Have I had the wrong attitude? Instead of giving up on Muslims, should I be loving them?

Question

I heard on the radio today, a so-called Christian was heard saying, "Just nuke all the Arabs and let God sort them out." The announcer asked us if we had that attitude? I immediately thought, Not me, but then he said if you are thinking they should be killed because they want to kill everyone else, you have the same attitude as this man. Instead, he said how God wants to send them a message of love through us.

I want to love them, but I would like them allow me to freely express my love and belief in Christ and I will allow them to express their love and belief in their God and prophet. As long as they swear not to use terrorism, I think we could talk about anything. We could agree to disagree, but we could also agree about being loving, forgiving, without prejudice, and we could all be free to worship whomever we want.

Does anybody think this could work?

Answer 1

Dude. you go hop on a spiritual couch and love'm to death.

YOU LOVE THEM BY NATURE AND PRAY FOR THEM. LET GOD DO THE SALVATION. You don't God know's this now?

YOU CAN'T FREELY SAY ANYTHING TOO A MUSLIM. HELLO?????

YOU WILL BE KILLED. HELLOOOOOOOOOOO??

If you are so spiritual ignorant to have to ask, about a religion that curses the very God you claim to love. YOU HURT AS A CHRISTIAN MY FRIEND.

JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF GAVE UP ON LOOSERS.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TRY TO OUT DO WHAT JESUS DID?

You, should listen more too what is truth than what you "think" Jesus would do.

There are many many many scriptures, telling you too KEEP ALOOF, STAY AWAY..IGNORE..KEEP FROMM...PEOPLE.

which one of these did you not read? Now, Lets talk obedience in God's word.

God Himself instructed Christians just what I told you. are you above God's Word? do you have a secret spiritiual plan that God overlooked? do you think. just maybe God, said this for a reason?

Answer 2

Christian or not, if you are not thinking about loving other human because of any religion,culture or race, something is wrong with you.
People today are more sensible than people in past and they have access to more information than the people in past.
The hate WILL end soon and let me assure you, it will be good.


To the person name Mr. Mister:
Spread as much hate you can, few days more and your own Christian brothers and sisters will shut you up.

I know it is very hard for you to believe that there is acually a religion outside of Christianity and actually makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus as a messenger of God, without any help of OT.
You on the other hand can't even prove Jesus WAS the Massiah, Moses was promised.

Answer 3

I read your question and despair, for inherant in it is the assumption that all muslims hate all Christians when your own example clearly demonstrates that it's a two way street where hate is concerned. The squeaky wheels get the most attention, that doesn't mean all wheels squeak. Christians as a group are as blood-thirsty as muslims -- in general terms, not very blood thirsty at all. (Look up the history of wahabbism -- it is the radical Islam that we all know and love today...the Muslims themselves deemed it heresy and stamped it out. The British forced it back into existence the 1930s and the US continued to propogate it for their own national interests in Saudi Arabia and the region more broadly -- to fight Russia in Afghanistan).
Jesus is a major part of Isam. His teachings are respected, he is a prophet, not the son of God, but he will still lead the charge come judgement day. Don't worry about giving up or loving Muslims. Learn a little bit about them first and you'll find common ground under a very shallow layer of idiocy that is present on all sides.

Answer 4

My friend, All muslims dont think and agree with what Osama does! Infact if I were to lay my hands on him, I would be the first to strangle him. Cause he is not an enemy just for the non muslims but muslims as well. This is because people like him with their ideologies are making everyone think that whatever they do is what Islam is all about. Unfortunately this is not true. So he is even a bigger enemy of Islam then to non muslims!! There are many muslims theologies and philosophies which pass the true message of Islam , just that in the limelight of the terrorist faction , the other thoughts and real meaning of Islam does not reach out!

Answer 5

I would like to congratulate you on your thinking. You really understand the meaning of Christianity. Christ said, "Love one another as I have loved you." He also said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Keeping this in mind we should understand that Christianity is based on LOVE. You must be knowing how the early christians conquered the Pagan Rome - yes not by fighting or cursing but by dying for Christ and never retaliating against the Roman Empire. We are supposed to love everyone...atleast we need to make a sincere effort. The rest is in God's Hands. He alone can change hearts.

