So what do you call it when the Son of man can gather people those who offend him.


8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:8-9


41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matt 13:41-42

Luke 1:35
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
KJV





Actually you are idolizing the Bible with your copyrighted translation that not only change the terms used in the scriptures since they must materially change the text since in order to obtain a copyright. They do it for profit.
I don't understand the point of your post. Jesus never killed anyone from turning away from the truth not did His disciples. The verses you quoted are prophecies, and it is not man doing it but God. Do you question God? Sharia law is man made, and it is man doing the killing for apostasy and beating near death the one who drinks and cutting off the hands of those that steal so they could never work again to make amends. Islam is a demonic religion born in hell.
 
It's clear from referencing the stories about Jesus in the Qu'ran that its writer was familiar with some of the gnostic false gospels of the time, but not with the Bible itself.



In context, this means that as long as someone continues faithfully in Islam, that there is no compulsion. Non-believers and apostate Moslems are under severe compulsion.
True, but good luck getting a Muslim to admit to that.
 
if our President is not able to help/stifle/decrease the 'flow' of satan's 'power' here and elsewhere,
then 'CIVIL-WAR' will ensue 'here', for this is truly where we have evolved to, back and still,
walking in the same-continuing circle...(depending upon 'man', instead of Jesus Christ')

true Christians/Patriots will 'never-give-up on' what Jesus has blessed us with...BUT, we will,
at any cost, 'follow His Commands and Words and Rules', else we would be just like 'them',
'who we once were', 'servants-of-sin', slaves of the devil...

MATT. 9:16-17.
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up
takes from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

MATT.26:28.
For this is My Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
 
Muhammad vs. Jesus: Judging Religions by Their Central Figures

[video=youtube;Uem_0GQP-zY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uem_0GQP-zY[/video]

Every time I post a video about Jihad, several Muslims, and some non Muslims, send me messages saying, David, why are you judging an entire religion by the actions of a few people? These messages are confusing, because nowhere have I ever said, look, some Muslims carried out a terrorist attack, therefore Islam promotes terrorism.

Instead I go through Islam's most trusted sources, showing them Muhammad's teachings promote jihad. So I am not judging Islam by the actions of a few Muslims, I am explaining what it teaches
(haha boy can I ever relate to this because the haters here have been ridiculous!)

I can only assume that the people who tell me not to judge an entire religion by the actions of a few aren't saying this because they have thought carefully about any points I have made. They are saying it because this is just what they have been trained to say whenever someone criticizes Islam. There is no actual thought involved
(beyond wanting to kill the messenger!). It is now an automated response.

But since I am getting bored pointing this out every time I talk about jihad, I decided to make a short video clearly stating my position on judging religions.

My official position on judging Islam is this: we don't judge Islam based on the actions of Muslims who slaughter unbelievers in the name of Allah, or rape their female captives, or beat their wives into submission, or murder cartoonists. We don't judge Islam by Isis or
Al-Qaeda
or the Taliban or Boko Haram or Al-Shabaab or any of the other terrorists groups who want to violently subjugate the entire world to Islam.

Instead we judge Islam based on the teachings and example of Muhammad, a man who
A was convinced at one point that he was demon possessed
B tried repeatedly to commit suicide
C admittedly delivered revelations from the devil
D complained that he was a victim of a magic spell that
gave him delusional thoughts and false beliefs

E supported his religion by robbing people
F started a war with Mecca when he had a chance to live in peace in Medina
G had people assassinated for criticizing his religion
H beheaded hundreds of Jews for trying to defend
themselves once they realized he was eliminating them

I ordered his followers to execute anyone who leaves his religion
J commanded his followers to violently subjugate the entire world
K tortured people for money
L bought, sold, owned, and traded black African slaves
M called Ethiopians raisin heads and claimed that Satan looks like a black man
N had sex with a nine year old girl
O had at least nine wives at one time even though his own revelations only allowed four
P married the wife of his own adopted son after causing the divorce by lusting after her
Q had sex with his slave girls
R broke the promise he made to his wives that he would stop having sex
with his slave girls after he got caught with a slave girl in the bed of his wife

