That Islam is “peace and tolerance” is the most popular lie in the world today. Intellectuals in the West who defame Christ parrot the most fatuous praise of Muhammad, in spite of his legacy of murder, pillage, and rape. A Sesame Street-type Arabic TV program features children training to be suicide bombers and chanting “Death to Israel”—for peace, of course.
That our leaders promote this lie, and that so many believe it without one fact to support it, bodes ill for America and the world. We only ask Muslims for one example of where and when Islam ever brought peace and tolerance—and please don’t threaten us with death (the standard Islamic persuasion) for asking!
Westerners naively accept Allah, who inspired Muhammad, as the God of the Bible. Yet Allah has no son, and rejects the Trinity (Surah 4:171, Qur'an), is unknowable, and was the pagan idol/god of Muhammad's tribe before he was born. Allah tells Muslims, "Take not the Jews and Christians for friends...slay the idolaters [infidels] wherever ye find them. ...Fight against those who...believe not in Allah nor the Last Day" (Surah 5:51;9:5,29,41). But the triune God of the Bible wants men to know Him (Jer:9:24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
See All...), a knowledge essential to salvation (Jn:17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
See All...). Jews are His "chosen people" (Ex:6:7; Lev:20:26And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
See All...; 1 Chr:16:13O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
See All...; Ps:105:6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
See All..., etc.) and Christians are His dearly loved children (Rom:8:16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
See All..., Rom:8:21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
See All...; Gal:3:26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
See All...; Eph:1:5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
See All...; Eph:5:1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
See All..., etc.). —Dave Hunt, TBC "Islam's Peace," March 2003 and "Islam and the Gospel," April 1999
