For the record I would never deny that horrible things have been done in the name of Christianity
All that stuff that when on in the dark ages may have been done in the name of Jesus... but it was not done by Christians... it was mostly catholicks
The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ does not led people to murder other people in cold blood just cause they don't believe false catholick doctrine that doesn't come from God's Word in the first place!
It's always sad to see people be told that Christians did these evil things when we know it was not actually Christians but was instead carnal mind men thinking they were doing God a favor when in reality they were being led of the devil.
EDIT: My focus was on the whole using force against those who dont believe, as Muhammad commanded. No one should have that right.
True followers of islam believe they have their right and this will not change.
killing leads to retaliation. Fighting hate with more hate leads to more hate.
And in the OT when God commanded Israel to destroy entire nations of people.... it was for self defense, not out of hate because if God had not instructed them to take those folks out, they would have destroyed Israel.
Sometimes people are hell bent on your destruction and they leave you with only two options... kill them or they will kill you.
If it was just me, I wouldn't really care cause I'd rather be with the Lord than be here... but there is a whole society that needs to be protected from islam and until Jesus gets here force is the only thing islam understands and will be the only thing that is a deterrent to them.
Sue, individual muzlims will get born again here and there and will quit being muzlims (no such thing as a Christian muzlim since islam is a religion not a race), but over all we must use force to stop the spread of islam... and the desire to do is is already getting smaller and we can see the result is islam is growing rapidly and with it taking even more people to heLL.
Self defense is not a sin before the Lord... if it were, then God has already sinned which of course is not even possible.
Luke 18:7,8
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
blah blah blah, what's the furthest you've ever ventured out of Pokeyville?
Maybe you should go live in Saudia Arabia for a while... maybe learn more about islam first hand... maybe Iran
