Dearborn responds to Angle comments

[PatrickSebast]

When Christians do it, they are accused of trying to institutionalize a new theocracy, shoving their morality down others throats, and a whole host of other things.

I suppose that does happen in some instances, but that only further represents what kind of crowd you are falling in with if you try to claim Muslims are trying to slip the one of the oppressive forms of Sharia law into our government.

 

[RobbyS]

That is a completely different issue, and again has nothing to do with Sharia Law. In fact it is because of constitutional law that Muslims are allowed to build there. And yes Angle is allowed to make these statements, but when she makes them they display that she either lacks competence or honesty.

I suggest you watch “Islam and Christianity” which features the evangelical pastor Timothy George. Don’t think I have seen a better comparison of the two religions. Part 2 has, I think, an extraordinary discussion of the doctrine of the Trinity. I think, as a Catholic, that his view is limited by his view of the Church, since for the first nine hundred years the clash between
the two faiths involved the Orthodox and Catholics. and Protestant Christians had very little contact until the 17th and 18th centuries. In any case, I think we are dealing with a faith that is radically different from either Christianity or Judaism. One approach to dialogue with Muslims has been that orthodox Christianity is nothing like the faith condemned in the Koran. But Muslims are bound to believe that this" alternative" is also not true, because it is based on corrupt texts. The only truths about Jesus --Isa–are in the Koran.

What do you think is happening in Europe now? They are living a nightmare. People who do not believe that the Ground Zero Mosque is meant as a monument to Islamic triumph are willfully deluding themselves. Blessings, Rob :blush:
