The Plain Truth About Islam
This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.
It is in no way insulting or biased, just the plain truth revealed during a training session required for Rick to maintain his prison security clearance.
It's sure to stir up controversy, but here it is none the less.
It makes no insinuation or attempts to persuade anyone's religious view, it's just a simple true story.
06/07/06 - Allah or Jesus?
by Rick Mathes
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.
During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.
The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation, he replied,
"Non-believers!"
I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith, so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?"
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
He sheepishly replied, "Yes."
I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith, or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same, in order to go to Heaven!"
The Imam was speechless.
I continued, "I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven, and He wants you to be with me?"
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the "Diversification" training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's beliefs.

A Simmering Volcano

America is in an epidemic of crime that is sweeping the inner-cities and plying on the young minorities to “join the family.” In St. Louis as well as in other major cities the majority of children are born to fatherless homes and ironically most black men killed are murdered by black men. And our prisons are disproportionately populated by a black population. And now the nation of Islam is sweeping up those that our educational system and racial prejudices have left behind. How can anyone be surprised that minority retribution is cloaking itself within the blessings of Allah? Dumbing-down is backfiring!
Financed by the white suburban addicts buying up all the “white” heroin and meth anyone can produce, these home grown terrorists are raping and pillaging their own neighborhoods as gang after gang hook up with radical Muslims that will not denounce their evil intentions. The silence of the American Muslim community is deafening. Is anyone awake? The volcano is about to explode.
Prisons are a breeding ground for those who have found violence, crime and drug dealing as a way out of the ghetto. When an inmate is released to society he returns to those “who will take care of him” and stands proudly as a parole that has “earned his stripes.” The young gangsters look up to him and all that he has learned while incarcerated by the “Department of Education.” (Or was that Department of Corrections?) The system doesn’t work and more of what doesn’t work, won’t work!
It has been estimated that at the rate of “black flight” from St. Louis, by the year 2037 the last porch light will go out. The city will be desolate and the suburbs will be the new battle ground. That won’t happen but we can’t ignore those that are left behind and the fractured families that are at the mercy of the militant Muslims that make “Osama bin Laden” look like “Mr. Rogers.”
American terrorists are finding their way into the Muslim community and masking their violence and crime with the blessings of Allah. The Koran points the way to a “better society” that excludes those who don’t believe (infidels). So all those unbelievers are the enemy and the victory must go to Allah no matter what it takes or who it harms in the process.
The fatal attraction is not in some far distant country, it is within the very soul of our major cities.
Someone, someday will pen the “Rise and Fall of America” and maybe we have helped him write the final chapter with our tolerance of the silent Muslim community that may very well be a simmering volcano.

I agree. I am amused at so many online writers going against the facts that Rick mathes stated. They seem to make a big dealout of the alleged fact that the muslim man in question was not an imam. Well he was introduced as one, why did he not just state that he was not one? The truth is to be an 'imam' no special schooling is needed, you are basically a prayer leader. And if he was just a regular muslim, does that make his answers to Rick Mathes any less valuable? If I ask Christians about Jesus and the bible they more than not have answers that square with their bibles and churches. This muslim could have easily said, "no we are not to kill kaafir(unbelievers)" But the truth is that in the Qur'an it says KILL THEM whereever you find them!
All you have to do as a nonmuslim is read the Qur'an and some hadiths and viola its all in there:
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
..... martyrs.... Enter heaven - Surah 3:140-43

There are plenty more where that came from. I think Rick should be commended.

Christ's peace to you Rick and God Bless America.
One other thing: Imam does NOT have to be a cleric who went to Qur'anic school, in Sunni Islam he can just be the most well read muslim in the group and thus leads the prayers...
Ah here are another very secret statement among many muslims that Rick no doubt knew about when confronting the muslim from their holy book:
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. - 5:54

Ps I spoke to a copic christian who fled from Egypt years ago and told me EXACTLY how regular muslims (when they outnumber others) act towards him and openly secular people act:
"They would limit what we did, say and think. They did not allows to teach or maintain our churches. Public beheadings occur in town squares."

"And now the nation of Islam is sweeping up those that our educational system and racial prejudices have left behind."
This is the most important thing stated in all of this.
If we paid attention to THIS... the rest wouldn't be happening at the rate that it is.
I have been a Christian for 30 years and I can tell you beyond a shadow of ANY doubt...our problems aren't about differing religions in this country. The people who are gravitating towards organizations like the Nation of Islam are doing so because of our own ignorant intolerance. If we didn't shun those who are different in color and financial background, they wouldn't feel the need to band together within organizations that may pose a potential hazzard to us.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE NATION OF ISLAM IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ISLAM RELIGION. They are two separate entities. I have a very, very good friend who practices the Islam faith and she has NEVER tried or wanted to kill me. Go figure.
