A Note to Progressives

I have been watching the news about the various Middle East nations, as well as the news about Muslims here at home. I am more convinced than ever that the so-called "god" Mohammad was talking to, and whose words he was writing down in the Koran, was not the God I worship in the name of Jesus Christ. Reza Kahlili (a pseudonym) has an article today on the gross killings, mutilations and torture that continues in Iran entitled Islam, Human Rights & the Iranian Regime's Killing Spree. A quote:

In the summer of 1988, over 30,000 political prisoners were executed in a very short period of time and buried in mass graves. Thousand of intellectuals, journalists, poets, writers, students, and political activists have been murdered by the agents of the Ministry of Intelligence with utmost cruelty, some in their homes. The founder and leader of the Nation of Iran Party, Dariush Forouhar along with his wife, Parvaneh, were among them. The assailants entered their home, tied the husband and wife to chairs, faced them toward Mecca, and stabbed them to death, mutilating their bodies.

For those inclined to excuse these abuses, saying for instance that all that occurred a long time ago, let Kahlili bring you up to date:

Since the beginning of 2011, in just three weeks, Iran has hanged over 95 prisoners - many charged as "Mohareb," enemy of God, and many on false charges of drugs. Hundreds of political activists have been imprisoned and thousands remain on the execution list waiting for Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, to clear the way for another mass execution.

Progressives, Socialists, Communists, Fascists, and others on the left seem to think that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. They seem sure that after the Muslims have created enough chaos, they will be able to sweep in and control them, so they say nothing. But the enemy of my enemy remains my enemy. These people believe they are doing God's work, so they are not going to back down.  If you an not quite bring yourselves to stand with those of us who appreciate our Western traditions, at least don't support the enemy.

One of the lessons of the life of Jesus was that each man and woman must come to God of his or her own free will.  If you have a law that he will be beheaded for not praying toward Mecca 5 times a day, you will ensure a great deal of public piety.  But what is in these peoples' hearts?  It would certainly be within God's power, seeing as he knows what is in their hearts, to strike down all who deny him.  But he doesn't do it.  I believe he doesn't because he loves us, and wants to give us every chance.  So our God loves life, the Muslim Allah loves death.  Where do you stand, Progressives.
