Miami Imam: If You Love Jesus, Islam Is the Religion for You
American Thinker ^ | 05/01/2021 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 05/01/2021 8:59:52 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi, imam at the Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah in north Miami, struck a blow for interfaith harmony recently when he preached a sermon in which declared: “If you truly love Jesus, this [Islam] is the religion for you.” Kablawi’s sermon was an excellent illustration of why Muslim persecution of Christians continues unabated in Nigeria and elsewhere.

After declaring that Palestine is “the land of Islam – and we will take it back,” Kablawi began a lengthy expatiation on Islamic martyrdom. “Every true Muslim,” Kablawi asserted, “should talk to himself about dying as a martyr for the sake of Allah. The Prophet said whoever does not do that is a hypocrite. Can you imagine? There is nothing higher than to die for what you believe.”

Kablawi then struck the victimhood pose that is so very much in fashion nowadays among Islamic advocacy groups in the U.S.: “But they make people heroes because they die for what they believe. Only when it comes to Islam, our martyrs become terrorists. They come to talk to you about Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela didn’t die for that, but he fought his whole life, and he was imprisoned for years for his cause, for whatever he believed in… Even thought I have some reservations about what he believed… Gandhi, same story, [was considered] a hero because he died for what he believed in. The guy from Mexico [sic], Guevara, [Che] Guevara, or whatever, a big guy. Even Bob Marley died for his… You know what? [He is] a hero. Why do you praise these people? Because they died for what they believe in. So why is it forbidden for us, when we say that the greatest level that you can attain is to die for what you believe in –

The biggest example of this hypocrisy, as far as Kablawi was concerned, was Christians’ reverence for Jesus: “All day long you are bugging us that Jesus died for us… We don’t believe that Jesus died for us, we don’t even believe that Jesus died, period. Yet. But here, you are praising Jesus because he died for what he believed in, to save you from your sins. Why is it forbidden for us to die for our belief, why has it become a big deal?”

Know Islam, No Peace

No Islam, Know Peace

There can never be peace as long as there is Islam.

1. One glaring difference is that Jesus didn’t kill anyone when he died for what he believed in.

2. Jesus didn’t die at all? Well, that’s an interesting way to avoid some inconvenient truths.

3. When I, as a Christian, stand in church and say the Creed, I realize that Muslims, along with the rest of the unbelieving world, reject what I say point-by -point. I understand and accept simple rejection. I have a problem accepting when unbelievers claim they know more about Jesus than His followers do.

Christ is risen!

Muslims have the low view of christ. That is, that christ was a very good man. But not God himself. But rather a harmless love able fur ball.

Notice the difference between Islamic martyrs and Christian martyrs. Muslims become martyrs if they die while killing nonbelievers. Christian martyrs are those who are killed after refusing to renounce their faith.

1. Islam (Quran) pays lip service to Yeshua, that’s all.

2. Islam denies Yeshua is Christ.

3. Islam denies Yeshua accepts the burden of your sins for you.

4. Islam begins with a warrior who set about raising armies to subdue his non-believing opponents; a practice his followers continuing in the centuries following his death, and it is a practice they continue today.

5. Yeshus refused to allow His followers to take up arms to save him.

The contrasts between Islam and Christ could not be more stark.

Islam is a dictatorial political dialogue written as religious commandments.

Islam can be destroyed when their holy prayer day of false goddess frigg day is destroyed.

But Judeo Christianity needs that day too.

So, we wait..

Nuke Medina and their holy rock, which Mohammed said could not be destroyed, and you’ve kicked the feet from under a lot of Muslims.

As Christians, don’t we find this to be blasphemy?

After Jesus went to the Father and as He said in John’s gospel, He sent us the Holy Spirit to be with us always. He did not sent Muhammad. Isa is about as real as the Jesus in the Gnostic gospels.

Why is it forbidden for us to die for our belief

It's not. The problem is that you want to kill for your belief. Big difference.

How about this pope trying to embrace Islam? When the white smoke last went out the chimney it was apparently from the group of cardinals standing by the fireplace smoking dope.

I went Southern Baptist so I can say that for you. Freep on!

I am Orthodox, so the Pope isn’t my problem. His embrace of Islam is just one of the issues I would have with him.
