I hope you will read this and then pass it on. WHAT'S AN
INFIDEL?

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.


The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races!

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 each explained their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say.

The Muslim 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 Muslim 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 k*****g 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 k**l everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in 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 The Pope commanding all Catholics to k**l those of your faith or Dr.Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Muslim was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to k**l me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to k**l me in order for you 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 there 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 my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the t***h about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim v**ers in the U.S. to elect the President!

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference....

(FOR CHRIST'S SAKE....SEND THIS ON . . .)

For the record: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/allah.asp

I doubt the veracity of anything from Snopes as it is a liberal front, but they do have it listed on their site. It is therefore not surprising to find discrepancies with their account.

Also, with respect tho the questions posted about Christianity, if find it amusing that every time someone has an issue with Christianity, they always choose a reference to the Old Testament to make their point. It's amusing as Christianity is based on the New Testament, and that the New Testament is the lens that Jesus gave us to understand God's true intent with respect to the old testament. Anyone who goes to those old testament arguments clearly do not understand what Christianity is all about.

What you say is true. There are many who are believers in name only. They claim their faith, but do not adhere to the tenets of that faith. Another word for them is "hypocrite". An alternative name for them is "acculturated". I think this is where the majority of people fall. They were raised under a faith, but never truly embraced it. Consequently, they continue to profess because it is what they grew up with, and they really don't understand (nor necessarily believe) the faith of their childhood.

Like I said, the majority of people are merely acculturated. To know where a faith truly stands, you have look at their defining documents. In this regard, you will find that Islam and Christianity (re: Qu'ran and Bible) are polar opposites. In fact, Islam more resembles a complete refutation (an antithesis) of the Bible.

I've read enough to know that it must not be allowed to get a real toe-hold in America...Color me crazy, but I am not really worried about Islam insisting on coming to America. What really worries me is how PC our government officials want to be and want us to be re Islam. If Islam is prevented from taking over America it will be the citizens who stop it - it certainly won't be the chickens in DC who stop it. I am fed up with all the pansy treatment our "leaders" seem to gain some strength in doing.

Thanks for the post. It's a good one!
