Islam religion of tolerance, King tells NYPD [King Abdullah]

His Majesty King Abdullah visits the New York Police Department (NYPD). During a visit to the department, the King told police officers that Islam calls for justice, mercy and respect of others. The Monarch stressed to the biggest police department in North America that Muslims around the world strongly condemn terrorists who get advantage of Islam, which is a religion of tolerance. King Abdullah said the West should understand Islam in a better way. 'Otherwise, misunderstanding Islam will serve the goals of extremists,' the King warned.

"Muslims around the world strongly condemn terrorists who get advantage of Islam, which is a religion of tolerance."

he then announced that he could fly, and jumped out the window to surrender to the seminoles.

Com. Kelly was probably cursing under his breath at that one, but I have no doubt that munchkin Bloomberg was in full agreement. "Yethhh...I have asked alll NYPD officers to be tolerant of illegal Muslims, to leave them alone" (That`s true, he did) Real nice isn`t it? Twice, Muslim mutts came into this country illegally and attacked that city. First time in `92 coming into this country illegally with Iraqi passports (Yes, innocent Iraq)So how do we fix that problem so it never happens again? We do NOTHING!

Oh yeah, that must be why no Jews are allowed to live in East Palestine, and why East Palestine has the highest rate of "honor killing" in the Arab world.

"The King told police officers that Islam calls for justice, mercy and respect for others".

Funny, I read the Koran and it definitely calls for just the opposite.

I recommend the King read Matt 7:16 in the Good Book. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses false prophets, "By their fruits (actions, words, deeds) ye shall know them".

You can fool some of the people some of the time, King. Peddle your propaganda somewhere else, we ain't buying.

Have King and the rest of the pro Islam lefties ever looked into the history of this so called peaceful religion?
Just a short history by Dave Hunt will enlighten you.
"
Dave Hunt
That Islam is "peace and tolerance" is the most popular lie in the world today. Intellectuals in the West who defame Christ parrot the most fatuous praise of Muham--mad, in spite of his legacy of murder, pillage and rape. A Sesame Street-type Arabic TV program features children training to be suicide bombers and chanting "Death to Israel" -- for peace, of course. Reporter Ann Coulter suggests, "Inasmuch as liberals are demanding that Americans ritualistically proclaim, ‘Islam is a religion of peace,’ Muslims might do their part by not killing people all the time." 1
That our leaders promote this lie, and that so many believe it without one fact to support it, bodes ill for America and the world. We only ask Muslims for one example of where and when Islam ever brought peace and tolerance -- and please don’t threaten us with death (the standard Islamic persuasion) for asking!
Never forget that Muslims slaughtered and conquered "for Allah" from Spain to China. These Arab conquests (defensive battles, they claim) were "more rapid than the Roman, more lasting than the Mongol...the most amazing feat in military history." 2
Islam’s founder, Muhammad, began his career attacking rich caravans passing near his base in Medina. The first three assaults failed. The fourth succeeded because the victims were surprised by an ambush during Ramadan. Arab tribes had long refrained from aggression in that "holy month." Muhammad, however, had received a "revelation" authorizing plunder and murder in Allah’s name during this special time of peace (Surah 2:217). Another absolved the Muslims of killing: "Ye slew them not, but Allah slew them" (Surah 8:17).
I know all this is hard to believe but for the left they still remain in denial.

the King told police officers that Islam calls for justice, mercy and respect of others...

and the Qu'ran demands a choice of three things from non-muslim under muslim rule:

Dhimmitude taxation

Forced conversion

Death

A real smoothie, Abdullah, hoping nobody reads the Qu'ran.

Jordan Government and newspapers need to stop calling the murder of females "honor killings", for there is NO such thing. Murder is dishonor, and King Abdullah needs to get this into his head, and until he does this, he is the "dishonored leader" of a savage nation. Jordan needs to get civilized and in step with the times, and some one needs to tell him like it is.

The Monarch ... strongly condemn terrorists who get advantage of Islam, which is a religion of tolerance.

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.

Egypt -Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature.

(All information is from US State Department Human Rights Reports)

I could go on with more examples of the same. It seems more like we should be warning people about this "tolerant" religion.

Daniel 11

21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

Now this verse makes perfect sense to me!
