MUSLIM BELIEF

MUSLIM BELIEF
>  
>     This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is
>     a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks
>     with God always gets to his destination. If you
>     have a pulse you have a purpose.
>  
>     The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion
>     per capita in the United States , especially in the
>     minority races!!!
>  
>     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 beliefs.
>  
>     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 i s not of your faith so they can
>     have a place in 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
>     been 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 all
>     Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a
>     place in heaven!'
>  
>     The Imam was speechless!
>  
>     I continued, 'I also have problem with being your
>     friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your
>     followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
>     Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to
>     kill me in order for you
>     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
>     with me?'
>  
>     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
>     Muslims' beliefs.
>  
>     In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in
>     the U.S. to elect the President! I think everyone in the
>     U.S. should be required to read this, but with the
>     ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized,
>     unless each of us send it on!
>     This is your chance to make a difference...

>     FOR GODS' SAKE! SEND THIS ON!
