For the sake of argument, let’s say Muslims are Satan-worshippers. In light of what Jesus says in the Scripture I’ll copy at the end of this post, how should we treat Muslims?
[43] "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
[44] But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
[45] so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
[46] For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
[47] And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
[48] You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48 RSV

Yes I agree, that's the point I was trying to make with this thread.
I think its more than just misguided worship. I think there's evil forces behind islam. Just look at the opression. Look at the violence. Look at the misery. And it spreads like wildfire - I don't think something man-made could be so powerful.
Happy, and Tim are both correct their is two kingdoms Christ's and Satan's.

Yes, that is a very peculiar sign. I often ponder on the fact that Islam spreads so quickly, even today. The last stats showed that about 25 % of the world belong to that faith now, nominally. It's in deed mysterious that a faith with so much oppression - even for its followers - can become so popular... That there is a spiritual reality behind it, we can be certain of, but it is likely to be very strong as well - as you say.

I'll let you in a little secret, there's no offense meant by this though.
The majority of religions claim to be the one true religion. You believe their god is satan, they believe your god is satan. Realistically, there's only a 1 in 1,000 chance of your religion being right and that's being lenient.
“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” - Stephen Roberts

I voted yes that muslims are worshiping satan. If someone chooses to worship a false god than they are worshiping satan whether they know it or not. Before I got saved I used to be wiccan. At that time I thought that I was in tune with nature and I did not harm anyone so I was ok. This was a major confusion because even though I thought I was practicing a religion of peace, and serenity I was bieng fooled by satan. Satan has a way of sneaking in to our lives and trying to trick and confuse us. That is why if we are not following God then we will fall right into the lies, and the trickery that satan wants us to beleive.
Some muslims beleive that they are following a religion of peace and that allah is the center of everything. There are websites that muslims have created to bash the bible, and everything that God has created only to give credit to allah. We as Christians know that God created the universe and that the bible is holy.

Let me answer Mr. Stephen Roberts boldly:
I understand why I boldly dismiss all other gods, it's because Christ died on the cross so that I may be forgiven and live. 3 days later he rose from the dead and we too shall also live with Him forever, for He defeated death. He is the way, the truth, and the life and without Him there is only death.
You are right Mr. Roberts I now understand why you dismiss Christ, for your eyes are closed and your ears hear not. Atheism is nothing less than a religion without a god, and satan loves it so.

Do they worship Mohamed or just believe he is their Messiah?
We worship Jesus as God in the flesh and also believe he is the promised Messiah?
Jews also believe in the God of Abraham, but yet they do accept Jesus as the promised Messiah, unless of course they are Christian Jews.
The Torah or Pentateuch is not enough. Christians did not add to God's word nor do we cut out the Word (or at least we shouldn't). Is this a correct belief?

I am not saying that Islamic Faith is correct.. but I studied Qur'an and other book of religions enough to know that some of the opinions coughed up in the posts are just plainly wrong. If we are going to debate such sensitive matters, at the very least be informed and do not assume things are true and spreading opinions as facts without actually spend the time to research about them..
@womanlovesTX.. I'm not sure if those questions supposedly rhetoric or you actually asked them to beget answers.
I can only assume the latter is correct because those questions are oddly too incoherent to be rhetorical (if you know what I mean).
1. They do not worship Mohammad. Muslim views him as prophet just as they view Jesus as prophet. Do we worship Moses and Elijah? and, NO.. They do not view Mohamed as Messiah. They actually still waiting for one to come (Imam Mahdi). They believe Jesus (or Prophet Isa) will descend for the second time along with the real messiah (Mahdi) and saves humanity.
2. Yes, we christians worship Jesus and believed He is the Messiah
3. I am not sure you are correct in this matter.. I do no think Jews accept Jesus as messiah.
4. We believe that the New Testament completed the Torah. Islam believes that Qur'an and Haddits nulify Torah and New Testament.

Actually 888... I have 100% chance of salvation in that Jesus is 100% my Lord & Savior & I will reap the eternal reward for accepting him. I found this out 2 seconds after putting up my hand to receive him. It is a truly spiritual matter being reborn of Christ and honestly you just wont understand until you put up your hand and 100% of your sins are forgiven in an instant & YOU FEEL IT HAPPEN!!!!. Spiritual matters are spiritually discerned.
