OT - Think about it.
This is a must read - it's short but Very informative! The Muslim
religion in the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races. Allah or Jesus? by Rick Mathes. Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?" There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!" I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All Followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?" The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, "Yes." I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!" The Imam was speechless. I continued, "I also have problem with being your friend when you and Your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?" You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's beliefs. I think everyone in the US should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized. Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well known leader in prison ministry. |

Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well known leader in prison ministry. This is not a true story, it is an urban legend. See below. THE REAL DEAL!!!! Reporter Greg Kearney, writing for the Lee News Service, traced the story to a correctional facility in Fulton, Missouri, and came away with a decidedly different version of events from Missouri state officials. According to Tim Kniest, Public Information Officer for the Missouri Department of Corrections, the event described was a training program for prison volunteers, for which ministers from several faiths were invited to give presentations in order to acquaint prison volunteers with the varied religious beliefs of the inmate population. The man who gave the presentation about Islam was not a Muslim minister; he was an inmate pressed into service to present a short film on Islam and answer some questions when the prison's Volunteer Coordinator was "unable to find an Imam to speak." Moreover, reported Mr. Kniest, the prison's Volunteer Coordinator said that "The inmate did a good job," adding, "He was asked a few questions that were beyond his ability to answer. But he was not asked anything like that question [in the editorial]": Kniest said that no such exchange as the editorial reported ever took place. "He certainly did not 'Hang his head in shame'," said Kniest. In fact, the inmate was thanked by the assembly before being escorted back to his quarters. Furthermore, Kniest says there were absolutely no questions asked dealing with jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world as reported in the editorial. In the editorial the inmate is presented as an Imam, or Islamic minister, which he clearly was not. Whatever transpired at the prison session referred to above, the notion expressed by this piece is a complete lie. Islam is not a monolithic religion in which unanimity of belief and action is coordinated from a central authority. Islam has an estimated two billion adherents in countries all over the world who belong to any one of a number of different sects with varying beliefs, traditions, and interpretations of scripture. (As well, some religious groups identify themselves as Islamic but are not recognized as such by the vast majority of Muslims.) No one Muslim (especially one who wasn't even a cleric) could speak to what all of Islam believes, any more than a single member of a Methodist congregation could speak for every denomination and follower of Christianity. The vast majority of Muslims completely reject the idea that "all followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of their faith," or even the suggestion that such an interpretation has ever been a valid tenet of Islam. We sent this piece to several Muslim groups and invited them to offer comments; they provided somewhat different explanations about the concept of jihad, how Muslims regard non-Muslims, and other related topics, but they all agreed that the editorial presented a grossly distorted and bigoted version of their beliefs. |

The media had not been kind to Fawaz Damra, the imam at the Islamic Center of Cleveland. The Wall Street Journal questioned why he and other Muslim clerics did not denounce terrorism. The NBC Dateline program on October 28 raised the same question, as did a feature article by the Associated Press, showing Damra in front of the Islamic Center. Then on November 4, The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) revealed that the Al Farooq mosque in Brooklyn, New York, had sponsored the Alki Fah Refugee Center. The Center collected money to send to Peshawar, Pakistan, in support of Afghan chieftains, including Osama bin Laden. |

The Center collected money to send to Peshawar, Pakistan, in support of Afghan chieftains, including Osama bin Laden. Again, the few radicals do not represent the religion. When I was a kid I once went to visit a Catholic church with a friend, but before I did I got warnings from family and friends (mostly Protestants) about how the Catholics would try and manipulate me and drag me into their 'cult'. Needless to say that didn't happen (and no, I wasn't molested either). As far as your trust goes, I don't trust people I don't know either. But that doesn't mean I won't listen to what they have to say. If forced to make a choice I would sooner trust a stranger than the media. But to believe that Muslims are bad folk because of a few bad apples doesn't make sense. You could say the same about nearly every other organization in America. Even the USPS has had their share of murderous whackos, but that doesn't prevent you from going into a post office, does it? Just go there and talk to them. They won't shove an AK-47 in your face when you walk in the door. And I don't think you are afraid of being brainwashed with what you assume will be lies -- I'm sure you are a reasonable person that can draw your own conclusions after having heard both sides of the story. They won't kidnap you and hold you for ransom, they won't try and brainwash you, and they won't kill you if you leave without bowing to Mecca. So it won't hurt you to ask questions. The worst that can happen is that you will get answers which support your current opinion. At best, you may learn about a religion that has more in common with Judeo/Christian ideology than you might think, and you walk away with a better understanding of a different religion and culture. I say go for it.
