"The vast majority of Muslims throughout the world are as horrified and offended by the acts of violent extremists as we are in this room.
Why would any Muslim be horrified over an Infidel being killed.
If you are a secular Muslim (heretic) and are bothered by Infidels getting killed, you should get out of the religion. The "violent extremists are following the religion to the letter as written in the Koran and Hadiths.
"Anybody who thinks they've got God in their pocket or that they know exactly what God wants for you and for everybody else is a disaster waiting to happen, potentially. None of us sees the world with the mind of God."
If you believe there is only one God and Muhammad is His prophet you know what God wants done. The Koran and Hadiths tell you what is expected. Subjugate , kill or convert non- believers.(Infidels)
"(Christian leaders who claim Muslims worship a different God) are playing to people's ignorance and fears and trying to dehumanize (Muslims) to make it more acceptable to fight and kill others `who really aren't like us.' "
Is this Prof so ill informed that he does not know Muslims and Christians worship different Gods?
Christians worship Jesus Christ as the son of God.
Christians believe there are 3 divine persons, Father Son and Holy Ghost.
Muslims don't believe any of that>
It is clear in the Koran and Hadiths, that Jesus was a mere mortal like the rest of us, and a mere mortal like Muhammad, and was not to be worshiped- tom
You can't say `I love God' and fly an airplane into a building."
Probably not for your God; but for Allah it is a different situation. - Tom
It is really simple: either the Bible is TRUE; or the koran is true. One cannot accept the tenets of Christianity as being true, and also accept the koran as true. There are too many inconsistencies, the key ones you mentioned.
I am taking my stand with the truth of the Bible.
Is this Prof so ill informed that he does not know Muslims and Christians worship different Gods?Muslims generally consider Christians and Jews to be worshippers of the same God as them. It's also the official view of the Roman Catholic church. I'm not sure what the various Protestant faiths say on the subject.
Christians worship Jesus Christ as the son of God.Neither do Jews, but I doubt anyone would try to make the claim that Christians and Jews believe in different Gods. Especially since Jesus of Nazareth was an observant Jew and Christianity was considered a sect of Judaism during his entire life and for years afterwards.
Christians believe there are 3 divine persons, Father Son and Holy Ghost.
Muslims don't believe any of that
