To those who Believe in and Fear God,

I just went through your website quite by accident— I was reviewing the position Islam holds on the use of drugs and alcohol and I noticed that you had something to say about Jesus and Christians.

I am a Christian, moreover, I am a Christian who has submitted to the guidance of God. I follow the path laid down for me by God by recognizing little signs and wonders that lead me closer to a righteous state of being although, I will be the first to admit that I am a degenerate sinner and an ex pagan and worshipper of idols. I trust my instincts (for lack of a better word) which I believe come from God. Today, an interesting thing happened. I had always wished to know exactly what the Quran had to say about my people and you have provided the answer.

I do not, nor have ever regarded Islam as any kind of enemy. I am from America and have lived in the Philippine islands where my wife and children reside and that's right on the battle lines. On the island of Mindanao Muslims kill Christians and vice versa. I do not regard these people as people of God. Neither side is fighting for God but profit. The Catholics justify their abuse by saying that the Muslims don't regard Jesus as God while the typical Filipino Muslim is just interested in ripping somebody off. These Muslim terrorists (the abu Sayyaf) know absolutely nothing of Islam and have in fact admitted that. They have taken one or two verses from the Quran and have declared their cause holy. This is the same thing the Catholic Church did during the Crusades.

From what you say it would appear that we're all heading to great End and like I personally believe all of us (Jews, Christians, Muslims) are numbered with righteous souls who will live to stand before God in that last day. After all the fundamentals of the Bible and the fundamentals of the Quran aren't too different.
