Terrorism forms a sizeable part of
Islamic activity. Islam officially condemns terrorism, but it draws a clear
distinction between terrorism and that of fighting "alien domination." This of
course, provides Islamic legality for the numerous brutal conflicts around the
globe where the Muslims are fighting for a number of independent states. In
the U.K over a thousand churches have been turned into mosques, with hundreds
more in the planning..In Typical western naiveté, Western leaders have opened
up their country's doors to a Muslim immigration that could eventually destroy
Western culture. In some country's, like Saudi Arabia, no religion apart from
Islam is tolerated, not even in private homes. It is illegal to be overheard
praying in Jesus Name, not a single church building exists there and there is
a US$10,000 reward paid by the Saudi government to anyone who unearths a house
church.
 Islam regards suicide as
sin. However, one of Egypt's most influential Muslim leaders, Muhammed Sayyed
al-Tantawi, chief sheik of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque, ruled that
A Muslim who serves as a human bomb in
order to take Jewish lives along with his own--or the lives of anyone declared
to be an enemy--is not a sinful suicide, but a noble shadid (martyr), "a holy witness" to the justice of the Arab/Muslim cause.
The same Muslim cleric noted that Islam
forbids the murder of children, old and helpless people. On this he ruled that
Jews are "attackers," and therefore not
entitled to exemption as "aged, child or woman." And the shahid
who takes such Jewish lives is considered to have acted in self-defense.
Islam has fed on violence and deceit
from its inception. It has spread like a cancer and has proven to be equally
as deadly. Muhammed's expression of delight, 'Allahu ahkbar!' (Allah is
greater!), became the Muslims battle cry. The sound of 'Allahu ahkbar!'
rings out as suicide bombers detonate themselves in the midst of Israeli
civilians. It resonates from the lips of Arabs as they plunge their knives
into the backs of unsuspecting Israeli, men women and children. The cry of
'Allahu ahkbar!' reverberates not only throughout the cities and towns of
Israel, but also across the entire world. It sanctifies Islamic murder and
mayhem and turns it into divine injunctions from Allah.
While love is the typical Christian
attitude, love for good carries with it a corresponding hatred for what is
wrong. And while I loathe Islam, I do not hate Muslims. Yeshua loves the
sinner but hates the sin. He commended the church of Ephesus for hating the
actions of a particular group of people...
"But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,
which I also hate". (Rev 2:6)
