A question that quite simply isn’t being asked enough:
Is Islam really a religion of peace? Islamic State justified kidnapping women as sex slaves in the new issue of their online magazine. They said that it is a “firmly established aspect of Shariah” and anyone who denies this is denying the Koran. These are the militants who are currently terrorizing innocent Iraqis right now and advancing throughout the Middle East. Does this sound peaceful to you?
One of the commenters pointed out this passage from John 16: 1-4 that makes more sense now than ever:
“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.
