The Muslims' statement of faith:
ادْعُ إِلِى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ (16:125)
Call thou [all mankind] unto thy Sustainer's path with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly manner - for, behold, thy Sustainer knows best as to who strays from His path, and best knows He as to who are the right-guided. alQur'an 16:125
The Quran tries to promote this feeling of gratitude by repeating the attributes of God very frequently.We find most of these attributes mentioned together in the following verses of the Quran: "All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (59:22-24) A believer loves, and is grateful to God for the bounties He bestowed upon him, but being aware of the fact that his good deeds, whether mental or physical, are farfrom being commensurate with Divine favors, he is always anxious lest God should punish him, here or in the Hereafter. Although the Koran is the main information source for understanding the oneness of God in Islam, Allah himself is beyond the range of human vision, and must be revealed through the Islamic prophesy known as the Tawhid. "Tawhid" is the Muslims way of life (Shar-iah). In fact, the Muslims declare that Allah is both the creator and sustainer of the universe, and is also the foundation upon which the Islamic government is built, and its system of justice. The Shariah, or Islamic law is the proper law, and those holding government posts should have knowledge of Sharia. Where the United States have appointed officials for deciding on the various issues concerning the laws in America, the Islamic government is very much different. ♦ Now consider Khilafat. According to the Arabic lexicon, it means ‘representation’. Man, according to Islam, is the representative of Allah on earth, His vicegerent.
♦That is to say, by virtue of the powers delegated to him by Allah, he is required to exercise his Allah-given authority in this world within the limits prescribed by Allah.
♦ The nation of Islam upholds a political theory nobody in the United States wants to accept or be forced to serve under. That is one reason we, the U.S. of America is constantly at war with Iraq, because of their intentions to force their beliefs in Allah on all non-Muslims, including the world and the U.S. They want to do away with American Democracy.
♦ Another reason that Muslims continue to terrorize Christians, and other parts of the world at which Islamic beliefs is rejected is that the Muslims want to try and turn the entire world into the nation of Islam, making all states that exists on the face of the earth, a Muslim state, which will not happen, and if it does, the faithful Christians who stand their ground, may be persecuted, but they will inherit God's blessings. - foretold by Jesus Christ. ↓see "The Last Days."↓
Now that we have gotten the basics of the Islamic law and their belief in Allah as the sustainer of all that there is, now we will look at some of the inconsistent behaviors of Muslims in contrast to their declaration of 'human rights.' Their human rights provisions makes it clear that Muslims are not supposed to kill other human beings, regardless of their race or nationality, while at the same time, misrepresenting Allah by associating him with their personal or prejudice causes. For example, If I am a good Samaritan, but a non-Muslim, and my deeds are respectful to other human beings, then I have the right to expect help and support from another Muslim, even if there is no relationship status between us. And also, that same provision stated in that same article reads that even if I am a Muslim, but if my deeds are evil, then I am still a brother, but only one who is not subject to the support of other "righteous" Muslim brothers. The hypocrisy is that the Muslims do continue to terrorize Christian communities, force people to convert to Islam, torture Christian converts, which means that they do not live according to the teachings of the Qu'ran for one, and 2nd, they do not seek peace accordingly, living up to the meaning of "Islam (peace)." Remember that 'Islam' connotes "peace." Muslims do just the opposite. The 1st system of governance established in Islam, and which represented the political authority and unity of the Muslim community is called the 'Caliphate.' Yet, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, and also the fastest growing nation, which has impacted several cities all over the world with its influence of Islamic teachings, system of government, beliefs in the Shariah, the Koran, and teachings from the Tahwid. People of all races, religions, descent, and backgrounds have converted to Islam, and in other instances, they are forced to convert to Islam, or face persecution, but I'll discuss this later.
While Islam presents itself as the only way of life for people to achieve salvation in the after-life, it also teaches its followers to live up to high standards in conduct with other human beings, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, race, language or culture. Islam wants its adherents to be just to every human being. "Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression." (The Quran 5:2).
"And do not let ill-will towards any folk incite you so that you swerve from dealing justly. Be just; that is nearest to heedfulness" (The Quran 5:8). And in another place, "Indeed, the noblest among you before God are the most heedful of you" (49:13).In other words the superiority of one man over another is only on the basis of God-consciousness, purity of character and high morals, and not on the basis of colour, race, language or nationality, and even this superiority based on piety and pure conduct does not justify that such people should play Lord or assume airs of superiority over other human beings. Why is it that we hear and see something totally different in the media concerning Jihaad by the Muslims?

Why is it that we hear and see something totally different in the media concerning Jihaad by the Muslims?
