15 And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath
said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be My people.
17 Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty”
(2 Cor. 6:14-18).
1. We don’t judge Islam based on the
actions of the Muslims who slaughter people in the name of Allah or rape their women
captives, beat their wives to submission, etc. We are only explaining what it
teaches. We judge Islam based on the teachings and examples of Mohammed.
The
teachings of Mohammed promote Jihad. Here
are a few of the instructions given to all Muslims according to their Koran:
a) Slay
the unbelievers wherever you find them (Koran 2:191). By killing an infidel,
you are assured a place in heaven.
b) Muslims
must not take the unbelievers as friends (Koran 3:28).
c) Any
other religion apart from Islam is not acceptable (Koran 3:85).
d) Maim
and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam (Koran 5:33).
e) Terrorize
and behead those who believe in the Scriptures other than the Koran (Koran
8:12).
f)
Muslims must muster all weapons to
terrorize the infidels (Koran 8:60).
g) The
unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (Koran 8:65).
h) Whenever
opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you find them (Koran 9:5).
i)
The Jews and Christians are
perverts, fight them (Koran 9:30).
j)
Make war with the infidels living in
your neighborhood (Koran 9:123).
k) Punish
the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water, melt
their skin and bellies (Koran 22:19).
l)
Do not hanker for peace with the
infidels; behead them when you catch them (Koran 47:4).
m) Koran
does not teach salvation through Jesus Christ, but it gives Him the greatest
prominence.
n) Muslims
hate everything that has to do with Christianity. They are always happy when
they see Christians unhappy. They enjoy hearing that Christians are suffering.
Should
we judge Islam based on the activities of some Muslims? No! We should judge
Islam based on the teachings and examples of Mohammed who:
1.
Was convinced at one point that he was demon-possessed (IBN ISHAQ 106).
2.
Tried repeatedly to commit suicide (IBN ISHAQ 106; BUKHARI 6982).
3.
Admittedly delivered revelations from the devil (IBN ISHAQ 165-6; IBN SA’D
1:236-9);
4.
Complained that he was a victim of a magic spell that gave him delusional
thoughts and false beliefs (BUKHARI 3175, 5765).
5.
Supported his religion by robbing people (IBN ISHAQ 281-289).
6. Started a war with Mecca when he had a chance
to live in peace in Medina (IBN ISHAQ 289-321).
7.
Had people assassinated for criticizing his religion (IBN ISHAQ 289-321).
8.
Beheaded hundreds of Jews for trying to defend themselves once they realized
that he was eliminating them (IBN ISHAQ 464; TABARI 8:27-41).
9.
Ordered his followers to execute anyone who leaves his religion (BUKHARI 6878,
6922).
10.
Commanded his followers to violently subjugate the entire world (QUR’AN 9:22;
MUSLIM 7258).
11.
Torture people for money (IBN ISHAQ 515).
12.
Bought, sold, owned and traded black African slaves (BUKHARI 6161, 7263).
13.
Called Ethiopians “RAISEN HEADS” and claimed that Satan looks like a black man
(BUKHARI 7142; IBN ISHAQ 243).
14.
Had sex with a 9-year old girl (BUKHARI 3895, 5133).
15.
Had at least 9 wives at one time even though his own revelation only allowed
four (BUKHARI 268, 5068, 5215).
16.
Married the wife of his adopted son after causing the divorce by lusting after
her (QURAN 33:37; TABARI 8:2-3).
17.
Had sex with his slave girls (QURAN 33:50; NASA’I 3411).
18.
Broke the promise he made to his wives that he would stop having sex with his
slave girls after he was caught with a slave girl in the bed of his wife Hassa
(QUAAN 66:1-2; NASA’I3411).
19.
Allowed his followers to rape their female captives (QURAN 4:24; ABU DAWUD
2155).
20.
Took the most beautiful captives back to his own tent (BUKHARI 4200
21.
Told his followers that they could beat their wives to submission (QURAN 4:34;
IBN MAJAH 1986).
23.
Declared that women are stupid and that their testimony is unreliable (QURAN
2:282; BUKHARI
24.
Promoted idolatrous pagan practices like kissing the black stone and bowing to
the Kaaba (BUKHARI 1597: QURAN 2:144).
25.
Repeated stories based on forgeries and passed them on as revelations from God (QURAN
6:25, 8:31, 16:103).
27.
Portrayed God as deceptive and Jesus as a complete failure (QURAN 3:54, 4:157,
7:99).
28.
Has kept more people from knowing the true God than any other false prophet in
history.
So
if we judge Islam by Mohammed, what can we conclude? Worst religion ever!
