Kafirs have a basic instinct when faced with Islam. They
make compromises in the face of force and terror. We will do things our way
based on Judeo-Christian morals and ethics: Islam can reform and life will be
good. You cannot meet a philosophy of force with compromise. Reform of Islam is
a logically impossible. Since most kafirs don’t know anything about the history
of Islam, they think that we will work this out like we always have. We will
find middle ground. This is a crucial error in western Christianized thinking
that our rules apply to Islam. Here’s the problem. Even if a Muslim wanted to
leave Islam, it is a death sentence. They would become an apostate. An apostate
is worse than a kafir. The Qur’an says that apostasy is a crime worse than mass
murder.
As a true Christian, Islam will not even recognize you as a
follower of Jesus. How is that you say? Simple really, Islam teaches that true
Christians are those who say that Jesus was a Muslim prophet; there is no
crucifixion, no resurrection and no Trinity (this is exactly why Muslim Imam
and clerics often agree with liberal theology in Christianity). The only true
Jews are those who admit that the Torah is wrong and that Muhammad was the last
in the line of Jewish prophets. Otherwise, you are not a Christian or Jew in
the eyes of Islam. Lousy start point for conversation. In Islam the only real
Christians and Jews are dhimmis, since they must declare the Scriptures to be
corrupt and that Muhammad is the last prophet of both Jews and Christians.
Those who don’t are not true Christians and Jews by Islamic standards, but
kafirs.
In western culture, there is the ability to criticize our
own actions and the action of our political and religious leaders and correct
mistakes. Criticism of Islamic religion or politics by Muslims is rare and for
a kafir can lead to a deadly end. We learned this from Danish Muhammad cartoons
and the Charlie Hebdo attacks. So when Islam says you are free to say anything
you want, you are…just don’t offend a Muslim. As for religion and politics…the
US Constitution separates the church and state, but Islam demands that religion
and state be combined as one unit. In Islam these are inseparable because it is
a theocracy.
As a Christian my correct response to Islam is a fearless
and compassionate explanation of the Gospel to Muslims. It is the only thing
powerful enough to reach into the mindset where Muslims are at. The few points
of commonality like Jesus and the portions of Scripture lifted from the Bible
are always a good place to start. My best advice is to start with Jesus and see
where it goes from there.
