL, ALLAH IS NOT ANOTHER NAME FOR THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
STAN GOODENOUGH
TELLS US IN THE JERUSALEM NEWSWIRE;
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, PEOPLE HIJACK PLANES, AND USE THEM TO WREAK UNSPEAKABLE DEVASTATION, BLOW THEMSELVES UP IN CROWDED PUBLIC VENUES TO ANNIHILATE INNOCENT PEOPLE, AND IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE PRAY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES.
WHEN GOD INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO MOSES, HE GAVE HIS NAME AS YHWH -- JEHOVAH. GOD HAS MANY OTHER NAMES DESCRIBING ASPECTS OF HIS NATURE AND CHARACTER, ALLAH IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
1. THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS KNOWABLE.
ALLAH IS SO EXALTED THAT HE CANNOT BE KNOWN.
2. THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS A PERSONAL BEING WITH INTELLECT, EMOTION AND WILL.
MUSLIM THEOLOGY TELLS US ALLAH IS NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS A PERSON.
3. THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS A SPIRIT.
TO MUSLIMS, SUCH A THOUGHT IS BLASPHEMOUS AND DEMEANING TO ALLAH.
4. THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS ONE GOD IN THREE PERSONS.
THE QU'RAN DENIES THE TRINITY AND VIEWS IT AS A MAJOR HERESY.
5. THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS A GOD OF LOVE.
ALLAH DOES NOT HAVE EMOTIONAL FEELINGS TOWARD MAN.
6. THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS A GOD OF GRACE.
ACCORDING TO THE QU'RAN THERE IS NO SAVIOR OR INTERCESSOR.
IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE AND ALLAH ARE NOT AT ALL THE SAME, AND SHOULD NEVER BE MADE EQUAL TO EACH OTHER.
THE QU'RAN IS NOT A DIVINE BOOK ON PAR WITH THE BIBLE.
ACTUALLY, MUSLIMS BELIEVE THE QU'RAN TO BE THE MOTHER OF ALL BOOKS
AND THE BIBLE TO BE SUBSERVIENT TO IT.
THE BIBLE IS A MASTERPIECE OF COHESION, DEPTH, LITERATERARY QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY.
GOD INSPIRED MORE THAN 40 MEN OVER A PERIOD OF 1400 YEARS TO WRITE THE GOD-BREATHED WORDS THAT CARRY HIS UNIFIED MESSAGE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION
(2 TIMOTHY 3:16)
OBJECTIVE READERS WHO HAVE READ BOTH THE BIBLE AND THE QU'RAN ARE IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QUALITY AND COMPREHENSIBILITY.
HISTORIAN EDWARD GIBBON WHO WAS IN NO WAY A CHRISTIAN DESCRIBED THE QU'RAN AS
"AN INCOHERENT RHAPSODY OF FABLE, AND PRECEPT, AND DECLAMATION, WHICH SOMETIMES CRAWLS IN THE DUST, AND SOMETIMES IS LOST IN THE CLOUDS."
MUSLIMS ARE NOT BEYOND THE REACH OF GOD'S GRACE.
THERE'S A BUMPER STICKER OUT THERE SOMEWHERE THAT SAYS "HAVE YOU PRAYED FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN TODAY"
PETER REMINDS US THAT "THE LORD IS ... NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE" (2 PETER 3:9)
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JESUS HIMSELF SAID WAS TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THOSE WHO HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO SPITELFULLY USE YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU. (MATTHEW 5:44)
DAVID JEREMIAH TELLS US THAT THEY OFTEN GET LETTERS AND E-MAILS FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE COME TO CHRIST THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF GOD'S WORD BEAMED INTO THESE ARAB CONTRIES.
THERE WAS ONE PERSON WHO WROTE ABOUT HOW HE HAD ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST INTO HIS HEART AND EXPRESSED GREAT APPRECIATION.
BUT THEN ASKED THEM NOT TO SEND ANY MATERIALS TO HIS HOME ADDRESS.
MANY MUSLIMS ARE BEING CONFRONTED WITH THE GOSPEL IN THEIR DREAMS.
ONE MAN IN SAUDI ARABIA WROTE THAT HE WAS HAVING DREAMS THAT HE WAS BEING TAKEN TO HELL.
AFTER MANY NIGHTS OF THIS HORRIFYING NIGHTMARE HE HAD NO PEACE LEFT IN HIS LIFE AT ALL.
THEN ONE NIGHT JESUS APPEARED IN HIS DREAM AND SAID "SON, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. AND IF YOU WILL GIVE YOUR LIFE TO ME, I WOULD SAVE YOU FROM THE HELL THAT YOU HAVE SEEN."
THE NEXT DAY HE BEGAN LOOKING FOR A BIBLE. EVENTUALLY AN EGYPTIAN CHRISTIAN GAVE HIM A BIBLE.
HE BEGAN READING IT AND WHEN HE GOT TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, HE WAS SO MOVED THAT HE GAVE HIS LIFE TOTALLY TO JESUS CHRIST.
NOT LONG AFTER THAT AN OPPONENT OF HIS REPORTED HIM TO THE AUTHORITIES AS A CHRISTIAN.
HE WAS PUT IN JAIL, TORTURED AND EVENTUALLY SENTENCED TO DEATH BY BEHEADING.
ON THE MORNING OF HIS EXECUTION, NO ONE SHOWED UP TO TAKE HIM FROM HIS CELL.
TWO DAYS LATER THE AUTHORITIES THREW OPEN HIS CELL DOOR AND SCREAMED AT HIM
"YOU DEMON! GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!"
THE MAN LATER LEARNED THAT HIS EXECUTION HAD NOT TAKEN PLACE BECAUSE THE SON OF HIS ACCUSER HAD MYSTERIOUSLY DIED.
HE IS NOW QUIETLY WORKING TO BRING OTHERS TO FAITH IN CHRIST.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID THAT "THE BEST WAY TO DESTROY AN ENEMY IS TO MAKE HIM A FRIEND."
THE BEST WAY TO COUNTER THE THREAT OF ISLAM IS TO MAKE CHRISTIANS OUT OF MUSLIMS.
OUR PRAYERS, OUT TESTIMONIES, OUR LOVE AND CARE FOR OUR ISLAMIC NEIGHBORS MAY NOT TURN THE TIDE OF THESE END TIMES,
BUT THEY CAN TURN THE TIDE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND ALLOW THEM TO ESCAPE THE WRATH TO COME.
I’M NOT SURE HOW MANY MUSLIMS ARE CLOSE TO US HERE IN ALBION, BUT THE TRUTH STILL EXISTS.
WE NEED TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD IN ORDER TO SAVE THE.
