MIRAGE

The Love Language of Islam

CHAPTER FOUR

The Dangers of Interfaith

The Christians in the West must wake up from the mirage that is being promoted through ‘interfaith dialogue’ and documents such as “A Common Word Between Us and You” and “Loving God and Neighbor Together.”

The following is a description of the attractive and alluring mirage being offered to Western Christianity:  There will be Reconciliation, Freedom of Religion, World Peace, Love Toward God and Your Neighbor, Equal Rights, Women’s Rights, Freedom of Speech, Tolerance, Co-existence, etc.  This s a delusion, as all mirages are!

A Simple Way of Promoting The Mirage

The Islamic groups are coming into your communities and neighborhoods with an agenda.  They are settling in an inviting people to their “get-togethers.”  Their main focus is to show you that they are good neighbors so that they are acceptable in your sight.

The Muslims main tool to silence people is terrorizing them.

The real danger to Britain today is the spiritual and moral vacuum that has occurred for the last 40 or 50 years.  When you have such a vacuum something will fill it.

All of these converts will share their experiences from the past to present and will tell you that since Islam has come into their lives they are fulfilled and complete.  They feel at peace now, respect themselves, and above all have overcome the abuse of drugs, alcohol, depression, lack of acceptance by their own families, extra marital relationships, etc.  These women also express how safe and loved they feel because their Muslim husbands treat them like queens.  However, I am sure they will not feel the same after a couple of years, when they come to realize that they are either the second or third wife of their Muslim husband.  Finally reality dawns, and they realize their Muslim marriage is not at all what is originally seemed to be.

A Proposal for a Mega Mosque in London

The main opposition to the mega-mosque is coming from Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo of the Barnabas fund.  He says:  “The mosque would bring a radical transformation to the local community.  The mosque is the center of the community and people gravitate to it.  You would end up having a completely Muslim community…It would create a separate district, a parallel society.”

The brains behind this Mega Mosque are “Tablighi Jamatt” which literally means preaching party”/”conveying group.”

Tablighi Jamaat

“Tablighi Jamaat” is an apolitical missionary and revival movement whose principal aim is spiritual reformation of Muslims.  Their activities are not limited to the Muslim community and their main aim is to bring guidance to Muslims throughout the world.  However Tablighi followers insist that they do not preach violence and have denied any involvement with terrorist groups.

Geert Wilders argues that “there is no such thing as ‘moderate Islam’ and the “Koran also states that Muslims who believe in only part of the Koran is in face apostates.”

The Jyllands-Posten Muhammd Cartoons controversy began after twelve editorial cartoons most of which depicted the Islamic prophet Muhammad, were published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten on September 30, 2005.  The headline of the cartoons was “Muhammeds ansigt,” which means “The face of Muhammad.”

Below is the reaction to the twelve editorial cartoons from the “peace-loving” Muslim world:

The Muslim world not only targeted the cartoonists, but also vented their wrath on the Danish embassies around the world.  At least 139 people were killed and 823 were injured in the international cartoon riots, and the cartoonists now live under death threats.  Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen described the controversy as Denmark’s worst international crisis since World War II.

New from around the Islamic World

Indonesia – The Islamic extremists and local governments of Indonesia are involved in discrimination and violence against Christian churches.  The radical Islamic groups pressured the local officials to circulate letters to different churches to ban any activities.  If the churches don’t abide by these rules the extremist Muslims will come and burn or otherwise destroy church buildings.

According to Afghan law, Islam is the only official religion, and if anyone changes his belief, he is punished by death.

Recently two Christian Algerians were sentenced to six months in prison with a fine of $1,560.00.  Their crime, according to the authorities, was that they were illegally promoting their Christian faith among Muslims, thus aiming to weaken the Muslim faith.

In the Northwestern part of Pakistan, there is a strong influence of “radical Muslims.”  From time to time Christians are given written warnings to accept Islam or be responsible for their own deaths.  Sadly, Christians are living under hostile conditions not only in the cities but also even in villages.  They are not allowed to build churches.

Palestinian Conflict

The men stormed the building and detonated two homemade explosive devices inside the library.  All 8,000 books in the library were destroyed and the floor, walls and ceiling were damaged.  The attackers stole computers and other equipment from other YMCA offices.

Ethiopian Persecutions

Muslim Christian converts, Jemmal Abdo and his wife, were beaten and chased out from a mosque where they both worked, inside the capital city of Addis Ababa.  “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.  This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.  And their righteousness is from me,” says the Lord, (Isaiah 54:17).

Ex-Muslims speak out

When anyone rejects or condemns Islamic barbaric teachings, right away the Muslim world feels that Islam is being threatened.  The Muslims will openly and angrily abuse and insult them.  A fatwa (religious ruling/opinion) is issued against them.  In fact, anyone who questions or reports about Islam’s brutality, makes a documentary film, or writes a book, telling the truth, about Islam, immediately, their lives are in danger.  Even though they are given police protection, they eventually have to go into hiding.

Christians all over the world are repeatedly persecuted, tortured and killed.  The reality is that there is no freedom of religion in Islamic countries.  The little freedom Christians do have is slowly vanishing away.  Every day more and more Islamic nations move toward the implementation of Sharia (Islamic) Law in their constitution.

During the month of Ramadan in Muslim countries

During this “holy” month, it is strictly prohibited to eat or drink in public or in front of any Muslim individual.  The Muslim believe that their fast will be broken and their faith shaken by just the sight and smell of food.

How interesting that “interfaith movements” and “Islamic harmony” activists will not condemn the religious brutality toward Christians in their countries.  If they call the killing of innocent people “peace,” then I denounce that peace.

It’s not “peace” as peace has been defined in the West.  Peace as defined in Islamic nations means that everyone must submit to the authority of Islam regardless of his religion.  If you are within the boundaries of this kind of peace-Islam “peace” – then you are safe.  But the moment you cross the line, you are targeted to be killed.  There is no tolerance of any other faith; one must live in complete submission to Islamic teachings and humility to Allah and his prophet Muhammad, in order to avoid the wrath of Islam (the “sword of Islam”).

Whenever any issues occur by the Muslims, we beat around the bush and ignore the brutality of the incident.  Islamic teaching terrorizes us.  They enjoy seeing the enemies of Allah suffer.  (View Pages 53-54 the New Jersey story)

If You Receive An Invitation

Ask them in a gracious manner why Christians are not allowed to construct church buildings or even a simple hall for worship in their home countries.  Ask them why someone’s life is instantly in danger when he refutes, questions, or leaves Islam.  Ask them why are the rights of Christians who have been living in those counties for centuries are different thatn the rights of Muslims?

Let Us Remember

Muslims must quit living in the fantasy that the world belongs to Islam alone.  They must realize that they don’t have the right to force their religion on others.  People who choose a different religion should have the same “freedom of religion” that Muslims have.

“Freedom of religion” (from an Islamic perspective), however, means only Islam.  Its rules and tenets are the final authority.  “Justice” to a Muslim always means Sharia Law.  There is no lenience.

We do not see “peace” in the Islamic states around the world, yet, they preach about “peace.”  They should therefore demonstrate it to the world.

If they cannot live with the simple principle of letting others live in peace and freedom, then the interfaith movement is simply a total deception.  Remember the meaning of “al-taqiyya”!
