Islam Camp
by Billy Dickson
The state of Iowa is thinking about letting an Islam youth camp open but before they do that there are some questions that need to be looked at.
I hope you have never treated anyone bad because of their spiritual faith but if you have I hope you will repent to God and then to the person or persons you hurt.
Also if anyone in the name of Jesus or the Christian faith has treated you bad please know they were not speaking for God and some people are Christians only by name like Hitler not by fact.
I think us who follow Jesus not only have a right but a duty to reach out to others like those who part of another faith. It is always wrong to do evil or be rude mean to those who are different from us.
The boss of us Christians and our master Jesus Christ loved all people and died for everyone Jews, Muslims, Christians, and those of no faith, etc.
So how we treat others needs to be brought under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
At the same time we must accept the fact that not everyone is like us and some should not be given the same rights as others. Yes, love them but do not accept their teachings or give them rights to take part in their faith.
In the state of Iowa there is an argument going on about a youth camp for Muslims. The Omaha, NE. newspaper came out last week and said they hope the people who are against it are arguing from conviction rather than misplaced fear or prejudice.
However in my view there are some questions that need to be discussed before this camp is open. What are they going to teach the kids?
Do the leaders of this camp plan to teach the kids that is their right and duty to kill Christians, Jews and will they tell the kids they should be happy about 911?
Not until these questions are looked into should this camp be given the ok to open for the sake of America and all of us including our kids.
