Wishing our Muslim friends a peaceful and reflective time as they begin their Ramadan fast.
May it be a period of reconciliation, understanding, growth, peace, forgiveness, and harmony.

How cam Muslims celebrate Islam when an average of 180,000 people are killed in the name of Allah every year since Muhammad?

I have no answer to this question, but I can only hope that peace and love will pervade the minds of those who seek it irrespective of their religion.

its the start of Ramadan here in Malaysia too, there will be lots of traditional food for breaking fast we don’t normally have at other times, is it the same there in the UAE?

Yes it is. I guess it’s pretty much the same all over for Muslims.

In the past 1450 years since Muhammad, over 180,000 people have been killed in the name of Islam per year. Thats 250 million people killed to advance Islam. How can you celebrate Islam?

I’m doubtful if there’s any teaching of Christ that requires me as a Christian to segregate myself from others due to their religious beliefs. I’m no better than any other misguided person out there and I think the biggest problem that the World has is that the sons of men have turned the word of God into a weapon for judgement and battery of each other. I don’t celebrate Islam because I am not Muslim, I however, recognise the fact that I live in the Middle East where most of my neighbours are Muslims and they are decent folks whom I respect them irrespective of their choice of belief. I am not interested in practising religion but my question to myself would always be ‘what would Jesus do?’ We preach love.

I’m certain that Jackie was able to write this post because she lives a life that’s genuinely centred on Christ’s teachings. 🙂
i.e. Love, forgiveness, leaving judgement to God and accepting others without prejudice or bias regardless of their faith, because we are all God’s children.

We are all God’s creation whom He loves, but only through believing and confessing Christ as Savior can we be sons and daughters of the Most High.
