However, unlike Muslims, a Christian is admonished by scripture not to force conversion.
When a Christian initiates violence, he is a sinner, an evil hypocrite, in violation of the tenets of his religious beliefs. When a Muslim initiates violence, he is a saint, a hero, in complete submission to his religious beliefs.
Teaching a murderous doctrine such as Islam to small children is a form of child abuse. Some will grow up to be terrorists; it's amazing they all don't. And deep down, beneath the psychological conditioning of their childhoods, Muslims know that something is wrong. That's why they utter self-contradicting statements like, "I disagree with what they did, but yeah, they're heroes."
Well, of course, that's ridiculous. Muslim terrorists can't perform an evil act of the magnitude of the World Trade Center tragedy and simultaneously be heroic for having done so. When faced with such a glaring, irreconcilable internal contradiction, the only logical conclusion is that one's belief system is flawed. Flawed belief systems generate moral contradictions. Unflawed belief systems do not.
It was President Reagan who first popularly called Muslim suicide terrorists 'cowards.' And he was exactly right. There are times when it is more cowardly to die than to live (indeed, Christian societies have regarded suicide as a form of murder). Muslim terrorists would rather die than face the conviction of their consciences. Death is a release, compared to decades of a life spent having to justify the murder of thousands of innocents in the high court of one's own accusing, tormenting conscience. And that's a case they'll never win, no matter if they play it over in their minds a thousand times a day, for a thousand years.
For terrorists, death is welcome escape from the unbearable psychological torture of living. They are not looking for paradise so much as oblivion.
Beneath all that screaming and shouting, Muslims do have consciences which tell them the truth about their religion. That's why they have to scream and shout -- to drown out the voices of their consciences.
Islam is a religion of hate, and far from winning their souls, its adherents must deny their minds, hearts, and consciences.
Islam is a religion not of God but of Satan, a religion not of compassion but of hate.
And, as of Tuesday, we have the pictures to prove it.
What we have is a few raving psychopaths and inherrently evil me who are twisting the religion to their purpose and gaining followers. This is not a practice that is unique to Islam I'm sure you know. This crowd has, obviously, taken it to a new level the likes of which we've never seen in any other perverted religion (note, I'm refering to their perversion OF Islam, by no means do I accuse Islam itself of being perverse).
Also a note on the concept of moderates in Islam. There are plenty, but it's doubtful we'll see any of them touring the world holding speaches. The Koran advices against seeking power or glory, all power and glory come from Allah, if you have been chosen it will simply fall upon you. Those flying across the ocean to have meetings with worlds leaders and hold speaches are clearly seaking power and glory, and are therefore obviously not true adherents.