S allowed his followers to rape their female captives
T took the most beautiful captives back to his own tent
U told his followers they could beat their wives into submission
V declared that women are stupid and that their testimony is unreliable
W promoted idolatrous pagan practices like kissing the black stone and bowing down to the Kaaba
X repeated stories based on forgeries and passed them off as revelations from God
Y portrayed God as deceptive and Jesus as a complete failure
Z has kept more people from knowing the true God than any other false prophet in history

So, if we judge Islam by Muhammad, what can we conclude?

Worst religion ever!

But we need to be consistent here, which means that we shouldn't judge Christianity based on the actions of Christians who invented hospitals to care for the sick, invented orphanages to care for unwanted children, pioneered the western education system by starting universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, led the scientific revolution, ended slavery in the west, and so on. We don't judge Christianity by all the Christians who changed the world. We judge Christianity by the teachings and example of Jesus, Who

A created the universe
B sustains the universe and existence
C laid aside His glory so that He could enter creation as a human being to suffer for our sake
D as to His human nature, was born of a virgin
E fulfilled dozens of Old Testament prophesies
F miraculously fed thousands of people on more than one occasion
G walked on water
H could calm storms by speaking
I healed the sick
J cleansed the lepers
K cast out demons
L raised the dead
M made the lame walk
N gave sight to the blind
O gave hearing to the deaf
P gave hope to the oppressed
Q confronted and rebuked their oppressors
R broke down the barriers that kept people divided by race, class, and gender
S ordered His followers to love everyone including their enemies
T commanded His followers not to use violence in His name
U endured torture and death for our sins
V told the Father to forgive those who crucified Him
W rose from the dead
X gives us His righteousness so that we can know God
Y intercedes with the Father on our behalf
Z will eventually judge the entire world

So if we judge Christianity by Jesus, what can we conclude?

Best message ever!

To all the Muslims
who sent me messages pointing out that we should not judge Islam by the actions of Muslims? Thank you for the comments, I agree with you completely. We don't judge religions by their adherents. We judge religions by their central figures and teachings.

Mohammed was a brutal, cruel, tyrannical conqueror who gained worldly political power in his lifetime and used it to persecute opponents and impose his religion. It’s absurd to equate Islam and Christianity. Pointing to the Spanish Inquisition tends to undermine the point rather than confirm it: if you have to look back five hundred years to find atrocities, it’s because there are so few of them today. The mass crimes committed under the name of Islam, by contrast, are fresh and openly boasted about it.

The news is constantly bringing us a story of some imam somewhere declaring it consistent with Islam for a man to beat his wife, and the rise of the Islamic State in Syria has provided us current examples of Islam sanctioning slavery, including the capture and systematic rape of sex slaves. This is a religion that is still very much in the “rights of the conqueror” mode, in which the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
http://thefederalist.com/2015/01/27/why-islam-is-more-violent-than-christianity-an-atheists-guide/

All religions have had their fair share of violence and intolerance towards the "other." Whether this violence is ordained by God or whether warlike man merely wished it thus is the all-important question.

Old Testament violence is an interesting case in point. Yahweh clearly ordered the Hebrews to annihilate the Canaanites and surrounding peoples. Such violence is therefore an expression of God's will, for good or ill.

Regardless, all the historic violence committed by the Hebrews
and recorded in the Old Testament is just that-history.

It happened; God commanded it. But it revolved around a specific time and place and was directed against a specific people. At no time did such violence go on to become standardized or codified into Jewish law (i.e., the Halakha).

This is where Islamic violence is unique. Though similar to the violence of the Old Testament-commanded by God and manifested in history-certain aspects of Islamic violence have become standardized in Islamic law (i.e., Sharia) and apply at all times.

