NOTE: I was
recently contacted via the contact form and had a running e-mail conversation
concerning my websites home page widget that depicts the terrorist attacks by Muslims
since 9/11. The writer had some good, valid points so I will be moving the
widget to the Christian Prepper Page - not removing it from the website.
There is
a running debate here in the USA concerning Muslims. On one side there are
those that look at all Muslims as actual or potential terrorists. On the other
side are those that claim that most Muslims are peaceful and are not
terrorists.
To me
the answer lies in history. Many today are still taught about killing done by
Christians in the Crusades. This is false. The killing, and there was a lot of
it, was done by adherents of the Catholic Church. The Catholics slaughtered
Muslims and Christians alike. The Catholic Church “claimed” to be Christian
though, so we have to look deeper for the truth. The Truth is easily found in
the teachings of Christ in the Bible. No person who actually follows the
teachings of Christ would ever launch an offensive attack on another person.
Obviously the Catholic claim to being followers of the teachings of Christ was
a false claim.
Nowhere
in the teachings of Christ are we told to kill another human being - just the
opposite. This includes not killing even those that worship Satan. The killing
of alleged witches is another example of folks killing others against the
teachings of Christ while still claiming to be “Christian”. All the killings -
murders actually - done in the Crusades, the witch hunts, the Inquisition,
“Manifest Destiny” etc., where against the teachings of Christ. True followers
of the teachings of Christ would never commit such heinous acts.
This
leads us to today and the issue of Muslims and terrorism. The problem here is
almost the direct opposite of the issue of “Christian killing”. While no
teaching of Christ says to kill, some of the teachings of Mohammed do teach
to kill non-Muslims! This means every follower of the teachings of Mohammed
could, in light of their religion, justify being a terrorist - this includes
every “sect” of Islam - Sunni, Shiite, etc.
The
question changes from “are all Muslims terrorists” to “are all Muslims really
following Mohammed”. Just as for much of its history the Catholic Church forced
people to convert to Catholicism or die, Islam has done and is still doing the
same thing. Many folks living under sharia law in Muslim countries may assert
that they are Muslim when they really are not - primarily because if they do
not “act” Muslim they will be killed!
Most of
the left wing liberals that claim Islam is a religion of peace would be killed
or enslaved under sharia law. Women, at best, would be relegated to a status
even lower than “second-class citizen”. The LGBT crowd would all be killed
outright - as would adulterers, pedophiles, etc. Ironically, and sadly, the way
the USA is headed lately it would become closer to being a “godly” nation under
sharia law than under our current system!
Anyway,
the bottom line is that Christ taught not to kill; and, Mohammed taught to kill
or enslaved all that do not follow him. If only all the left wing liberal
“Islamophiles” would move to an Islamic country.
