umbertino Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) And people really like Muslims because ? I'd dare saying that.....Many accept it / like it because they were raised that way, in that culture...Many probably just bear it as they can't do anything else..... Others ( originally from other religions / cultures) may find some things in that Religion / way of being that fascinates them.... Who knows..... Most likely if we ( me, you, others on this forum) had happened to be born over there and raised by Muslim parents ... we'd be Muslims ourselves and some of us might also be radical Muslims ( just like some on this part of the world are radical Christians). Usually location where one is born represents a big ( huge) conditioning ( one way or the other).. It's only fate deciding about that stuff.

cooked Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 And can someone explain to me how and why we are friends with a country like this? They are little more than a wing of isis that is recognized as a country. Our gov has to get its priorities straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texstorm Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Well cooked ! LOL didn't mean it to come out that way but it did and a little funny at least to me. We (USA) tolerate the Saudis because they are a stable country with lots of oil ! Same with Kuwait and it will be the same with Iraq soon as they can stabilize. The west will never understand them and they will never understand us and when it's over........ get ready for Armageddon ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 In many areas your conclusion about culture, parental instruction, schooling, peer pressure, etc. is correct. People do tend to stay within their group (in this case, religion). However, there are many individuals in the world who have viewed their religious beliefs and found that they were empty, with more of a bent toward what man can do to earn the reward of "God" or "the gods" rather than on what God has done for them. Thus, many Muslims, and other religious people are feeling the void and emptiness of "religion" and seeking for a greater love of One who came in search of us: Jesus Christ. They want that love and are turning to God because He offers us relationship that is real, everlasting, and totally based on His love for us. I run into individuals everyday who are seeking that kind of faith and belief. It's not that we loved God, but that He first loved us and provided for us a way to have that relationship, not based on our goodness, our kindness, our love or forgiveness. It is based on the cross of Christ and His great love. Once it is truly understood, something within us responds to that love and we are "converted." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 there are no radical Christians. I know what you mean. However, just becoming a child of God is radical. Christ was the most radical person in all of history. His radical life, His power to change individuals, His death and resurrection are all radical. But His teaching of love and forgiveness of even our enemies is so radical that the world still has problems accepting His lifestyle. One of the radical teachings is that we (saints) will die physically for our faith while forgiving them during the their acts of violence to us. Now that is radical!
