Allah or Jesus?
By Rick Mattes
Last month I attended my annual training session that’s required
for
maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training
session there was a presentation by three speakers representing
the
Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths, who explained each
of
their belief systems.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.
The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete
with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:
“Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that most
Imams
and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against
the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which
is
a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven.
If
that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?”
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation,
he replied, “Non- believers!”
I responded, “So, let me make sure I have this straight. All
followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not
of
your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?”
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command
to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the
cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, “Yes.”
I then stated, “Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to
imagine
Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith
or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go
to
Heaven!”
The Imam was speechless.
I continued, “I also have a problem with being your friend
when you
and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me.
Let
me ask you one more question. Would you rather have your Allah who
tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells
me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to
be
there, too?”
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the
‘Diversification’ training seminar were not happy with Rick’s way
of
dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the
Muslim’s beliefs.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but
with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there
is no way this will be widely publicized. Please share this with others..
