Answer Just One Question

Eternity Road had a good post up Monday by Francis Porretto (as himself!). All three items are interesting, but the last caught my attention. It can be found here.

Among the wonders of the contemporary scene is the great number of Muslim apologists who believe that, if they repeat their falsehoods often enough and in enough fora, they really, really can persuade us all that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and Islam is just one more harmless Abrahamic religion.

Read the rest of the post. As I have said before, Islam is not a real religion, it is a cult masquerading as a religion. Islam means "submission." But by his very nature, a man does not love that to which he is forced to submit. He respects the authority, for sure. He may eventually see some wisdom in doing some of the things required, and he may philosophically figure that he may learn eventually of the value of others, but a man does not "love" the authority that forces his submission. Ever wonder why democracy is anathema to Muslims? It is because democracy implies that someone in the group has a different opinion. But if everyone perfectly reflected Islam, then everyone would have the same opinion.

By contrast, the first commandment God gave the ancient Hebrews was to love their God. And if they loved God, then they would love those whom God loved, namely their fellow man. This explains the whole of the Law of Moses, and it explains with even more clarity the message of Jesus himself. When you see a fellow in need, and tend to his needs, you are tending to God's needs. More theology than that is because we are too stiff necked (myself as the poster boy for this) to understand this simple message.
