Muslim Leaders Addressed by Farrakhan
I saw this story today and wondered if Farrakhan mentioned anything about the extremist Muslims killing Christians in the world, and if he denounced that action. Here are a few snippets from the article...
...Minister Farrakhan counseled that the Holy Qur’an admonishes the believers to avoid extremes and adopt the path of moderation. He counseled that one extreme usually is the producer of another. What we are looking at in the Muslim World is the extremism, radicalism and the so-called terrorism as an extreme reaction to a cause that emanated from within deviation from the path of the Prophet and exacerbated by the Western World.
I have to comment on the "so-called terrorism" because it isn't so-called terrorism, it is terrorism, and the facts show that on September 11th terrorism took place in America, on our soil - by Islamic terrorists.
Minister Farrakhan further warned that even though the majority of Muslims are in disagreement with the killing of innocent people for political purposes, he said that, “We as Muslims believe that everything that happens is either the active or permissive Will of Allah (God).” Then, we have to ask the question, why does Allah (God) permit such acts that are so extreme?
Okay, so even though the majority of Muslims think killing innocent people is wrong what Farrakhan is saying here is that ultimately it's really okay because Allah is permitting it...and who is to question Allah...is that the point?
In another intervention, responding to the question of his methodology inside of America, the Minister spoke concerning the fact that he never tries or uses the word conversion when he speaks to Christians or Jews, because the Holy Qur’an teaches that all human beings are created in the nature of God except the rebellious devil so all that is needed is to feed the nature of the human being with truth and the human being will evolve into submission to the Will of Allah (God).
Here we see Farrakhan saying that if a person is walking in truth then eventually they will become a follower of Allah. Define truth.
Bro. Gadhafi’s discussion was based on persecuton of Muslims and the destruction of the Holy Book. He asked the question, “What are we doing to stop the extreme behavior on the part of governments that are frightened of the emergence of Islam.?” He stressed that Muslims must take a course of action to defend their faith. “What has been done since the desecration of the Holy Qur’an at Guantanamo? What have we done to show our disgust at the torture of Muslims at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo?” he asked. “We must not stand by and watch Muslims be tortured and say nothing,” he added.
Interesting questions, and yet not one about how to stop the desecration of anyone who disagrees with their teaching. And not one ounce of concern for Christians or Jews being killed by radical Islam.
Yet, I've yet to see anywhere where Christians are blowing up mosques.
