Allah or Jesus? by Rick Mathes
Last month I attended
my annual training session
that's required for maintaining my state prison
security clearance. During the training session there
was a presentation
by three speakers representing the
Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim
faiths, who
explained each of their belief systems
I was
particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam
had to say. The Imam gave a
great presentation of the
basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for
questions and
answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the
Imam and
asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but
I understand that most Imams
and clerics of Islam
have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
infidels of the world. And, that by killing an
infidel, which is a
command to all Muslims, they are
assured of a place in heaven. If that's the
case, can
you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no
disagreement with my statements and,
without hesitation, he replied,
"Non-believers!"
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this
straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded
to kill everyone
who is not of your faith so they can
go to Heaven. Is that correct?"
The ___expression on his face changed from one of
authority and
command to that of a little boy who had
just gotten caught with his hand in
the cookie jar. He
sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then stated, "Well,
sir, I have a real problem
trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all
Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr.Stanley
ordering Protestants
to do the same in order to go to
Heaven!"
The Imam was speechless.
I continued, "I also have problem with being your
friend when you
and your brother clerics are telling
your followers to kill me. Let me ask
you a question.
Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill
me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me
to love you because
I am going to Heaven and He wants
you to be with me?" You could have heard a
pin drop as
the Imam hung his head in shame.
Needless to say, the
organizers and/or promoters of
the 'Diversification' training seminar were
not happy
with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and
exposing
the truth about the Muslim's beliefs.
I think everyone in the US should
be required to read
this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal
media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be
widely publicized.
Please pass this on to all your
e-mail contacts.
This is a true
story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a
well known leader in prison
ministry.