I want to state that the Koran, written in and round about 600 A.D. (after death of Christ), denies that Allah has a son, and that Jesus Christ was only a prophet of God. Even if it was true that Jesus Christ was only a prophet of God, then why would God send a message by one prophet, and turn around and send a different message by another prophet (Muhammad) whose message is totally different from the prophecies of Jesus and other prophets whom God had spoken to before by his Holy spirit? witnessed by the apostles John, Peter, Mark, Paul, and Timotheus, and including Luke, who was a doctor? According to my knowledge, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In the book of Revelation, it is written, "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; If anyone takes away any words from this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the Holy City that are described in this book. Revelation 22:18-19And in another section of the same book, it is written, "He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life." Revelation 21:5-6 Therefore, according to my understanding of these verses, "He who sits on the throne," said...
Now the question is why God would say something different to the Islamic nation?
It must be true then that the God of Islam (Allah) is not the same God that is testified of in the Holy Bible. The Muslims worship a different God. I have nothing against their language, if Allah is "God" in the Arab language, then it is what it is. Likewise, "Dios" is God in Spanish to the people of that language, but that does not change the truth of God and his son Jesus Christ. When it comes to doctrine and truth, Jesus Christ is the "authorand finisher"of the faith, and there is only one faith, one body (the body of Christ), one baptism (the Holy Spirit), and one God who is above all, and who works in and through all. This testimony is not just mine, but it also God's testimony, and Islam does not receive this testimony. Take heed, any spirit that does not confess that Jesus is the Christ and that he is Lord (in my words) is not of God. And any spirit that does is of God. The spirit of Muslims who persecute non-Muslims have been tested - all are not of God. Amen. I think that at this point it would be a good idea for me to go ahead and point out the flaws in some of the beliefs of Islam, and the teachings of the Qur'an (Koran). The Muslims will admit that Jesus Christ was a good prophet, although they do not believe that he was killed, but that he escaped death and ascended into the kingdom of heaven. Even an atheist in his/her right mind can see the flaw in this belief. However, a bulleted list will express my point a lot better.
- * The purpose Jesus Christ was to abolish the penalties that would be faced for being a sinner. Why would Christ come to do what only all the other prophets did with no results? Conquering spiritual death had to be a part of God's plan. And not only spiritual death, but physical death in due time when Christ returns to raise us up who have continued to believe in Him for salvation, on the appointed day. In fact, Jesus did die by the hands of sinners so that the penalty of death (sin) and condemnation would be upon him, and not us who believe.
- * The Muslims believe that Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, but that's as far as it goes. According to the bible, Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, was seated on God's Right Hand, and was given the authority by God the Father to judge all nations, and if he will judge all nations, wouldn't that include the nation of Islam?? [notice the 2 question marks].
- * The Muslims do not believe that "Allah" has a son. Well, according to the bible, it is written, "At Jesus� baptism in the Jordan, the voice of the Father was heard��This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mathew 3:16-17(paraphrased) God's words was, "Hear him." God made it clear that all mankind is to hear him.
* According to Muslims,
"THERE IS NO DEITY WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH, AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER " [God forbid this lie].
- * Islam connotes peace. One of the prerequisites of Islam is peace. Indeed, God is Peace (Al-Bukhari). Need I remind you that Jesus was not sent to bring peace, but a 'sword.' Many people today in a number of other faiths emphasize peace, but we who know better will adhere to the warning of the Lord, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword," Matthew 10:34 The first important observation is to recognize that Jesus does not speak about "the sword", but about "a sword". Jesus is not a prophet of the sword. The sword of violence, force and war has no place in his message. What kind of sword is Jesus describing to us? The above passage verse speaks about the consequence of being obedient to the commands of Jesus that we are to preach and obey his Word above all other things. Some will listen and accept it but many will reject it and react violently.
- * To the Muslims, Paradise is the ideal human abode, thus, the Home of Peace; following this teaching by the Koran is that reconciliation is best (4:128), and it indicates that the social culture of the people of Paradise will be based upon peace. They will wish peace one to another. This is a contradiction which reflects the teachings of the Honorable Prophet Muhammad in other parts of the Koran. Allah is the Creator, Sustainer and Master of the universe and of all that exists in it, organic or inorganic. The sovereignty of this kingdom is vested only in Him. "He alone has the right to command or forbid. Hence, it is not for us to decide the aim and purpose of our existence or to set the limits of our authority; nor is anyone else entitled to make these decisions for us. This right rests only with Allah." My question to you is this, do you see the contradiction is this teaching from the Tawhid? The nation of Islam continues to limit people's lives and will to either serving Allah, or facing death by stoning, executions, honor killings, and beheadings. I don't condone homosexuality, fornication, adultery, nor do I accept it as a part of standard living according to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Although they do exist in the world we live in, yet, I do not believe that I or anyone else have the right to carry out God's judgement. I do believe in the Federal, State, and City laws that were made to protect lawful citizens, and serve justice, but not that they should be made to take the lives of people who choose to live an alternative lifestyle. God will judge the ungodly on the appointed day. Islam's got a different system of justice to the people who commit such acts. The Lord of Glory will judge mankind.
