A recent post (http://www.biblewheel.com/blog/index.php/2010/05/03/ergun-caners-crimes-against-god-and-the-global-community/) on my blog has received some attention by Muslims who publicly speak strongly against violence. For example, one Muslim said "By Allah no Muslim who has ill intentions towards Christians will do so while I am around." Note how serious he is - he swore by Allah! He means what he says. I went to his site and found this article where he defends Christians:



A Call Upon Fellow Muslims to Boycott Malaysia! (http://thegrandverbalizer19.blogspot.com/2010/01/call-upon-fellow-muslims-to-boycott.html)

Bismillah ir rahman ir raheem,

As salamu 'alikum wr wb (May the Peace, Mercy of Allah and Blessings be upon you).

I Call Upon All Muslims Every Where To Boycott Malaysia and Malaysian Products Until The Government Can Bring To Justice Those Destroying Churches!

I call upon the same Muslims who would boycott Denmark because of a cartoon. If you have any courage, humanity and justice in your bones or soul, than speak out against the injustice against Christian churches in Malaysia. It's odd enough that these so called Muslims are using cocktail's (what are Muslims doing with alcohol any way) not that it's a suprise.

The Christians have been using the word Allah for a very long time in Malaysia. They have used the word Allah in the middle east long before Muslims were on the scene. What is happening to the Christian churches is disgusting.Let us remember what Jesus told us about such people:
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
In a world being torn apart by religious sectarianism, this Muslim brother is a welcome ally in our Christian calling to be Peacemakers. Let us remember what Christ said concerning those who help others:

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

How wonderful it is to find people who are willing to stand up and speak for Truth, no matter what faith they come from! Truth will always stand triumphant amidst the lies.

Here are a couple articles I found after a quick Google. We Christians must stand with our fellow peacemakers!

MUSLIM PEACE ACTIVIST TAWFIK HAMID TO SPEAK AT HOUGHTON (http://www.houghton.edu/news/articles/20061017.asp)

HOUGHTON, N.Y. —Tawfik Hamid, a former member of an Al Qaeda affiliated organization brings his message of peace to Houghton College on Monday, Oct. 23.

As a teenager Hamid joined Jammaa Islameia, a terrorist organization led then by Ayman al Zawahiri who is now second in command to Osama bin Laden. Hamid was chosen by this organization to debate and criticize Christians. To fulfill this role he started to read the Bible and began to realize his fundamental disagreements with terrorism. Hamid then began speaking regularly in mosques where he started a path of reformation of Islam and developed a peaceful understanding of Islam that is compatible with human rights.

'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,' says Hamid on his web site.
And another:


Renowned Muslim Peace Activist Heads New MAS Freedom Human and Civil Rights Division (http://www.masnet.org/takeaction.asp?id=3729) New Division Will Focus on Human Rights and Liberties in the U.S. and Muslim World

WASHINGTON, DC - Sept. 8, 2006 (MASNET) Internationally renowned peace activist, Ibrahim Ramey, has joined the Muslim American Society's Freedom Foundation (MAS Freedom) as director of its new Human and Civil Rights Division.

Ramey, who previously served as the non-nuclear proliferation chief of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, one of America’s oldest peace organizations, has been a tireless champion for global peace and reconciliation.

He holds UN credentials, and has been a U.S. representative and presenter at countless conferences on global peace, nuclear proliferation and international conflict resolution. Ramey is also one of the founding members of Muslim Peace Fellowship. In June 2005, Ramey was a part of MAS Freedom’s Abrahamic peace delegation to Darfur, Sudan.
Given that it is the National Day of Prayer, and that there is a great furor about the "dis-inviting" of Franklin Graham because of his post 9/11 remarks about Islam, Ramey's recent comments (http://iamramey.blogspot.com/2010/04/onward-christian-soldier-part-2.html) on this issue are quite timely.
