Re: Politics and the Church
I think it is fair to this discussion on treatment of muslims to realize that the Koran does not see the distinction between human government and God's government. In the NT Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world" hence Christians can see a distinction without conflict. However, the recent political push to move countries to adopt Sharia law funded by the OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia, a push that has resulted in horrible war atrocities like Sudan and Nigeria should alarm everyone. Under Sharia law non muslims are second class citizens. The only reason a muslim would claim that they are not interested in converting the US to Sharia law is because they aren't even close to 50% of the population. But in countries that are close to 50% it is very clear how they behave towards non Muslims to change the equation. We are not talking about "extremists" we are talking about the major Muslim nations in the UN (OPEC, Indonesia, etc) and about 20 developing nations that recently converted to Sharia law to get financial incentives and give the Muslim nations a much more powerful voice in the UN.
