The Iraqi christians I was blessed to work with had thier families in other countries to avoid them being killed.Anyone who has seen Islam in the middle east would say that our local muslims are meek and preaching a watered down version. Jesus' disciples said, "Let's reason together". Mohhamad's followers and generals said, "convert or die". I'll let todays modern educated minds make them up.Burney_B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16476345781225601700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38565675.post-20143584170978195042007-08-03T14:40:00.000-05:002007-08-03T14:40:00.000-05:00My main point of contention (though maybe not the ...My main point of contention (though maybe not the point with the most words) was that believing something about Christ does not make one a Christian. <BR/><BR/>Believing that He is God, He became a man, He died on the cross to pay for our sins, and rose again to conquer death makes one a Christian. <BR/><BR/>As a person who is not a member of the local mosque, I must have faith that they are not terrorists. In the city in which I lived before Shreveport (not too far from here), the mosque 2 miles from my house ended up being shut down by the FBI because they were raising money for and sending money to al-Qaida.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38565675.post-27682770111619079622007-08-02T16:05:00.000-05:002007-08-02T16:05:00.000-05:00Actually, those ideas about Jesus require faith.

I think it's fairly significant and unique among world religions that Muslims share those beliefs about Jesus, even though they don't believe he is divine.<BR/><BR/>My point in writing this was to remind folks that the Muslims who are our neighbors, doctors and co-workers are not terrorists. We actually have some common ground. And they certainly do not deserve to have their place of worship vandalized.Diane Librohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452620229483008130noreply@blogger.com
