How did Christ teach? When he was with the multitude he spoke in parables. In private he explained the parables.
Why? Because not all were meant to hear. How many times did Christ ask EARS TO HEAR, EYES TO SEE?

Many are called but few are chosen.

Condeming evil religious practices are are taught through out the Bible, and a good portion is said directly to those who claim to be Chirstians.

God is not a respector of persons and he will choose whom he will and I do not think insulting a religion or their god just cause you can follows that path.

I believe that this country is bless because we are a Christian nation, there is freedom of religion here and I believe that requires me to respect the fact that people can worship how they choose. While I believe following Christ is the right way and the only way, it is written that not all shall believe. So I ask you what are we to do to those who don't believe as Christians or with Christians who do not believe the same?

I would suggest that Christians in this country have a lot of house cleaning to do before they start doing away with the heathen.

I believe that requires me to respect the fact that people can worship how they choose.

From the Friday November 1st 2002 sermon of Sheikh Yousef Al-Qardhawi:

"Allah, bring us the victory over your enemies, the enemies of Islam. Allah, remove their trap from us, weaken them, eradicate their countries and banish their regimes from your land. Do not let them reach any of your believers. Allah, deal with the aggressive and treacherous Jews. Allah, deal with the aggressive Americans. Allah, deal with the extremist pagans. Allah, deal with the oppressing Crusaders."

From The Saudi Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Al-Rahman Al-'Arifi, imam of the mosque of King Fahd Defense Academy:

"… We will control the land of the Vatican; we will control Rome and introduce Islam in it. Yes, the Christians, who carve crosses on the breasts of the Muslims in Kosovo - and before then in Bosnia, and before then in many places in the world - will yet pay us the Jiziya [poll tax paid by non-Muslims under Muslim rule], in humiliation, or they will convert to Islam…"
