Christians always tell us that their religion teaches them to "love your enemies" - using this logic why don't Christians love Osama Bin Laden etc - if not why not ? If you say no arent you saying your religion is wrong

With regards "Christians may start loving Osama and Zarqavi etc. as soon as muslims start loving Bush, Blair ." Islam doesnt require us to "love" our enemies -it requires us to do good to them and pray for their/our guidance and rectification- isnt it hypocritical to say"you must love someone", because love is an emotion which cant be controlled

Quran 41;34 Nor can goodness and Evil be equal.Repel (Evil) with what is better:Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!

We are not a people that are required to love wrong-doers. We must loath wrong actions, but at the same time we should love for the wrong-doers guidance because they are creatures of God and they were put here by the same God that put us here. And Allah says in the Quran “we made some of you a tribulation for others, will you then not show patience.” In other words, God set up the scenario, then asked the question: ‘will you then not show patience http://muslim-canada.org

We love them, so we do not want them to take any more sins upon their souls. We also want to help them see the errors of their ways and repent, so the God may forgive their sins.

You are kind of right. We are to "pray for our enemies." It's pretty hard to pray for someone and not have your heart softened toward them.

Here is how I look at Osama Bin Laden. He has rejected Jesus Christ, therefore he has no relationship with God. That does not mean God does not love him. God loves Osama Bin Laden like I love my son.

If my son had been one of the boys who flew a plane into the WTC, I would still love him, even though my heart would be broken. But that wouldn't mean he didn't deserve justice, and had he done that and somehow survived, I would be like everyone else and demand it.

Another dumb black kid who thinks Islam is a black religion...
Fool, don't you know Muhammed owned black slaves? Aren't you aware that to an Arabian, negroes were MEANT to serve as slaves? Are you REALLY that stupid?
No...I don't think you are stupid...but I do think you are being decieved. You are believing the nonsense about "white man's religion" when Jesus was NOT white...but the EXACT same race as Muhammed!! Think about it...Ishmael and Isaac HAD THE SAME FATHER!! Both boys were sons of Abraham...but Isaac, not Ishmael, was the legitimate son, and the son of promise. Ishmael became the leader of the Arabians...which means "Men in Ambush". You could read the history on this...but you'll believe anything your Arab "massa" tells ya, won't you?
Oh, by the way, Jesus did not own ANY slaves...but He did have friends. One of the first non-Jewish converts to Christianity was an Ethiopian. Philip converted him...you can read about it in Acts, the 8th chapter...verse 28 or thereabouts. The last I knew, Ethiopians are black people. So, yes, there have been black Christians from the very beginning of the Christian church.

Oh, best you hang on to that beanie and that rug...and put them chitlin's down, cuz when the "real" Muslims decide to pull some dumb terrorist act, they'll slit your throat even quicker than a white Christian's...just 'cuz you're black.

"Allah" means submission...that is...SLAVERY!! Allah wants you to be a SLAVE forever!! Jesus means freedom...for if the Son has set you free, then you are free indeed! The Son gives us the power to be SONS and DAUGHTERS of GOD!!!!!! Why would I choose to be a slave, when I can be a Prince or a Princess??

You are right, of course...Christians are supposed to love our enemies, including Bin Laden. Would you consider it "love" if I say to you that I wish for them the mercy of Christ? Would you consider it "love" if I say that I wish that all people everywhere, of every race, could know Jesus and the true love He teaches? Would you consider it "love" if I say to you that nothing would make me as happy as to be able to embrace all Muslims as brothers and sisters in Christ...yes, even YOU!! Put the hatred away, and learn to love and be loved...before it is too late!!
There are a great many black people in the Christian church who are very happy with their faith...with Jesus, there is no racism, sexism, or any other "ism". Those people, and their white, yellow, red, etc brothers and sisters are NOT SLAVES...they have found freedom in Christ..and NOT SUBMISSION! Freedom to love one another, because they are being made new men and women...freedom to put the history of hatred behind them and be friends...REAL freedom!!
Now, while it is true that not all Christians are as loving as Jesus commands them to be..no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to love someone who is likely to strap a bomb to his belt and blow himself up in the local day care center...it is still true that He does command us to LOVE one another...quite different from a "prophet" who claims that Allah wants his submissive SLAVES to kill anyone who won't mind...

i appreciate him as a lot as i appreciate my spouse and little ones. I do love him otherwise inspite of the indisputable fact that. fortunately for me, I worked in a field that gave me a attitude on all of it. i change right into a probation officer for 9 years. In that pastime, my objective is to assist human beings (criminals and their households) replace into what they must be. At each turn, it truly is the point. a lot of my co-workers suggested that I "cared" too a lot for them. at the same time inspite of the indisputable fact that, I carried a handgun 24/7. If the desire ever might want to have arisen the position I felt the favor to shoot someone, i might want to have placed 2 rounds in "middle mass" and ascertain that they could end doing inspite of risky component they were doing, in the present day. i do not call this "shoot to kill", yet quite "shoot to end", because it stops the unfavourable challenge - it truly is the point, not lack of life. lack of life might want to also take position, inspite of the indisputable fact that this is not the point. lower back to Osama and Charles - the significant purpose is they receive Christ. If what they're doing makes a topic so risky that the perfect reaction is capturing 2 into middle mass to cause them to end, then so be it - when they're released from the well being middle and incarcerated, we are able to minister to them. in the journey that they die contained in the capturing, then it wasn't meant to be.

True Christians do love everyone, even their so called enemies. We are instructed to even pray harder for those who offend, betray or hurt us.

Take Jonah (from the Bible) for instance. Jonah was running away when he ended up in the belly of the whale. He was running away from taking a message of repentence to the people of Nineveh. He felt like they did not deserve to be forgiven or saved caused they were so sinful and corrupt. He was trapped in the great fish to learn from GOD. GOD let him know that everyone deserves the right of repentence and frogiveness.

The Bible even says what gain is it to ove your friends, but to love your enemies is the true test of following GOD.

God is also a God of justice. When the Bible says that we are to Love our enemies what that means is that we are supposed to give them the Gospel. We should not say, "He doesn't deserve an opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior so I'm not going to tell him about Jesus." It is not my place to judge weather or not he DESERVES to hear the truth. It is my job as a Christian to give him the truth. Then it's up to him weather he accepts or rejects that truth. When we pray for them we pray for their salvation. This doesn't mean that a person doesn't get what they've got coming to them. If you have a child and that child does something wrong but you don't punish that child that is not justice....that is injustice. And if you punish that child does it mean that you hate the child? No, the Bible says that if we don't discipline a child that means that we hate the child.

Those of The True Christian Faith are as mortaly weak as an one else... we struggle with moral delemasall the time... and that is a difficult issue for many of us... The directive to Love when it means applying it to the likes of those strains the mortal flesh hard... but we must obay the command of our Lord... that dose not mean we alow them to get away with what they are doing...they are to be punished accourdingly when caught.... as sadam is about to find out.... God still loves satan(once known as Lucifer) but he commited an act that he must be punished for... God will cry when he has to carry out that decree

Who said we don't love them? They're just human beigns like all of us... but they're on the wrong side of the road, they just believe in the wrong non-sense religion and the god, who doesn't exist. I feel bad for them.
