American Chronicle | Does Islam teach a believer (a Muslim), to hate Christians?

By Mark Harding

Islamic teaching requires one to believe in Allah and his prophet Muhammad. But doing this requires the believer to do good which means that it is the works of the believer by his own actions that allows or disallows him or her to heaven.
It is not my intension to preach in this article, nor do I try to convince one through scripture that one is wrong and the other is right. My intention is only to compare and allow the reader an opportunity to see the differences so that one can find the reason, if any, for why Islam might teach to hate Christians.
In Luke 23: 39 to 43 tells of two men who were criminals being crucified beside Jesus. One said to Jesus “LORD, remember me when you come into your kingdom”. And did Jesus say to him “NO you have not done enough works”?. Or did Jesus assure this man that he would be with Him in Paradise Today? Therefore Christians believe that it is not by works that one can enter paradise but by faith in Jesus Christ.
What is then the good works that are taught from the Islamic teachings that allow a Muslim to be good enough to get to heaven?
Of course we find Islamic teachings that on the surface, seem to be a legitimate course of action to this challenge. For example,
Sura 21: 94 Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer, there will be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him.
Sura 22:50 Those who believe and do good works, for them is pardon and a rich provision
So then what are these good works that Allah wants Muslims to do?
Sura 2:216 Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing, which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing, which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.
Sura 4:76 Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil
So then who are those that believe in the Quran, Allah of Islam and its messenger Muhammad and who are those that reject?
According to the Quran the believers are those who:
Believers
Sura 2:136 Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.
I have been exhorting Muslims for many years now here in Canada to help them see the difference from what the Holy Bible teaches compared to that of the Quran. The biggest challenge is the Muslims belief that their god, ‘Allah’ in the Quran, is the same one found in the Holy Bible, the God of Israel.
Sura 2:136 is often used to promote this idea. The fact is nothing can be further from the truth. For in almost every situation found in the Quran, whether it is Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Noah or even Jesus, there are very little similarities if any at all.
One of the questions I would ask the many thousands of Muslims I have questioned over the 20 years when speaking to them about their faith, has been about the severe persecution of Christians in every Islamic society. The answer that I would receive was generally the same and that was that the media was lying, there is no persecution at all in any Islamic society. They would never acknowledge the persecution of Christians in their home countries or comment on all the media reports regarding the same in any other Islamic society. Here is the reason that they must deny this terrible slaughter-taking place in every Islamic society today, which incidentally is more severe, more brutal today than it ever has ever been.
Sura 2:62 Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans - whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
This verse, and Sura 2:136, are used by Muslims to prove what Allah has to say about Christians and the fact that their god is our God. According to what they have to say there is never any persecution of Christians in Islamic societies and, they say, Muslims and Christians live in peace in their homelands like Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Somalia Sudan Turkey ect…
Of course the problem with Sura 2:136 has already been discussed, but one of the greater difficulties is that no Christian can ever believe in “Allah or the last day” thus making Sura 2:62 of no use to any Christian or Jew living in an Islamic society. This is a huge problem for many Christians living in an Islamic society who openly deny Allah, Muhammad or the Quran. Yet this is what they must do according to their religious convictions, for if the Quran preaches a lie and deception, according to what the Holy Bible dictates, it must not only be acknowledged by Christians, ALL Christians, but Islam must as well be openly discredited publicly. For God, the true God of Israel is a jealous God and is not willing to share His kingdom with Allah the god of Islam, and out of love for all Muslims, Christians must start to feel the need to encourage them to accept this truth and not the lies of Muhammad.

Un-Believers
Sura 84:20, 21, 22. What then is the matter with them that they believe not?
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Sura 058:055 Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be humbled to dust, as were those before them: for We have already sent down Clear Signs. And the Unbelievers (will have) a humiliating Penalty,-
Of course many living in these democratic societies like Canada, have a difficult time understanding the logic of killing someone because of their religious convictions, however that is what Islam teaches. Islam teaches a believer that they must kill those who will not believe in Allah or his prophet Muhammad until they are subdued into submission and pay a protection tax called a Jizyah tax. In other words, they mustl fight all non Muslims until all is Islam. Even the People of the book, which is Christians and Jews, must be subjected to persecution until they all are willing to admit that the god “Allah” is greater than the God of Israel which is the one we worship. And with willing submission we must pay the Jizyah tax to prove we have been subdued. This law is part of the Shaira Law which although may not be practiced yet in many Islamic societies, will be implemented to its fullest when there is an Islamic state and all the world is Islamic.
Sura 9:29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
This goal of taking over the world and making it all Islamic is still in the works today.
In the course of the last 20 years, which I have been learning about Islam, I have found out what it is like for those living in an Islamic society who disagree with Islamic teachings, like the one, which says that the god of Islam is the God of Israel. For my opinion and my religious convictions have resulted in Muslims hating me so much that they would spit on me, curse me by swearing vulgarities at me on the streets of Toronto and threaten me with such graphic and horrific statements of torture, I dare not mention them. We have all seen the carnage around the world by Muslims, because of a simple cartoon depicting Muhammad as a terrorist, which most Un believers who have studied Islam’s history believe to be very true.
Many moderate Muslims have been desperately trying to separate themselves from those who use the teachings in the Quran to further their goals of an Islamic state. But the separation that these moderate Muslims seek can never take place, because the Islamic teachings do not allow for any type of peace through democracy. For in democracy there is freedom of religion, in Islam there is no such law. In democracy there is freedom of religious choice, in Islam there is freedom of religious choice only providing you except the punishment of paying a tax for your choice of being Non Muslim. Homosexuality is outlawed and punishment includes 100 lashes or death. Women have very few rights in Islam and according to the teachings of the Quran, women risk being beaten by their husbands if they will not obey them.
I do not hate Muslims, yet in Canada there was such an outcry by Muslims who are against me for being public with my convictions about Islamic teachings of hatred, they were successful at having me arrested. The courts in 1997 found me guilty of hating Muslims and I was convicted of this crime. But I have continued my work of exposing Islam, the results of which have been extraordinary, and I will bring these stories to you at a later date.
The answer than to my original question “Does Islam teach a believer (a Muslim), to hate Christians?” is YES .