Answer 6

Love and Hate arent the only emotions a human can have.
Maybe you should pick something else.

And maybe instead of just saying muslims, you should say people that just want to kill people.

By saying Muslims your being just like everyone else. By saying Muslims, you a step closer from getting your card invitiation into the Newly Formed Nazi Clan.

Dont point out the religion, point out the chararistics. Not all muslims are like that.

Answer 7

Christ says we are to love everyone as brothers... so yeah, you should. But at the same time, there's a difference between "Western" Muslims- the more conservative, live-and-let-live Muslims, as opposed to radical "Eastern" Muslims- traditional fundamentalists and Islamic terrorists who kills as many people they can, regardless of whether they're Sunni, Shiite, American, whatever.
If you're with a conservative Muslim who has no interest whatsoever in killing or maiming you, then go ahead, have a discussion with him. Just don't shove the Bible down his throat, and remember, actions speak louder than words. If you're going to share your beliefs with him, you better be able to SHOW him what Christianity's all about. You know the saying: you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?
But if you're in a Tel Aviv cafe, and armed, and a suicide bomber's about to detonate himself, obviously you shoot the maniac before he kills everyone in the place. Let him have his "discussion" with God when he reaches the Judgement seat.

(By the way, I use "Western" Muslims as designation for American and European Muslims , and "Eastern" for Middle East, for lack of better names.) There are exceptions on both sides, of course; naturally a lot of peaceful Muslims in the Middle East are fed up with Islamic terrorists.

Answer 8

if u believe or not, ISLAM only and only emphasis on spreading peace, love, tolerance and patience around the world. at least 98% of muslims are peace loving ppl. they do not want any disturbance in their lives as well as in other lives. my country have a lot of christians as well as hindus and jews. i dont remember even a single time that we had some quarral or arrgument amongst us. i have been studing in a muslim unversity where we had two churches for the chirstian students. me and my friends would love to go there in our free times to see christain marriages and other ceremonies. out of 7000 students hardly we had 500 of christains but God is witness that we never found ourselves different then them neither ever they felt they were aliens among us.
i dont know if LOVE would be the rite world to use when it comes to different races. my point of view, no one can LOVE all the persons from a different religion. it sounds unreal. but yes we can have tolerance, we can have patience. i dont know if there are really muslims hands behind all these terrorist acts but this is i know for sure that God knows the secrets. what media is saying, what newspapers are publishing and what few govts propagandas are, can never ever be 100% truth. to date nothing has been proved agaisnt muslims. they are just rumours. may be its a full fledge plan to destroy muslims for the sake of some personal benefits and interests. those govts. are deliberatly creating hate among different religions just to justify their false actions. and WE the fools are not understanding their tricks. just following them blindly.

about JIHAD concept i will just qoute one saying of Prophet Mohd PBUH, if u can understand it..... he said, " the ink of a scholar is more holy than the blood of martyr".

Answer 9

In an ideal world, we could all agree to disagree and there would be no wars. But agreeing to disagree goes against the very core of Christianity. Growing up Lutheran, I was taught to witness, witness, witness. Which means, you can't just let someone believe what they want. And that's also why I don't go to a Lutheran church anymore.

Answer 10

Wow. thank you to your question and prepared remark. at cases the assaults could properly be overwhelming, extraordinarily if i do no longer place self assurance in God's grace and capability to hold me by way of, yet there are hidden graces. no longer something has made me learn my faith extra proper than having to shield it. Apologetics makes a individual learn. It turns a individual right into a pupil of God with the intention to respond to questions and be a extra proper witness to human beings. The insults have additionally shown me that i'm basically a guy, and that i can't shoulder all of that abuse via myself. i choose God's help. The insults have made me comprehend this, which fosters a miles better dependence of Him. So, in essence, the assaults can serve to surely advance faith and thought. thank you returned, and God bless.
