Keith Olbermann Interviews Pastor and Cleric
Glenn Beck and Franklin Graham, take note. Members of a Methodist congregation in the heart of Tea Party country are showing their fellow Christians how to respond faithfully to Muslim neighbors who want to exercise their God- and Constitution-given rights to worship freely in America.
Rev. Steve Stone and members of Heartsong United Methodist Church in suburban Memphis recently found out that a large mosque and Islamic center was going up next next door. They were a bit anxious about it, but Stone and members of Heartsong followed their faith instead of giving into their fear.
They erected a 6-foot sign that read: ‘Welcome to the Neighborhood.’ Then they invited their new neighbors to use their facilities for evening prayers during Ramadan. “What would Jesus do if He were us?” Stone explained to Lindsay Melvin of The Commercial Appeal. “He would welcome the neighbor.”
Where is the reciprocity. Nowhere in the Muslim world would Christiains or Jews be allowed to practice their religion inside of a Mosque. The Koran states explicitly that Christians and Jews are lower than a dog and worthy only to be killed. Jesus said, “Love your enemies, and pray for those who despitefully use you”. So who are the real religious bigots in the world?

Empty verbiage clanging like an old garbage can. Pretending to establish some kind of moral equivalence between Christianity and Islam is a fool’s errand. Allah is an evil servant of Satan and is no god, but a compilation of Babylonian and Persian demons. Islam enslaves women and practices slavery today. Their goal is the enslavement of all mankind. There is no compromise with evil. If you play around with it, it will pollute you and devour you. I have seen many muslims come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and baptized. I have seen some of these return to preach the Good News to their families, only to be stoned to death by their own families. (Where are the Christian churches in Saudi Arabia?) Islam is a violent perversion of everything good that is inherent in the human heart placed there by God.
