From the Heart of a Muslim

Many of us have wondered aloud for years, "Where are the Muslim voices to speak out against the atrocities being waged by Muslims?"

We recently ran across this article first printed in April 2010. I pray the author, Tawfik Hamid, is still alive as he appears to be a voice in the wilderness....and no doubt other Muslims will want him silenced.

I was born a Muslim and lived all my life as a follower of Islam.

After the barbaric terrorist attacks done by the hands of my fellow Muslims everywhere on this globe, and after the too many violent acts by Islamists in many parts of the world, I feel responsible as a Muslim and as a human being, to speak out and tell the truth to protect the world and Muslims as well from a coming catastrophe and war of civilizations.

I have to admit that our current Islamic teaching creates violence and hatred toward Non-Muslims.

We Muslims are the ones who need to change. Until now we have accepted polygamy, the beating of women by men, and killing those who convert from Islam to other religions.

We have never had a clear and strong stand against the concept of slavery or wars, to spread our religion and to subjugate others to Islam and force them to pay a humiliating tax called Jizia. We ask others to respect our religion while all the time we curse non-Muslims loudly (in Arabic) in our Friday prayers in the Mosques.

What message do we convey to our children when we call the Jews "Descendants of the pigs and monkeys".. Is this a message of love and peace, or a message of hate?

I have been into churches and synagogues where they were praying for Muslims. While all the time we curse them, and teach our generations to call them infidels, and to hate them.

We immediately jump in a 'knee jerk reflex' to defend Prophet Mohammed when someone accuses him of being a pedophile while, at the same time, we are proud with the story in our Islamic books, that he married a young girl seven years old (Aisha) when he was above 50 years old.

The author goes on to pretty much nail many of the problems with Islam. Will the world wake up in time? Does the Christian church realize this is a spiritual battle best handled by prayers of the righteous?

Pray for Muslims that Christ will continue to change their hearts and continue to appear to thousands through dreams and visions.

We simply can't afford to bomb every single Muslim who hates American and wants to see us destroyed.

Bombs and planes are expensive...but prayer is powerful.
