Muslims Demand “Bigoted” Church Sign Removal, Pastor Has Perfect Reply
Mad world news ^ | May 15, 2016 | Dom the conservative

Expecting the peaceful pastor to cave, they were shocked and enraged when he not only refused to remove it, but offered the perfect response.

Belmont Drive Missionary Baptist Church in Oregon has caused a disturbing stir in self-important hypocrites who believe that Islam is a supreme religion that should never be criticized. The church in Hood River has caused the thought police to sound the alarm on bigotry, proving their own intolerance.

WSBT rushed to the scene of a political correctness crime, in which the Baptist church displayed a message on their sign declaring, “Wake up Christians. Allah is not our God. Muhammad not greater than Jesus.” Likewise, the other side reads, “Only the Bible is God’s word. ‘Holy book.’ Koran is just another book.”

Hood River resident Eric Cohn was nearly in tears over the church stating what God has already stated in the Bible, saying that his feelings were hurt when he looked at the message board.

“I literally had to stop and back up and make sure I saw what I saw, and I was profoundly offended and upset by it,” Eric Cohn said.

Cohn wasn’t the only one wishing that the U.S. would outlaw free speech. Hood River Mayor Paul Blackburn allowed his feelings to get the best of his logic, and he most likely hopes to use his political platform to do away with said pesky freedom.

“I was really annoyed and sad,” Hood River mayor, Paul Blackburn, said. “I am annoyed that in this political season there’s a solid case of ugly going on. I think it norms up this kind of behavior like ‘oh, it’s okay to be a bigot now.'”

Assuming this is an accurate report, I commend the church for offering a fact-based message, without name-calling or vulgarity.

Jesus does call on us to acknowledge that God is the ONLY God and his word is the ONLY truth. He does not call on us to attack and kill those who disagree. Islam calls on us to acknowledge that allah is the ONLY God and the koran is the ONLY truth. islam DOES call on its followers to attack and kill whoever disagrees or states/writes something differently.

Which one is from the real God? Which one shows real agape love? Which one leads to harmony and peace, even with those who disagree?

Take the words from the Muslem most sacred book itself.

According to the Quran Allah has no son, isn’t male or female.

According to the New Testament of the Bible The God Elohim of Israel is male and fathered a male son from the virgin Mary
- Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Therefore, the Biblical New Testament Christian God of Israel worshiped by Christians IS NOT NOR CAN BE the ‘Allah’ worshiped by followers of Islam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My feelings are hurt and I am deeply saddened and offended
every time a Christian fails to acknowledge this FACT.

The original version I saw first was HUGE, but I couldn’t resize it with the original text, reducing the size garbled it. So I reduced the size, whited out the old text, and added the same words again, in a new font that fit. Same graphics, same words, different type/font.

Hope the good pastor has a quick reaction force drawn from the men of his congregation.

Omar & Achmed are likely to show up to make trouble & they’ll be led by that idiot mayor. They all need to be driven off with suddenly aching heads.

Here’s what the pastor of the church said:

“I’m not politically correct. I’ve never been politically correct, but I think I’m biblically correct, and that’s what matters to me,” Harrington said. “It isn’t against any particular denomination. It’s just the fact that I have taught and will continue to teach that I have one God, one way of salvation, and one Bible that’s holy.”

Messrs. Cohn and Blackburn need to have their bigoted pansy butts severely and thoroughly kicked.

“Their tears are the water in which the plants of righteousness may grow.”

Who gives a flock of honking geese about their feelings? The First Amendment and the Bible both agree on what that church is proclaiming. The rest can go kowtow to the Muslims in fear and trepidation.
