At least Islam is an anti-liberal, anti-egalitarian, manly, two-fisted faith…
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!!
Allah or The Lord Jesus Christ? By: Rick Mathes
Last month I attended my annual training session that’s required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: “Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?”
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, “Non-believers!”
I responded, “So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?”
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of “a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.”
He sheepishly replied, “Yes.”
I then stated, “Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!”
The Imam was speechless!
I continued, “I also have problem with being your “friend” when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?”
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification training seminar were Not happy with Rick’s way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim’s beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. To elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized.
Friedrich,
This entire narration shocks me. I am Muslim and never have I been taught to ‘go around killing everyone who is not Muslim’, and that too for a ‘place in heaven’. If this is what the Imam said to you, he is clearly ignorant of the teachings of Islam. What is the basis for this? Nowhere in the Qur’an does it encourage this! On the contrary,and contrary tp popular belief, there is absolutely no compulsion in Islam - force in Islam explicity has no place, and to kill would indeed take this to the extreme!
I myself have many Christian friends and friends from other religions, and it would be entirely absurd to ‘go around killing them’ to ’secure a place in Heaven’! The fact that anyone believes that this is what Islam encourages is almost unbelievable to me.
It seems that some Muslims and many non-Muslims have misunderstood the concept of Jihad. Jihad does not necessarily mean physical battle. Jihad can be psychological - overcoming evil to purify one’s mind. Furthermore, it is forbidden for a Muslim to be an aggressor of war, and the only time he is permitted to engage in war is to defend one’s self.
If people want to make allegations about religions, they should look at the religious books themselves. Since when have people and the media become the source of religion?! With all our education, I still fail to understand how many fail to grasp this basic fact. Look at the Qur’an, Bible and Torah if you want to make allegations about religious fact. People can and are often mistaken! As is clear with the case of what the Imam allegedly said.
And, just to clarify, Muslims do indeed believe in Jesus - as a Prophet of God - and we deeply respect him.
Yasmin, I agree with you. All the hatespeech in Islam is a mere consequence of underdevelopment on the intellectual and civil plane. I am not against islam, but I am against islam extremism as compared to the positive interpretation that can be given to this great religion (contrary to Judaïsm). But I don’t think Friedrich is against you per se, read the excellent article of Christian Bouchet in the right column of his blog. That also sums up my opinion.
