Islam. The religion of peace, tolerance and truth?

[Carla_Danger]

No one is attempting to single out islamist ideology as controversial.

I'm sure all of us condemn the ceaseless attacks on civilians by those heavily armed groups of radical Lutherans.

And what religion was Timothy McVeigh, Adolph Hitler, and those who forced Africans into American slavery? Does Christianity produce people like that because it is so good?

Timothy McVeigh was simply a RW gun nutter.

LOL. In typical fashion, you use your religion to promote hate LOLOLOL

And in typical fashion, hell has fried your silly brain LOLOLOLOL.

How did I "use my religion to promote hate?"

Timothy McVeigh was simply a RW gun nutter.

Timothy McVeigh was a Catholic when he perpetrated the Oklahoma City bombing.

True. And a person doesn't need religion to become a terrorist. People can do some pretty horrific things when they feel they have "right" on their side.

The deity apparently related this information to Mohammad to be more exact.

Do you believe in God? Do you believe in a living God I guess it is called?

And good luck trying to explain to a Muslim that their prophet might be confused.

Good luck trying to explain anything to a Muslim.

Do I believe in God? - Absolutely, a living God. I believe in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." That pretty much sums it up.

I question whether or not the ISIS group is primitive with no moral standard at all, or if they are demons straight from Hell. For those Muslims who are passing for spiritual, compassionate people, maybe they need to attend a hellfire and damnation revival by primitive Baptists, or sign up for Catholic conversion. Mohammed hates Jesus, and, along with others who hate Jesus, must go to his knees and admit Jesus is Lord, just before he is kicked into Hell.

Our country is beginning to see that we are going to have to kill these animals. As long as ISIS is on a rampage, we have to fight them. And I believe Obama is a Muslim and has helped ISIS emerge from obscurity to what they are now. Believe me, I wish I was wrong and everyone could just get along.

Hello Linda, great to meet you. You bring up a very tricky aspect of religion. The religion of Islam is evil. Not all the members of the religion are any more evil than you or me however, minus the Islam part that is. The topic is definitely worth some exploration some time.

Allow me to make a little disclaimer about my personal relation with Jesus. I do not know who he is. YHWH came to me and I follow YHWH. This time last year I knew there was a God because he had said hello a few times in my life. I did not know who he was until he introduced himself as YHWH last spring. I know of no other God.

Hello Randomvariable. YHWH sounds like Yahweh, which is one of many names for GOD. So, I think you are in a good place with your spiritual life. My belief is GOD is JESUS, and JESUS is GOD. Genesis - Chapter 1 vs. 26 says in part, " Then God said, "Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." I take that as saying Jesus is with God as the world is created. I truly hope this interpretation is not picked on too badly by Bible scholars. As every Christian knows, eventually God had to create a perfect sacrifice to cleanse the souls of the human race. God could not directly look at the human race any longer because he could not look at sin. The sacrifice of Jesus created a perfect veil of blood for God to look through as he viewed the human race. All the human race has to do is believe this, and accept Jesus as their savior. They will be saved from spiritual death.
I saw something on Face Book that said, "Jesus, Died for us, Mohammad wants people to be killed for him."
Since Yahweh has been talking to you, it might be a good idea for you to find out why. My guess is you have been searching for answers. In good Christian conscience, I must remind you that you need to accept Jesus as your savior. There will be many opportunities for you to do this. Jesus won't come back until all are saved. That's the Rapture, which is a whole other topic. Good luck.
Linda

Do you believe in YHWH? Or Yahweh if you like.

 

[rdean]

One religion criticizing another? And both from Abraham?

Worse, look at American Christians:
Feed the poor and they will breed
Hungry children work harder
We hope Obama's children become orphans
Storms happen because God is punishing us for gays
Block healthcare

And look at how American Christians turned the other cheek when they didn't protect Christians in Iraq.

So tired of the hypocrisy.

The only valid point you made was your allusion to the
INACTION of largely Christian America in the face of
acts of genocide against Christians ----tens of millions in
just the past single hundred year period

I don't make up what Republicans say. I don't have to. They provide their own material.

I am 37 years old & an African-American. I am not a boy, I am a man.

Oh, I see what you thought was racist in my post. The word "boy" I presume. Well, if it's any consolation, I am 55 and Anglo-American and my dad used to call me "boy" all the time, so I never considered it racist term. When I was 37, I felt a lot more like a boy than I do now, if you know what I mean.

Whatever, I apologize for my offensive behavior. Like I said, I was just replying in kind.

 

[teddyearp]

And what religion was Timothy McVeigh, Adolph Hitler, and those who forced Africans into American slavery? Does Christianity produce people like that because it is so good?

No, but the rest of the Christian world stands up and very publicly and vocally condemns them. Where is the loud outcry against ISIS from the moslem world?

And Timothy McVeigh was not screaming "Praise God", nor was Hitler. The slavery issue, though reprehensible, is so not related to any topic in this thread.

Need Muslims go out of their way to publicly voice their opinions against "ISIS" and become involved in something they'd rather peacefully stay out of?

No.

So what are you saying? They're chickenshit? I mean, afraid of retaliation?

A question never asked...But when we all KNOW the answer, perhaps it should be shouted, over and over again!

He identified as an agnostic, although he was raised Catholic.

He became agnostic before he died, but he was a Catholic (CHRISTIAN) when he perpetrated the attack. Is so-called Christianity so good producing men like Timothy McVeigh & these people:

Terrorism in the United States - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Christian terrorism - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia ?

​

You know just as well as I do that many Muslims have far better reasons not to become involved than fear.

Plenty of Muslims choose not to become involved because they feel no need to concern themselves with ISIS, or war, and would rather focus on their own lives and embrace Islam in a way that suits their own weltanschauung. Not out of fear, but just because they rightly believe there is no need to become involved.

They might not give a damn about retaliation. They might just want some peace instead. Maybe they'd rather focus on their own life, their own family and friends. Maybe they'd rather focus on their own Islamic practices rather than allowing themselves to feel obligated to tell others how to practice Islam.

You have a problem with that? What, you can't just be satisfied that there are actually peaceful Muslims out there who aren't out to behead you? You really gotta hate on them for not becoming involved?

Religion played no part in his crime.

And what part did religion play in so-called Christians forcing Africans into American slavery?:

"(24)And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. (25)And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (26)And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (27)God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant." Gen. 9:24-27

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Islam is an all-encompassing, totalitarian political ideology created by a murderous warlord in such a way as to infuse such fear of God into his armies as to guarantee their complete fealty. He simply borrowed bits and pieces of other religions, grafted them onto his political manifesto, and voila'.

The mission statement of this "religion" is to subjugate and control all people, eliminate personal freedoms, and create such an overpowering governing agent that any divergence from it will be impossible. It acts more like a virus than it does a religion, and truly represents that "boot that would stomp on a human face forever" that Orwell warned about.

I don't trust American sources, but HOW CAN CHRISTIANITY BE A RELIGION OF PEACE FORCING PEOPLE INTO SLAVERY ON THE BASIS OF RACE OR ON ANY BASIS AT ALL???
