We have had prejudiced against many different kinds of people in the United
States whether it be lax Irish American Indians Hispanics it is not just people
love Middle Eastern dissent if you don't understand that people are feeling
fearful of it so it is been on a long time and it's not just here in the United
States it's across the world some don't.
But the fear of radical Islam make the leaves are making people fearful and
this is a small group of people not the majority of Middle Eastern people but
if you look across Europe France look at Sweden where the crime rate has
increased and radically, as well as Germany because of young Middle Eastern men
coming in and the rape numbers have risen in these countries because of the
influx are young Middle Eastern man and this is happened in France as well so
and and I don't know what to do about it I am only one person but fear is fear
and if it happens in one place and eventually will carry-on to other places
it's just what history is so to say so it's not just Baptist ministers it's
it's the world people try to be understanding and letting new immigrants come
in but when, they don't you America when many people immigrated to the US
states they really tried to become Americans learn the English language such as
the Irish did the Germans did people from France from Russia they all learned
English where this is not so with a lot of Middle Eastern immigrants they want
to keep to themselves want to keep the Sharee law in their little neighborhoods
which I do not agree with so you know if they're going to come here they need
to be Americans a nap
My thoughts for today

That is pretty typical Christian ignorance. Yes, I am sure that a lot of it
does come from pastors, but not necessarily southern pastors in particular.
Pastors in general are common purveyors of misinformation. That is what
religion is all about. But it also has a lot to do with the portrayal of
Arabs and Muslims as some kind of evil group apart from the American people.
This portrayal is found not only in churches, but also in the popular media
and in the mainstream news outlets. Those sources may not come right out and
say it, but if they use the word god in the context of American religions and
use Allah in the context of talking about Muslims the impression is given
that two different entities are being spoken of. Then if the American
religionist thinks the Muslims are evil it follows that their god is evil too
and if the Christian religion will admit to only one god that means that
Allah must be some kind of other entity and an evil one, thus Satan. Anyway,
we are talking about fairy tale characters here. Saying that Allah is Satan
is like saying that Snow White is Rumpelstiltskin. They are different
imaginary characters and so it is inaccurate to make them both a single
identity. However, they are still imaginary characters. Because of that it
would be much more accurate to say that Snow White is imaginary and Allah is
imaginary and Satan is imaginary.

Hello, everyone. I promise you this will inshAllah be my last thread
of this post. Linda said, “ Alah is Satan, and no way will I worship
him.” First off, in English, it’s spelled, (Allah). In Arabic, it is
(الله). Second, without expressing offence or unnecessary emotional
reaction, Do you actually know what the term Allah means? Do you know
that Arab Christians say: “يسوع المسيح هو إبن الله الوحيد”. Jesus
Christ is the uniquely begotten son of God. Do you know that Arabic
Bible in Genesis, has the term (الله) mentioned 17 times in just the
first page? In addition, the term Elohim which has been translated
from ancient Hebrew signifies the closeness to its Arabic
synonym.Third, what is the word for satan in Arabic? It is (شيطان).
Consequently, I sternly remonstrate southern evangelists and their
disinformed associates for lacking proper education. Linda is just an
instance of many victims, thanks to deliberately misleading pastors.
Do you know if you said to Coptics here that Allah is satan, they will
probably laugh. And, if they took your statement seriously, they will
be sure hurt and insulted. I again, renew my invitation to Americans
to quit their obsession of watching television and read, just read a
little. It is extremely demeaning to see many people in what is
allegedly said to be the most advanced nation on earth nescient as
such. Do you know why I disrespect and intentionally, destine to bait
you? Because despite your plain ignorance of many subjects, you
constantly act as if you are eminently superior to learn anything.
Your common implication is that of disgrace, mockery, derision and
bigotry. You always act as if you are Creme de la crème. Therefore,
you have made the whole world stand firm against your imposed agenda.
After September eleventh, your government succeeded in making you
relentlessly live in sempiternal tenseness and suspicion. I urge you
to either listen to what others have to say about themselves or
relinquish western leadership to someone else. I never despised
someone because of his different views. However, I repudiate
Americanisation because it threatens multiculturalism and mutual
deference. Your culture is essentially based on prejudice and
fanaticism. I never had this problem with Christians in Britain,
Canada and particularly here. I wish you were like my friend Pia, who
is a devout Christian but her character risen above typical American
naivety. We fundamentally disagree on theological subjects but, we
never disrespected one another. The reason why I sent out my post to
my list of recipients disclosed, is to show you with practical
evidence where the problem lies over. I am fully held accountable for
disclosing people’s contact information without their consent. I knew
it isn’t acceptable, I apologise. If someone is interested to carry on
a conversation with me, I ask you to keep our interaction private.
After my purpose has been achieved, I do not need to make a fuss. I
wish you work on improving your image because it has critically been
varnished. Trust me, it is no longer an honourable title to be a
greendcard bearer. Donald Trump is just a vivid reflection of at
least, a considerable amount of Americans. Listen to me, I have got to
give it to you straight. The situation of your nation isn’t so good.
In fact, the outlook is gloomy. If you are tired of incessantly being
codded and immensely criticised, you have got to dig for the motive.
If you are encountering difficulty discerning some of the expressions
I use, you may ask for clarification because I usually expend British
vocabulary. Lastly, in the subsequent segment, I provided a link for
an American revert to Islam called Yusuf Estes. He talks about the
difference between the words God and Allah, illustrating their origin
from etymological and theological standpoints. I hope this urges those
who do not know to learn a bit.

Please, Bob, Mostafa, take me off this list. I did not subscribe
to it, and I do not appreciate all the unwanted emails. You
expect us to respect you, but you have no respect for us, unless,
of course we are Muslims, which I will never be. Alah is Satan,
and no way will I worship him.
