Islam gaining converts despite distortions
Thursday, December 28, 2006
Many black and white Americans continue to adopt Islam as their religion of choice in spite of the fact that the present U.S. government, the churches and the news media have left no stones unturned to project Islam and the Quran as evil and to associate Islam with terrorism. Even the local libraries keep Islamic literature in the section dealing with terrorism.
The most striking thing in Islam is the differentiation between the creature and the creator.
Jesus is described in the Quran as a special human miraculously created in Mary’s womb. This concept appeals to many people more than the Christian belief that he is the son of God or the Jewish belief that he was an illegitimate child.
The Jews believe that they killed Jesus and the Christians believe that Jesus died to expiate people’s sins, while the Muslims believe he was raised by God alive and will return before the Day of Judgment.
While America offers freedom of religion, it’ll be common to see more Americans becoming Muslims and forming a backbone for Islam, regardless of the negative propaganda and prosecution by anti-Islamic groups.
