    I think the best thing for that letter is have the Postal Service mark it up "Return to Sender." My take on Islam is that if they had the power, we would all be converted or dead.

    Do you believe this is a "wolf-in-sheep's-clothing" effort, then?

    I believe it is setting the stage for the antichrist and one world religion. Jesus' coming is not that far off, folks :godisgood:

    This news thrills me :D

    Call it what you want. I do not believe there is one ounce of good will towards God or man inside them. What would they possibly have to gain by sending such a letter that is honest?

    Well, after reading the article, if it IS an honest letter, then apparently the "gain" would be sitting down to discuss ways to rid the world of terrorism by finding some "common ground" wherein we (Christians/muslims) would agree that violence is wrong??? I guess that's too much to ask for though. *sigh*

    You, unfortunately, are probably right. I wish it were not so.

    And you, FORTUNATELY, are probably right as well.

    Which reminds me to ask--(I know I can search--just thought someone might know quickly)--have there been BB threads about the Islamic religion and the Bible?

    Do not get me wrong. I would have no problem living with the Hindus, Buddists, Taoists, Shintos, or any other faith that does not require human sacrifice for non conversion.

    I wish you were right, that we could sit down with them to stop terrorism. Terrorism is in their heart. Letters and sitting down to talk does not solve that.

    Thank you very much for posting this link. This is some of the most positive news that I have read in a long time. Muslims and Christians(and other religions) being able to sit down and reason together is an absolutely wonderful development. May God bless these efforts.

    Maybe it's a ploy to get all of the Christian heads in one place so they can "take care of them." Sorry, it's my fascitious side coming out. I don't believe it's anything to take seriously.

    A true muslim sees things:

    True muslim - peace

    Infidels, jews, christians - enemy

    This is nothing but a front, or done by 130 "professors" who really don't know their Q'ran. The Q'ran says they should be killing us...not having peace meetings with us. I believe it is nothing more than an effort to get all religions to see them as something they are not...and embrace them. If you think about it, how else will the antichrist have the whole world on one religion without Islam doing this?

    Webdog, your response is in the right direction. All of Islam's efforts are directed toward establishing their religion and Shari'a Law (Muslim Law) in every nation in the world. We can certainly participate in a forum and easily agree to "live in peace" with most anyone providing they are not out to kill me, my family or neighbors.

    Muslims are taught from the very beginning that Jews and Christians evolved from monkeys and dogs. They certainly haven't gotten anywhere with their threats and such including the letter to President Bush from Iran's Adamininut stating that Bush and American should convert to Islam because we would be MUCH happier if we submitted our nation to Shari'a law....

    Now, my take on this from my 4-years studying terrorism and Islamic radicals is that these are the "high priests" who would be regarded as weak and compromising were they to undertake an agreement in earnest with the 'enemy'. I expect that they are looking for ANY reason at all to claim that we will not participate or will make demands on them to end the radicals attacks on innocent people (which you didn't find anywhere in the article by the way). That way they can justify their "Holy War" against the kafur (infidels, westerners and Christians). Or, they hope that they can convince those participating from the western world let down their guard and persuade them that Islam is no threat to them. It's a lie. They are told in the Quaran that lying and deceit are justified and OK if it used to accomplish their mission of eliminating the unbelievers. They feel eliminating us will make it easier to accomplish their missing of converting (or killing) the rest of the world and establishing their 'Caliphate' (world ruled by Islam).

    Yes, I believe this another small piece of the puzzle that sets the state for
    the "final confrontation" in the end times. The Iranian President is hoping for a reason to be the 'trigger' that starts the war eliminating the Jews, America and the rest of the non-believing world....

    There are a lot of resources, books and articles, on Islam's missing to take over the world. They've been trying to do that since the 300's. They were very nearly annihilated then but, they have always managed to survive and re-populate. We simply cannot let our guard down at all.

    There is no reason to scratch your head. I will tell you out front that I do not hate Muslims nor do I bash and malign them on this board.

    Since the Germans our nation was fighting against in World War II were of the Christian religion I wonder if the Muslim bashers on this board would have been bashing Christians back then.

    Frankly, I am thankful to God that I was already a Christian before I started reading the posts on this board. If I hadn't been I doubt that what it posted would have persuaded me to become one. Rather, many of the posts on this board would have likely caused me to run away from Christianity. Thankfully, I have a relationship with Christ Jesus regardless of the attitude exhibited by some posters on this board.

    A relationship with Jesus Christ has nothing to do with not being able to discern the enemy. Don't you get it, these people want you, your family, and way of life to disappear.

    Some Muslims do. Just like some Christians, such as Timothy McVeigh did, want to kill other people, too.

    Do you really think that bashing Muslims personally is going to lead them to Christ Jesus?

    If taken to its logical end, Islam has no room for the Christian faith.

    Too many failed predictions for me to take this seriously, but you might be onto something.

    No doubt that many Muslims on an individual basis have become Christians because of the grace of God. As a totality however, it is a force of pure evil that has no regard or respect for life outside the Muslim faith.
