The Problem Is Islam

The terror attacks in Istanbul on January 1st, which ISIS claimed responsibility for, isn’t just a symptom that terrorism is a problem. Yes, terrorism is A problem, but it’s not THE problem. The problem is Islam.

I’m not a big fan of political correctness – we’re supposed to TOLERATE all religions, all ways of life, all thoughts. And that’s true – we are supposed to TOLERATE all of this, but it doesn’t mean that ALL religions are the TRUTH. It doesn’t mean that all ways of life are good for you and it doesn’t mean all thoughts are true.

For example, I could say that my dog is God. I could go out and start a new religion to worship my dog. But does it make it true? Surely you’ll think I’m crazy, but while you’ll tolerate me and my new religion, probably some of you might want to preach the Gospel to me so I give up on such a ridiculous idea that my dog is God.

Islam, my dear friend, is a FALSE religion – just like worshiping my dog would be. It’s a false religion that prioritizes WARFARE against us, the ‘infidels’. It’s a false religion whose main objective is to EXPAND into a GLOBAL CALIPHATE – much like the UN wants to expand its power to establish a NEW GLOBAL ORDER. Both the UN and Islam agree on a new global order – but they disagree on WHO will rule the world. Globalists want a communist dictator. Islam wants its ‘Madhi’, to impose sharia law.

The problem is Islam because of its IDEOLOGY. Islam is out of synch with FREEDOM. Islam is out of synch with PROGRESS. Islam is out of synch with PROSPERITY. Islam is out of synch with GOD!

The only religion that's in synch with FREEDOM is CHRISTIANITY - FREE WILL

Christianity is the ONLY religion where you can be truly FREE.

• You’re free from SIN
• You’re free from DEATH
• You’re free from DICTATORS
• You’re free to PROSPER
• You’re free to SPEAK
• You’re free from EVIL

Islam is the result of the thought process of Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. Muslims recognize Ishmael as their father. Do you know who Ishmael was? He was the son of Abraham – not the son God had promised Abraham and Sarah. No. He was the son Abraham had with his servant, Hagar. Abraham was too anxious and made the mistake to have a son with his own maid. God had made that promise years before Ishmael was born. Since nothing was happening, Abraham and Sarah thought they had to do something as they were already too old.  Abraham wasn’t patient. And we all know what happens to us when we’re not patient – we usually make mistakes. So Abraham made a mistake.

Some 14 years later Abraham and Sarah did have their promised son – Isaac. But things didn’t go too well in the Abraham home. Ishmael, a teenager by now, used to make fun of baby Isaac and at some point Sarah kicked both Ishmael and Hagar out of the house.

According to Genesis 16:12 an angel told Hagar that Ishmael ‘shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him’.

Ishmael was predestined to bring trouble into this world…

The problem is Islam. It all started 4000 years ago with troublemaker Ishmael, and followed with Muhammad in 610 AC, the founder of a false religion that promotes Jihad.

We need to witness. We need to evangelize. If you worship Allah, you’re worshiping a FALSE GOD. If you worship my dog, you’re worshiping a FALSE GOD. If you worship money, you’re worshiping a FALSE GOD. It’s ALL called IDOLATRY.

But all your sins are forgiven if you REPENT and accept JESUS as YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

Moses, Abraham, David, the apostles – they were all HUMAN and they’d all SINNED. Moses, Abraham, Saul, David and the Jews from before Jesus didn’t have the advantage that we have today of knowing Jesus Christ. But we have this wonderful book, the Bible, which tells us all we need to be saved is BELIEVE on Jesus Christ.

We’re saved by GRACE through FAITH. Once you’re saved, you’ll see the light. You’ll know the TRUTH. And you won’t want to sin anymore. No more jihadists, no more murderers, no more thieves, no more rapists…if we all believe…

Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
