In Europe and in North America, non-Muslims are confused about the intention of Islam as a religious and political entity. Why does Islam have two faces? Why do Muslims in the media and educational circles present Islam as a peaceful faith? Why does the Qur'an state about Islam: 'Allah has revealed it to prevail all'? How may we respond? - Here, an ex-Muslim, now a believer in Jesus as the source of Peace and Grace, explains.
Islamic Strategy for the World in general: 1. Submission versus Peace argument. 2. The Doctrine of ‘Dar al-Islam’ (abode of Islam) and ‘Dar al-Harb’ (abode of war) versus ‘Dar al-Sulah’ (Abode of Treaty) or ‘Dar al-Amn’ (Abode of peace).
ISLAMIC Strategy in the USA at present: • Present a peaceful PR- • Refer only to peaceful verses. • Outward Cooperation. • Convince that the enemy is the other. • Interfaith efforts • Hire or rewrite US history (Muslims before Columbus, Founding Fathers - Jefferson’s Qur’an?). • Present a peaceful PR for Muhammad • Da’wa – Islamic Evangelism. • Education. • Financial institutions. • The Doctrine of Taqiyya (Hiding the intention). • Judeo-Christian heritage versus Abrahamic heritage
Since Islam is both a religious and governmental system, what strategy does it have in the USA to dominate?
The popular interpretation of the Qur’anic texts about Jesus is generally understood to be denying key Biblical factors about the ministry of Jesus. Following Paul’s example in Athens (Acts 17), Steven shows how the very Qur’anic texts can be reinterpreted in the light of the Bible. The main purpose is to help Muslims to know that our eternity with God was lost through the first Adam but through the second Adam, Jesus, the path is paved for us to be restored. One does not have to wait for the Day of Judgment to know one’s eternity. The assurance of eternal life is at hand through Jesus, the Messiah.
Bridge points in responding to such questions;
Why don’t you believe in Muhammad and the Qur’an? I believe in Jesus; why can’t you believe in Muhammad? Why don’t you become a Muslim? God is one. Why do you believe in the Trinity - three gods? How can Jesus be the Son of God? Jesus was not really crucified. Was he, and why? Isn’t the Bible being corrupted? Why is Jesus the only way?
Why do Muslims want to annihilate Israel?
It is not just one Muslim country, but most practicing Muslims want the destruction of the Jews and, in many cases, of Christians included. Some of them claim that the only option to be spared of this is to convert to Islam.
In the background of this lays the example of what the Qur’an states and what Muhammad said and did.
Is there a possibility that the descendants of Abraham will live in peace? How do we help Muslims to stop their hatred?
Steven’s presentation is based on Romans 11, where Paul writes that not until the fullness of the Gentiles comes into salvation will Israel be saved.
Is it possible that seeing their cousins, the Ishmaelites, follow the Jewish Messiah, Yashua’ [Jesus, the Christ], many of the Jews will be provoked to jealousy, and this will cause them to accept God’s gift of salvation and welcome Jesus’ second coming? ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ (Matthew 23:39; Luke 13:34).
What is the Biblical perspective of women according to the New Covenant? Why do Muslim women in high positions appear to be exalted in America but oppressed in Muslim countries? According to Islam, is there a paradise for Muslim women? Why would American women want to marry Muslim men? Why do some believe that the testimony of 2 women is equal to one man?
