[The thought being developed in last week’s article: Islam and Christianity are not compatible and Abraham is not the father of both belief systems.] So, this from the Koran 9:29 “Fight against those who (1) believe in Allah, (2) in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, (4) and those who acknowledge not as the religion of truth among the people of the Scripture, until they pay the Jizyah [religious tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people” 9:23 Many such verses are found in the Koran. Muslims are taught to fight any person who will not submit himself to Muslim beliefs and Sharia law. Here is a statement from a document of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is the father of Hamas and the promoter of terrorism in many countries. It is currently behind the unrest we are seeing in Egypt. Their intent is to take control of that country. The document is—“An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.” “The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from with-in and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” They have, from the beginning of Islam, attempted to rule others by persuasion, intimidation or Jihad. In fact, those who are the most faithful to Islam are those engaged in Jihad of the most vicious kind. That is what the Koran teaches. So, here is another specific from the Koran, verse 4:89, about non-Muslims— “Their real wish is to see that you become a disbeliever, as they themselves have disbelieved, so that you may become exactly like them. So you should not take friends from their ranks unless they immigrate in the way of Allah; and if they do not, seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take any of them as protectors or helpers.” They deny the deity of Jesus and the three persons of the Godhead. They accept Jesus but as just another pro-phet like Moses and Mohammad. The latter is the most important. Jesus was not raised from the dead. The Allah of Islam is not the God Abraham served. Allah has a character, copied by his followers, that in no way resembles the God of the Bible. The Jesus of Islam is not the Jesus of the Bible. The message of Islam is not that of the gospel of the Bible. The heaven of Islam is far different from that revealed to us in the Bible. The moral standards of Islam are in no way to be compared with that of the gospel of Christ. And, that is just the beginning. There can be no alliance nor fellowship with Islam, no “Chrislam.” Note these verses— "Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers…" 2 Cor. 6:14-15 | "Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God..." II John 9-11 | "...if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema." Galatians 1:6-9. article by Maurice Barnett contact him @ mjbarnett1@cox.net |
