Christians are degrading Islam

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   There are so many Christian webs such as answering-islam.org that insult, degrade and slander Islam, Allah, the prophet Muhammad and Muslims on the internet. These anti-Islam web sites shamelessly corrupt the teachings of Islam into a lie so that non-Muslims will hate Islam. The Western media is biased against Islam and Muslims by labelling them as the terrorists. It is an irony that the media tend to label Islam as a terrorist religion when a Muslim kill the non-Muslims who are invading and occupying his nation such as Iraq and Afghanistan but it does not label other religions as the terrorist religions even if their followers murder innocent people. The media does not call IRA followers as the Christian terrorists eventhough they kill  Christians in Ireland.
Christian Evangelists like Jerry Vines (of Southern Baptist Convention), Pat Robertson (of 700 Club), Jerry Falwell (of Christian Moral Majority) and Franklin Graham (of Samaritan�s Purse), all known for their bigotry have degraded , insulted, and slandered Islam in the media etc! It is an irony that they are afraid to debate openly in the public!
A popular US televangelist's accusation that Muslims are "worse than the Nazis" and call for Jews to wake up to the threat drew fire on Tuesday from a leading American-Islamic group which warned the comments could spark violence. 
Robertson, whose previous anti-Islam comments have been denounced by Jewish and Muslims groups alike, said those who criticised him - whom he termed "so-called doves" - did not understand the situation. 

"If I say something that Islam is, you know, an erroneous religion, then I get criticised by the Anti-Defamation League," he said, referring to the prominent US-based Jewish advocacy group. 
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Tuesday denounced Robertson's remarks as "lies, distortions and outright bigotry." 
WASHINGTON, November 7 - Responding to Rev. Pat Robertson's October 27, 1997, televised statement that "to see Americans become followers of, quote, Islam, is nothing short of insanity," Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, wrote to Rev. Robertson expressing outrage at Robertson's intolerance and anti-Islamic bigotry. "As a people who has experienced the hatred and bigotry of others," wrote Saperstein, "we, too, are hurt by slurs such as yours against the Islamic faith." "For the sake of religious decency," Saperstein called upon Robertson to "issue an immediate apology to Muslims and to our nation."
Baptist minister Jerry Falwell called the Prophet Mohammed "a terrorist," sparking international outrage and deadly riots in the Indian city of Bombay. Falwell later apologised. 
 Franklin Graham, son of the noted preacher Billy Graham, has also been accused of making defamatory statements about Islam. 
Rev. Pat Robertson: �Adolf Hitler was bad, but what the Muslims want to do to the Jews is worse.�
     Rev. Jerry Falwell: �I think Mohammed was a terrorist.�
     Rev. Jerry Vines: �Islam was founded by Mohammed, a demon-possessed pedophile who had 12 wives, and his last one was a nine-year-old girl.�

Rev. Jimmy Swaggart: �We ought to take, we ought to take every single Muslim student in every college in this nation and ship them back to where they came from.�

There is now in America more room for bigotry and intolerance to thrive. The search for security at any cost has created an environment that is emboldening Islamophobia - a nasty cousin of anti-Semitism - to manifest itself in nearly every sphere of American society. Muslims are feeling discrimination and demonization and experiencing a palpable sense of alienation in schools, universities, in the workplace, and most severely on the information highways - radio, TV, and the Internet.

 I noticed a really offensive bumper sticker on a car in front of me. It said, "Kill them all, Let Allah sort them out." This was especially shocking to me. I have worked night and day to advance a moderate vision of Islam, provided a scathing criticism of Islamic extremism, and worked to develop common ground for inter-faith and inter-civilizational understanding. Many voices for peace and understanding have spoken up and many individuals and groups, churches, mosques and synagogues have worked tirelessly to create local spaces for mutual appreciation and understanding.

Yet in spite of all these efforts, the sticker suggests that the forces of hate, bigotry and intolerance are winning in America too. American values are in danger from outside as well as inside. I wish I had a sticker that would express the thought that raced through my mind at that moment - "Why do they hate us?"