Thus while the violence found in the Koran is in fact historical, its ultimate significance is theological, or, more specifically, doctrinal. Consider the following Koranic verses, better known as the "sword-verses":

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the pagans wherever you find them-take them [captive], besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due [i.e. submit to Islam], then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful (K 9:5).

​
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger [i.e. do not adhere to Islamic law], nor acknowledge the religion of Truth [i.e. Islam], from the people of the book [i.e. Jews and Christians], until they pay tribute with willing submission, and feel themselves utterly subdued (K 9:29).​

As with Old Testament verses where Yahweh commanded the Hebrews to attack and slay their neighbors, the sword-verses also have a historical context. Allah first issued these commandments after the Muslims under Muhammad's leadership had grown sufficiently strong enough to invade their Christian and pagan neighbors.

But unlike the bellicose verses and anecdotes of the Old Testament, the sword-verses became fundamental to Islam's subsequent relationship to both the "people of the book" (Christians and Jews) and the "pagans" (Hindus, Buddhists, animists, etc). For instance, based on 9:5, Islamic law mandates that pagans and polytheists must either convert to Islam or be killed, while 9:29 is the primary source of Islam's well-known discriminatory practices against Christians and Jews.

In fact, based on the sword-verses (as well as countless other
Koranic verses and oral traditions attributed to Muhammad),

Islam's scholars, sheikhs, muftis, imams, and qadis throughout the ages have all reached the consensus, binding on the entire Muslim community, that Islam is to be at perpetual war with the non-Muslim world until the former subsumes the latter.
Judeo-Christian Violence versus Islamic Violence

In Islam

Children
4 out of 5 Middle-Eastern women are sexually abused
between the ages of 3 and 6 by family members.

More than half of all Yemeni girls are married before reaching puberty.

About 1 in 10 pregnancies in the Arab world ends in
abortion. In Pakistan every 6th pregnancy is terminated.

94% of Yemeni children (2-14 yrs) subjected to violence from a parent or guardian.

Crime & Prejudice
2011 Pew study finds Muslims are more "phobic" of non-
Muslims than the non-Muslims are "Islamophobic" of Muslims.

According to FBI 2008 statistics, anti-Muslim incidents in the
US are dropping and only account for 1.3% of all hate crimes.

Jewish victims of hate crimes in the US
outnumber Muslim victims by a 10-1 ratio.

Anti-Christian hate crime incidents outnumber
anti-Muslim incidents in the US.


Free Speech
Turkey has more journalists in prison than any other country
in the world, almost double that of China and Iran.

40% of Indonesian Muslims say they would use
violence against those blaspheming Islam.

78% of British Muslims support punishing people who
publish cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

Since 1990, 52 people accused of blasphemy in Pakistan
have been extra-judicially killed by lynch mobs.


Homosexuals
Homosexual relationships, acts or behavior illegal in 36 Islamic
countries. 10 impose the death penalty for homosexuals.

As of 1999 in Iran, more than 4000 lesbians and gays
had been executed since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Two thirds of all reported incidents of anti-gay
violence in Amsterdam are by Muslim youths.

A 2009 Gallup survey could not find a single
UK Muslim who approved of homosexuality.

Honor Violence
91 percent of all honor-related killings around the world
are carried out by Muslims (84% in US, 96% in Europe).

The number of honor killings in Pakistan are estimated
to be around 2,500 to 3,000 cases every year.

Nearly 3,000 honor attacks mainly carried out against
Muslim women were recorded by British police in 2010.

More than two-thirds of all murders in the
Gaza Strip and West Bank are honor killings.


Marriage
The Maldives, an Islamic country with a 100% Muslim
population, has the highest divorce rate in the world.

Turkey tops Europe and US for incidents of violence against
women, with 4 out of 10 women beaten by their husbands.

Divorce rates among Muslims in Malaysia is
five-times higher than among non-Muslims.

91% of Jordanian university students approve of wife
beating. Acceptable reasons include burning a meal.

Persecution
There are 13 countries in the world where the state can execute
you for being atheist. Every single one is officially Islamic.

