richy, I don't know where you got the idea that I thought God was just a Christian. My post did NOT say such a thing. God is the Supreme Being that caused the universe, and everything in it, IMO. That is a great deal broader than what you have just accused me of.
As far as the people of Asia, and the Middle East, I presume you are talking about Muslims. The Quran, hadith, al-Ma-idah, Pickthal, at-Taubah, Yusufali, and Sahih Bukhari, make it clear the Muslims are exhorted to kill infidels, even if they are innocent men, women, and children. According to them, a Muslim will be rewarded once for killing an innocent infidel, and twice for killing an infidel enemy. I have quotations, but believe that you should read these texts of Islam yourself, so you will really know what you are talking about.
It is true that some Muslims have left nations ruled by Islam, and like many Christians, have not completely read their holy books, so they are unaware of what they say, and for their own part, are peace loving people, but that does not negate the fact that the texts of Islam excuse, and exhort, the killing of innocent people, merely because they are not of the religion of Islam. The Quran makes it clear that, anyone that is not a Muslim is considered to be an infidel, and subject to the hate of all Muslims.
Do you consider Hitler to have been a Christian?? He may have said he was, but his actions belied his statement. The Emperor of Japan, certainly, was not a Christian, so your argument in that regard is a bit tainted. |
