A Reminder of What Islam is Really About Especially for Women

(Genesis 1:27; Galatians 3:28)

**ASK BILL: Pastor Bill, what's your take on Sid Roth? I understand he is a Jew and lately has been telling Christians not to forget the Jews in Israel who are Christians, and also to pray for those who are not Christians.

ANSWER: Sid is a Messianic Jew who has been serving the Lord faithfully for decades. For the record, a dear husband and wife who discipled me during the first days of my minsitry 20 years ago, introduced me to Sid. Sid gave my ministry the first $1,000 gift at a time when we were just starting in 1992. I have gotten to know him well, and he has a passion for souls. He was a big influence over the Jews for Jesus movement in the 70s and 80s. From his Jewish roots he knows the miracle working power of God, and has focused on that in his long running radio program Messianic Minute and current TV program. He is the real deal with a pure heart who I have watched faithfully serve the Lord during my 20 years in ministry.

A reminder what Islam is really about, especially for women! Since the media refuses to tell you the truth about Islam because they have been intimidated into silence, it allows you to almost forget there are 1.3 BILLION Muslims worldwide who want ALL non-Muslims (infidels) dead with the goal to control every nation on the planet! Let me help to insure you NEVER FORGET! There is no such thing as 'radical Islam" or "radical Muslims." Any Muslim who practices Islam hears the same message, reads the same Qur'an, and believes the same thing all Muslims believe regardless if they are in Tehran, Riyadh, Cairo, Islamabad, Dearborn, Michigan, or Houston, Texas!!!

-A Christian in Pakistan was recently executed. His crime? Insulting the prophet Mohammed!!!

-A Christian woman in Cairo, Egypt was dragged out of her car by a gang of Muslims and killed. What did she do? Had a cross hanging on her rearview mirror!!!

-A movie about how Muslim women are treated, including those killed through "honor killings," is being targeted by Muslims to keep it from every being seen, attempting to hide from the world the truth about the sad and pathetic life of a Muslim woman!!!

-The FBI is currently searching for an Army recruit who has told people he is planning on committing a "Ft. Hood style jihad" against military personnel!!!

-In Columbus, Ohio, there is a billboard that proclaims the lie "Jesus was a Muslim!" This is designed to cause confusion amongst the ignorant masses since Islam didn't even exist until 600 years after the death of Jesus!!!

-ABC was prepared to launch a new program called, "Alice of Arabia." CAIR and other Muslim advocacy groups intimidated the network into canceling the program because they claimed it perpetuated "anti-Muslim stereotypes!!!"

This is just a small microcosm of events over the past week. As I have shared before, thanks to the shrinking size of our world due to satellite television and the Internet, you can find examples from around the world each day demonstrating the hatred, violence, terror, and death perpetrated by Muslims worldwide. This is what the false religion of Islam has been about for the 1400 years since it was founded by a Mecca businessman Mohammed under the inspiration of satan himself!!!

In this male dominated false religion, women are treated as nothing more than property. In Islam, woman are not equal to men in any way. The Qur'an says that the testimony of a woman is not equal to that of a man. It says that the testimony of two women is required to be equal to the testimony of one man. Call in two male witnesses from among you, but if two men cannot be found, then one man and two women whom you judge fit to act as witnesses. (Qur'an 2:282 Dawood) Interestingly, Islam teaches the vast majority of those in hell are women. Ibn Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger said: I had a chance to look into paradise and I found that majority of the people was poor and I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women. (Muslim, vol. 4, hadith 6597, p. 1432).

In the false religion of Islam, beating women is not only common, but something their "holy book" encourages. "And those (wives) you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them." (Qur'an 4:34, Arberry) Many hadiths encourage wife beating. Umar reported the Prophet as saying, "A man will not be asked about why he beat his wife." (Mishkat Al-Masabih, p. 693: Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah) Mohammed was also recorded to have beat his wives.

Of course, a woman's chief responsibility is to satisfy her husband sexually. Mohammad gave strong warnings to women who would not accommodate their husbands/masters desire. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (p.) said, "If a man invites his wife to sleep with him an she refuses to come to him, then angels send their curses on her till morning." (Bukhari, vol. 7, hadith 121, p. 93) For the Muslim man, upon his death he believes there will be many virgins waiting for him. "Surely for the godfearing awaits a place of security, gardens and vineyards and maidens with swelling breasts, like of age, and a cup overflowing." (Qur'an 78:31-33, Arberry) In the world of Islam, women have no legal standing, and are little more than a man's punching bag and sex object.

I love you and care about you so much. Never forget the truth about this false religion from the pits of hell itself! Why a woman would want to be part of the false religion of Islam is beyond me, though many have no choice. They are believed to be inferior to men and little more than slaves who exist for the benefit of men. I have no clue why any woman would want to be part of these lies from the pits of hell, especially when you know the TRUTH about women as God tell us in His Word. All throughout the Bible, women have played an incredible role in the plan of God. We see women being used by God in incredible ways, helping to fulfill His Divine plan. Women have always played a key role in God's work, and I want to make sure we never lose sight of how important they are in the Kingdom of God.

THE LIE OF SATAN THROUGH THE TEACHINGS OF THE FALSE RELIGION OF ISLAM IS THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR TO MEN. THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD TEACHES THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL!!!

I want to encourage women who are following the lies of Islam that you are NOT inferior to a man. God made you EQUAL with men. He loves you, has a special plan and purpose for your life, and wants the best for you. The fact is a large percentage of women in Islam did not choose these beliefs or make a conscience decision to commit their lives to them, they were born or married into them. You cannot be born or married into Christianity. It is a choice, a decision you have to make to give your heart and life to Jesus. He loves you and wants to have an everlasting relationship with you. You don't need your parents or a man or anyone else to know Jesus as your personal Savior. It is a relationship you enter into by faith.

The fact is that all of us, men and women, are born with the sin of Adam in addition to those sins we commit during our life. It is our sin that separates us from God our Creator. But God loved us so much, He sent Jesus to die for our sins. That is why it is faith in Jesus alone, not Mohammed, but the Jesus of the Bible who is GOD that will save your soul. It is not too late. You can turn from the lies of Islam today and ask Jesus into your heart and life by faith and He will. Take a moment, pray, and ask God to open your heart and watch this video clip: http://www.liveprayer.com/plan.cfm
