Stephen Brown and Jamie Glazov wrote about Islam’s Peace Offensive
In a move eerily reminiscent of the Soviet “peace offensives”, 138 leading Muslim scholars have composed a letter to Christianity’s leaders, with Pope Benedict’s name heading the list, requesting a meeting to discuss the “common essentials of our two religions.” The authors warn that “the survival of the world” is at stake if the two religions do not make peace, which, the Muslim authors believe, is possible since the basis of Islam and Christianity is “the two commandments of love.”
While it is at least admirable that these learned representatives of Islam acknowledge that their religion is at war with Christianity (since much of the Christian world is in denial), the main sticking point, the letter makes clear, is the aggressive nature of Christianity. The Muslim scholars emphasize that:
“As Muslims, we say to Christians that we are not against them and that Islam is not against them – so long as they do not wage war against Muslims on account of their religion, oppress them and drive them out of their homes.”
Even Gary Bauer took this as a sign that “the moderates were coming to life”. I wrote to tell him he doesn’t understand what they are saying.
-
“What these Muslims mean by this is totally divergent with what you assume they mean. Islam considers any resistance to the spread of Islam, Sharia law and the caliphate is an act of war against Muslims and oppresses them”.
This article goes on to quote chapter and verse in support of the real meaning and illustrates the disingenuousness of the authors.
Phyllis Chesler also weighs in with her article An Urgent Call to all infidels about the so-called MUSLIM “PEACE” INITIATIVE
The Investigative Project on Terrorism has a great article on the subject which Soren recommended, titled A Common Word Between Us and You is a Call for Conversion
All articles are very informative.
Of course this is a complete inversion of reality, as muslims are the ones waging war against others on account of their religion and oppressing them and attempting to drive them out of their homes. This statement alone proves the disingenousness of this so-called “peace” initiative.
Islam cannot be reformed.
Islam is Islam.
Islam is as Islam does.
Muhammad was the sole prophet of Islam.
Muahmmad was a:
-genocidal murderer
-liar
-pedophile
-rapist
-misogynist
-pirate
-thief
-kidnapper
-slave trader
-anti-Semite (in the truest sense)
-Christophobe
-demagogue
The life and times of Muhammad are well documented in the Qur’an, Sunnah (Hadith) and Sira (biography of Muhammad).
Deu 18 tells us not to tolerate false prophets who promote false and evil doctrines.
There is no such thing as ‘Radical Islam.’
There are pious Muslims and Hypocrites.
Pious Muslims are those like: Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri. They follow and adhere to Islamic scripture. Hypocrite Muslims do not follow or adhere to Islamic scripture. Hypocrite Muslims, according to Allah (via Muhammad) are to burn in the hottest portion of hell.
Jihadists are authentic, fumdamentalist, Muhammaden Muslims.
Islam, its prophet
and its scripture are evil incarnate.
We should oppose Islam as we opposed and continue to oppose Nazism. Islam is more dangerous than Nazism ever
was given the fact
that it is wrapped in a ‘religion’ and practiced by 1.2 billion (or so) individuals.

The letter by 138 leading Muslim scholars to Christianity’s leaders, with Pope Benedict’s name heading the list, requesting a meeting to discuss the “common essentials of our two religions, ends with:
What is not addressed in these articles is the disingenuousness of the words I have bolded.
These words must be thrown back at the 138 scholars with a clear message, that is is only the Muslims who have allowed their hatreds of non-Muslims, especially Jews and Christians to cause the strife and that strife is all coming from many Muslims in the world against non-Muslims. Add to that, Muslim sectarian angers and hatreds are causing deadly violence between Muslims.
These 138 Islamic scholars must be challenged to admit that the hatred and violence comes only from many Muslims directed against non-Muslims and Muslims.
They should be further challenged that if these 138 Muslim scholars truly want to dialogue with non-Muslims on matters religious, they had best not only make the admission, but act to reform those aspects of the house of Islam that teaches, preaches, breeds and instills with many Muslims such hatreds of non-Muslims that find expression in the most diabolical evil and deadly ways.
I would suggest that everyone read Islamic scripture – The Qur’an and Hadith.

It is imperative that we all learn the truth about Islam and Muhammad.