9 of the top 10 persecutors of Christians are Islamic countries.
Of the top 50 countries, only 12 have a source other than Islam.

Turkey tops list of countries violating the European Convention
on Human Rights (ECHR) for 3 consecutive years.

As of 2010, Indonesia had over 150 religiously
motivated regulations restricting minorities’ rights.

Shari'ah
1 out of 3 British Muslims aged 16 to 24 believe
that Muslim apostates should be executed.

Majority of world's Muslims favor changing laws in their countries
to allow stoning/amputation for "crimes", and death for apostasy.

Only 26% of Muslims in Turkey say they would adhere to
laws passed by Parliament if it contradicted religious laws.

Poll finds neither education nor age explains
attitudes toward the role of Shari’ah in legislation.

Scripture
There are 164 Jihad verses in the Qur'an & nearly 500
verses (roughly 1 out of every 12) that speak of Hell.


Practicing Muslims recite anti-Semitic & anti-Christian
rhetoric at least 17 times a day, and over 5,000 times a year.

Compared to Mein Kampf, the non-abrogated Medinan verses
of the Qur'an contain more than 2x the amount of anti-Jewish text.

122 peaceful Qur'anic verses have been abrogated
by the Sword verse (9:5) and Fighting verse (9:29).


Slavery
Africans taken (or died in the process of being taken) as slaves
by Muslims is estimated to be higher than 140 million.

1.25 million white European Christians were captured and sold
into the Muslim slave trade between the 16th and 19th century.

The Islamic slave trade still flourishes in Muslim countries.
There are over half a million slaves in Mauritania alone.

Christian Solidarity International (CSI) has liberated over
80,000 Sudanese slaves taken captive by Arab Muslims.


Terrorism

2012 report finds the majority of world's terrorism committed
by Muslims. Almost 9000 deaths caused by Sunni terrorists in 2011.

Esposito/Mogahed find almost 4 out of 10 Muslims worldwide are
extremists who think 9/11 was totally/partially/somewhat justified.

More than 95% of all suicide bombing attacks
conducted worldwide are carried out by Muslims.

2011 Study finds no link between poverty and
support for militant Islamic groups.


Women
In terms of cultural/tribal/religious danger to women,
4 of the 5 most dangerous countries are Muslim majorities.

Egyptian women are sexually harassed 7 times every 200 meters
and well over two-thirds are harassed on a daily basis.

All 10 countries with the worst gender gaps are countries
where Muslims are the majority or Islam is the largest religion.

Egyptian study contradicts widely held belief that unveiled women
are more likely to suffer harassment than veiled ones.

Mohammed was a brutal, cruel, tyrannical conqueror who gained worldly political power in his lifetime and used it to persecute opponents and impose his religion. It’s absurd to equate Islam and Christianity. Pointing to the Spanish Inquisition tends to undermine the point rather than confirm it: if you have to look back five hundred years to find atrocities, it’s because there are so few of them today. The mass crimes committed under the name of Islam, by contrast, are fresh and openly boasted about it.
That is because the Allah of Islam is a terrorist.
The news is constantly bringing us a story of some imam somewhere declaring it consistent with Islam for a man to beat his wife, and the rise of the Islamic State in Syria has provided us current examples of Islam sanctioning slavery, including the capture and systematic rape of sex slaves. This is a religion that is still very much in the “rights of the conqueror” mode, in which the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
Don't forget there is also child marriage even as young as 1 year old. it is at the discretion of the husband when the child is ready for sex; many children die from rupture uteruses in the Middle East.
All religions have had their fair share of violence and intolerance towards the "other." Whether this violence is ordained by God or whether warlike man merely wished it thus is the all-important question.

Old Testament violence is an interesting case in point. Yahweh clearly ordered the Hebrews to annihilate the Canaanites and surrounding peoples. Such violence is therefore an expression of God's will, for good or ill.

Regardless, all the historic violence committed by the Hebrews
and recorded in the Old Testament is just that-history.

