Allah or Jesus?

by 

Rick Mathes

	Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.  During the training

session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of

their beliefs.

	I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.  The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete

with a video.  After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:  "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and

clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world.  And, that by killing an infidel, which is a

command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in  Heaven.  If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"

	There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"

	I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith

so they can go to Heaven.  Is that correct?"

	The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the

cookie jar.  He sheepishly replied, "Yes".

	I then stated, "Well, Sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul II commanding all Catholics to kill those of your

faith, or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!"

	The Imam was speechless.

	I continued, "I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. "Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells

you to kill me in order to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?"

	You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

	Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the "Diversification" training seminar were not happy with Rick's way 

of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim beliefs.

	I think everyone in the U.S. Should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no

way this will be widely publicized.  

	This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.
