Magellan's Log: Which Are the Bad Guys?

Which Are the Bad Guys?

Line up sermons of Islamic fundamentalists and Christian fundamentalists side by side, and this is what you see:


Muslims must… educate their children to Jihad. This is the greatest benefit of the situation: educating the children to Jihad and to hatred of the Jews, the Christians, and the infidels; educating the children to Jihad and to revival of the embers of Jihad in their souls. This is what is needed now… --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." -- Pat Robertson in fund raising letter in September of 1992.
In this distorted and deformed religion, to which many of the inhabitants of the earth belong, we can see how the Christians deviate greatly from the path of righteousness by talking about the concept of the Trinity. As far as they are concerned, God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: three who are one… --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	The spread of Islam through the centuries has been carried out largely on the battlefield. Islam has been advanced by the widespread use of war, torture and force of arms. Islam has swept over the world slaughtering Jews and Christians alike. The choice of all nations over which Islamic hordes have swept in history has been conversion to Islam or death. Islam is a fighting religion. Conquest is a religious duty in Islam. The Koran urges Muslims to take up arms against the infidel. "When ye encounter unbelievers, strike off their heads until ye have made a great slaughter among them, and bind them in bonds..." the Koran says. Kill thine enemy! is the practical teaching of Islam… --Laurence A. Justice, Liberty Baptist Church, Kansas City, Missouri.
Can we expect compassion from these murderous wolves? What made the Pope go on his visit was his dissatisfaction with the robbing of the Muslims' lands; he wanted also to rob their religion, so that they lose both this world and the Hereafter… --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02 [This is]… a call to dismantle the pact among Muslims in all the corners of the Islamic world and to replace it with an accursed alternative harmony - the 'Harmony of the Jews and Christians.' This is, in truth, a call to Muslims to stop accusing Jews, Christians, and other non-Muslims of being infidels… --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	Media have told us more about what Muslims believe than ever before. Islam worships one God, Allah, but that God is not our Heavenly Father. Not one of them will go to Heaven apart from faith in Jesus Christ. That's not a mean vindictive statement, nor is it an elitist statement to exclude anyone; nor is it an arrogant statement that we are the only "right ones." Just as God is broken hearted over every lost Islamic person--the fanatics included--so we the Church ought to be broken hearted over lost Muslims. Jerry Falwell, sermon, 9-8-02
And lo, today we see that they lie about security and peace - a security council here, a peace emissary there; a security plan here, a prayer for peace there. By Allah, who told you that wild animals can become human? Can wild animals give birth to anything other than wild animals? --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history. --Pat Robertson, 1993 interview with Molly Ivins
How can we draw near to these infidels?… They deny even the messengers sent to them. They do not believe in Moses, they do not believe in Jesus - because if they really believed in them, they would join Islam, because every prophet heralded to his nation the coming of the Prophet Muhammad and the need to believe in him … --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	Ensuring that our people are safe may mean building a wall from San Diego to Brownsville. If it does, then let's get busy with the construction. It may mean halting all visitor visas from nations linked to terrorists. It most certainly means we should be arming the pilots of all commercial airlines. Whatever it requires, we should be willing to take that step.
Permitting women to leave the home, so that they rub up against men in the marketplaces and talk with people other than their chaperones - with some even exposing parts of their bodies prohibited from exposure - are forbidden acts, a disgrace, and lead to destruction. --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them. --Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, January 14, 1991