It happened; God commanded it. But it revolved around a specific time and place and was directed against a specific people. At no time did such violence go on to become standardized or codified into Jewish law (i.e., the Halakha).

Exactly, they are isolated venues (an innocent for a certain time and place and reason). It is not God commanding as a life style to go and do likewise. But the Quran states "kill the infidel wherever you find him" That is an ongoing command to date.


This is where Islamic violence is unique. Though similar to the violence of the Old Testament-commanded by God and manifested in history-certain aspects of Islamic violence have become standardized in Islamic law (i.e., Sharia) and apply at all times.

Islam has imperfectly borrowed from the Bible.

Islam preys upon those who do not understand the Bible. Its literal purpose is to deny Jesus of all that He is-

Quran 19
19:88 And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."


19:89 You have done an atrocious thing.


19:90 The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation
19:91 That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.


19:92 And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.


19:93 There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.


Quran 9:30 “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”.

Quran 5:116 And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.

Quran 5:75 "Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers who passed away before him"


Quran 4:171 "O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs."

It even denies Christ's crucifixion, the only atonement for the sins of man-

Quran 4:157-158 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise



It guides people who do not yet know Christ to believe that Christians and Christianity is merely a twisting of the truth, made to give worship to a human being, because they do not understand the One who was to come, and did. And through this, Muslims believe they are enlightened over the foolish Christians who have been lead to worship a creation.

And it installs a fear in them of ever coming to Christ and learning what He actual told us by giving faith in Him the "unforgivable sin"-

Quran 4:48-"allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with him, but he forgiveth anything else, to whom he pleaseth; to set up partners with allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed"


Quran 4:116- "Allah forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right)"

Quran 39:65 "If you join others in worship with Allah, then surely all your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."

This leads any Muslim who understands the quran to believe that even coming to Christ will make them unsavable.

Islam exists to keep people away from Christ, it is the sole mission of Islam, and its entire reason for existence. And it has lead countless people to their death for turning from their ONLY redeemer, to faith in their own good deeds, as Islam teaches that your good deeds will be weighed against your evil deeds.

Or, for those willing, it gives them a free pass into salvation by having them kill or be killed against unbelievers of Islam, both leading those who have not yet accepted Christ into a quick death, robbing them of their chance of salvation, as well as the Muslim committing jihad in allahs name.

Islam is the worlds biggest deception, it is the second largest religion in the world after Christianity, and its design is to keep people from understanding the truth, by confusing them on what Christ is, telling its listeners that He was just another prophet like Moses and never claimed to be anything more.


It is NOT from God, nor is it just "a different translation of the Gospel". It is an outright denial of the Gospel, and it exists for the purpose of leading people to deny Christ, believing they do a good deed by doing so.

When the angel that came to Muhammad first came to him, it did not come to him in peace, and Muhammad even said himself that he tried to kill himself multiple times to get away from the being. It wasnt until his first wife told him that it was an angel of God that he started his ministry.
 
YB,

how did you come into learning all of this information about them' at such a 'young-age',
it is most impressive, especially when we see that Magenta has given you a 'like'..?
 
Islam was spread by the sword, and the irony is the Quran says "there is no compulsion in religion." Islam is the most bipolar religion in the world.


They try and say that there is no compulsion in Islam, while at the same time saying that the penalty for apostacy (leaving Islam) is death. I would think that being killed for leaving one’s faith might be somewhat…compelling.

Not long before I came to Christ, I had talked with a Muslim on a chat room online, and he told me about how Christ was just a prophet, and that He never said He was anything more than that, and he used scripture to prove his claim, which at the time seemed compelling cuz I didnt know better. So I assumed he must have been right and that the world must somehow confused what Christ had said.

As I started to come to Him after being called, I was guided to watch a video by a man named Walid Shoebat, who was a former Muslim terrorist who has come to Christ. He really helped me see how Muhammad was a false prophet, and how Islam was entirely from satan. Ever since then Ive felt that it was an important issue, and that I should learn about it.

