Muslim holy man hails Ft.Hood hero!

Most Muslims do not commit acts of violence.

Most Christians do not commit acts of violence.

Most Jews do not commit acts of violence even though the portion of the Bible they believe in commands them to kill all non-Jews within the borders of the ancient land of Canaan. Are they not good Jews beacause they don't do so?

I reject such thinking toward both Jews and Muslims. It is sad to see Christians, who should know better, engage in such prejudice.

Ken, I wrote this on another thread as well where you made a similar comment.

The Jews were commanded by God to fight and conquer the pagans in the land God was giving them. This was done on God's initiative - not on Israel's!! It was God's judgment on the pagans who had turned to false gods. This is pretty clear in the OT. I assume you've read the OT?

God is not telling the Muslims to do these things because they are not Israel.

There is no comparison between what Israel did in the OT and what the Muslims who commit violence are doing now.

And when Israel tried to fight without God's command, they go in trouble with God.

Most Muslims do not commit acts of violence.

Surah 9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Then they are poor muslims who do not do what they have been told by their 'god', in their 'bible'.

Most Christians do not commit acts of violence.

Please show the corresponding Holy Scripture where we, as Christians, are to kill others who do not come to the One, True God.

Most Jews do not commit acts of violence even though the portion of the Bible they believe in commands them to kill all non-Jews within the borders of the ancient land of Canaan.
(That was under God's orders, not the Jews. When they dis-obeyed, they were punished for not doing what they were told, were dispersed, and are not under that order anymore.) (Unless you know of some hidden scripture only you are privy to.)

I reject such thinking toward both Jews and Muslims. Then you reject God's Bible and his teachings. Unless you can show the world where God's Scripture shows otherwise, please pray and study God's Word. It is sad to see Christians, who should know better, engage in such prejudice.

It it sad that you would show your ignorance of the Scriptures to the WWW, (world-wide-web), and to a Christian web-site.
I am so glad that you are saved.
But as one who is obviously still feeding on milk, maybe you should read and pray for more understanding, so that one day you may feed on meat.
With God's help and guidance, you will lose your 'worldly' understanding.

Why is islam even being compared to christianity, to the bible, there is no comparision, the bible and christianty are true, islam is not, there can be non possible comparision, unless you think islams claims are valid. Just making the comparision gives validity to islam.
