Yesterday I had an unfortunate conversation with two young Moslem men. They were approaching a street performer who had just shared the gospel between songs and their opening comment was enough for me to need to step in and protect the performer.
Young men like this have been so indoctrinated that they simply hate the Jews. What on earth goes on in our local mosques and then online at home should deeply concern us all. The level of anger and vitriol spewing from their mouths was not new to me. I’ve heard it all before. But clearly their understanding of middle eastern history and geography is so skewed. Almost every line I started to say was greeted with grins and the response “free free Palestine”. After a few minutes it was obvious that this was not a discussion. They were so closed in their thinking that further interaction was pointless. BTW these weren’t migrants, they both had English accents.
Then this morning’s news of the attack on the Manchester Synagogue. Simply horrendous. But as a Jewish spokesman said on the radio, what can you do when people are motivated by the thinking of a desert dwelling tribal warlord from the Dark Ages?!
I would urge anyone reading this and disturbed by what I have said to go to an online Qur’an site and read the book for yourself. Try searching for words such as peace, kill, neck, jihad.
And if you aren’t a Christian, when you finished the Qur’an, try the New Testament and compare Mohammad to Jesus. You will be surprised.
