I have to say this is a simple but very powerfull piece . i been thinking the very same things that the writer wrote …

Were Islam preaching the Lord JESUS and the Cross … I would have joined it by now …and thats an inditement on modern christianity, which lacks moral fortitude and Godly integrity , and places modernism and ever changing worldiness standards …

Fantastic article … !!

As I’ve been saying for years as an American born Muslim; people criticize the Middle East for being stuck in the Stone Age. Maybe the West got too modern too fast? If you look at the culture shift between the last two-three generations in the U.S.; we’ve really lost our morals from what’s being pumped onto us from television. I’m in my late 20′s and I remember the worse show on TV was “Married With Children” and at the time- it was very provocative. Nowadays that show would be classified as rated G compared to the new trends.
I’m sure no God fearing Christian (or God loving Christian for that matter) would want their kids to grow up resembling Lady Gaga over Virgin Mary (pbuh.) I think we ALL need to unite under one flag of people who want to live as God wants us to live with honor and modesty no matter what religion you claim to be. I’ve had many inter-religious dialouges with Christians and one thing we all agreed to is the thirst to live by the rules (or ways) that Jesus (pbuh) lived. Should a Muslim man be stereotyped on TV for wearing his beard like Jesus (pbuh)? Should a Muslim lady be stereotyped against for trying to dress up modestly like Mary(pbuh)? It seems no TRUELY pious Christian/Muslim has a problem with one another when they meet and exchanges dialogue. TV makes the fake “hatred” bigger than it really is. Do you really two people who say they love Jesus and want to mimic him can really want to harm one another?

But the bigger question is; will we allow the efforts of modern media to shape our minds? Will we allow them to create division? Will we learn how to be honorable and come to the need of people who are being picked on by a greater force? Did we shed as many tears for the million plus Iraqis who died during the war as we did for the victims of 9/11? Do you think God values citizenship and places one human higher than another?

God Bless

Great post, up to the point where you are sure Christians know the truth about Jesus. Muslims believe they know the truth about Jesus too, a different truth, one that is at least as valid as yours. So maybe Jesus is God or/and the son of God and died for Mur sins, or maybe he was just a prophet, like Mohamed, moses, Abraham… peace be upon them, and delivered his message the best he could, a message that shows us how to take responsibility for our own sins. One has to be brave enough to consider both possibilities. After all, we are all looking for the one and only truth

I agree completely. I worked with Muslim woman who has become a friend, and her values are on point. If her god said not to do something her and her family just obeyed. There was no questions asked. Their fear for their god is to be learned from. I also love that they are strongly against same sex marriage. If we Christians had that same obedience and fear of God we could make a huge change in this world!

What is clearly missing from your assessment of “family values” in the Muslim culture is the treatment of women. Take another look at the Muslim family values from a woman’s perspective on such practices as honor killings and female circumcision, appearing in public, wearing a burka, etc. Divorce, no, multiple wives, yes, child brides, yes. Hmmm.

Comment on Does God really ask us to love our enemies? by Jacob Wells

Yes, this is what Christ has called us to do, love our enemies. We’ll fail, of course, unless Christ empowers us.
