> The Muslim Religion

> This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a

>
> The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion
> per capita in the United States , especially in the
> minority races!!!
>
> Last month I attended my annual training session
> that's required for maintaining my state prison
> security clearance. During the training
> session there was a presentation by three speakers
> representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim
> faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.
>
> I was particularly interested in what the Islamic
> Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the
> basics of Islam, complete with a video.
>
> After the presentations, time was provided for
> questions and answers.
>
> When it was my turn, I directed my question to the
> Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but
> I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have
> declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
> infidels of the world and, that by killing an
> infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are
> assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case,
> can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
>
> There was no disagreement with my statements and,
> without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'
> I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this
> straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded
> to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can
> have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
> The expression on his face changed from one of
> >> authority and command to that of a little boy who had
> just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
>
> He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
>
> I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem
> trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all
> Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley
> ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to
> guarantee them a place in heaven!'
>
> The Imam was speechless!
>
> I continued, 'I also have problem with being your
> friend when you and your brother clerics are telling
> your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question: Would you
> rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go
> to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you
> because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be
> there with me?'
>
> You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his
> head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or
> promoters of the Diversification' training seminar
> were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the
> Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the
> Muslims' beliefs.
>
> In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters
> in the U.S. to elect the President! I think everyone
> in the U .S. should be required to read this, but with
> ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized,
> unless each of us send it on!
> This is your chance to make a difference...
