Minneapolis Muslims protest 'sharia' vigilante in Cedar-Riverside area

Minneapolis police received reports in February from concerned residents who saw Rashid in a dark green uniform that said “Muslim Defense Force” and “Religious Police” and had two flags associated with ISIS and other terrorist groups.

Jeff Van Nest, an FBI spokesman for Minneapolis, declined to comment.

In a recent interview, Rashid said he aims to turn Cedar-Riverside into a “sharia-controlled zone” where Muslims are learning about the proper practices of Islam and that “non-Muslims are asked to respect” it.

Nevertheless, they’re a reminder of God and moral values. The Bible was written by Jews, and they’re still God’s chosen people to bring His light into the world, even if they’ve failed on many occasions. As Jesus said, “Salvation is of the Jews”. It doesn’t mean you need Jews to save you, it means God’s word was first given to them.

I agree!

What's bothersome to me is how some Christians treat non-Christian Jews as though they are walking in Truth or as though their form of Judaism pleases God. It does not. In Christ there is neither Jew or Greek (gentile), male or female - but we are one in Christ. The operative word is "in Christ". We are either in Him or not. We are walking in Truth (Christ) or not.

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world." - 1 John 4:1-3
