You have no problem mocking or what ever something of Islam, even though it is very similar to parts of Christianity, like the clothing, call them bag ladies when addressing Islam, but get defensive when someone brings up the fact that Christianity did/still does wear clothing simliar, then say you didn’t mock the nuns, who look very similar to the ones of Islam you did.
The CCC and John Paul II taught that the Islamic faith is a faith of God, same as our God, that we need to find common ground and build upon that and try for dialogue between the two. I have never heard that Islam wants to destroy Christianity, in fact I have seen it and heard that the Qur’an makes exceptions for the destroy infedel thing for Jews and Christians, because they are taught that we three follow the same God.
How many times have intolerant statements from the Quran been posted here stating the reverse of what you’re saying?
What is it going to take to make you wake up from your lovely PC dream, a Muslim advancing towards you brandishing a scimitar & yelling “ALLAHU AKBAR”?
Where did John Paul II say that islam is a religion of GOD? In the catechism it states:
The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day"
That does not state that Islam is from God! It states that they PROFESS to hold the faith of Abraham, but that does not mean that they do. Is “Allah” the God of Abraham or a false god created by Mohammed? Do you believe that the Quran is the word of God?
I think you’re making more of his statement than what he meant to convey.
Jesus lost control of his anger once, everyother time he kindly and respectfully
shared the truth with people not challenging and threatening them. He talked even to the sinners and what not, with love and peace, not you appose my faith so I hate your teachings and you’re going to Hell if you don’t convert now stuff. Jesus never came out and said such things instead he turned the other cheek and spoke of the truth and allowed people to hear it and come by faith to their decisions. A peaceful friendly faith who is open to others and respectful gains much more respectability then one that condemns and lashes out at those who have different teachings. I am starting to fail in my own faith in the Church just listening to the terrible things I’ve heard on this forum about Islam in particular. If this is how the followers of the Church are turning out to be then I don’t know, it is offsetting and disappointing to hear such things. I guess if/when I continue with my dreams of becoming clergy I can be able to do more to help the CHurch wiht getting it’s own views out there for the followers to follow. It becomes more and more evident that few here truly know what is taugt by the Church and it’s standings on certain things.
Jesus still called a spade, a spade and he still used the word “hypocrites” when necessary! Do you honestly believe that Jesus would condone false teachings?