And the majority of things I have learned, Ive learned from others wiser than me : p I watch alot of videos by people who either have come from Islam, or are well studied in the subject. But some of it I learn from merely reading the quran and junk : p I also like to "accept challenges", as in like when someone tells me that Islam teaches this and that, I like to actually look into it myself and see if what they said is true : p
Ive also learned alot about the Bible from atheists making claims about it, too : p


Anywho, these are things anyone can learn, if they choose to do the work of reading, and taking notes : p
 
Christians can learn a lot about the horrors of Islam from these posts and should pay attention to warn others, because many Christians convert to Islam. Muslims call them reverts. They believe every person was born Muslim.

Muslim means one who submits to God. The problem is the god they submit to is "The Best of Deceivers" and Allah admits he is in the Quran. The Bible calls him "The father of lies" Muslims water down the Quranic interpretation to Allah being "the best of planners" rather than deceiver, but those that understand Arabic know better.

I ask Muslims that give that watered interpretation: How can he be the best of planners when his plan backfired? He made it appear that Jesus died which acted as the catalyst for the Christians faith.

Without Jesus' death, there could be no resurrection and without a resurrection there would be no Christianity. The Islamic Allah is just a deceiver and poor planner in the eye of True Christianity.

That is how they win Christians who are not rooted and grounded in the faith.

That is why we need to warn and teach each other how to defend ourselves with truth and help others caught in the maze of Islam

I did the same thing and it put me through loops. Muslims would attack saying Christians borrowed of Egyptian myths such as Horus and Mithras. I had a hard time with that for a while.

What do you mean by "Anywho?" With all due respect, I used to say that until my wife told me that has sexual connotations. Take it for what its worth.

Blessings

Imagine how many people would not be so easily fooled and turned away, or turned away from Islam after accepting it, if more Christians were willing to learn how Islam is wrong and speak out against it.

I always like to point out that people twist and distort the command to love your neighbor from Jesus. Islam is a belief, and not just any random belief, it is one that flies directly in the face of Christianity, specifically to say that Christians are idolaters and are leading people away from the true God. We should absolutely be learning about it and speaking out against it.

You are exactly right on. I so glad you're doing that.

Moreover, I had suggested that we have a Muslim /Christian comparative section on the forum. The Muslims wouldn't stand a chance here, but I've been on their forums and after thousands of posts, I got banned from different Muslims forums like WhyIslam and Ummah.

After being called every demonic name in the book and 6 years of my doing it, only one Muslim left and that is why I was banned.

Ive thought about joining a Muslim forum before, but have never done it. The Muslims Ive talked to have been on random sites like youtube and junk. I once had one befriend me on my gmail before but he never said anything, guess he changed his mind about talking. (He refused to believe me about my past though and insisted that I was female, so even though the point was to talk about Christianity and Islam, its probly for the best)

We have had conversations here with Muslims in the past, though. They either dont stay to actually argue, or go and post stuff about allah on another thread and get banned. I usually talk with them when they join. Havent had any for a while, though.

And this site may not have any forum for Christian/Muslim discussion, but I would like to find one that did : p Id hate to be the only person on the side of Christianity, though. Having to answer so many peoples posts on your own is alot to keep up with, and I already have alot I have to keep up with online as it is : p

Some Christians seem to be completely blind to the evils of Islamic teachings, and falsely accuse Christians who point of the falseness of the Islamic ideology of all manner of heinous things.

I hate to say it, but this seems to be more true about Islam than any other false doctrine out there. I mean you can disprove and refute Mormonism for days and no one bats an eye, but do it with Islam and suddenly people are enraged.

David Wood likes to point out how racist that is, acting as if Muslims cant stand criticism or discuss teachings like anyone else. I tend to agree with him on that : p If we can criticize Christianity, or any other religion, then theres absolutely no reason at all whatsoever that we cannot criticize Islam.

And as Christians, Id say its our job to do just that.