One of the reasons for the growing Islamopheobia in this country is the anti-Muslim rhetoric coming from the evangelical Christian community. Their leaders have repeatedly made extremely venomous public statements about Islam and Muslims and the Bush administration has continued to patronize them, suggesting that while the official position maintains that Islam is a religion of peace, the government does not have any problem coddling those who spread hatred against Islam. The recent decision by the White House to nominate a prominent Islamophoebe to the board of the US Institute of Peace and the invitation by the pentagon to Franklin Graham, who called Islam, the faith that believes in the immaculate birth of Christ and recognizes Moses, Jesus and Abraham as Prophets of God as a wicked religion; are indications that even the highest levels of government are not insulated from the influence of a group of bigoted religious fundamentalists, who are undermining the secular character of America, subverting the peaceful message of Christianity and polluting the socio-cultural environment of America. Rev. Jerry Falwell, Rev. Pat Robertson, Rev. Jerry Vines and Rev. Franklin Graham are four of the most prominent, powerful and vocal representatives of this group.

The Christian extremists have unleashed a verbal assault on Islam and its religious symbols unmindful of the hate it is inciting against Muslim in America and the anti-American sentiments it is generating in the Muslim World. Rev. Falwell and Rev. Pat Robertson have called The Prophet of Islam a terrorist and argued that Islam and its teachings are the sources of violence. Rev. Franklin Graham has announced that Islam and its teaching are evil and wicked. Jerry Vines called Muhammad (pbuh) as a "demon-possessed-pedophile." Their comments have caused anger among Muslims worldwide, including religious riots in India that led to five deaths. Many Pakistanis have reacted angrily and expressed their dismay by voting strongly in favor of a pro-Taliban and anti-American alliance in the last elections in Pakistan.

Some Christians even draw and publish the cartoons all over the world to slander, insult and degrade the prophet Muhammad . Is that what Jesus Christ teaches them to do?

There are some cases inwhich the Christians flush the Quran into sewer and abuse the Quran to extreme. is that what Jesus Christ asks you Christians to do? We Muslims never flush nor abuse the Bible!

The Christian soldiers are invading and plundering Muslim nations such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The Christian soldiers are raping, torturing, and murdering the innocent Muslim babies, children, women, elderly people and unarmed men in Muslim nations. The Christian forces bombard and bomb civilian targets including mosques in Iraq and Afghanistan using weapons of mass destruction such the cluster bombs. 

Each cluster bomb is composed of 200 to 700 bomblets. When each bomblet explodes it fragments into about 300 pieces of jagged steel � sending out virtual blizzards of deadly shrapnel. 
People are decapitated, arms, legs, hands and feet are severed from their bodies � anyone and anything alive in the immediate vicinity is shredded into a bloody mess. 

Picture yourself, your girlfriend or boyfriend, your wife or husband, and your children reduced to dismembered body parts by the United States military, and you'll have a clue as to what unfortunate people around the world have experienced since the Vietnam Genocide. 

Abu Gharaib jail is an example of the many Christian atrocities of Muslims. In Abu Gharaib jail the US troops and the mercenaries who are hired by the US government rape, torture and murder Muslim babies, children, women, elderly people and unarmed men. Muslim women are degraded, molested and raped by the US soldiers who are mostly Christians! Muslim families are murdered by the US troops in cold blood at the US check-points in Iraq. Iraqi towns destroyed by the US forces. The US troops abuse the holy Quran and mosques etc.Is this what Jesus Christ taught you to do?

The American genocide of innocent Muslims in the Iraqi city of Haditha 19 November 2005: 
A 10-year-old girl told The Times of London this weekend that US soldiers deliberately shot and killed almost her entire family as she lay hiding in the corner. Iman Hassan described how she heard the dying groans of her grandfather, mother, father, two uncles and a young cousin. 
The Los Angeles Times has also reported that investigators have concluded that marines went on the rampage, killing unarmed civilians, including women and children.According to this account, up to a dozen marines were involved either in the incident, or covering it up afterwards. 
The LA Times says investigators are preparing to call for charges including murder, negligent homicide, dereliction of duty and filing a false report. 

