Christians and Iran

Iranian Anti-Christian Film Should be a U.N. Hit!Posted by Gorgo under The U.N. at it Again Tags: christianity, fitna, islam, united nations

At least a new Anti-Christian film by Muslims will be better in line with our free speech values than things like, shooting people that make them angry.
So, needless to say we can’t count on the United Nations to defend ideas that we hold dear, such as free speech and um . . . any other good ideas that Americans came up with so I just love it when people like Nancy Pelosi say that we need to be more in tune with the United Nations.
We already know that upon even hearing about Geert Wilder’s film Fitna there were riots. We don’t even need to mention the violent cartoon riots. And we also know the United Nation’s stance on those particular efforts in self-expression and support of liberty and free speech. The United Nations has insited that sites like Google and Youtube remove the movie Fitna. I am wondering if they will show any support for Christians when an Iranian backed film, Beyond Fitna, comes out. The film will focus on what Iran’s FARS news agency says is:
. . .orders given to worldwide Christians in the (distorted) version of the Bible for stoking violence, committing genocide, attacking others, beheading and burning women and children who have been taken into captivity.
I know, I know, you may be thinking that this film is a terrible insult to Christians, but calm down. Before we even see this movie, I can guarantee you one very obvious difference between it and movies like Fitna. Christians who kill and maim in the name of their religon are going against Christ’s teachings. Muslims who murder, behead Christians and Jews, beat their wives, and commit acts of terror are doing exactly what their religon and holy book tell them to do.

This is the sad reality that the average American is all too happy to overlook. Like the person that said to me, “Islam is a religon of peace, isn’t it?” we can pretty much guarantee that even if this movie is filled with obvious lies, it will be picked up by Ameripeans as the latest gospel. They won’t bother to skip on over to a site like MemriTV to find out that they have been completely hornswoggled (don’t you just love that word). This site is not for the sensitive patriot. Shouts of “Death to America!” are the norm.
What this new film probably won’t say is that there is a doctrinal difference between Muslims and Christians. If a crazy goes and bombs an abortion clinic, killing doctors or nurses while claiming to be saving human life - we call him just what he is, ‘a crazy’! He is not following the message of Jesus Christ. If a Muslim cuts off the head of a Jewish person, the Koran tells them they are doing Allah’s will. Does this make sense to anyone but me? I swear you could repeat this statement in plain English, or Liberal Double-speak if necessary and you’d still get blank stares as if you just tried to explain trickle-down economics to a third grader (or a bureaucrat). This is as simple as it gets, BUT there is a huge problem with your typical anti-Christian’s understanding of these ideas. They are either judging Christianity from a rebellious position, wanting religon to be something that doesn’t affect their secular habits or they have emotional damage from what they perceive as or experience oppression from Christians. I’ve seen both kinds and experienced some myself. I’m sorry to say, Christianity is what it is, but you can’t make judgements on it based on people. You can call those people bad people, but don’t dismiss the teachings of Christ. He preached hope for salvation, love for your neighbor, and obedience to God. It’s just that last one that we don’t like too much.
But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking our tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.Luke 6: 27-31

Some of the Koran’s greatest hits:
(Quran 5:33): The Punishment for those who oppose Allah and his messenger is: Execution or Crucifixion or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land.If you choose not to follow Jesus Christ, He does not tell His followers to kill you.
(Quran 9:5): Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.
(Quran 8:12): Remember Thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the believers, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them.”
(Quran 5:49-51) O YOU WHO BELIEVE! DO NOT TAKE THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS FOR FRIENDS; THEY ARE FRIENDS OF EACH OTHER; AND WHOEVER AMONGST YOU TAKES THEM FOR A FRIEND, THEN SURELY HE IS ONE OF THEM; SURELY ALLAH DOES NOT GUIDE THE UNJUST PEOPLE.Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies. . .
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state ofsubjugation.Christians are not called to dominate those who disagree with us, though it is sure a lot easier when they aren’t trying to do it to us.
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!First off, I don’t know any Christians or Jews say this . . .
[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
(9:5) When the sacred months have passed away, THEN SLAY THE IDOLATERS WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVES AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH, then if they repent and keep up prayer [become believers] and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to themOh! That’s all we have to do!?!?! Well why didin’t you say so?!?!?!
(60:2-4) WE DECLARE OURSELVES TO BE CLEAR OF YOU, AND ENMITY AND HATRED HAVE APPEARED BETWEEN US AND YOU FOREVER UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH ALONEI believe in that, alone . . .without any followers . . . that would be the best condition for the human race.
