Music City USA hosts clashing views of Islam

Last Friday, an Assemblies of God church in suburban Nashville stepped up to host a conference warning of the encroachment of Islamic law on Western Civilization... Meanwhile, a Methodist church across town is hosting an interfaith dialogue tonight featuring a founder and current leader of a prominent national Islamic organization that has enjoyed cache with the federal government, including the White House. The group's critics, however, point out it was named by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in American history.

The group, the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, has been documented in court as a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent of most of the major jihadist groups in the world, including al-Qaida and Hamas.

Sayyid Syeed – ISNA's national director of interfaith and community alliances – is scheduled to speak at the West End United Methodist Church in Nashville at 7 p.m. for a "special evening of learning and cooperation" titled "Family of Abraham – Toward a Common Vision."

Rev. Michael Williams, senior pastor of West End United Methodist...was unaware of the ties Syeed's organization has to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Holy Land Foundation case.

He said his purpose is to enter into a dialogue that "models the best defense against any combination of religion and politics – that is a kind of civil discourse" that doesn't claim that one is right and the other is wrong.

In contrast, a speaker at last Friday's conference – Wafa Sultan, a former Muslim... asserted Americans should have no illusions about Islam.

"We think, 'If only we are nice to each other, it will be fine,'" she said, "while completely ignoring a minority group that plays by different rules and intends to exploit the U.S. in every way possible."

HUH? Islam isn't wrong? We not only need to take back DC, we need to take back the pulpits in the houses of our "One and ONLY Elohyim" from these heretics who continue to be blinded to the fact that Islam does not worship the same Elohyim we do and therefore should not be given one shred of legitimacy, let alone speak in any House of YHVH!

The old-guard churches went all squishey on theology post-V ietnam from all the draft-dodgers and queers they let in during those years.
Only the Evangelicals of non-PC are left in the fight.

I’m waiting for the oh-so-tolerant Methodists to host an interfaith dialogue with those “Christian Identity” neo-nazis. They say they believe in Jesus too, so what’s the problem?

[patlin]

sadly they went squishy looong before that

It is not Islam who is the deceiver for they have NEVER denied who their God who has no begotten son is; rather it is the others who do say they confess Messiah who deceive their flock as to who Yah’shua Messiah is and what he came for. That is the great deception.

correction: It is not Islam who is the deceiver for they have NEVER denied who their god (small ‘g’)
