Subject: Leading Sunni Clerics Demand Insults to Islam Be
Outlawed...
Six months after declaring that all churches in the
Arabian peninsula should be destroyed, Saudi Arabia's top
cleric called at the weekend for a global ban on insults
targeting all religious "prophets and messengers," a
category that, from a Muslim perspective, includes Jesus
Christ.
Egypt's Al-Azhar University grand imam Ahmed el-Tayyeb,
made a similar appeal. The two clerics' calls are a new
salvo in an unremitting campaign by Islamic political and
religious leaders to pressure non-Muslims to treat Islam
with deference.
In a statement released by the official Saudi Press Agency
SPA), Asheikh "appealed to all countries and
international organizations to criminalize acts ridiculing
all prophets and messengers (peace be upon them)."
Saudi Arabia does not permit the existence of churches or
public expressions of non-Muslim religious worship.
Although Muslims revere Jesus, Islam teaches that he was
not divine and was not crucified. The Qur'an states
(9:30): "the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of
Allah ... may Allah destroy them."
Egypt's Tayyeb demanded that those "fools and misguided"
people who commit such acts be punished for committing
"these heinous acts of abuse to the prophet."
I thought about 1 and 1/2 billion muslims. They think that if they do enough good works (the most coveted work among true professors and followers being, taking as many infidels --any other religion, atheists you name it, anyone other than Isalm--with you in a conflagration of a violent and destructive detonation. ) By the way, truth is, that is the only way they are guaranteed salvation.
What an evil religion. What a scourge perpetrated by a religion that worships death. Know who else worships death? “Jesus said to them,... You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(John 8) Islam--a religion that worships death.
Jesus said the Devil, Satan, Adversary—comes to steal, kill and destroy. Paul wrote the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers.... Jesus said they love darkness rather than light. How different True Biblical Christianity is. Christ came to give us life abundantly. He came to destroy the one who holds the power of death...the devil. In Christ you know the truth that sets you free from the slavery of sin. In Christ you have peace with God. No longer condemned. You have real hope. In Christ you value life because the only True God values life, that none should perish but come to repentance and believe in the only name under heaven by which anyone can be saved.
Saved? From what? The wrath to come. Christ came to save us from our sins and give us eternal life. A citizenship in heaven. Anyone without that covering, without that free gift, by grace through faith, shall perish from the presence of God and the glory of His power. Jesus the Christ said "Do not fear those who can kill the body, but fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell."
Jesus proved who He said He was by His sinlessness, His healing of the sick, the lame to walk, His giving sight to the blind, and His raising the dead. (Luke 7:22) And YES His freeing of those possessed by demons. (Mark 1:22-28) Seen and heard about by others who were eyewitnesses , (Acts 10:34-43) Prophets proclaimed his coming in the Old Testament and His Apostles were chosen to see and hear and then write down for us His truth between the pages of Scripture.
There is a great spiritual war going on all around us every single day for the souls of mankind. Satan loves religion, any religion that leads you away from the truth of the Gospel. The Truth of the ONLY Savior, Jesus Christ. The heart of mankind is a natural born idol maker. If we do not worship the One, True, Holy and Righteous God of Scripture we will find something else to worship. Even ourselves. And all other worship is demonic in nature. (Deut. 32:17-18; 1 Cor. 10:20-22)
The war is waging. A War against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Eph 6:12) The only way to fight is by being strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Without Christ Jesus you can do nothing. Come to Him and he will give you rest, hope, salvation and the promise that he will never leave you nor forsake you.
We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
