Understanding Radical Islam by Jay Smith
Posted by RaymondTheBrave in Christian Questions on 12/12/2012
Two Suppositions 1) Radical Islam is new, and is a political reaction to: Israel (1948) Afghanistan (2001 -> ) Iraq (2003 -> ) -Thus, it needs a political solution -This is not the responsibility of the Church -The Church must therefore find ‘Common Ground’ with Islam, and with Muslims 2) Radical Islam is Not New […]
Why Do They Hate?
Posted by RaymondTheBrave in Christian Questions on 10/18/2012
Are there really only a handful of radicals that have hijacked the religion of Islam? Or, is it that the religion itself is radical and hijacks the people? The Qur’an makes it clear that Muslims have a duty to fight for the cause of Islam, and its god, Allah. In the Qur’an, Sura (chapter) 9, […]
Christians need to engage with Muslims
Posted by RaymondTheBrave in Christian Questions on 10/12/2012
I think many Christians including me have all gone about dealing with Islam and the Moslem people in the wrong way. It has become apparent through my research that most Muslims believe what they are taught by their leaders just like Catholics, Methodists and other Denominations.

The Five Principles of Islam
Posted by RaymondTheBrave in Christian Questions on 09/22/2012
Islam’s Trilogy of three sacred texts is the Koran and two books about the life of Mohammed. When the Trilogy is sorted, categorized, arranged, rewritten and analysed, it becomes apparent that five principles are the foundation of Islam. All of Islam is based upon the Trilogy—Koran, Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and Hadith (his Traditions). Most of the […]
What is the Moslem SUNNAH?
Posted by RaymondTheBrave in Christian Questions on 09/22/2012
The prophetic teachings outside the Qur’an are called the Sunnah, the Traditions. The base of Islam, as we have seen, is the Qur’an, and nothing is believed or commanded which is contrary to any revelation in the Holy Book. The Sunnah is the derived law of Islam which every Muslim is obliged to obey. […]
