In contemplating the latest Islamic terrorist attack in Nice, France, I believe it is high time that we admit the truth. The "religion of peace" is in reality, a "religion of hate." The fruit of Islam is evil and those who delight in it shall find no salvation but rather an eternity of suffering in hell. The people who follow Islam must consider the fruit of their own religion and realize that there is no salvation in Islam. It is leading multitudes to hell and the only answer is to abandon it and come to Jesus Christ. How can Muslims come to Jesus Christ if the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not preached to them? The Gospel of Jesus Christ must be preached throughout the earth to all, not some. There are some who accuse radical faith in Jesus Christ with the radical faith of Mohammedans. This morning while thinking about the latest Islamic terrorist attack against the people in Nice, France, I was reminded of an article Michael Boldea Jr. wrote over a month ago (June 13, 2016) which addresses such false beliefs. The title of the message is, "What a hate crime looks like." Here it is a portion of that message:
Let’s be honest here. Cards on the table, nothing up our sleeve sort of honest. Christians simply don’t do this, and even the world knows it. The worst you can expect of any Christian, a true Christian regardless of their denomination, is telling someone that their lifestyle is sinful and that they need to repent. I cannot embrace, validate, or champion your lifestyle, but never once have I wished death upon anybody for it. Christians don’t want to see sinners dead. Christians want to see sinners saved. That is one of the marked differences between the Christian faith and Islam.
You can keep calling it a religion of peace if you like, you can keep insisting that all Muslims are peace loving peoples who embrace diversity and allow for differing viewpoints, but the bodies are starting to pile up, and eventually there will be so many that even the most ardent defender and proponent of the ‘religion of peace’ narrative will have to backpedal just a smidgen.
To those who thought that someone refusing to bake a cake, or cater a wedding amounted to a hate crime, may I humbly submit that this is what a hate crime really looks like, and it’s evil and insidious and cruel and final. Hurt feelings does not a hate crime make. Dead people does.
Loss of life is always a painful thing to witness, especially loss of life on such a grand scale. If I were to say this was an outlier, an exception to the rule and something that will not repeat, I would simply be paying you lip service when all evidence pointed to the contrary.
The evident truth is that such things will continue to occur, and chances are better than good that they will increase in frequency. Next time it may not be a club, but it will be something public, and populated, and frequented by a large swath of people, because in the minds of those who decide they will take as many lives as they possibly can on any given day a dead infidel is a dead infidel whether they are young or old, educated or simpleminded, an individual of means or the lowliest of paupers.
