Christian/Muslim ThreadsIf Islam ruled America...In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Sounds like you Muslims have some educational planning to do! All that Saudi funding, the emphasis on Arabic Quran recitation, all those madrassas, the obligatory prayers five times a day in which the fundamental tenets of Islam are duly recited, all those jummah sermons from the pulpits... I guess it's not enough, is it? Muslims just don't know enough about their religion to fend off Christian missionaries! If you are utterly incapable or unwilling to lift your own people out of ignorance and despiration, then please, allow us to step in and do it for you. Oh, we do value freedom of speech in the West. You can go on all you want about Muhammad and Allah and the evils of Jews and Americans, but that doesn't mean that we have to listen to that garbage. Go ahead. Spend more money on advertising and radio shows. No one in America cares what you have to say. It doesn't mean you're being censored. My, my, my. I wonder who would be the first to cry Racism if Muslims were banned from proselityzing in the United States. But I would never wish for that to happen, and I mean that. In the spirit of Voltaire, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I believe almost every American would fundamentally agree with me. Therein lies the difference between our two systems. You welcome a world in which a group of people can be arbitrarily silenced by religio-political authority. I prefer the world that lets ideas compete on the free market, so that people can decide for themselves which is best. Islam cannot compete. So don't fret, Lady Fatima. We Christians will never prevent you from preaching your religion. Perhaps dressing up in a burqa and handing out flyers down at the Veterans' Bureau might be a good place to start. I didn't know that the Nation of Islam was an approved sect of Islam! I assume you know that most of these Muslims converts are prisoners who embrace Allah (in the person of the late Elijah Muhammad) as their Lord and God. Does Mike Tyson ring a bell? Besides, where else are we supposed to gain Muslim converts to Christianity? RICH Muslim nations? If you see any, let me know. In the meantime, while you wise, intelligent Muslims are flocking to America to enjoy democracy and make money, we Christians will do the noble thing and try to help those you callously left behind to rot. We're nice like that. Yeah, shame on us for helping them while Muslims, um, don't help them. Of course we'll spread our faith in the process...why should you guys get to have all the fun? Poor Muslims are ignored by their governments and their social elites. Along with material aid, we teach them our religion so that they know that our charitable actions are derived from the teachings of our faith. Not coincidently, I think Muslims have tried this technique themselves by decorating their swords with Quranic verse. It really helps us poor kafirs understand how your homicidal actions derive from the teachings of YOUR faith. Yeah, I mean, hey, it's worked out so well in the past, right? Like in Greece? They were an Ottoman state for, what, a couple hundred years, right? It's not like they're all still Christian or anything...all those Islamic teachings really stuck. It's not like they (hehehe) have a cross prominently displayed on their flag or anything (heheh). And hey! How about those Copts? God bless 'em, they'll come around ONE of these millenia! Just like the Syrians and the Lebanese. Annnnnnny second now, they'll all come crashing into Mecca, begging to make hajj. Islam never spread one inch farther than the sword originally carried it. Case closed. And I also think that it's safe to say that Islam's "trendy period" in the States effectively ended with 9/11. You might score a few random loners (John Walker Lindh and others come to mind), but I highly doubt you'll make a serious dent in this country as far as conversions go. Meanwhile, SIX MILLION Muslims leave Islam every year in Africa alone! http://www.exmuslim.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=972&highlight=six+million And what about that Mark Gabriel guy, the prominent Muslim scholar who taught Islamic history at Al-Azhar? You know... one of those poor Muslim ignoramuses you were talking about. Anyway, he converted to Christianity too! Gosh, isn't that like one of the archbishops at the Vatican seminary converting to Islam? Must have been a tough pill for you guys to swallow. But don't worry...at least you guys have, um....Cat Stevens! Great consolation prize! I'm enjoying our little chat. Rest assured, however, that I am not exactly quaking in my boots. Cheers, Publius |