But
we need to be consistent here! What about Christianity? Should we judge
Christianity based on the activities of some Christians? No! We should judge
Christianity based on the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ who:
1.
Created the universe (Jn. 1:1-3;
Col. 1:16).
2.
Sustains the universe by the Word of
His power (Col. 1:17; Heb. 1:3).
3.
Laid aside His glory so that He
could enter creation as a human being to suffer for our sake (Jn 1:14; Phil.
2:5-11).
4.
As to His human nature was born of a
virgin (Matt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:26-38).
5.
Fulfilled dozens of OT prophecies
(Isa. 53; Ps. 22).
6.
Miraculously fed thousands of people
on more than one occasion (Matt. 14:13-21; Mk.8:1-9).
7.
Walked on water
8.
Could rebuke the storm (Matt.
8:23-27). He could calm storms by speaking to them.
9.
Healed the sick (Matt. 14:14; Lk.
5:15).
10.
Cleansed the lepers (Matt. 8:1-3;
Lk. 17:11-19).
11.
Cast out demons (Lk. 7:11-17; Jn.
11:38-44).
12.
Raised the dead (Lk. 7:11-17; Jn.
11:38-44).
13.
Made the lame walk (Mk. 6:45-52).
14.
Gave sight to the blind (Matt.
11:4-5; Mk. 7:32-35).
15.
Gave hearing to the deaf (Matt.
11:4-5; Mk. 7:32-35).
16.
Gave hope to the oppressed (Lk.
4:16-21).
17.
Lifted them that were bowed down
(Lk. 13).
18.
Confronted and rebuked their
oppressors (Matt. 23:1-33).
19.
Broke down barriers that kept people
divided by race, class, colour, gender (Gal. 3:28).
20.
Ordered His followers to love
everyone including their enemies (Matt. 5:43-48).
21.
Commanded His followers not to use
violence in His name ((Matt. 26:52; Jn. 18:36).
22.
Endured torture and death for our
sins (Mk. 10:45; Heb. 12:2).
23.
Told the Father to forgive those who
crucified Him (Lk. 23:34).
24.
Rose from the dead (Mk. 16:1-8; 1
Cor. 15:3-8).
25.
Gives us His righteousness so that
we can know God (Rom. 5:17; 2 Cor. 5:21).
26.
Intercedes with the Father on our
behalf (Heb. 7:25).
27.
Will eventually judge the whole
world (Jn. 5:22; Matt. 25:31-46).
So, if we judge Christianity by Jesus,
what can we conclude? Best message ever! Now that we have judged Islam and
Christianity by the teachings and life of Mohammed and Jesus Christ
respectively, how is that working out for you?
2.
Consider the difference between Christianity and Islam: Jesus Christ or Mohammed!
Who is more powerful?
- Mohammed disciples killed innocent people for the faith. Christ’s disciples were killed for their faith.
- Mohammed was a prophet of war, but Christ is the Prince of Peace.
- Mohammed promoted persecution against the infidels. Christ forgave the people who persecuted Him.
- Mohammed was a taker of life. Christ is a giver of life.
- Mohammed and his followers murdered thousands. Christ murdered none but gave life to many.
- Mohammed practiced force. Christ preached faith.
- Mohammed was a warrior. Christ is a deliverer.
- Mohammed is dead and gone forever. Jesus was dead, risen and is alive forever more.
- Mohammed maintains that the masses must convert to Islam of die. Christ said believe in Him and live.
- Mohammed was swift to shed blood. Christ shed His own blood so that you and I ‘;
- might have eternal life.
- Mohammed preached death to the infidel. Christ prayed for the infidels saying, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
- Mohammed constrained people by conquest. Christ was constrained by love.
- Mohammed ordered death to the Jews. Christ was a Jew.
- The Koran says, “Fight and slay pagans wherever you find them.” Christ said love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
- The Koran said, “I will inspire terror into the heart of the unbeliever.” God showed His love to the unbeliever (Jn. 3:16).
- The Koran condones terrorism, fighting, genocide to those who do not accept Islam. The Bible is a manual of Good News to the world.
- The mission of Mohammed was to conquer the world for Allah. The mission of Christ was to conquer death hell, and the grave for us.
- Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet. Christ said that Mohammed is a false prophet.
- Mohammed said that there is one God, Allah. Christ claimed that He is God manifest in the flesh.
Question? Who do you think is more powerful?
Jesus for sure is more relevant and powerful. Therefore, you should choose
Jesus and not Jihad. You should choose Jesus Christ and escape eternal
destruction in hell. I advise you not to argue. The choice is yours!
