This poor Muslim Cleric has no idea what he's talking about, and basically makes a fool out of himself. The sad part though is he's a very famous and respected scholar, whom many listen to and trust. You know, it's not much different from many Christians who assert things about Islam and Muslims as if they are experts on the subject. On contentious issues, we tend to grab a hold of any tidbits of information that smear our opponent, and make us look good. If our enemy is burning our flag, we think... let's burn their holy book. I have heard the most heinous things stated about Mohammad, the Muslim prophet, about Muslims in general and about the Middle East from those that I once respected as stalwarts of the Christian faith. Romans says "Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors." (The Message). Christians are supposed to live differently. That was the idea, that we'd be a community of faith that stood out, that others would want to be a part of because of the love evident amongst us. So, how about it? How can we live differently, so that Muslims will notice Christ and not feel threatened? |
