Muslims want to make peace with us?? And they don’t mention the Jews in their letter either. Obviously they don’t want to make peace with the Jews.
Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”
Qur’an 33:60 “Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy—a fierce slaughter—murdered, a horrible murdering.”
Muslims tell Christians: ‘Make peace with us or survival of world is at stake’

Prominent Muslim scholars are warning that the “survival of the world” is at stake if Muslims and Christians do not make peace with each other.
In an unprecedented open letter signed by 138 leading Muslim scholars from every sect of Islam, the Muslims plead with Christian leaders “to come together with us on the common essentials of our two religions.”
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and Pope Benedict are believed to have been sent copies of the document which calls for greater understanding between the two faiths.
The letter also spells out the similarities between passages of the Bible and the Koran.
The Muslim scholars state: “As Muslims, we say to Christians that we are not against them and that Islam is not against them – so long as they do not wage war against Muslims on account of their religion, oppress them and drive them out of their homes.”
The phrasing has similarities to the New Testament passage: “He that is not with me is against me” – a passage used by President George Bush when addressing a joint session of Congress nine days after 9/11.
The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought, a non-governmental organisation based in Amman, Jordan, has organised the letter.
The Institute said: “This historic letter is intended by its 138 signatories as an open invitation to Christians to unite with Muslims over the most essential aspects of their respective faiths – the principles of love of one God and love of the neighbour.
“It is hoped that the recognition of this common ground will provide the followers of both faiths with a shared understanding that will serve to defuse tensions around the world.”
It continues: “Finding common ground between Muslims and Christians is not simply a matter for polite ecumenical dialogue between selected religious leaders.
“Together they (Muslims and Christians) make up more than 55 per cent of the population, making the relationship between these two religious communities the most important factor in contributing to meaningful peace around the world. If Muslims and Christians are not at peace, the world cannot be at peace.”
Among those launching the letter in the UK will be David Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, and Fellow of Selwyn College, University of Cambridge and founding director of the Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme.
Aref Ali Nayed, a leading theologian and senior adviser to the Inter-Faith Programme, will also take part at the event in central London.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Let us kill you peacefully, or we’ll kill you!
What hypocrites…they declare Jihad against all those who do not bend a knee to Islam…and they tell us not to wage war against them. I guess they are asking us to convert or be servants to Islam and if we Christians do not then kill us all.
The sheer arrogance of these people. Their pride is bigger than their brains, apparently. There will be no reasoning with them. There is NO commonality of Christianity with Islam.
Perhaps instead of sending their letter to Christian leaders, they should have sent it to Muslim terrorists. They are the ones who are threatening the existence of the world.
The use of the name “God” to blend Allah and Jehovah into one being is sickening.

….Thank you so much Lynn for sending this article to me.
WT… e:mail the Death Star II for the Osama bin Laden February 1998 ‘Jihad Against Jews, Crusaders and Allies’ that was published from this Supreme Ayatollah Assahola in a London newspaper. Your Bear Nation would love to read every word, especially when he tells every Muslim to kill all civilians in the name of Allah! Yeah…the religion of pieces in black and white, and blood red! Guess who was president of the infidels in 1998? Clue: He was impeached.
Muslims tell Christians:’Make peace with us or survival of world is at stake’
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Just remember that next time someone says we’ll have peace with Islam if only we appease them.
Today is the day we are supposed to be getting our “Final Answer” as to the fate of Israel according to an Iranian government official. I’m not really sure what that is supposed to mean but today also is significant for another reason.
Today is the anniversary of the attack on the USS cole.
I had a brother in law who was a muslum nice guy
on one side mean and nasty on the other.Now he is
no longer with us, to bad so sad yuk,yuk…also
I think this is a good place to put this,,,

