Four years have passed since the Islamic State group's fighters were run out of Kobani, a strategic city on the Syrian-Turkish border, but the militants' violent and extreme interpretation of Islam has left some questioning their faith.

A new church is attracting converts. It is the first local Christian place of worship for decades.

“If ISIS represents Islam, I don’t want to be a Muslim anymore,” Farhad Jasim, 23, who attends the Church of the Brethren, told NBC News. “Their God is not my God.”

This is why we at followers of Jesus Christ must always look to Him first....to understand that there are people who even we think are beyond conversion, who come to Christ.

“If ISIS represents Islam, I don’t want to be a Muslim anymore,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ISIS is the closest to Mohammed as any muslims in modern times.
They represent the purest form of Islam.

And they must start in Genesis 1. It is time. Kids are being freed from the made up scientific facts spewed by those who seek to steal, kill and destroy.

“After hearing about the Church of the Brethren — which opened in September and is part of a denomination with its origins in 18th-century Germany — Jasim decided to visit and see for himself what it was all about.”

“It didn’t take me long to discover that Christianity was the religion I was searching for,” he said.”

To God the glory. It brings tears of joy to my eyes when I hear of such things.

Working in the ME the last 3 plus years, I know how hard it is for a Muslim to turn to Christianity. God bless him!

No thanks.

Church of the Brethren is known as one of the Historic Peace Churches. Brethren have considered participation in war to be unacceptable for Christians

I know a couple who were missionaries to a muslim country and they said the thing about islam that resulted in people coming to Christ, more than anything else, was sharia law.

Ordinary muslims HATE it.

And muslim women do not want to marry muslim men because so many of the men beat their wives.

ISIS represented the true Islam of Muhammad’s eternal Jihad wars until the whole world is Muslim. Bill Warner says rotten ol pedophile Mo’ fought 80 battles to kill and convert infidels. To steal their riches because booty and sex slaves was a prime motivator for his army.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AhLlYNGxFE

Bill Warner created a database of 548 battles (by Muhammad and his successors) that Islam fought: jihad battles against classical civilization. This isn’t even all the battles – it’s primarily the battles against the classical civilization of Rome and Greece.

What an upside-side down world we live in. At least in the U.S.

Here we have ISIS Muslims converting to Christianity, and in the U.S. we have ‘democrats’ condemning Christianity and renouncing God and wanting to eliminate all references of God from all government structures and government events and from the public square. Democrats are now referring to Islam and the religion of peace, while calling Christianity and Judaism the religions that cause most evils in the world.

ISIS is exactly what Islam is about.

The point of the Crusades was not "kill Muslims" or "kill God's enemies (or sinners or the liberals or the left)" nor even "convert Muslims with the sword." Rather, it was to rescue the Christian people of the Holy Land from Muslim domination and secure the Holy Places.

Those, at least, were the stated purposes.

If you think it was a general kill-fest, you must have learned your history from ISIS.

Why yes, this is so.
