10 Things Every Christian Should Know About Islam
The Gospel Coalition ^ | 7/4/13 | Zane Pratt, Christian missionary in Muslim majority nation for 20 years

1. “Muslim” and “Arab” are not the same thing. “Muslim” is a religious term....

2. The word “Islam” means submission....

3. There are two major denominations of Muslims....Sunni and Shi’a. Sunnis are the vast majority, at 85 percent of all Muslims....

4. Islamic theology could be summarized as belief in one God, his prophets, his books, his angels, his decrees, and the final judgment....

5. Islam teaches that Jesus was a great prophet. Islam affirms that Jesus was born of a virgin, that he lived a sinless life, that he performed mighty miracles, and that he will come again at the end of history.... However, it explicitly denies the deity of Christ and repudiates the title “Son of God” as blasphemous. It also (according to the majority view) denies he died on the cross...

6. Islamic practice can be summarized by the Five Pillars of Islam....

7. The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists. In fact, normal Islamic religious law forbids the intentional killing of non-combatants in battle. It also forbids suicide. It’s a small minority view that allows these things, and it’s a small minority who engage in terrorist activities...

8. Muslims can be some of the friendliest, most hospitable people on earth. They make great neighbors and great friends. No Christian should be afraid to build a relationship with a Muslim....

9. Muslims need salvation through Jesus Christ. They are lost exactly like any other non-Christian—neither more nor less than anyone else. Furthermore, Muslims do come to faith in Jesus Christ. It usually takes time, and extended exposure to the Word of God and the lives of Christians, but more Muslims are coming to faith today than at any other point in history...

10. God loves Muslims, and so should we—even those few who are our enemies.....

From the lips of a dhimmi speaking Taqiyya to the trusting sincere Christian masses:

7. The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists. In fact, normal Islamic religious law forbids the intentional killing of non-combatants in battle. It also forbids suicide. It’s a small minority view that allows these things, and it’s a small minority who engage in terrorist activities...

Reply: All mussulmen pay a mosque tax which goes directly to support jihad and to various groups like Hamas. The small minority encompasses 20% of all mussulmen, which is around 200 million jihadis - either active, in waiting or getting ready for jihad.

8. Muslims can be some of the friendliest, most hospitable people on earth. They make great neighbors and great friends. No Christian should be afraid to build a relationship with a Muslim..

Reply: Until they see your back is turned, then they will either steal from you as much as they can or kill you. If you, as a Christian, build a relationship with a mussulmen, you are a fool as you are building a relationship with a person who, following the dictates of Mohammad, will turn on you given the opportunity.

"These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it." - Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Turkey. (Source: Milliyet, Turkey, August 21, 2007) A moderate in Islam is simply an Apostate of Islam.

You ignore the verses in the Koran that call for the conversion or death of EVERYONE at your own peril.The history of Islam for the past 1400 years gives you ample examples of what happens to those who refuse.With that said,Jesus commands us to love our enemies...

Any Muslim who opposes Jihad is an apostate, as deserving of enslavement or death as we Infidels.
