Separation of church and state, Islamic style
Separation of church and state is gaining a lot steam these days. The Islamic State, the new Islamic Caliphate, burned alive in a cage a Jordanian pilot, what Reuters reports as a form of killing that is “considered despicable by Islam.” All of a sudden it is revealed the religion that enslaves women and children, is an extensive dealer of drugs and human trafficking, cuts off limbs, buries people up to their waists and stones them to death, beats people to a pulp with whips, and beheads men, women, and children who do not agree with Islam, is now against burning someone alive. Such humanitarians these, people! All over the Middle East, Reuters reports, even IS supporters are saying it crossed the line.
Reuters reported, “King Abdullah cut short an official visit to the United States on Tuesday. In a televised statement to the nation, he urged national unity and said the killing was a cowardly act of terror by a criminal group that has no relation to Islam.” Jordan promptly hanged two Islamic State Islamists–one a woman already sentenced to death for terrorism, and the other a man, sentenced to death for his leadership in al Qaeda. The Jordanian pilot’s father said, “I want the state to get revenge for my son’s blood through more executions of those people who follow this criminal group that shares nothing with Islam.” So separation of Islam and Islamic State apparently rests on a method of killing. I’m not kidding.
This is the way it is with Islam. There is always some contradiction that gives plausible deniability that this act or that one is associated with Islam. The clerics always point to the “peace of Islam” and how Islam is a peaceful religion. It is if you agree to submit to its brutal system of Sharia Law and make no waves, living you life in fear of upsetting someone. Because if you do, there is aplenty in the Koran to make sure what ever you do has severe and inhumane consequences. In 2012, an Islamic husband killed his wife because she bore him a daughter when he wanted a son. In 2013, an Islamic father burned to death his wife and injured his three daughters because one daughter wanted to marry for love.
American politicians often point out that everything bad about Islam is not representative of Islam. But we have to have the discernment of Jesus on these things. He said in Matthew 7:15,16, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Indeed, a system that uses a book written by a false prophet and separates its morals from its actions at will using such a book is a huge contradiction. And politicians that parrot this dialectic are their allies. The US “president” for example, said the Islamic Jordanian pilot represented “universal human values that stand in opposition to the cowardice and depravity of ISIL.” There is nothing in Islam that represents universal human values.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
