Ayoub said that, in reality, there is a deep divide between Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida group and the Iranian revolutionaries

Iranian revolutionaries like Khomeini are soooooo different from Osoam bin Laden:

The Ayatollah Khomeini responding to apologists for Islam (Taheri, Amir, Holy Terror, London 1987, pp. 226-7):

Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of other [countries] so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world...Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured [by the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.

America is gradually being "Islamized" even while Islamic countries squelch religious freedom within their borders, evangelist Franklin Graham said in his latest comments on Islam.

Islam-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

[CreekerFreeper]

on the list

[knighthawk]

You are on it from now on.

Ayoub added, "I do not think that Christianity is free from religious violence. ... I'm not saying Muslims are saints, but nor are Christians."

Actually, that's exactly what the bible calls those who follow Christ....the saints. But all that aside, I'm still searching the files for the Christian terrorists that slammed planes into thousands of folks in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, or Jordan.....

[anniegetyourgun]

Obviously, it's a muslim thing....we just wouldn't get it....

[AzJP]

You spit upon souls YOU consider foolish?

How unChristian!

Franklin Graham bump. We need more people rubbing the general public's noses in the truth. Lord knows the lamestream media isn't widely reporting it.

[txzman]

In the Bible saint = believer, pure and simple. It meant nothing more than those who believed in and followed Christ. It was no term of "better than" or "higher morally than" the way the Catholic Church uses it.

Khomeini was no Christian. Khomeini spits on foolish souls (apologists) who think islam is about peace.

[texasbluebell]

Here's something frightening too:

Thirty years ago, the moslem population of the US was around 100,000. Today, it is most likely around 3 million (in spite of moslem claims that it's closer to 6 million, which experts tend to disagree with).

In other words, in 30 years they have increased 30 times.

Which means, in 30 more years, if they keep up this same rate of increase, there will be 90 million moslems in the US. And I'm assuming our rate of increase will not keep up with theirs.

Think where this country will be then. By then they most likely will have imposed sharia on the US.

I dunno about Islamized...but America has been wussyfied for decades now... thank you Women's Suffrage Movement...

[AzJP]

Ah, thank you. You equate yourself with the non-Christian Khomeini. Fine.

"It's really the tone of Mr. Graham's remarks and his general kind of sweeping statements that are most disturbing," Professor Mahmoud Ayoub said Thursday.

Hey Professor Mahmoud, you want the truth? Press here!

"It's really the tone of Mr. Graham's remarks and his general kind of sweeping statements that are most disturbing," Professor Mahmoud Ayoub said Thursday.

Oh, really, Prof. Ayoub? How about this: Along with Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet than anything since the last asteroid impact. Islam was started by predators. It has spread by predation. It has lived off the decaying corpses of the civilizations it has destroyed. It is a vast, ancient sea of corruption, oppression, fanaticism, and ignorance lapping against the shores of the present, kept alive by the fortuitous accident of living above huge reserves of petroleum.

aham told the paper's editors. "I don't have a problem with that, but I can't go to Saudi Arabia and take even a Bible. I can't go to Saudi Arabia with a Bible. They will confiscate it."

You can't take a Bible into our own institutions of education either. I do have a problem with this. I rather think he does too.

[denydenydeny]

What on earth are you talking about?

Franklin Graham bump. We need more people rubbing the general public's noses in the truth.

America is not being "Islamicized."

I'm really disappointed in Franklin Graham. Unlike his father, who spoke of Christ and Him crucified, Franklin is running down another belief.

The antidote to Islam is Christianity, and Franklin would do better to proclaim the Gospel.
