The Good that comes out of Muslim Murders
by J. Grant Swank, Pastor

As Muslims continue to kill in the name of their religion,
the truth is coming out that is not a religion of peace.

I recall when Iraqi Freedom Operation started. It
brought about a mushroom cloud of affection toward
Islam. A school in a neighboring city opened up a prayer
room for the Muslim students. They could go there to pray.

Where was the prayer room for Christians? Of course,
it didn't exist. Nor did time out from classes open up for
Christians to pray. But it did for Muslim students. They
bow down to pray 5 times a day; therefore, the public
school system allowed for that during the school day.

There were numerous feature articles in the city
newspaper about Islam - all glowing, of course.
When it came time for Muslims to honor their holy
seasons, another spate of columns appeared giving
fine line detail of those Muslim rituals.

Christians could never have requested like space
and received it. In years past, newspaper space
was always given to Christmas traditions and biblical
data when December arrived. Easter was given its
spread for detail regarding local church sunrise
services and the like.

But all that is past history in many parts of the
United States of America. Further, another generation
has come to the fore with no personal memory of such
Christian traditions accented.

I was thinking the other day that even when two
Christians work at the same site, they must whisper about
their religious faith. There is fear that someone may
overhear who will call NOT.

I had taped on the top of my desk a small postcard
sized depiction of a blue sky with a faint imprint of
a cross atop the clouds. There was also an American
flag waving as a part of the graphic. JUSTICE AND
PEACE were imprinted on the card. One day I came to
work to find it had been torn off. When was it taken
away from my desk? During the summer month vacation,
when I returned after being away, it was no longer there.

I never asked who did it. I never said a word to
anyone about it being gone. But I did find another
like card and taped it in the very same spot that the
first one had been affixed. Thus far, it stays. But
then again, one never knows when it may disappear.

Being a Christian in America is risky business today.
Being a Muslim is a privileged position. Doesn't make
any sense on many levels; but that's reality.

However, with the increased carnage at the hands of
Muslim murderers, I find that there is diminished
newspaper coverage in these parts concerning Islam.
I don't believe there is the Muslim prayer room offered
this school year. And there is not the reporters' stroking
of local Muslim customs as there used to be.

This recent killing spree in Turkey once again has
brought to the fore that the Koran demands loyal
Muslims killing off the non-Muslims, the "infidels."
That is bottom line Koran doctrine, though many still
do not know that.

Just today I received another email stating Islam
to be a peace religion, that only the misinformed
are making it out to be violent in its intent. I thought,
"When is the true message going to get out to everyone
about the killing religion known as Islam ('Muslim'
being its synonym)?"

"Two bombings in Istanbul Saturday killed at least
23 people and wounded hundreds more." That's
Yigal Schleifer's headline printed in the CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE MONITOR. Istanbul, Turkey is the location.
Dead bodies are the focus. The Saturday truck-bomb
attacks leveled two Istanbul synagogues. "Turkey is
being forced to confront what may be a harsh new
reality," the media coverage continues.

On and on and on the specifics are spilling out
from the news, even the liberal media having to
report the bloody facts regarding the Muslim religion.
Consequently, I have concluded that the good that
has come out of the Muslim murder scheme is that
Islam is being revealed truly as the killing religion
that it is. Moderate Muslims are merely those who
don't see through the explicit demands of the Koran;
but the absolutely aligned Muslim believers are
being orthodox in their acts.

They are carrying out exactly what their so-called
holy writ demands - killing off those who don't
agree with their Allah, their Koran, and their religion.
That's the only good that continues to flow from the
blood spilt. The only good.