CORONADO — A Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan will be awarded the Medal of Honor, the first such award for troops serving in Afghanistan and the first for a SEAL since the Vietnam War, the White House announced Thursday.
Lt. Michael P. Murphy, 29, who had SEAL training here and was assigned to a SEAL team in Hawaii, was killed in June 2005 during a mission in the Hindu Kush mountains to find a key Taliban leader.
Ambushed by insurgents, Murphy’s four-man SEAL team engaged in a fierce firefight and was in danger of being overrun.
Although he was wounded, Murphy risked his life to save fellow SEALs and then maneuvered into an open position to send out an emergency call and to continue firing at the enemy. While making the call, he was hit again.
Only one of the SEALs on the team survived. Eight other SEALs and eight soldiers aboard a MH-47 Chinook helicopter sent to rescue Murphy’s team also were killed when the craft was brought down by a rocket-propelled grenade.
The incident was the worst single-day loss of life for Navy Special Warfare personnel since World War II.
“Mike Murphy was a true warrior, a true leader. No one cared more about his men than he did,” said a SEAL officer who asked to be identified only as Sean. Because their missions are secret, SEALs prefer to remain anonymous.
President Bush will present the Medal of Honor to Murphy’s parents on Oct. 22 at the White House.
Only two other military personnel — Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham and Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith — have been awarded the nation’s highest honor for bravery for actions undertaken since Bush sent troops into Afghanistan in 2001. Both of those awards were for bravery in Iraq and were posthumous.
The three other members of Murphy’s team — Matthew Axelson, 25, and Danny Dietz, 31, who were both killed, and Marcus Luttrell, 32 — have each been awarded the Navy Cross, second only to the Medal of Honor.
Luttrell is the author of “Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10.”
Murphy grew up on Long Island and graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1998 with degrees in political science and psychology. He was commissioned a Navy ensign in 1999 and graduated from SEAL training in Coronado in 2001.
His father, Daniel, an attorney and a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, said the assignment to Afghanistan was particularly important to his son. Murphy had friends in the New York police and fire departments and wore an NYFD patch on his uniform.
“He told me, ‘We’re going where the people who planned, plotted and recruited for 9/11 are,’ ” Daniel Murphy said.
Murphy’s mother, Maureen, said the Medal of Honor meant that “now the world will know what his family has always known: how special he was.”
At the SEAL base in Coronado, Murphy and his teammates were the subject of numerous conversations as word of the White House announcement circulated.
Though SEALs’ grief lingers, they preferred to praise Murphy’s steely determination and leadership.
“I’ll remember him and those other guys every day of my life,” said Cory, a SEAL petty officer first class.
I worry more about the prominent Westerners that fall for this crap than I worry about the moslems. Just like todays green lighting of the Statue of Liberty in honor of islam, our concessions to the moslems are little steps toward a big fall. We need to stop this nonsense yesterday and get on a hard road to reality.
islam is set to destroy ALL of the rest of the world, America, Europe, Asia, Russia, Micronesia, Africa, etc. islam is a cause that should unite the world, but most of the world does not feel threatened and is more than willing to let America take the responsibility.
And our leadership plays the “Duh” card and thinks maye we can appease these murderous cultists.
This is a “do you still beat your wife” proposition. The minions of Islam assume that Christians need to make peace with them, rather than the other way around. Christianity didn’t produce Bin Laden or Zarqawi or Zawahiri or thousands of others, nor does it behead those who oppose it. This is, quite simply, bullshit. Clean up you own filthy house before you stop by mine and complain.
…and by the way, it serves no purpose to have our bonehead President Bush pretending he’s a theologian, and claiming that the scriptures of all religions are synchronistic, or at least equal and disclosing the same spiritual goals. When will he just shut up on this matter?
I think this should be filed under “ARE YOU
Sh**ing me”!!!
A row has erupted over a plan to dig up a third of a million bodies from an historic east London cemetery to make way for a new Muslim burial site.
Tower Hamlets council in London is considering reopening the Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park in Mile End to answer a long-running campaign for a Muslim graveyard in the area.
The park, off Bow Common Lane, was deconsecrated as a Church of England cemetery by Parliament in 1966, after being deemed full with about 350,000 bodies buried there.
It is not yet clear what the Council proposes to do with the remains, if they are ultimately removed from the graves and a new burial site built in their place.
Not to worry. All will be good. President Hillary Clinton or President Barack Hussein Obama will negotiate with any and all Muslim leaders and we will all live in peace together. Unfortunately, we will all have to convert to Islam and become obedient Muslims. Our public schools will lead the way.
TC:
That graveyard contains plague victims and other stuff, maybe even horses. The East End is full of such places. The Brits seem to have forgotten where they came from, are even now disposing literally of their dead, and are slipping away. I don’t think we can save them.
Darth, I will never forget it was Clinton. yuk I can’t stand him.
I will email you about the article.
Bob thank you for the verse and your so right about anyone saying that about Islam. There is no peace when Islam is concerned.
Billy, after I do the comments I am going to check and see what happened about Israel.
Tincan thanks for the article about Lt. Michael P. Murphy.
Tom me too. there are people that will fall for this baloney. Why anyone would even entertain the notion of appeasing them is beyond how my mind can even think of doing.
Rhod I agree it is total BS from them. Bush did a heck of a lot of damage this last week with what he said about Islam and their god being the sdame God as the Christians and Jews. I wish Cheney could step in somehow, he would know better then to say such a thing.
Les that gives me chills, but it very well could happen. She sure seems to be the front runner of all those running for President. waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The Crusaders should have done like the Roman legions did by crucifying their enemies on crosses and leaving their bodies on the crosses for the buzzards to dine on. The locals and future opposition types would think twice before messing with Caesar! Oh those were the days, eh?
