Muslims and Americans...

I just had a most interesting conversation with a muslim young man that is a student in Saudi Arabia. His name is Amahd. At first he only cursed at me and typed obscene gestures about america and what not. Then after about twenty minutes of me simply responding to him in a polite and respectful manner, he began to ask me questions about why I was so polite for and american. At one point he could have sworn that I had to be asian or black, because white americans only talk about hate and violence towards muslims and arabs. I eventually invited him to visit your site Jerry. I led him to this section on muslims. He was a little confused about some issues but over all he took in the rest of the main page and was astonished at the things that he read. I gave him my email addresses and asked him to keep in touch. He said that he would and gave me his name. He is 23 yrs old, a student and lives in Saudi Arabia.

I think this is a perfect example of showing the Love of Christ. The only thing that I did was tell him that because of my faith in Jesus, I loved everyone. He was leary at first and then began to come to life as we shared some of our different beliefs. He asked many questions and I simply answered him with respect and a love only Jesus could have given me. If we as Christians want to see this end time harvest come in, I think it is high time that we stop paying Christ lip service and begin to step out in that love and administer it to the world. The only way that the world will ever KNOW Jesus love is if we SHOW it to them.

This is a call to all Followers of the Lord to step up, move out, and simply LOVE the entire world. No matter what anyone has done to us personaly, as a nation, as a religion, or as a race, we cannot let satan win out by turning away the firey darts of the enemy with our own firey darts. We need to fight fire with the LOVE that will exstinguish the fire forever and shine forth the saving, restoring, healing, Loving, eternal power of Jesus Christ.

Pray for all Christians in this day and time, that we would increase in our awareness of giving the LOVE of CHRIST to the lost and dieing WORLD.

I have been married for 18 years to a muslim, from pakistan. I was married before to another man (a white american as I am also ) we had two children, I have no children with this husband, the point being my pakistani husband helped me raise these two children with no help from their birth father he gave up all rights and responsabilty, we now have 5 grandkids whom he is very good with and helps them also, we have worked together to get what we have, he was not rich nor am I we work hard he is a Nurse in a hospital and being from his country that is degrading to his family yet in Our country we appreciate good nurses female or males, he was an engineer but found no work so I directed him to nursing, and he is a great emergency room nurse. He is an exceptional man I think so and my kids think so and so do our grandkids.
I have met many people from white americans to black americans as well as all groups of ethnic americans some I would not associate with and some I would, I have preached the Lord to some who agreed with Our Lord and some who being Americans DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD LET ALONE JESUS CHRIST so it is not only the muslims that people think we have to fear, we have Americans who do not believe and people who kill and think nothing of it right in our own backyards, We all need to pray and just ask God to make it right Our World needs all the help it can get--Not just america The Whole World.
God Bless us all and keep praying and keep being peace makers. We will be helping our Lord. My Pakistani husband Believes in Jesus he is written and regarded in the Quran, yet he is not regarded in the Torah our jewish brothers do not believe in Jesus. You figure it out.

That is true that a lot of people in the west do not believe in god at all,and believe that they are so advanced or have prospered because of their own efforts.The western society have progressed materially but declined morally.In order to put things right i think we have to produce an example or be an example,just bieng or bieng called a christian is not enough,which it seems majority of us are,however i also believe calling jesus just a prophet is not enough,he was the son of god ie god himself in human form,who came on this earth to save mankind.

God Bless you and your family. I agree completely that we as Christians are not to judge anyone (Matthew 7:1 - Judge not that ye be not judged) but that we are to live as Christ did and when people see the love of Jesus in us, they will want to know more about our Savior. God gave us all free will. We need to celebrate the fact that with that free will he gave everyone the right to worship whom they feel led. We don't have to change our beliefs just celebrate thier rights to have thier own. This is truly the Christian love.
You story is so inspiring, thank you for sharing!
