Ditto for me also.
Compounding that fact, is that I had become a Bible believing Christian some ten years earlier - i.e., every Word of the Bible is truth. Now I understand as a Christian I fall woefully short of what it tells me. I fall short of honoring God by loving my neighbors as myself (as they are made in the image of God). I fall short of what the Bible tells me of what I should be -- but in the words of John Newton I can only say: “I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am”. I can only thank God for His Grace, His Love, and the Saving Work of His Son. I am going to try to follow His Word as best as I can.
That said, I realize if a Muslim is a 'true believer' he is going to try to follow his book as has as he can. And if is book is inspired by Satan -- and it tells him that there are only three ways to treat infidels (non-believers), i.e., you and I: Convert, Enslave, or Kill --- there is a major problem. Coexist bumper stickers notwithstanding, you cannot coexist with someone who professes to follow such a book. You can hope that they aren't sincere believers -- but you never know if they will get the religious fever. They are ticking time-bombs in your midst. The problem is not the so-called radicals. The problem is the Koran. It is a book inspired out of the depths of hell. We should pray, pity, and help those entrapped in its snares -- but we should not lay out the welcome mat for its followers. The West is committing suicide by doing so.
