I don't believe there is any commmon ground between Christians and Muslims. There is only one scriptural truth and one true God.
Christians don't force others to convert by threatening them and they are very tolerant of others beliefs even if they don't agree with them. If that were not true, the United States would not be a diverse people like it is.
I live in Michigan and in Hamtramck you can hear the Muslim prayers over the loud speaker every day. Go to Muslim countries and see if you can find any Christian churches.
If you preach the gospel of Christ over there you will be thrown in prison at the least or in most cases killed. If you don't believe me just go to the Voice of the Myrters website and see for yourself.
Weight the crimes against Christians from Muslims and see what you come up with as opposed to Christian crimes against Muslims. The United States with all it problems still allows freedom of religion can the Muslim countries say the same? I think not.
This says it all.
I'd like to ask Hillary how she feels about this - but since CNN sucks we won't get this one in a debate either...
“Our terrorist enemies — who have launched an attack against the West and against the infidels, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, atheists and everything else — those terrorists repeated[ly] quote the Koran and many, many verses of the Koran and the Hadith,” she points out. “ the accompanying books of the Koran [talk] about how Islam looks on unbelievers, or the Kafirs, as those who are condemned to go to hell.”
This too says it all. Bin Laden has never been targeted by a fatwa for perversion of the islamic faith. Don’t know when the western world will wake up. Look at the pictures of the savages ready to behead the British teacher. Our enemy has been made known to us...our tolerance and pc mentality is being used against us to our peril.
.....Funny, sin also equals bondage....hmmm
“I proclaim that there is no other God but Almighty Jehovah, manifested in human form as Jesus Christ, Who is the only Son of the Living God, and His Holy Spirit testifies to that Truth. Humanity can obtain salvation ONLY through the Blood of Jesus, shed upon the Cross for the redemption of sin, and Jesus said ‘No one cometh unto the Father except by Me’. Jesus said also, ‘If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father’ and ‘The Father and I are One’. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, and He and He alone shall determine the eternal fate of every person.”
Islam is a deceptive, satanic death cult and only a fool argues otherwise.
The only “common ground” for the Dhimmis will be their burial ground.
They will not even get crosses to mark their graves. Crosses are “not permitted”.
The second reason I left is because they had a homosexual as an assistant pastor and encouraged other sexually active homo’s to become members of the church.
There is a bit of common ground to work from. That important piece of realestate is called 'sin'. Both Christianity and Islam deal with it, but in very different manners. One requires a reasonable faith and the other requires a couple of pound of C4.
Evangelism in this enviornment necessitates a kind of "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" approach in that while dealing with muslims on a personal level, we share the gospel. Dealing with muslims on a group level, i.e., Iran, Al Queda, etc., we remain locked and loaded.
