"God is compassionate and merciful whether your mouth says "God", "Dios", or "Allah". If the terrorists believed that, they would think twice whether killing women and children is "merciful". But it is true nonetheless - - no matter how you say it."
God and allah are not the same. Look at the evidence that you provide in this statement. The terrorists don't believe that because allah is NOT merciful or compassionate. Remember they can't leave islam under pain of death. I, as an infidel, must submit or die.
"And I am only saying what Billy (not Franklin) Graham said in the past.
We worship the same God."
If he said this, he is wrong. He hasn't studied islam.
"If David Koresh said that "Jesus" told him to rape little girls and set everyone on fire, that does not mean there is a problem with Jesus/Y'shua/Issa. The problem was with Koresh."
You must be some kind of federal drone or liberal to believe this. More propaganda.
"If certain Muslims, say "Allah" has told them to kill all infidels, including innocent women and children, the problem is not with "Allah", it is with the killers who justify their crimes in his Name."
The problem is that the koran tells them to do this. How can you possibly blame the believer for doing what allah tells them to do? They are following instructions WRT infidels. Read it yourself.
"I know Christ personally, and we are called to redeem, not destroy."
Evil is not redeemable. Remember what Jesus did to the moneychangers in the temple? What do you think he'd do in an abortion clinic?
"If you knew Him, you would understand."
Now we get to the heart of it. Self righteousness. The single greatest cause of war.
"We can and will act in self defense, but a declaration of war against an entire religion (instead of a small, deviant strain as the 9/11 Commission calls it - "political Islam") such a war is a "holy war"."
It sure is. It needs to be declared on this side, as it has been on theirs. I've got doubts about the commissions knowledge about Christianity, never mind islam. This is the third time in a thousand years that islam has tried to take over the world.
"Do not tell Christians who speak Arabic that they worship "Satan"."
I don't know what you're POSSIBLY thinking here. That's mutually exclusive on the face of it.
"If you know your scriptures, Christ taught there is only one sin that is unforgivable."
Denial of the holy spirit. What's your point?
"And if you believe it is our mission to kill all Muslims."
No, it is our mission to defend ourselves and protect each other.
"Then, my friend, you are a holy warrior, a follower of jihad.
And it is just as evil."
No, jihad is an islamic term. It's not a Christian term. There is no Christian concept remotely similar to "jihad". Exactly what is your problem with fighting evil on all levels? How does fighting evil make one evil? Was Jesus evil because he stood up to the evil of a stoning, or got angry in the temple?
"As President Bush says and believes, Islam is a religion of peace."
If he actually believes that, he's wrong, but smart enough to learn the truth. OTOH, your perceptions are so crooked that I don't welcome you speaking for my President.
"Those who hate all Muslims simply because they are Muslims are no better than those who hate all Christians because they are Christians."
Your position on hatred is misdirected. It's not about hating muslims but about fighting evil. OTOH, islam hates infidels, because allah told them to.
"The last Holy War lasted three centuries. And none of them acted very "holy"."
You better wake up here. The "last holy war" hasn't ended yet. It's been going on for more than a thousand years. Submit or die.
"If this is what the board has become (Christian jihadis), I'll take my leave.
This is the recipe for apocalypse."
If you are the Christian you claim to be, then you would've figured the truth out by now. This IS the recipe for the apocolypse, and it's not of our doing. Learn your prophecy.
There are too many people here with major time and effort invested in this board to tolerate your self righteous judgemental BS.
Tell your story walking.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. You've wasted enough time already.
