ISLAM: Muslims vs. Christians
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 9 years, 9 months AGO
Agree with Shahram Hadian’s analysis of the Islamic threat on some points, but I strongly disagree on others. For example, “Radical Islam is a creeping menace in the world and it won’t rest until all are subject to Islamic or Sharia law.” This statement would be true if one were to remove the word “Radical” from the sentence. If it were just radical Islam, Mr. Hadian, then where is the public outrage on behalf of the other billion Muslims scattered across the world?
A billion “moderate Muslims” will endorse a death sentence (a fatwa) issued on one who writes something in a book that they don’t like, but they will not stand up in unison to oppose a small band of their billion who rips off their entire religion and repeatedly commits the worst crimes against humanity of our time, in the very name of that religion. If the billion really wanted to stop this small band in their tracks — could they?
So why don’t they? Abul Ala Mawdudi (1903-1979) had the answer to that question. Mawdudi based his ideology on the sovereignty of Allah because he believed, as do all Muslims, that only Allah had right to rule in human affairs, making him the supreme legislator of all mankind. Human beings have no right to make up their own laws or to control their own destiny.
But don’t Christians who believe in the sovereignty of God possess the same ideology? Yes, but with a major difference. We Christians would love to see the entire world submit to our God’s will in all things, but we are told in our sacred book that this is not going to happen until after the judgment where the sheep are separated from the goats. The entire world will have submitted to God when only the sheep are left, and that will not occur until after the 1,000-year reign of Christ on this Earth. Genuine Christians are willing to wait; Muslims are not.
Ironically, Muslims have been instructed by Allah to take control of their own destiny here and now by implementing Allah’s judgment here and now on the rest of the world, and historically this judgment begins in earnest with the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate, not a radical only Islamic Caliphate. Make no mistake about it, all one billion seek and support the establishment of this caliphate. A few might silently lament the heinous crimes that are being committed in mass in order to expedite the reality of this caliphate, but even they understand that it’s necessary.
Allah and the Christian God are NOT the same God. The Christian God has a Son who gave His life to pay penalty for man’s sins so salvation could be offered universally. Allah has no son. You can’t be a God who has a Son and a God who has no son, at the same time, and be the same God. From my Christian perspective, Allah is not only a false god, but, like all false gods, is a real symbol of Satan. This, and this alone, accounts for the fact that they can commit heinous crimes against humanity in the name of good, and do it with relative impunity. Until the rest of the world awakes to the fact that all Muslims are Satan worshipers they will continue successfully in their quest of world conquest.
