Featured Why do Christians support immigration?

My opinion only. The screen shot of the second video has no place on this site.

 

And the thread title is a bit misleading.

 

If you think Christians who support immigration (apparently Muslim immigration by the looks of this post) are "supportive" of Islam, you are self-deluded.

Some Muslims do hate us, but not all Muslims hate us. Only racists and fools judge whole people groups on the basis of what a few think and do.

Some want to kill us, but most don't.

Fun facts:
(1) Not every Muslim is a Muslim cleric.
(2) Muslim clerics who get media attention are usually the ones who are saying something extremely provocative.
(3) There are many examples - some even being reported by the media - of Muslims protecting Christians against the murderous thugs who use Islam as an excuse to persecute.

I don't know "how can they such fools" either.

 

You, ChristheSaved, were talking to a guy while you were in physically in Amarillo, Texas?

As far as your media sources go, you need to pick better things to read. There are some issues with the cultural differences and the realities of people who have been uprooted from their homes, but hardly the disaster portrayed in the stories you cited. Much of the issue has come from false right-wing reports (like you cited) and simple prejudice.

YouTube videos probably not the best resource for research.

 

Christians are ambassadors for Yeshua and his Kingdom. This means we are foreigners and exiles even in the United States. Our job is not to be comfortable and avoid sinners. Our job is to bring the message of reconciliation to a world bent on rebelling against God and God's kingdom. To live is Christ. To live is not...to be rich, comfortable and self consumed. We show compassion to whomever God brings to our lives because we know we are exiles in a world of rebels to our Lord and Saviors Kingdom. Yet, we realize we were once a part of the rebel camp. We are on a rescue mission. It is our job and calling. God is Sovereign no matter which people he places at our doorstep.
I suggest people read "No God but One" by Nabeel Qureshi, a former Muslim who came to faith in Yeshua our Savior. No fear, only faith!

 

I can pull up videos of every ethnic group (white, black, brown, etc.) and religious group (Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.) saying and doing hateful things. It is not evidence of the views and attitudes of whole people groups. Your arguments remind me of the conversations I heard growing up about black people. They would say that all black people were criminals, troublemakers, or lazy, and they would point to the evening news as evidence. Arguments like that are false.

I know quite a few people who are in the trouble spots working in Christian ministry. They tell me a different story. Unlike you, they don't lump everyone into the same mold.

 

Okay, fine. I just wanted to clear that up. I pass through Amarillo from time to time (never stay at the Fifth Season Hotel!!!) and know some people there. They have not said anything about there being significant trouble.

The links you provided clearly have a bias.

One of the links I posted was the hometown newspaper who points out that Breitbart did not report honestly. I think I will go with the source that is actually there and accountable to the community.

 

CTS, thank you for a glimpse of a part of Islam.

How big is that part? No one knows.
Why are the Muslim "moderates" of Islam silent?

This is an ancient war.
Jihad is an ancient doctrine as well as their war cry giving glory to their god which I will not repeat.

Look at ISIS history if you doubt what their desire is - To kill, torture, rape and pillage all who name the name of Christ as well as ALL other religions as well as muslims with whom they don't like.

Take a look at what the "Junior Varsity" has done...

They have promised to come to America, they are here.

We MUST filter this cancer of humanity out of the unvetted throngs of refugees.

Even at that al taqiyya allows them to lie and deceive the infidel - so just a verbal agreement with the Constitution and Bill of Rights will be useless.

In other words Profiling their history is necessary.

When I applied for Bible school upon acceptance I was required to sign a covenant agreement that I would not use alcohol or tobacco. Others were not required to do so.
I asked why.

I was told - because I had come out of the Catholic Church.

The point? I was profiled for my past so in some sectors of modern Christianity profiling is acceptable.

Why not at the government level to save life from these deceivers and murderers (wolves in sheep's clothing)?

Have you ever been in Europe?

I spent about half my time in Europe from 2005 to 2013 and never saw what you suggest. There may have been such an incident, but is would be a very rare one. You know you can search the Internet and find anything you want to fine. It is like proof-texting the Bible.

 

So how many such incidents are OK here in the US in your view CTB.
How many beheadings (which they have promised) are acceptable to you?

One does not have to search the internet for the ISIS declaration of war against America
How many Orlando's or San Bernadino's are acceptable?

Were these two countries Afghanistan and Iraq, and were you dressed in the uniform of a serviceman?

If so:
(1) Thank you for your service.
(2) Your experience with the population is probably colored more by your purpose and presence in the region than your religion.
