MUSLIM BELIEF
Muslim Belief
This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes,
is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who
walks with God always gets to his destination. If you
have a pulse you have a purpose.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion
per capita in the United States , especially in the minority
races!!!
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 beliefs.
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 have a
place in 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
been 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 all Protestants to do the same in order to
guarantee them a place in heaven!' The Imam was speechless!
I continued, 'I also have a 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 for you
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 there
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 my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and
exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters
in the U.S. to elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to
read this, but with ACLU, there is no way this will be
widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is
your chance to make a difference...

Wow, I never knew he was Catholic. Looking back on what I know of his life and career, it is quite clear now.

Moving
It has been almost a week since United Van Lines deposited our belongings that had languished in enforced storage for just over two years. Geoff and I (mostly Geoff) have labored to unpack the treasure trove of cardboard boxes first, in order to get them out of the house and decrease the chance of irritating Geoff's manly proboscis any more than is usual. We hacked and sneezed our way through dozens of these alien creatures, searching for who knows what treasure lay below, layered in mounds of paper. We would use one box to hold the paper from the others, but so much had been used, these quickly filled and were carted away to our patio for overnight storage (tomorrow is trash day in Medina, and we hope to have half of these towers removed permanently). Ginger appears to be in shock, as items tumble onto the floor, items of which she has no knowledge, and must now investigate. She of course has discovered the Thomasville loveseat, which we had hoped she would avoid as there is only room for two. Wrong on that score- up she pops with her daily treat, and snuggles in between Geoff and myself. I guess this means that she accepts the new items as tribute to her dachsietude. We are almost done with the kitchen, which of course is smaller than we had thought (but is bigger than what we had in Lakewood and ALbany- storage wise). I wish there were room for a dishwasher, but not without a complete renovation, ande money does not grow on our trees at the moment. The dining room, sans dining set, is the staging area for items yet to be cleaned and stored, as well as for boxes of books to be sorted and dusted this week. We have actually been using the microwave and the oven, and this week have had our official first home cooked meal. Our bedroom looks great- we now have chests and dresser drawers!!! (You try living out of crates for two years). The clothing that I fold miraculously disappears into these wondrous wooden creatures, and they stay folded- well, at least mine do. The living room floor is full of stuff around which we must maneuver, but I have lace curtains up!!!!