- * The sovereignty of this kingdom is vested only in Allah. But if Allah is the only God, then why do Muslims persecute Christians who are the children of God Himself, and they being the children of His kingdom, forced to convert to Islam in some parts of the earth? If Allah himself does not kill mankind for their straightway disobedience, but preserves his judgement on an appointed day, what gives the Muslim leaders the authority to do so, or command it? The bible records Christ's words, "The kingdom of God is of righteousness, peace,and joy of the Holy Spirit." Romans 14:17 According to the bible, the Kingdom of God is within (or among) people. There is one incident recorded in the bible where it tells of Jesus' disciples asking him to send down fire from heaven to consume the people who did not accept Jesus, but Jesus turned and rebuked his disciples and went into another villiage. Jesus' attitude is opposite of the Muslims' intentions to kill non-Muslims. It was clearly understood that after Christ's ministry to the children of Abraham who were heirs of the promise, and the discipleship of his followers that his (Christ's) kingdom was not of this world, meaning "army forces." For although we are in the world, the weapons that we fight with are not carnal, but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Here's the verse: For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the world. Instead, they have the power of God to demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2Corinthians 10:4-5 Yes, it's true that the kingdom of God is under Christ's Lordship, and the apostleship was given to Christ's disciples to preach and teach the gospel of Christ to the world. Unlike the Muslim leaders, the apostles did not gather together armies to persecute non-Christians, those who rejected Christ's teachings, nor did they go on killing rampages, or do honor killings and jihad, and neither did they incriminate the people who did not convert to Christianity under the authority of Jesus Christ. God's/Allah's kingdom is not made up of such forces. "We are the ambassadors of Christ."- words of the apostle Paul. Obviously, it was not a part of God's divine plan for Christians to use the weapons of carnal warfare, or military forces to seize non-believers - what good would that do for the Almighty God? In spite the fact that God's kingdom is not made up of such carnal forces, and that the kingdom is Christ's, then under what authority do the Muslims persecute any other nation for that matter? The fact that Christians are undergoing continuous persecutions at the hands of Muslim forces and their reason for killing Christians is absurd. Churches are blown up, Christian leaders are threatened, Christian families are afraid for their lives, and many on other occasions are forced to convert to Islam or face death. This has got to be the act of evil, very wicked and ungodly, and was ordered by man, and not God. This was indeed prophesied by Jesus himself, that such things would happen in THE LAST DAYS. Jesus prophesied that Christians or believers in him, in the last days, would be arrested and killed simply because of their faith in him, and that Christians would be hated by all nations. And anyone who reads the bible passage Matthew 24:9, should not be surprised to hear about it in the media.
- * Islam: The medium through which we receive the law of Allah is known as 'Risalat.' We have received two things from this source: the Book in which Allah has set out His law, and the authoritative interpretation and exemplification of the Book by the Prophet, blessings and peace be on him through word and deed, in his capacity as the representative of Allah. A Muslim's mission is 1, to be earnest in his duty to Allah, and fellowship with those who are truthful to him as well. 2, Acknowledge that the only authoritative messenger through which Allah's law is recieved is the Risalat, or ar-Risālameaning that the scriptures revealed from through a Messenger To understand this concept, you must also know that Muslims exemplifies by example, the meaning of messenger, prophet, and wiseman in their relationship with Angels and God.
- * According to my understanding, Jesus Christ himself was worshipped by the angels of God. It is written, "And again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." Hebrews 1:6 Muslims will tell you that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was given the message by the angel Gabriel, who also worshipped Jesus Christ. Yes, it's true that if the verse reads, "Let all God's angels worship him," then would this include the angel Gabriel, regardless of his ranking amongst other angels? The apostle Paul warned us about such things in one of his letters to the church, not to be carried to and fro by every wind of doctrine, and the doctrine of angels. The truth is that the only angels that are at work in this world are those spirits that are working through the children of disobedience. It is written, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
- * Now you ask, "what is the kingdom of God, and what is it about?"
- *Is it about gathering together forces to take over the world, trying to convert it by any means necessary, even if it means killing other human beings?? or..
- is the kingdom of God made up of righteousness, peace, and joy of the Holy Spirit? - this is what Jesus Christ said, and he also stated that his kingdom is not of this world. Now if Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, then it's got to be an eternal kingdom. Therefore, I put my faith in Jesus Christ, but the choice is up to you to believe. Will you accept the false teachings of Islam, or will you accept the truth as it is in Jesus Christ?
