The pseudo-”christian” left is at it again. The Left never ceases to find new ways to give aid and comfort to our enemies….

One supposes that Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was full of warm and fuzzy feelings for the students in the school in which she taught, in Khartoum. Miss Gibbons was a deputy headteacher at Liverpool’s Dovecot Primary School from 2002 to…

Makes one ashamed of Christian leaders. The church is no friend in this battle.

At least these churches, which are more feel-good, warm, fuzzy Sunday morning social clubs than actual churches.

Or is irrationality the heart of Islam?

Yes, and it is the heart of liberalism. Evil is good, good is evil, freedom is slavery, etc.

The Religion of Peace strikes again:
A British teacher is facing 40 lashes in a Sudanese jail if convicted of insulting Islam’s prophet by letting children name a teddy bear Mohammed.
Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was arrested on suspicion…

It appears from even a cursory reading of the above, that all of the mayhem committed as the result of “non-inidividual,” (e.g. Hamas, Taliban) violence against Christians, and all the violence which has been committed *not* “in reaction to” the Pope’s speech is not being condemned. (It smacks of one of the those, “I’m sorry you misunderstood what I said,” kind of apologies, except here it’s “We’re sorry that what you said drove these people to do this.”) Given the systematic persecution of Christians in, for example, the West Bank, I think the Muslims got a pretty good deal here apology-wise. The Christians abjectly apologize for something that happened (not at the hands of their denominations, mind you, a distinction that they might have drawn, given that the Muslim writers did it by implication) centuries ago, while the Muslims give this tepid, limited apology for something that is on-going, without even any acknowledgement of the systematic nature of the persecution of Christians that is taking place even as I write this.

This kind of ideologically inspired need to apologize for one’s own existence (what else is being apologized for, when Protestant clergy apologize for what Catholics did before there were even Protestants) is the same kind of suicidal impulse found at the heart of what is consuming British (and French) culture.

It is nauseating, and it is dangerous. It’s like saying, “I’m so sorry my face got in the way of your fist.” I’m all for this kind of exchange, but it must be characterized by intellectually honesty, not this sort of humbug.

Here are just a few things the Christian clergy might have brought up if they hadn’t been so busy apologizing for the Crusades:

These reports come from respected news sources from all over the world, and were gathered in about 2 minutes off of google using the search terms “Christians fear Muslims.”

Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

It’s encouraging to hear other Christians, denounce these ‘Christian leaders’ not just for their dhimminess but more importantly for their bad theology.

Unfortunately, our voices are not heard because
many people like their ears to be tickled
and these men will gladly do it.

The sadest part of this is that many will never hear your concerns because most of ACM (American Christian Media) doesn’t want to say anything bad about its most ’successful’ mega-church pastors.

Among those that protect these ‘leaders’ are radio stations within the MD, DC, and VA area.

Awesome link, Laura.

What the heck??

How does the “All-Merciful One” also advise “strike at their necks” (i.e.- behead them) in his “holy” book, the “Recitation” (AKA: al-Koran)?

Sounds pretty merciless to me.

Or is irrationality the heart of Islam?

Before we “shake your hand” in responding to your letter, we ask forgiveness of the All-Merciful One and of the Muslim community around the world”, they said in the letter which was made available to the press here yesterday.

What the heck??

Somebody please explain to these idiots that they can’t believe in both Christianity and the existence the “All-Merciful One” at the same time.

By asking forgiveness from another god…..what they effectively did was renounce their God and their faith.

Laura on November 26, 2007 at 7:11 PM

Bingo. And they’re going to be waiting a loooong time for forgiveness from Allah.

realVerse on November 26, 2007 at 4:19 PM

Exactly.

Do they love Christ the King or money and power?

Rest assured, I do not hate Muslims, quite the opposite. I was brought up to care about, love, and pray for the Muslim world. Nevertheless, I can’t let the love I have for them deceive me into thinking that there is nothing malignant in their faith, something that causes many of them to hate non-Muslims with a disturbing passion, something that will keep them out of fellowship with their Creator. I don’t think this malignancy is inherent to the people group, I think it is inherent to the beliefs they are taught in Islam. Stop the teachings, stop the terror.

hate terrorism, not islam.

Category error.

Boy, I’m sure glad you happened by so that I could find out that 1)I’m not a real Christian after all (I will now go overhaul my whole belief system) and that 2) all those security checks I go through in order to ride buses, buy groceries, and drink coffee in Israel are just bigoted overreactions by those who misunderstand the Islamic concept of the internal struggle to live a virtuous life.

tikvah on November 26, 2007 at 7:15 PM

nope all those security checks are because of terrorism. hate terrorism, not islam.

Shhhh!!! We don’t talk about that one!!!
