Why Terror from Black Muslims?
With the arrest of several black Muslims in Florida, we find that there is a terrorist concept even within American to destroy buildings and probably citizens within them. Why then do the Black Muslims have the same terrorist agenda as the Al Qaeda Muslims? Could it be that they are taught from the same book, namely the Qur'an? Just a quick read of the translations of the Qur'an leaves us with the impression that Allah is against all Jews and Christians as unbelievers and tells his followers to fight the unbelievers.
Quoting from a translation of the Qur'an:
"9.29: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."
While Christianity espouses trying to persuade unbelievers of the truth of Jesus, the Muslims are told to kill off the infidels and unbelievers, unless they become in a state of subjection to Islam.
There are statements about Allah having a son and about others having power of the holy spirit, but none of those statements indicate that the son or the spirit are as divine as Allah; thus, our difference in belief in the Godhead of Jehovah. They call us "polytheists" and proclaim that Abraham was not one of them, nor a Jew, nor a Christian.
Obviously, this book was written by someone in chronology after the ministry of Jesus Christ; perhaps, someone who was trying to find a way to resist the truth of the gospel.
It is more evident with each news report, that there is urgency in our evangelistic efforts. We cannot assume that our friends, family, or neighbors will live long lives, with the possibility of deadly attacks looming at our door. Our weapons are not carnal, but spiritual; and we should offer the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to all.
