trying to evangelize muslims is a fools errand. They only understand force and violence.
OK then, we need to start forcing and violencing them.
Hi.
Yes! Rage and Pride. More ideological, though.
Also try out Ali and Nino, by Kurban Said. Very romantic, though.
For a flick, try out The September Tapes. Modern.
Islam is a war plan.
This author apparently doesn’t understand that Cape Verdeans aren’t Muslim and “jeune” merely refers to young people.
“God says differently.” I doubt that God objected to our violence with the Germans and Japanese. I see little difference now except our apparent passivity and accomodation with muslims. How long do we wait before we get our backs up?
I read Ali and Nino in the late 70’s. I truly loved it. I now own it and have read it again since with a deeper understanding how things are in that part of the world. I understand that the author was actually Jewish.
Thank-you for the recommendations. I am looking into them.
Have a Joyous New Year.
When we have to go to war, then we have to go to war. But there are many former Muslims that would tell you the same thing: we need to open our mouths about the Gospel and let God do the rest.
Are you saved? That is to say, have you asked Jesus to save you? No mean no offense, but you speak as a humanist; as if you have no orientation to a Christian worldview.
The city of Marseille has long been rated with Hamburg and Shanghai as rough port cities. People have lived in that area for about 30,000 years. They have lived in brick houses there for 8,000 years. It was a major port by the 4th Century BC.
Islam is an ideology no different in objective than communism or national socialism. All incompatible with democracy therefor not apples and oranges as I see it. I am not a biblical scholar, but from what I understand Christ was not suicidal or a pacifist.
Marseillaise is a song about Marseilles.
“Muslims are open to the Gospel:”
Huh # 2. You gotta be kidding me. Any Muslim who defects to Christianity is subject to being killed.
It is still correct though, to say that the Marseillaise is the most dangerous song in Europe... for us to pronounce.
Surrender!!!
As much as we are predisposed to hate people, God loves people, and He will do anything to reconcile those that are His. I have a friend who led 27 to Christ this past year in the Wash DC area alone. My former pastor is running an underground church in a Muslim country. I also support the underground church in Iran. Muslims are very open to the Gospel, and they are secretly coming to Christ by the thousands.
arabsforchrist.org is a good resource, and it's not the only one.
That is not to say that all Muslims are open to receive Jesus as Saviour. By the same token, all Americans are not open to the Gospel.
For that matter, all FReepers are not open to the Gospel.
“That is not to say that all Muslims are open to receive Jesus as Saviour. By the same token, all Americans are not open to the Gospel.”
Umm, I apparently know more than you - which isn’t saying much. But, nevertheless, few non-Muslim Americans, regardless of faith or lack off, favor killing those who they disagree with. Conversely, many (most) Muslims do. Do your homework, then perhaps presenting yourself as an expert on this subject might have a modicum of credibility. Perhaps :)
I never said I was an expert. I know the Bible, and what God has said concerning evangelization, and I have lived in the Middle East: all Muslims to not favor killing those who disagree with them. But if that is your impression of them, so be it.
Let's just agree to disagree, and be civil towards one another.
“Let’s just agree to disagree, and be civil towards one another.”
Ah, so now you want to be civil. Ok, let’s be civil. But, you should know that there are very few “moderate” Muslins. I have worked with several over the years, all professionals and well educated. And, when they drop their guard and the onion is peeled during the course of a conversation enevitably their hatred of the west and in particular Christians and Jews surfaces. So, disagree to your hearts content but don’t take the position of having superior knowledge - if you want to be civil that is.
I am always civil. I merely pointed out, that there are thousands of Muslims accepting Christ because of the power of the Gospel. You point to you small sample size of your personal experience. I point to entire ministries and having lived in the Middle East. Nobody is going to stop the Gospel from spreading, and that includes spoiled Americans that do not understand the Father’s plan of redeeming others (from all nations) to Himself. Hurl insults if you wish, but I side with Christ and the power of the Gospel to save ANYONE.
