You are so right!

My polyglot, bi-ritual (Maronite and Roman Rite) pastor, who hails from Lebanon, attended a seminar not long ago, given by a convert to Islam. It was held at a local Catholic college. He listened to the spiel of the presenter on the pacifist nature of Islam and waited for the Q & A session. Dressed in his clericals, the moment she asked for questions, he shot his arm up in the air. When called upon, he opened the Q'uran, cited a particular sura and asked why Moslems were required to persecute christians. The members of the audience stared intently at the presenter, awaiting her response. She suggested that book from which he was reading was a poor translation from the original text. With that, he opened up the Q'uran in Arabic and reread the same sura. All those heads focused on him now turned towards the presenter. Her face turned a violent shade of red, she mumbled something in Arabic and moved on to the next question. Father patiently waited for the lull in questions to raise his hand again. She totally ignored him, at which point he handed his question to another Arabic speaking member of our community.

There is only one thing to understand about Islam. It is a heresy!.

Whenever a righteous person in the Bible was visited by an angel, the FIRST thing the angel did was to ensure that they were not afraid.

According to Muhammad, when he was visited by an “angel” he was terrified and remained that way for several days. I have no doubt that he had a visitation, but it WAS NOT from an angel of God.

The truth will set you free.

God Bless your pastor for the courage to go to that seminar and to be able to persevere in asking those questions to the Muslim speaker. As a person who came from Lebanon, he would have first hand knowledge and experence in knowing the truth about Islam and the Koran. Truly Islam is not on a HERESY but also a CULT.
