“I just don’t know why Muslims hate us
so much?” That is a mantra heard often. One has
to possess a great deal of hatred to intentionally kill another.
While
there are some similarities between what is written in the Quran with what is
written in the Bible, remember that Muhammad, the author of the Quran, had the
scriptures of the Jews and Christians to base his new belief system upon.
Until
Muhammad heard from the angel Gabriel, so the story goes, he was a desert
dweller and worshipped many deities, including Allah who was the moon deity at
that time, the most important deity to the Arabs inhabiting the land.
The
enmity between Muslim and Israeli/Jew goes back way before the birth of Islam
in 632 AD with the death of Muhammad. It goes back to the enmity between
Isaac’s sons, Jacob and Esau, at their birth.
Jacob
and Esau were born to Isaac and his wife, Rebekah. When Rebekah became pregnant
with twins, these twins struggled with each other in the womb and then
throughout life.
They were not loving brothers, and Esau (Isaac’s
favorite son)
being the first born sold his birthright of inheritance to brother Jacob for a
bowl of stew. He must have been pretty hungry, but that hunger put the world on
a different course.
Esau,
furious at Jacob, asked Isaac- What about my blessing?
It
was not much of a blessing. Esau was told he would live far from the richness
of Earth and the dew from heaven. He would live by the sword and serve his
younger brother, Jacob. Eventually Esau would break away from Jacob with a
strong desire, like Cain, to kill
his brother.
Esau
held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him.
He said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will
kill my brother Jacob.” Genesis 27:41 NIV
The
descendants of Esau established themselves in the southern part of modern-day
Jordan and northern Sinai in a land named Edom and became known as the
Edomites. They never let the grudge against
Jacob settle.
Though
Edom went into the dustbin of history and is no more, Esau’s lineage continued.
According to many Jewish and Christian scholars, the Edomite men married
Philistine women and merged into what is now the Arab world.
Edom
is not only mentioned in the Bible but
also in Egyptian historical documents of Pharaoh Seti and Ramses III. When
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered Judah, 586 BC, he apparently took care of
Edom in the process, forcing many Edomites into southern Judah where they
continued to hold the grudge. It continues today from Gaza and Sinai, the land
of the Edomites, as rockets rain down on innocent Jewish folk, sometimes daily.
Over
the millennia, the descendants of Esau and Abraham’s illegitimate son Ishmael,
became the Southwest Asian Arab Muslims of today. They still hold the grudge
and are trying daily to kill the descendants
of Jacob in Israel. They do not
think Israel should exist. Therein lies the dilemma.
In
speaking with Muslims who will actually discuss the subject with a non-Muslim,
the reason Muslims look down on Christians and Jews is because of our
backsliding, our relapse back into sin. Our sexual mores are condemned by God,
and the West has become demoralized through pornography and homosexuality.
The
sexual sins of the West are great, and God will bring us to judgment.
What
Islam does not understand, one of the many, is that Christians and Jews did not relapse
back in to sin. We never left it. That is why Jews had
sacrifices to God, and why Christians pray for forgiveness daily.
Islam
teaches that one can earn Heaven by being sinless. Really?
In
the New Testament, Paul discusses man’s weakness in the final days of Earth as
we now know it, and he described what will bring God’s wrath, a threat that
will finally be realized like it was realized in Noah’s day.
They
exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things
rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. For this reason
God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural
relations for unnatural ones. Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations
with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts
with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their
error.… Romans 1:25-27 NIV
Has
this happened in the West?
The Quran,
like the Torah,
has many rules about sexuality and marriage.
· Sexual activity should be confined to
marriage between a man and his wife or wives. He can have several.
· Abortion and homosexuality are strictly
taboo.
· Sex outside marriage is forbidden
EXCEPT if a man wants to have his way with an unmarried female slave. If she
becomes pregnant and has a child, she then is called his concubine.
· Pedophilia is permitted in the Qur'an
According
to wikiislam.net:
Pedophilia
was practiced by Prophet Muhammad and his companions, and some Muslims today
continue to commit the crime, following their prophet's example.
Fast-forward
to present day Afghanistan and the land of the dancing boys.
In
2011, a Green Beret with 11 years’ experience with Special Forces stationed in
Afghanistan prevented a pedophilic attack on
a young boy. The boy’s mother found Sgt. 1st Class
Charles Martland and told him the police commander had beaten her and was
raping her son.
Martland,
doing what any decadent, back-slidden Green Beret would do, stopped the rape
and threw the police commander off the base with the help of another soldier,
Daniel Quinn.
Instead
of a medal or ribbon, the two soldiers were disciplined for their actions. They
did not understand the culture they were told, and Martland’s discharge was
recommended. Ninety-three members of Congress asked that an investigation into
abuse of Afghan children by commanders/officers be initiated.
Republican
Duncan Hunter, California, had this to say:
“Charles did the right thing in
Afghanistan by standing up to a child rapist and corrupt commander, and now
it’s the Army’s turn to do the right thing and reverse the decision to expel
him from the service. Permitting Charles to continue serving is in the best
interest of the Army and the nation.”
The Dancing Boys of
Afghanistan is not a secret. Grown men find young boys who can dance, often
paying their very poor parents for the opportunity. The boys dance, and the men
sleep with them. This from a religion that believes Jews and Christians have
had a relapse.
According
to a September 20, 2015 article in the N.Y. Times, U.S. soldiers have
now been instructed to ignore the pedophile abuse by the Afghan “allies” and
look the other way.
“The
reason we were here is because we heard the terrible things the Taliban were
doing to people, how they were taking away human rights,” said Dan Quinn, a
former Special Forces captain who beat up an American-backed militia commander
for keeping a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave. “But we were putting
people into power who would do things that were worse than the Taliban did -
that was something village elders voiced to me.”
The
policy change by the U. S. Administration is not surprising to anyone who has
followed their sexual revolution initiatives. Anything pretty much goes,
sexually- except being offended by such activity.
In
the meantime, Islamic State is at it again. They are specialists in
orchestrating demented executions as they follow the Quran the way they
interpret it. They have put people in cages and dropped them in the water to
drown. They have thrown victims into acid baths. They have burned people alive
and crucified others.
Last
week ISIS, the enforcers of Islamic morality, burned 19 Yazidi girls to death
because they refused to be sex slaves. More than 3,000 young Yazidi girls have
been captured by ISIS.
Yet
Islam thinks the West is the Great Satan. Maybe they have it backwards.
They
exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things
rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. For this reason
God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural
relations for unnatural ones. Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations
with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts
with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their
error.… Romans 1:25-27 NIV
There
is no argument among those who believe that God is a reality that our nation
has had a spiritual relapse. There is much worship of created things rather
than the Creator.
What
about dishonorable passions? Are many women exchanging natural relations for
unnatural relations? Have many men abandoned natural relationships with women
for unnatural relationships with their same sex? Are men committing indecent
acts with other men?
In
our world, these things have always gone on, much to God’s dismay. Modern
Christianity seems to believe that Jesus was a liberal instead of a
conservative like “his Father in Heaven.” He was not. He did not tell Mary the
adulteress/prostitute to continue her profession; he saved her life and told
her to stop the behavior.
Paul
was talking about the coming wrath of God. The liberal mindset does not seem to
believe global warming which is now climate-change is a part of that story.
It
is God who is changing the climate, just like Revelation and the prophets said
was going to happen. Seas are roaring, record hail is falling, tsunamis and
record earthquakes are happening. Jerusalem is surrounded by her enemies like
described for the last days.
The
West could admit our relapse and repent. Nah. That ain’t gonna happen.
