Islamikazes and Billboards
Shame on the Good News Independent Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Last week they placed on their message board in front of their church the following message: “When is the last time you heard of a Jew or Christian with a bomb strapped to their body?”
On the other side was a message which indicated that the message of Islam is: “submit, convert or die.”
Now, I am not one of those defenders who claims that Islam is a religion of peace. I think Islam has a very violent and unfortunate past. Islam did spread at the end of a sword and that is part of the agreed historical record.
However, I think Islam is no better or worse than any other religion on this record - including Christianity.
Somewhere between a legacy of crusades, segregation, king-making, Sharpton calling Romney an atheist, a million sermons about the sinfulness of sex, the war against science and reason, the Syllabus of Errors, Church endorsed colonialism and racism, and so much more - maybe we should not be throwing stones, eh?
