Joe, can you tell me how the Khutbah(sermon) below translates into peaceful islam? This is from Muslim scolars and recommended for muslims. Just part of it here, from http://www.alminbar.com:
"Summary
1) Jews are a source of evil and enmity against them is part of our faith.
2) The Jews war against the Muslims is a religious one.
3) Nationalism has not and can never bring any benefit to the Muslims.
4) Our war against the Jews can only be conducted according to the principles of Islaam.
5) The reasons why Salaah Ad-Deen was able to defeat the crusaders.
6) The miserable predicament of contemporary Muslims and the role of the sick-hearted Muslims and hypocrites in calling for peace settlements.
7) The Jews never keep their covenants and our war against them is continuous.
8) The evil role of the Jews in Madeenah, their plots against Muslims and the stance of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam towards them.
The Jews, who are the nation of pigs and monkeys, are nothing but a source of evil, corruption, tribulation and war. Hatred against the Muslims is inherited by every generation of Jews who in turn teach it to their children. Our enmity and hostility against them is based on our faith. The Jews have never and will never lower the banner of war against us Muslims; it is a war between truth and falsehood, belief and disbelief. It is a war between the truth of Islaam and the falsehood of Judaism. The Jews will never stop adding fuel to the fire of war, nor will they ever stop plotting against us. Whenever the fire of one battle is extinguished, they light another.
The reality of our war against the Jews is that it is a religious war which cannot be conducted except according to the principles of Islaam which are clearly defined. Allaah says that which translates as:
“Fight those who do not believe in Allaah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allaah and His Messenger have made unlawful and do not adopt the religion of truth [i.e., Islaam] from those who were given the scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah (protection tax) willingly while they are humbled.” (At-Tawbah: 29).
Please don't condescend us by saying we are confused about Islam. Your holy book is full of scriptures that command ongoing war against all kaifrs, especially Jews. We all know the Palestinians will never stop killing Jews, state or no state, (and they certainly don't deserve a state).
The actions of Islamists, the state of their medieval, inhumane countries and the silence of the alleged "moderate" muslims speaks volumes about Islam.
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus was a Jew and said salvation is from the Jews. Islam hates the Jews and wants to kill them all--something that will never happen while God is in control, which is always.
I hope Joe that you learn the truth and leave the trap of this falshood perpetrated by so-called mohammad.
