Title: "The expansion of Islam and Christianity." by abbepages TRANSLATION in "more info" View count: 62 Rating: 1.0 (4 ratings) Description: TRANSLATION: Praised be Jesus Christ. As-salaamu :alay-kum. His peace be with you. When you compare the expansion of Islam with that of Christianity, you cannot help being struck by the difference. Muslims spread Islam through the sword, following the example and teaching of Mohammad, as we can see in the Koran eg 5:33 "Those who refuse Allah and his prophet shall be killed or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, or be banished from the land." One can find other passages of this sort throughout the Koran eg 9:5 "kill the unbeliever wherever you find them. Arrest them. Lie in ambush for them." Or 47:4 " When you meet unbelievers in battle, cut off their heads." Finally I quote Iranian Ayatollah Khomenei, "Islam declares that peace comes only through the sword and exists only under the shadow of the sword. Men become obedient only with the threat of the sword. The sword is the key of the gate of heaven." This is taken from "Holy Terror." In contrast, Christians spread the Faith not by violence but through their witness in matyrdom. During three centuries in the Roman empire, Christians had no armies and never fought for their religion. They refused to worship Caesar, and refused to burn incense before his statue. Because of this they were called "atheist" and were delivered up to lions in the Circuses. Finally the Romans after seeing these men, women and children going willingly to their deaths started to ask, "Who are these Christians? Where does their strength come from? We torture and kill them but not only do they not hate us, they are joyful and bless us." Because of this witness, the Romans were gradually converted. So we see the huge difference between the spread of Christianity and Islam. Tags: de, l'expansion, l'islam, et, du, christianisme, Author: gerardk51 |
