Former Muslims United

I got this from Judy Warner--a website advocating for the protection of former Muslims. Among the goals:

Educate the American public, especially politicians and US legal system, of Islamic law’s encouragement of vigilante street justice against apostates who are subjected to an often silent but serious death threats in America. Denial is a common reaction by many Muslim leaders to clear cut laws in all Islamic schools of Sharia law. As a matter of fact Islamic law itself states that it is obligatory to lie to non-Muslims if the objective is obligatory. Thus since killing apostates is an obligation, then lying about it to the West is also an obligation. This point must be clear to the public in order to understand the extent of the threat.

I went to the site, but it seems to be under construction.

Can anyone point me to a list of Koran passages so that I can see her points for myself?

It is not that I doubt her points, but I like to see the material for myself.

The link took me directly to the site -- maybe it was momentarily down? The goal quoted above is #5.

Pray for our sister Rifqa Bary . . .

Here's something else. Tomorrow there will be a gathering of Muslims on Capitol Hill, described by a group called Advancing Native Missions, which I know nothing about, here.

Christian Response To “Islam On Capitol Hill

September 25. A gathering of Muslim believers will take place on the steps of the U. S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

The purpose is to bring together Muslims from across the country to join together in a Jummah (Friday) Prayer Service. The stated purpose of this rally is to demonstrate the diversity of Islam, as well as its benign character.

However, the website about this event (www.islamoncapitolhill.com) also asserts that the gatherers “intend to manifest Islam's majestic spiritual principals as revealed by Allah to our beloved prophet Muhammad….” Knowledgeable Christians will understand that part of these spiritual principles is the conversion and subjugation of all peoples and religions under the hegemony of Islam. Understanding this fact gives ominous meaning to the motto of the gathering: “Our time has come!” It also compels us to intercede for our nation, and our Capitol, at this time.

We hope that Christian churches, ministries and individual believers will take this matter seriously. While we do not question the Constitutional right of these Muslim Americans to rally together at the Capitol, we do have concerns regarding the spiritual implications of this event. Both Islamic theology and Muslim history show us the potential danger of this gathering. Such a gathering of Muslim believers, answering the call to prayer, and joining in a Friday prayer service is claiming the ground on which they gather as sacred to Islam and establishing the location as a true Mosque in which to worship Allah. To reiterate—this event is establishing the U.S. Capitol as a Mosque for Islamic worship!

What is an appropriate response? It is not to protest. Rather, it is to pray. We would encourage Christians to gather on September 25 and pray about this. It would be especially beneficial if churches in the Washington, D. C. area were to organize prayer efforts for this event. Finally, if faithful Christians could go to the Mall and Capitol area on this day, and just spend time in prayer, this would be of great help.

The website has a link to suggestions of how to pray for Muslims. I like this one that my church uses, adapted from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer:

O merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live: have mercy upon all Jews, Muslims, Infidels, and Heretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
