No it isn't. We have only to look at the Koran and the very acts and words of the “prophet” to KNOW BEYOND ANY DOUBT what EXACTLY Islam is. We have only to look at what Muslims did to interfere with the absolute power of Islam anywhere Islam gained the upper hand.
Fight them now, fight them later, fight them you will; including that guy with the parking lot in FLA
Sorry, I agree with what Franklin Graham apparently said: the people with whom we deal are the “real thing”, not necessarily their religion’s teaching.
Look, Christians are the same way: claiming to be a follower of Christ is a far cry from actually DOING it in practice. Not every claimant of Islam follows it the same way—and that is to our benefit, whereas Christianity’s claimants HARM the world by not staying true to His words.
Seems as though if we used the reasoning you’re espousing, then Christ died for everyone but the Muslims, who have to be exterminated. Such a thought is anathema to the Gospel and to good sense.
Are we at war with Islam, and is it a false religion? Absolutely. I propose we revoke the breathing rights of every terrorist on the planet. But is the Muslim host of the aformentioned Christian ministry a terrorist just by definition of his religion? No.
Can you elaborate on the “guy with the parking lot in Florida”? What does that mean?
