Up to 5,000 pupils attending weekend schools across Britain are being exposed to textbooks claiming that some Jews were transformed into pigs and apes, and that some offences could be punished with stoning. One book for six year-olds warns that those who do not believe in Islam will be condemned to “hellfire” in death. Another text for 15 year-olds teaches that thieves who break Sharia law should have their hands cut off for a first offence and their feet amputated for a subsequent crime. Teenagers are presented with diagrams showing where the cuts should be made.

“or mame someone?”
Auntie Mame? 8^D
Learning to speak with the Mongols was also kinda of useful back then.
But these texts are largely secular...
“I don’t approve of Islam either but a little perspective is in order. We preach the same thing!”
NO, we don’t. Christ commands us to be tolerant, love one another and hate the sin but not the sinner. Our faith teaches that only God can judge, NOT us, and that judgment will be in the hereafter. Muhammed (the prophet) commands his followers to be judge, jury and executioner. And NO tolerance for non-Muslims. Christ respected women; Muhammed was a pedophile, polygamist and advocated stoning, mutilation, and all manner of murder against women who don’t “toe the line” according to his sick standards. Christ promised eternal life to all who believes in Him - Muhammed wrote that the only sure way to Paradise is to kill, or be killed, in the name of Allah. (Hence, suicide bombers - “livin’ to die for virgins in the sky”.)
The two religions are fundamentally different, but then, Islam is fundamentally different from all other major world religions.
The tired, old rant about “more wars were fought in the name of religion” is not a valid argument against Christianity, either. While there has been violence through the ages by those who twisted it wrongfully for their own ends, the New Testament upon which our faith is founded advocates no such thing. The “new testament” of the Koran, however (writings of Muhammed after Medina when he became increasingly violent in his beliefs and teachings, and which Islam believes supercedes the earlier part of the Koran), commands world domination of Islam through its followers by any and all means possible (including lies/deception), and death to ALL infidels who will not convert or agree to being subjugated as second-class citizens.
Brigitte Gabriel has said that those Muslims who are peaceful and moderate are either not familiar with the entire Koran or choose to cherry-pick the pleasant parts of it in order to lead a comfortable life harmonious with their neighbors in non-Muslim societies.
Sorry to be long-winded, but I wrote this because we will all, more and more, be called upon to defend the facts of our religion, and Christ’s love, against Islam and the true hatred that Muhammed commands.
Most of the non-Muslim Brits are leftists.
An actual human being would have to be a complete idiot to stay in that country.
Tolerantly addressing that level of ignorance had to be an effort — good job!
Thanks for the kind words :-) I’m really passionate on this subject.
AS the self-appointed certified posting critic, I thought your post was succinct and very well worded. In a few sentences you clearly illustrated many major differences.
Well done !
why, thank you, kind sir :-)))))))))))
“We preach the same thing!”
It isn’t the same at all! Jesus told us the truth of what happens to those who reject Him, but He told us to go to them and plead with them. Christians are to give their lives in order to tell the lost of God’s love for them!
The Lord is grieved when people reject Him and choose damnation. It is a terrible, sorrowful thing!
We certainly don’t publish books on how to kill people! It isn’t the same at all!
“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.”