The enemies learned the lesson of what happened to the Greek and Roman societies, which collapsed because of the woman's corruption. When these cultures began, the woman was protected and modest, and engaged in housework… Then [the Greeks and Romans] succeeded in their conquest, establishing mighty empires. When the woman began to beautify herself, and to go out to clubs and public places… she corrupted the moral values of the men, weakened their combat skills - and their civilization collapsed. Yes, these two mighty cultures collapsed, and [the enemies] maintain that the Muslim nation must collapse in such a way that will make it incapable of recovery. This is the strategic goal towards which the enemies of the Muslim nation strive… --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	Muhammad himself was a general, and could be vicious. Once he had hundreds of Jewish men beheaded because they would not assist him in battle. He is quoted as saying, "The sword is the key of heaven and hell; a drop of blood shed in the cause of Allah, a night spent in arms, is of more avail of two months of fasting or prayer: whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of judgment his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim." Is Islam a religion of peace? You can find beautiful and noble and lofty ideals in the Quran. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people. They repudiate the actions of the terrorists. But it is undeniable: bloodshed is in the genetic code of Islam, the original programming you might say, of Islam. Muslims today who repudiate the sword as the means of extending the reach of Islam do so at the risk of denying the origins of their own faith. --Glenn Layne, First Baptist Church, Temple City, Calfornia, 1-13-02
I warn of the danger [inherent] in the woman if she deviates from the divine path. The man can be steadfast in many battles, but surprisingly the same giant man often founders in the face of the woman and her enticements… The main reason for the downfall of Paris and the French army's swift surrender to the German armies, as historians have acknowledged, was overindulgence in urges and immersion in pleasure…"	Islam was founded by Muhammad, a demon-possessed pedophile who had 12 wives -- and his last one was a 9-year-old girl. And I will tell you Allah is not Jehovah either. Jehovah's not going to turn you into a terrorist that'll try to bomb people and take the lives of thousands and thousands of people.'' --Jerry Vines, First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida, 6-12-02
[Western] societies, the woman has become cheap merchandise, displayed naked or half-naked before the eyes of men… Women are servants in homes, clerks in offices, nurses in hospitals, hostesses on airplanes and in hotels, teachers of men in schools, film and television actresses. If they do not succeed in presenting the woman in these ways, they present her voice on the radio, as an announcer and a singer… As is known, the number of women in society surpasses the number of men. Nevertheless, they have limited marriage to a single wife, abandoning the rest of the women to corrupt and be corrupted… --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02 They travel unsupervised and live as strangers among strangers, with danger threatening from all sides. Thus, the enemies of Allah and of humanity have stripped the miserable woman of all the elements of a happy life and of all her social rights, so that she serves as a tool of corruption and destruction. You will be surprised to hear that in spite of these crimes, they claim that they are protecting the woman's freedom. --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	We must expect the European nations to further consolidate themselves as a revived Roman Empire. This is the prediction of the revived Roman Empire (Daniel 2). Daniel predicted four nations would rule the known world; first Babylon, second Medo-Persia, third Greece and fourth, Rome. This has happened as he predicted; then Daniel said the Roman Empire would be revived in the last days. I believe this will happen in this century, although I don’t know what form it will take. We expect a global economy which first manifests itself by a cashless society. When the Rapture takes place, Anti-Christ will step into the picture and create a one-world government, a one-world economy, a one-world religion. Therefore, I expect the world to move towards global economy in preparation for a one-world government. --Jerry Falwell, sermon, 6-9-02
Today, the Islamic nation already knows that the Holy Land will not be liberated by dallying at vacation sites or sitting around the negotiating table with infidels. The solution is to do what the Prophet did to the Jews when they violated the agreements… The solution regarding the Jews is as the Prophet Muhammad said: 'I have brought slaughter upon you'…Yes, the solution for these is not peace and harmony… Jihad, not peace, is the solution. --A sermon in Saudi Arabia, 9-20-02	Muslims never tire of reminding people that in the Crusades "Christians" swept over the holy land slaughtering Jews and Muslims by the hundreds of thousands. People need to keep in mind however that the Crusades were Roman Catholic crusades and that all Christians may not fairly be lumped with Roman Catholics… Is the god of Islam the God of the Bible? Are Allah and Jehovah one and the same? Clearly the answer is, No! According to the Bible Allah is not God, Mohammed is not his prophet, and the Koran is not the word of God. Islam is a false religion and utterly without power to save from sin because it doesn't recognize Jesus Christ as the Savior! --Laurence A. Justice, Liberty Baptist Church, Kansas City, Missouri.

The Christian texts are taken from various Internet sites. The Islamic texts come from the Middle East Media Research Institute (www.memri.org) which weekly publishes translations of recent Muslim sermons.
