Muslim scholars letter to Christian Leaders

"Muslim scholars reach out to Pope" is the headline as today, a number of Muslim scholars have issued an open letter to the Pope and other Christian leaders stating that for the ‘sake of 'world peace’ there should be greater understanding between Christianity and Islam.

The Pope Being Taught Religion ......

The letter apparently emphasises the commonalities of the religions such as the worship of the ‘same god’, the shared prophets, and that Mohammed was told the same truths that had already been revealed to other prophets, Christian and Jewish, including Jesus.
 
They also cite the Koran as placing a duty on Muslims to treat Christians and Jews as followers of those prophets with particular friendship. The Muslim scholars state: "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."

Very laudable I am sure, but sadly these ‘scholars’ have few followers amongst the radicals, or the masses of Islam. As I write this, Christians are being taught Islam at the point of a sword all across Asia and the Middle East. In Iraq and Pakistan, the small Christian communities are told to convert, leave or be killed. In fact the very actions that these ‘Muslim scholars’ say is what Christians must not do to them.

The Mullahs on the ground, often badly educated and full of hate, preach violence and aggression not peace and tolerance, and that’s just in the UK. They believe that all other religions are to be killed or forced into Dhimmitude i.e. second class citizens forced to pay a special tax for the privilege of not being killed.

Given this background, this open letter can be read as a kind of threat ‘if you don’t treat us in a certain way then …..’ but we can treat you exactly in this manner, and you must say nothing or accept it as your Allah given role.
