I reference back to my previous post #13.
The issue isn't that Muslims are sinners. We are all sinners. Shapened in inequity and depraved. We're only changed when the Holy Spirit comes upon us and convicts us and cleanses us (as the Psalmist pleads, "Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me").
Although it is true that God IS Mighty and the Holy Spirit can break even the bonds of those trapped in the Satanic snares of Islam -- the fact is that these poor people are trapped in some awfully powerful chains. Can you imagine being born into a cult where you know, from the moment you can form some thoughts in your mind, that if you leave this cult you will not only be disowned by your family, but your family will also feel obliged to kill you?
At a minimum, on a subconscious level, the person is going to resist leaving. Only the Holy Spirit can save such a person, and I can only admire the courage of those people that leave the death cult of Islam.
Yes, the Muslims are following their 'religion' of doom - but pity the poor sinner trapped in this 'religion' and recognize the author of this 'religion' who is yanking on these people like a puppet master yanks on the strings of his puppet. The author of Islam is none other than Satan - who wants nothing more than the misery and death of mankind.
Yes, I get that. Islam is the evil root. Muslims are, knowingly or not, the leaves that feed it.
I pity them, and I would like to help them break those bonds, but I don’t know how we do that without having to resort to extreme measures.
Because I have a feeling that all sorts of touchy feely overtures are only going to fall on very deaf ears.
I guess maybe if we had a few hundred years or so to work on it, maybe, and I emphasize, maybe, we might have a chance. But that time has come and gone. We didn’t see it, or we didn’t deal with it when we had the chance. Now we’re where we’re at.
