I don’t disagree. Maybe its an Arabic thing. I know many Sengalese muslims that do not adhere to the more draconian practices of Islam. Yeah, they are practicing, in so much as they pray five times a day and don’t eat pork, but their attitude is vastly different from their practicing Arab co-religionists.
Now don’t you worry. Along with the money from Saudi Arabia to build all those new mosques there in Senegal come all new imams to correct all the corrupted local practices. Seen it happen all over Java - newly minted coconut Arabs. it is cultural genocide, but hey in the name of religion and the Will of Allah, right?
There are multitudes of peaceful, kind and moral Muslims, who are both repulsed at ISIS as well as the lax morality of so-called Christian America (which makes evangelizing them harder). But until such separate themselves from their bloody fascist counterparts and oppose manifestly them then what warrant can they claim for believing they are really different and will remain so?
While the MSM did try to present Fred Phelps as representing conservative Christians, no person could rationally, reasonably (not that the MSM can be expected to be so) conclude that Christians are a dangerous threat to the US due to what Mormons did in murdering innocent souls and some of the US Army, or because of Jim Jones, as such are hardly a norm, and have been condemned by Christians and would be at the drop of a hate.
Likewise witch trials and the like, including the Inquisitions (though there are radical RCs, even here, who affirm the work and means of the latter and hope for a Catholic monarchy).
Real Christian's can condemn all such as not Scriptural, for there simply is no support for the Christian church ruling over those without with the sword of men, and exterminating those who simply theologically oppose it, or using the state to do so.
But peaceful Muslims have a harder time, for at best the disjointed nature of the Qur'an lacks the historical narratives of Scripture which provides context for its OT theocratic warfare, as well as the response of the church to persecution, and clear teachings on this issue.
Moreover, Christ exampled what He meant by what He did, turning the other cheek versus seeking to avenge, as did Muhammad, in killing those who opposed him.
And at worse, the Qur'an supports the bloody religious conquestorial nature of ISIS Islam.
As for the Mormons, they were on their way to being a violent threat, as are all religions that effectively place men above Scripture, and the veracity of truth claims being based upon Scriptural substantiation.
But the Christian influenced culture was strong enough to prevent that, as well as to absorb and convert massive amounts of immigrants to its values.
But today with the flag of Sodom flying, etc. expecting prideful cultures who basically uphold many traditional values to "convert" to what they see as more akin to a prostitute is highly presumptuous.
Until America substantially gets back to God and its basic conservative evangelical Christian faith then it can only expect to slowly descend into more deception and declension.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalms 9:17) As an analogy, what if a medieval type pope was elected and established a Catholic monarchy, under which all non-Catholics were being exterminated. Since fundamental evangelical . some radical Catholics went about killing all who would not submit to a future
