first of all, i am a muslim and my religion is not demonic.  the real demonic forces in our world are those that cause unnecessary division between groups of people, often swirling around various forms of hidden idolatry.

how do we recognize hidden forms of idolatry?  well, when you start to feel really uncomfortable and you can’t quite put your finger on it, you’re getting close.  for me, it’s a bit like what i feel when i go to church.  you see, i’ve been going to church lately–partly to challenge and overcome some of my own religious prejudices, and partly because i’m inspired by all the moral beauty that i see.  it’s why i found this website.  it’s why i’m making Christian friends, why i don’t feel as alone in America and in the world as i did even a few short weeks ago.

so:  i want to let you know, “anonymous”, that this Muslim brother of yours, whom you seem very intent on disowning, would die to protect you in the war you think you are waging with my religion. 

i want you to have the world open up to you that is opening up to me:  a safe world, in which all people who love God, and all people who are good, can join together for good things.  i want for you to hear about Islam from the good hearted people you will find at a mosque you’ve never been to, someplace near to your home, rather than by glancing one day sideways through a translated version of a holy book, when the eyes of your heart are obscured by prejudice and unreflected fears.

i am here on this website because i love jesus, and all of what he stood for.  i am a muslim.  muslims are christians too, just heretical ones in terms of modern christianity.  but all muslims love jesus, and all the most important wars are internal ones as jesus taught, and many people who are completely deranged and diabolical claim to follow religions that they don’t follow at all, at all.

so, i am with you, brother or sister “anonymous”, more than you could possibly know.  please let my Islamic sacrificial love, inspired by the example of all the prophets sent by the Most High, penetrate your heart.  please let me love you, and be changed by it.  our world is desperate for us to love each other.  without that, all the empires that feed on fanning the flames of war, all the empires that thrive on manufacturing and selling weapons to conflicting parties, will continue to hold sway.

and God knows best

In the bible, God explained that there is a time for peace and a time for war. he stood along warriors in biblical times (to this day he does!) and stood by his people. God ensured David beat Goliath, didn't he? He protected Moses and wiped out every non-believer that was against him. And what about the MILLIONS of Christions brutally slaughtered to this day in other countries by non-Christians??? Yet you only give this accusation to the people of the Christian religion during the Roman era??? I know your explaining how Christians got it all wrong, but just take into notice that war isn't a sin if your fighting for a cause. At this moment in time, there are Christian soldiers fighting against terrorists of a demonic religion who are trying to literally conquer Christians and other religions. By what their bible states....they're trying to LITERALLY conquer the entire planet. In "Revelations", all the events occuring right now are interwining with the bible's predictions of the world's end. It speaks of a war between two groups of people: God's people, and the Devil's people. So understand that war is a part of life, not against God's word. let me make a statement.