Fresh evidence of 'executions' by rogue US marines in Iraq 

New photographs lend weight to allegations of revenge killings by US unit under attack in which 24 unarmed civilians died

Fresh photographic evidence seen by US investigators is believed to reveal that some of the 24 unarmed Iraqis killed in the Iraqi town of Haditha after an American died in a roadside bomb in November were in effect executed, it was reported yesterday. 

According to Congressional and defence officials quoted by the Los Angeles Times, the pictures show wounds to the upper bodies of the victims, who included several women and six children. Some were shot in the head and some in the back. 
'There wasn't a gunfight, there were no pockmarked walls,' the paper reports a congressional aide as saying. And it quotes a US Defence Department official who had been briefed on the contents of the photos as saying 'the wounds indicated execution-style' shootings. 
US military investigators are probing the events of 19 November 2005, and a picture is gradually emerging of a small group of troops who lost control in the wake of an unrelated attack on their vehicle, which left one of their comrades dead. Other soldiers then helped to cover up the atrocity. 
Claims that US marines massacred Iraqi civilians threaten to undermine public support for keeping British troops in the country, the UK's most senior military officer said yesterday. The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, said that reports of the unprovoked killing of up to two dozen unarmed Iraqis would be 'appalling' if proved accurate.
Before the first illegal American invasion of Iraq, the US government and its allies had imposed economy sanctions and food embargoes onto Iraq that starved millions of Iraqi babies to death!

The Christians are insulting, degrading and slandering Islam and Muslims because the Christians feel insecure and they are jealous of Islam that spreading fast all over Europe and USA. 

Let me quote this article of the Christian website CHRISTIANITYTODAY.COM:
Between 1989 and 1998 the Islamic population in Europe grew by over 100 percent, to 14 million (approximately 2 percent of the population), according to United Nations statistics. During the same period, the Muslim population in the United States grew by 25 percent. Islam is the second-largest religious group in the world, with more than a billion members worldwide (some estimates put it closer to two billion). An estimated 4 to 6 million Muslims live in the U.S. today, and that number is growing. Islam could be the second-largest religion in America by 2015, surpassing Judaism, according to some estimates. By other estimates, Islam has achieved that rank already.
Islam is gaining most of its U.S. converts in prisons and on university campuses. The majority of American converts to Islam�85 to 90 percent�are black. Of the estimated 6 million Muslims in the U.S., 2.6 million are black. "One out of every 15 blacks identifies him or herself as Muslim," notes Carl Ellis. Anglo women make up an another demographic with a surprisingly high conversion rate in the U.S.
At the same time, the American Christian community has misunderstood Islam and so neglected to address it. It is impossible to present the scope of this complex belief system in a single article. Islam is complicated, disparate, evolving, and sometimes at war with itself. Still, Christians have a responsibility to understand our Muslim neighbors, come to terms with their increasing presence and influence, and learn how to bear an authentic witness out of love and not fear.

My comment:The prophet Muhammad taught Muslims to love and respect Jesus who was messenger of Allah. We Muslims are not allowed to degrade Jesus for it is a big sin to do so. It is an irony that some of you Christians degrade , insult, and slander the prophet Muhammad.

 So these Christian extremists are the so-called righteous Christians who claim that they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ while slandering, cursing, degrading and insulting Islam, Allah, Muslims and the prophet Muhammad! Is that what Jesus teaches them to do?

 I am surprised to see how Christians condemn me for exposing the corruption of the Bible  by calling me names etc but at the same time they condone those Christian extresmists who slander, insult, degrade, and curse Islam, Muslims, Quran, Allah and the prophet Muhammad! 
  I believe that there are Christians who love peace and respect the religious freedom and I sincerely hope that they will reject the Christian extremists and their provocations orally and verbally.
