The “religion of peace and tolerance” is at it again...this is not strictly a post about the persecuted church, as we know it today. But, "the day will come..."
Sheik Abu Saqer, leader of Gaza’s Jihadia Salafiya Islamic outreach movement, which seeks to make secular Muslims more religious, called the pope a “puppet” for “that crusader George Bush.”
Muslims around the world are “protesting” the pope’s quotation of Byzantine emperor Manuel Il Paleologus, who wrote, “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
The pope explained that the intent of the quote was to call for a dialogue on the role of religions in modern life.
Saqer said the only Christian-Muslim dialogue that is acceptable is one in which “all religions agree to convert to Islam."
Followers of Islam – in protest to being labeled a religion of violence – have killed a nun, churches have been attacked in the West Bank and Gaza Strip – a group calling themselves the “Lions of Monotheism” claim responsibility for the church attackes, saying the violence is in response to the pope (calling Islam a religion of violence – do you all see the irony here?)
We have been warned:
“The day will soon come when the green flag of the La Illah Illah Allah (there is no god but Allah) and Muhammad Rasul Allah (Muhammad is the prophet of Allah) will be raised upon the Vatican and all around the world and on the fortresses of those who want to destroy Islam, because they know that this religion obliges them to face the truth that Islam is Allah’s favorite religion. And until they join Islam, hell is their last station.” – Abu Saqer
