Hi, im a Christian but I admire the Muslim faith and am jealous at how you all love our Creator.--putting many Christians to shame.
This is just a plea to those Muslims who lean towards the views of Osama Bin Laden. I realize many Muslims dont agree with him:
I just wanted to plead with those who share the views of Osama Bin Laden that Gihad is necessary to kill off us humans in America born in other faiths.
God has shown me and many in America that -, yes, we have much to learn, and the term "ugly American" is something we Americans need to recognize in ourselves. The liberal spirit in our Country and the Western World is not pleasing to God. Our media entertainers and fashions are a shame and actually an embarrassment, for example.
I just feel that instead of trying to bomb and destroy America, that you all would find it in your hearts to pray for us stuck in the corruption in this Western civilization. You'd be surprised how many Americans are disgusted with Hollywood, and the materialism and arrogance just as you are. We just live our lives day by day and pray for God's protection around us while we refuse to partake of the habits and attitudes of this World system.
You wouldnt know us- as we are scattered everywhere- not standing out from the crowd.
Even at our jobs, we realize that we can't go along with the attitudes of those who don't know any better.
Saying "NO" to our self-nature and lusts, and "Yes" to what God wants from us.--which is often contrary to our human nature and those around us. Living in this decaying World but not of it.
So , I ask that instead of just pronouncing "Gihad" against America and other Countries that are ignorant of the Muslim faith, that maybe , instead, you could find it in your heart to intercede for us-- asking GOD alone- to send the disasters and trials to chisel and humble us. Ask God to wake us up to come back to him before we die. Dont YOU make the disasters artificially- let God send them. He has already sent the Tsunmami as a cleansing and needed no man to help Him. Just please pray for us instead of seeking to kill us- God hears all prayers, and needs noone to do His will with mankind. Judgement belongs with God and America is not exempt from this- so dont' worry, we will be answering for our behaviour.
Seeking to be a martyr on your own power is actually subtle hidden spiritual pride . Only when you become a martyr without planning to- does God recognize. Let Him give you the opportunity- not try to manufacture it artificially. I also do believe that If you are faithful to God through the teachings you have been taught, and that you have compassion in your hearts, that you will be with God when you die.
Sincerely,
