Christian Messianic Analysis and Apologetics
Dear Everyone,
It is easy today to hear many things from various sources. One of the modern day mantras is that Islam is a Religion of Peace. Upon closer inspection neither Muhammad nor any of his early followers used this argument as they defeated the Polytheists, Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, Hindus and Sub-Sahara African polytheists and animists on the battlefield. 20th Century Pakistani Muslim scholar Abdul Maududi stated the following:
“But the truth is that Islam is not the name of a ‘Religion,’ nor is ‘Muslim’ the title of a ‘Nation.’ In reality, Islam is a revolutionary ideology and program which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam regardless of the country or the nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and program.” [CMAA emphasis]
This is why I identified Islam in this piece as an ideology, not a religion. Islam certainly includes aspects of religion especially when Muslims are performing rites and rituals with the desire to please their deity and when the practice of these rites and rituals have no adverse impact on non-Muslims. The remainder of the material found in the authoritative tests of Islam are political, socio-economic, and military in nature. The application of these Islamic principles have an adverse impact on non-Muslims and are therefore not religious. Imposing one’s will to impose fear or force conformity on those who do not identify with Islam does not constitute religion rather an ideology that tolerates no rivals – it is expected that in time all will submit to Allah. The term “Islam” literally means “Submission;” the term “Muslim” literally means “one who submits.” This is not the labeling one would expect from a “religion of peace” or a belief system based upon love, grace, and mercy. View the citations listed below and determine what constitutes religious faith or the zealous imposition of a political ideology.

For non-Muslims reading this, kindly do not focus on violent verses, but rather on the grace imparted by our Lord. Use this to get closer to Jesus. If you are not attending a church or attending a church where you are not growing then you are not getting closer to Jesus. Jesus our Lord loves Muslims because he wants all people to find salvation in him. Muslims follow what they have been taught. Certainly we must protect ourselves from those who want to practice Political Islam [Sunni and Shi’a literalists} but for those who want only to practice the religious aspects of Islam there is opportunity to share our hope with them [Sufis, Almadiyya and secularized Sunni’s and Shi’a who are not dissimulating]. Muslims who come to accept the Lordship of Jesus become the best of Christians because they know where they were and are grateful to God above that he has made provision for their sins. Professing Christians can only share what they have. If you really possess Christ in your heart you will have him to share. The Biblical verses cited above should give professing Christians reason to deepen their faith and should give Muslims reason to question what they have been taught is true. With the advent of social media it has been made easier for them to reach out to those who possess the gospel and help lead them to forgiveness and salvation in Jesus Christ Our Lord.
