There are those in Islam who have only been exposed to that socio-political system that masquerades as a religion and know nothing of any other. Will God in His Mercy assure that they hear of His Word and have the opportunity to accept it?

A pitiful attempt to produce meaningful words for which the writer can claim a paycheck

Beats welfare, I guess!

Did God send Islam to punish mankind?

This is deep. Very relevant to our current times. First and foremost, this is an extremely delicate area to tread because one would not want to act as if access to God’s Throne to have direct interaction with the Almighty Himself is available to any Tom, Dick and Harry. Jesus Christ the Intercessor and the Holy Spirit...all three know exactly why Islam has manifested for over 1400 years.

The timing of the advent of Islam occurring after the Council of Nicea (325AD) lends credence to the notion that the Council of Nicea being a “political compromise” was an abomination before God ...ie. Nicea was a desperate attempt to manufacture social cohesion thus God could have allowed the advent of Islam to punish_torment the post Nicea apostate system however more proof would be needed.

The prophetic promises in Genesis 17:20 made to Abraham’s son Ishmael may also be
related to Islam’s advent.

The issue of Islam is one of the advanced imponderables associated with certain key events in God’s prophetic timelines

Christian church system

Satan sent Islam to destroy faith in God. That’s my opinion.

Old Country Song: “It wasn’t God who made honkey-tonk angels” ... or Islam. More like SATAN.

Nope. It’s a test. Fight for what is yours or lose it. Period.

Muslims know that if you take a four year old and brainwash him till he is 10 you will own the child forever. Hitler practiced that with the Nazis and its been going on here in the U S since muslims discovered an easy target to practice sharia law because of our free democracy. Mamdami was sworn in using two Quorans not the bible, now you know what he has planned for America. Sharia law must be outlawed immediately.

Genesis 16 says that Ishmael (believed to be an ancestor to Arabs) will be a like a wild donkey, his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him (Genesis 16:12). This doesn't answer the question of WHY God created Islam (or allowed Islam to be created). But it does seem to say that God warned us all about it two thousand years before Muhammad.

God uses Islam to punish those who go astray

Or, to provide situations to test and bless believers. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,". Islam has persecuted and killed many Christians, thereby blessing them for eternity.

“The Jewish Messiah will only appear once Europe and Christianity is totally destroyed. So I ask you, is it good news that Islam invades Europe? It is excellent news! Islam is the broom of Israel.”
- Rabbi David Touitou

Ooops...

Islam came not from God, but rather from Sarah’s handmaiden Hagar; Islam resulted from man’s sin didn’t it?

God did not “send” islam. He allowed Lucifer to send it.

Yes, God did not create Islam. God does not create evil.
However, God allows evil to exist and it can only function if you have abandoned the good.

No. Satan, looking for a counterpunch after being defeated by Jesus’ resurrection, plotted a way to counter Christianity by making a mock mirror-image religion out of whole cloth. Gnosticism and the like weren’t working, and he was getting desperate. He finally found his mark with a pedophilic moon god worshipper named Mohammed.
