Christians bombing Muslims: A taste of their own medicine?

One journalist asks the unthinkable.

Saudi journalist Nadine Al-Budair recently asked what Muslims would do if Christians began to spread terror by blowing themselves up in the streets or if they attempted to lead Muslims to Christ.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "Imagine a Western youth coming here and carrying out a suicide mission in one of our public squares in the name of the Cross," Al-Budair wrote.

"Imagine that two skyscrapers had collapsed in some Arab capital, and that an extremist Christian group, donning millennium-old garb, had emerged to take responsibility for the event, while stressing its detrimination [sic] to revive Christian teachings or some Christian rulings, according to its understanding, to live like in the time [of Jesus] and his disciples, and to implement certain edicts of Christian scholars."

Al-Budair continued, asking her readers to imagine the sounds of monks and priests drifting from church windows and prayer houses "in and out of the Arab world, screaming on loudspeakers and leveling accusations against Muslims, calling them infidels, and chanting: 'God, eliminate the Muslims and defeat them all."

She asks for people to imagine they had access to "an endless number" of immigrants who came into their country equipped with visas, IDs, registration papers for citizenship, "proper jobs," free education, healthcare, social security and more, then one of the several groups attacks.

That group kills people in the streets, bombs buildings, slaughters children and staff at schools, slaughters a Muslim neighbor then stores the severed head in the freezer.

Al-Budair painted a terrifying image of what Muslim lives would be subjected to, all of which were based on actual events in other countries at the hand of Muslim extremists and ISIS sympathizers.

"Imagine that we visited their country as tourists and they shot at us, blew up car bombs near us, and announced their opposition to our presence [there] by changing: 'remove the Muslims from the land of culture.' These images are far from the mind of the Arab or Muslim terrorist because he is certain, or used to be certain, that the West is humanitarian and that the Western citizen would refuse to respond [in this manner] to the barbaric crimes [of the Muslim terrorists]."

She then calls for her readers to recall the years since Al-Qaeda's initial attack on 9/11, stating millions of Muslims have traveled to the West in safety and without prejudice.

"It is strange that we [Muslims] believe we have the right to condemn such statements rather than address the implications of some of our extremist curricula, our education, and our regimes, and be ashamed [of them]... It is strange that we condemn [the West] instead of addressing what is happening in our midst - the extremist ways in which we interpret the shari'a and our reactionary attitudes towards each other and the world."

She wrote that it was strange that rather than apologize to the world, "we condemn."

Al-Budair asks that people pretend they visit countries where students grow up learning Muslims are infidels, and that killing one would lead to the "virgins of paradise."

"Would you extend your stay there to the end of the summer, or stay away," she asked. She continued, asking if they would ban Christians from entering Arab countries, to imagine the war that would break out as Westerners "shed their values in the face of the bloody crimes," and "if Western or Christian counter-radicalism had emerged in our Arab cities."

After turning the tables and asking Muslims to see things from the Christian perspective, she began her wrap-up: "After all these farces, some Arab analyst comes out touting a pathetic message, and reciting the same words in his friend's ear that has been repeated millions of times: 'Those [Muslims who commit terrorism] do not represent Islam, but only themselves.'

"This is all we [know how to do] - absolve [ourselves] of guilt."

She then concluded that Trump's anti-Muslim statements are an example of the public's opinion toward Muslims - terrorists or not.

Please pray that God touch the hearts of our leaders and do your part in spreading awareness that not all Muslims are terrorists.
