I've got a couple of hundred more. You just need to look.

[Valin]

But alas, I believe only about 2-percent of Muslims, including American Muslims, think this way

Source?

[johnny7]

Thanks... and I will look.

[maryz]

I didn't mean on FR -- I meant in the outside world! ;-)

A couple of Catholic cardinals have taken up the theme, as well as Protestant bishops, including the Archbishop of Canterbury. Jack Straw seems to have reversed his former "muslimophilia." A couple of Australian leaders have spoken out. And more Muslims -- like this one -- have spoken out (something lots on FR were screaming for!).

[GOPJ]

Many among us American Muslims have differences with our administration on domestic and foreign issues, just like many other Americans do. But the plurality of opinions does not mean that we deprive ourselves of the civility that God demands from us. America is our home and will always be our home. Its interests are ours, and its people are ours. When you talk of killing Americans, you first have to kill 6 million or so Muslims who will stand for every American's right to live and enjoy the life as commanded by God.

Every Muslim I've know before, and since 9-11, has felt this way. They are sick of the nutcases in the ME but they're also afraid of them... All of us need to fight radical Islam - Christians, Jews and Muslims alike. The fruit of the radical Muslim tree is evil. Great post. Thanks.

About time... but I wanna' hear more like Aslam stand up.

I want them to do more than stand up. They need to rise up in arms to drive them out.

[Valin]

You mean like what's happening in Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Yemen, Algeria.....?

[Cvengr]

A divided house won't stand.

The world or KOSMOS in Greek has been discussed rigorously in Scripture. The Kosmos is the work of bringing a chaos into order. Whenever a work is done to bring chaos into order through faith in Christ, i.e. a faith that has been provided by God Himself, then a good work which will prevail is possible.

Any good work made without such faith might provide a temporary relief, or temprary order, but is parlayed into evil by the Adversary.

If an entire religious system is void of faith through God's methods, i.e. faith through Christ, then any combination of good or evil might evolve, but none of it for an enduring good, worthy of trust eternally. For example, a person may identify evil, independent of any divine involvement. That person might take action to perform a good work, again without any divine involvement. The works might provide incredibly profound relief in physical or even thinking aspects, but only temporarily. That temporariness might last moments, months, decades, even a couple of centuries, but not eternally.

Advocates of comparative religion are very correct when they observe the relative sameness between various religions. Even in Christianity, if the believer fails to remain in fellowship with God in their study of Scripture, one can either become legalistic or lascivious, neither based upon faith through Christ.

There is one very difference in Christianity from other religions in that it does have a true faithful object of worship and when a person places faith in God through Christ, the believer is truly indwelt by God in different persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Without that indwelling, further sanctification of the believer isn't possible, nor is any good work perofrmed by the person good for an eternal time.

With a plurality of volition throughout the universe, every combination of good and evil is possible, but none good eternally without faith though Christ.

In the US, many people have become comfortable in their relative physical security, national legalism, and scholarly observations of avoiding extreme situations associated with later suffering. Accordingly, from a fleshly and soulish perspective, void of spiritual regeneration, one is tempted to believe the solution to one false religion's war upon all other 'infidels' is simply to appeal to peace in calm and order. Without faith in Christ, even that course is only temporary and very worldly, but nonetheless, without faith in Christ, will ultimately be found good for nothingness.

Just as foolish as the article appears, so too is an attempt to target religion or encourage international new world order over a simple return to God through faith in Christ in all things, all times, and all works. Such efforts might produce local good and temprary relief, but will ultimately not persevere Divine Judgment.

[Brilliant]

Kinda cuts both ways. On one hand, the article is directed against those who favor killing Americans. On the other hand, the writer apparently believes that the only argument he can make against killing Americans is that some Americans are Muslim.

[Cvengr]

Islam provides a counterfeit Christianity, picking and choosing many soulish aspects of faith, but lacking faith through Christ. No matter how devoted, the regeneration of Spirit by God only occurs through faith in Christ.

All the other consequences are merely physical and soulish void of the Divine Spirit, but pregnant for malevolent deception.

[norton]

"It's a bit odd that the guy denounces islam yet still is a follower of the sick cult of islam."

He did not denounce islam, he denounced the uses and interpretation of islamic teaching that power the terrorists and allow their followers to do insane things in the name of a god that he continues to believe in. Asking someone to give up his or her religion is a tall order no matter what the religion is or is made to be.

That said, I would like to know just when this was written, what has been written since, and what reactions it has caused....my own problem with islam, of moderate muslims, is that the followers (today) simply cannot rid themselves of the underlying attitudes toward 'others' and that those self justifying prejudices always seem to be hiding just below the surface - no matter how much contact they have with non-muslims.

See at another thread, "Wafe Sultan" (travels to Israel) regarding indoctrination and how long it might take to reverse it.

[buckeye49]

It's easy to write anything you want. I'm saiting to see what they DO.

[FMBass]

"I'm saiting" also.

[Stultis]

This smacks of something phoney. Where is CAIR on this issue.

Actually this is worlds apart, in both tone and substance, from the mewling, vague or pro forma "condemnations" of terrorism issued by CAIR and their ilk.

I personally don't give a shit about the author or his struggles with his illness.

His illness is islam, and it is completely self-induced.

[Alexander Rubin]

See, there are moderate muslims in the world. If these guys are for real, they should be getting media airtime, instead of those terrorist cheerleaders CAIR.
