Islam And Catholicism Similarities
christianitybeliefs.org
This Islam In Bible Prophecy study covers the similarities between Roman
Catholicism and Islam.
The
pagan beliefs of Roman Catholicism and Islam have much in common, as they both
oppose what the Word of God says.
The
end game of the Roman Catholic Church is to draw Muslims into Catholicism, so
the more things that they have in common, the easier the transition.
Both
Roman Catholicism and Islam revere the Blessed Virgin Mary.
They
both teach the concept of the Immaculate
Conception of
Mary.
Famous
Catholic Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, in his article Mary and the Moslems said, “The Koran, which is the Bible of the
Moslems, has many passages concerning the Blessed Virgin. First of all, the
Koran believes in her Immaculate Conception, and also, in her Virgin Birth.”
Mary
is mentioned 34 times in the Qur’an, and the 19th Surah (chapter) is named
after her. After Muhammad’s daughter Fatima, Mary is revered as blessed above
all women by orthodox Muslims.
Bishop
Sheen says “the
two largest religions in the world believe in fervent devotion to Mary and hold
her virtues in the very highest esteem.”
Mary
is for the Moslems the true Sayyida, or Lady.
But
after the death of Fatima, Mohammed wrote: “Thou shalt be the most blessed of all
the women in Paradise, after Mary.”
How
would Muhammad ever get this idea if it was not from Rome?
This
connection is being used to draw Muslims to the Roman Church.
Both
Roman Catholicism and Islam revere the moon god and Sun god.
Many
images of the Catholic Virgin Mary show her standing over a crescent moon. And
there are many sun worship images through the Catholic Church, including at St.
Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
The
Eucharist wafer represents the sun god, which is placed on a crescent moon in
the Monstrance, representing their sexual union, and the rebirth of their son
Tammuz.
Islamic
mosques have the crescent moon representing the moon god and a star for the Sun
God. Many times you see pictures with the sun cradled in the Islamic moon
symbol, representing their sexual union.
Roman
Catholicism and Islam both use prayer beads.
Prayer
beads are used to mark the repetitions of prayers, chants or devotions.
In
Roman Catholicism they are used to pray the rosary to the Virgin Mary.
In Islam
the beads are traditionally used to keep count while saying the prayer known as
the “Tasbih of Fatimah”, which was a form of prayer offered as a gift by
Muhammad to his daughter.
Roman
Catholicism and Islam both have pilgrimages.
Roman
Catholics flock to the Vatican to visit St. Peter’s Basilica.
The
Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, and a mandatory religious duty
for Muslims that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all
adult Muslims who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the
journey
Roman
Catholicism and Islam both believe in both have forced conversions by the sword
and killing heretics.
Islam
is in the news today for killing Christians, and they have a history of doing
so, as they are the covert military arm of the Roman Catholic Church.
Historians
estimate that during the Dark Ages and the Inquisition, the Roman Catholic
Church killed over 50 million people whom they deemed as heretics, most of
which were Christians who dared to own a Bible (which the Church forbid) or
proclaimed the Gospel of Christ.
“History
of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, Vol. 2″
documents “That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any
other institution that has ever existed among mankind will be questioned by no
Protestant who has a complete knowledge of history.”
At
one event, remembered as the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre,
an estimated 100,000 Huguenots (Protestant Christians in France) were
slaughtered.
In
Spain alone the number of condemned exceeded three million, with about 300,000
burned at the stake during the length of the Spanish Inquisition.
Roman
Catholicism and Islam both appear to fulfill Bible prophecy about the
Antichrist.
The Qur’an was written in such a way as to match
the description of the antichrist beast in Revelation, to fool undiscerning
Christians and Muslims.
But
the descriptions in Revelation 13 and 17 about the antichrist beast can only describe one people group, the Roman Catholic Church.
Roman
Catholicism and Islam both have Holy wars.
Both
religions are designed to wage war against their enemies. Islam was
written to cause Muslims to war against Jews and the true followers of Christ.
The
Roman Catholic Church has a history of Holy Wars, to overcome their enemies by
using the military powers of countries that they control, such as France and
Spain.
