An Observation : Allah or Jesus?

Question

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita
in the United States
Allah or Jesus?
By: Rick Mathes (he is a well known Leader in prison ministry).


Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam (cleric) 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 answers.

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 gotten 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 the Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Charles Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!"

The Imam was speechless.

I continued, "I also have 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's beliefs.

I think everyone in the US 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.

Answer 1

I really enjoyed this, and read it to my wife.
thank you for sharing.
the only problem is, when I post an answer, that Islamics disagree with, I get reported, and my answer is deleted. but I find it is worth the loss of point, by getting to say my peace.
of course I appeal, with no reply.
I only hope that your question is on long enough for a lot of people to read.
thank you again.

Answer 2

If this really is true and not just Muslim hate-mongering, I must say that is something every person should know about Islam... I will have to ask Muslims I know about this... frankly though, I think it's hypocritical of me to hold any one thing against Muslims while asking non-Christians to ignore the transgressions of so many of Christianity's leaders. The majority of Muslims are respectful and loving, and even show more veneration to Jesus than many Christians do (calling Him holy, and saying Praise Be Unto Him when speaking of Jesus... how many Christians do that?)

I am a follower of Jesus, but I admit that Christianity both in theory and in practice is divisive and exclusionary, so while it's good to learn the "ways of the enemy", it's every bit as important to make sure we show why Jesus deserves to be served, not just that you go to Hell for not serving Him... slightly off-topic, but since I had the soapbox.....

Answer 3

You are correct! Jesus died for our sins and rose once more the third day. He's surely alive in these days and plenty of hundreds of thousands, correctly probably two billion, recognise this absolutely. So, this could turn out the Quran misguided and fake. Those who've been searching for the reality with their entire hearts have observed it in Jesus. Those who simply desire excuses for his or her sins, or worldly tradition, do not uncover the reality. The fact will set you unfastened certainly. Jesus is the reality.

Answer 4

You my sister are correct
It is not that we all believe in God
It is that we Christians believe that Jesus die to give us a chance
The Quran plainly states that, Christians and Jews are second class citizens and that we will have a chance at Heaven....But it will be the second Heaven, because the first is for them.
A True Muslim is not to befriend a Jew or a Christian
Those regardless whether they believe in God or not are to be killed, if they do not convert to Islam. If you do not believe me then you can look this up on-line

Of course, They like the Christians and Jews, will fight against those who do not hold any beliefs at all(Pagans, Athesits,..etc...)

Answer 5

Right. The true and living God(Jesus) does not tell us to go and kill people to get into heaven. The only requirement for getting into heaven is believing in Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour.

As far as other people go, he said to go out into alll the world and preach His word. And those that wont listen, shake the dust from your feet and move on.

Answer 6

You are ignorant about Islam. Here is clear proof, accept it or ignore it and stay ignorant and continue to cause mischief.

Description of what a believer is in Islam

[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; ANYONE who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

Answer 7

the folkes in islam that teach the jihadi way are blind like a snake handling church,, taking a few suras and then extrapolating the results means that they forget the,, honor the people of the book ,,the prophet recognized that Jews and christians also worship the same god and so he told his followers to respect them and to instruct them in there folly so they can be converted not killed ,,

Answer 8

As a Christian I thank you for pointing this out. Jesus said there will be false prophets and anti-Christs in the last days. Jesus was right.

Answer 9

One small problem: Rick Mathes himself denies writing that - or that the incident even happened. It's an urban legend as far as I have heard. If it did happen, that version is blown waaayyy out of proportion.

Answer 10

Allah or Jesus? Both. Allah is simply Arabic for God, like El in Hebrew. God is the father of Jesus.
