what do you think of this?

Question

i thought this was interesting. also there was a documentary on the history channel where osama bin laden was quoted as saying something like "you(americans, etc.)want to live we(terrorist)want to die"
anyway i'm not saying all believers of islam are terrorist, but all terrorist claim to muslim. i do realize with any belief there are always extremist.
now i have a question for you, or anyone who always opposes. instead of critizing, bad mouthing, judging and shutting down others what is your solution? what is your idea, how do we fix this, what steps do we take?

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: “Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in Heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?" There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers! “I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?” The _expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
He sheepishly replied, "Yes". I then stated, "Well, Sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John
> Paul II commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith, or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!" The Imam was speechless. I continued, "I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. "Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?" You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the "Diversification" training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic
> Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim beliefs. I think everyone in the U.S. Should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized.
This is a true the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

Answer 1

I think you are about two steps away from being a terrorist yourself. And by the way, there have been LOTS of terrorists in history, not all of them Islamic.

The first step is to say "My beliefs are superior to those of others"

The second step is to say "those of other beliefs are dangerous and/or outright immoral"

The third step is to say "Those of other beliefs shouldn't have their beliefs protected while those who believe like me should be given special consideration"

And the last is to bring it all together and say "All those who do not believe as I do (infidels) should be killed."

Like I said, you are two steps away buddy. Be proud.

Answer 2

Very interesting reading.

Answer 3

Well, I think most people educated in religion are familiar with this. Then there are the apologists, who insists it's taken out of context. I dunno how--it's right there.
But maybe some day people will wake up.
