The evils of Muhammad and Islam
Dear Australian Bishops
Below this email, I have compiled a brief discussion of the beliefs and practices of Islam. These are opposed to the teachings of Christianity, and it is not easy to imagine that Muslims and Christians worship the same God.
It appears to me that following the practices listed below is more likely to please Satan rather than God.
If this is true, then it is not possible to imagine that there are Muslims in Heaven. Rather, any Muslim who at death holds to this religion is destined for Hell.
The thought of 1.5 billion people now on earth finding out at death that they are damned for eternity is a most dreadful concept.
I believe that God expects us to do something about this, by reaching out to Muslims to convert as a matter of urgency. And to tell people considering conversion to Islam not to go there.
Bishops are appointed by God to teach the faith. I should be grateful if you could advise how this can be carried out.
Brief summary of Islamic beliefs and practices.
Islam is now the formal religion of 57 countries, most of which were formerly Christian, whose countries were invaded by Islamic armies. It is not easy to find a country where Islam has become dominant by peaceful means.
Originally Muhammad was peaceful, but failed to spread his message. The early chapters of the Qur'an are moderate, and Muslims use these deceptively to claim that Islam is peaceful. The Qur'an is not in chronological order, so Christians need to know a bit about the Qur'an to be able to counter claims of peace.
Islam is violent.
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those whodisbelieve. Therefore strike off their headsand strike off every fingertip of them." "Allah"(Quran 8:12)
"Fight everyone in the way of Allah andkill those who disbelieve in Allah."
Muhammad (Ibn Ishaq 992)
Islam lies. There are about 8 forms of lying permitted and encouraged in Islam. The most common is taqiyya.
Muhammad hated Jews. Until comparatively recently, the Middle East had hundreds of thousands of Jews. These days, except for Israel, the Jewish population is close to zero. At the same time, about 2 million Arab Muslims live in Israel. Muslims kill Jews without any pretence that the Jews have committed any offence.
Muslims can have four wives. Muhammad had more.
Islam approves of slavery. By far the most brutal of slave trafficking was carried out by Muslim Arabs from the seventh century up to now, since it is still under way. Millions of black Africans live today in slavery. The Arab word for black is abd. This is also the word for slave. African men were castrated, which is why they produced no descendants.
Concubines. Muslims can have four wives. Any wives after that need to be concubines.
Propaganda about Muhammad and Islam.
Freedom of religion. The early verses compiled during the Meccan period advise that 'there is no compulsion in religion' Qur'an 2:256). This has been abrogated by later verses, but Muslims deceptively claim that it is still valid.
Treatment of women
How does Islam measure up against Christianity?
