Quote | FYI, Muslims, too, are people for whom Christ died. |
A claim that every single Muslim disagrees with. As do Hindus, Buddhists, Seiks, etc.
Quote | They are by and large trapped in a religious-ideological system that can too often become totalitarian, with a long history on this. |
As has Christianity.
Quote | The system explicitly denies the historically certain fact of Jesus’ crucifixion, much less the death and resurrection attested by 500+ witnesses and which launched the church with unstoppable power in witness to the gospel of salvation; nor does it acknowledge that this resurrection authenticates his claim to be Son of God with power. |
As do every single Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Seik, etc.
Quote | Such are grave spiritual manifestations indeed… |
No, they are honest religious differing or opinions.
Quote | Muslims, too, need the gospel, and it seems there is a whole movement of people whom Jesus is appearing to in dreams and calling to himself, with quite authentic conversions. |
Yes, some Muslims convert to Christianity. But, how do you explain the hundreds, if not thousands, of Christians who have converted to Islam? By your logic, Christians need the Quran.
Quote | I need no more than mention jihad by bands including the long history of suicidal raids going back to the assassin cult. |
Yet conveniently ignore the crusades, inquisition, witch hunts and cultural genocides caused by Christianity. The least you can do is be honest enough to admit that Christianity has its fair share of blood on its hands.
Quote | There is a massive media/ elites denial of these well demonstrated facts, and we will have to deal with this also. |
The media is far from perfect, but I don’t see any denial of the dangers of radical Islam. What I see from them is an effort to distinguish the radical aspect from the vast majority of Muslims. Just as they distinguish the nut-jobs from the Westboro Baptist Church from the vast majority of Christians.
Quote | As for conspiracy theories, you have utterly distorted what I have noted, which is that we do not know enough to know what has actually happened, and a wide range of possibilities obtains. |
I assume that this is in response to your link about the Quebec City terrorist attack. I’m sorry, but when someone posts a link to a completely unsubstantiated festering pile of conspiracy theories, what am I supposed to think? There is absolutely no evidence (zero, zip, nada) that their was any Islamic link to the act other than the fact that the victims were Muslim.
Quote | As just one test, kindly see if you can readily explain the significance of the occasion of which Sept 11 2001 is the 318th anniversary, less one day, and why this event is memorialised in a constellation in the sky. |
And people claim to see images of the Virgin Mary in their toast, mashed potatoes and potatoe chips. This has more to do with what you want to see than with reality. But if you are suggesting that the event and date had significant meaning to the perpetrators of 911, you won’t get any argument from me. But why the 318 minus a day? Were there no planes scheduled to fly on September 12th?
