Penn State wrestler Aaron Brooks has become a target after comments supporting his belief in Jesus because he called Islam’s Muhammad a “false prophet.”
Brooks beat Northern Iowa’s Parker Keckeisen 7-2 in the 184-pound finals helping Penn State finish with 137.5 points to clinch its 10th team title since 2010. Brooks now has three Big Ten titles, Fox News reported.
But after Saturday’s victory, Brooks thanked God for his winning streak and said that his wins were only possible through his faith.
Brooks insisted that his trophy made him blessed. “I’m blessed. God used me. He gave me this platform for this right here. … It’s all for his glory.”
But he also said that Jesus is the one true God, saying, “It’s everything. Christ’s resurrection is everything. Not just his life, his death and resurrection. You can only get that through Him. The Holy Spirit only through Him. No false prophets, no Muhammad or no anyone else. Only Jesus Christ himself.”
Brooks has a history of using Bible quotes to underscore his athletic career. In 2022 he noted that his “platform” in wrestling is his opportunity “to glorify God,” and added, “This stuff comes and goes. I’m blessed with this opportunity, these gifts. They’re not mine. He gives them to me to bring glory to Him.”
Naturally, Muslim advocacy group CAIR jumped up to condemn Brooks for his comments — misidentifying him as “Mr. Blake” — and urged him to “meet with his Muslim classmates at #PennState to build bridges.”

Uh they don’t accept the divinity of Jesus.
Uh no.
His rights from God are expressly enumerated under the First Amendment.
No re-education. No apologizing, no nothing.

Don’t even go there. You can go praise Christ, but without chipping away at someone else’s religion.
Right or wrong, that’s easily avoided trouble that you don’t need.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Only He can forgive sins.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
✝️🙏🛐
Mohammed (piss on him) claimed that Jesus was not the Son of God, and there was no resurrection after his crucifixion. He also claimed that St. Paul and the disciples were liars. So yeah, false prophet.
wrong. These people are going to hell if they continue to follow the evil pedophile Muhammed. It needs to be brought to their attention.
Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven.
Upright young man
Good on him
The I’m Right, and your Wrong is such a convincing argument.
Thanks. I agree.🤡
The AP style says it’s proper to write “The Prophet Muhammed.”
But doesn’t say “Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Way, The Truth, and the Light.”
.
“He also claimed that St. Paul and the disciples were liars. So yeah, false prophet.”
I can only disagree with one item in your post. I believe that “Saint” Paul was probably a disciple, like many others, but the only witness to his self-appointed apostleship is...himself. The theory that Luke was a witness of Christ’s appearance to Paul is in doubt.
To me Paul appears to be an early version of Mohammad, Joseph Smith, Jim Jones and David Koresh, among others. Prophets whose only credentials are their own words and writings.
These are my opinions, and I do not disparage Christianity nor anyone’s faith. I believe in an historical and theological Jesus Christ, but I cannot accept Saul of Tarsus as either prophet, saint or apostle.
Well, Simon Peter, John, and James the half-brother of Jesus accepted Paul as an apostle, so I'm thinking that some schlub from Honduras probably should rethink his grip on the matter.
Mohammed was a pedophile, murderer and a downright disgusting garbage excuse for a human being!
Yeah no apologies for my testimony of the Lord
“CAIR jumped up to condemn.” The losers at CAIR have the same boring act for many years. In other news, Jesus is the Lord of everyone whether a person likes it or not.
