Shining God’s Light on the Koran

This article is part of an on-going series. See previous articles: "Was Abraham a Jew or a Christian?", "Idolatry 101, 102, 103, and Oneness.


The Unbelievers

The Koran tells Muslims to say to unbelievers, “I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship. I shall never worship what you worship, nor will you ever worship what I worship. You have your own religion, and I have mine (1).”

Do you know how true the above statement is? It shows that Muslims are not to think for themselves. Dialogue is discouraged with those of other beliefs. It has the appearance of ‘live and let live’ from the Koran’s point of view. The non-Muslim is lead to think that he can believe as he desires and the Muslim can believe as he wants and there will be no animosity.


This is not the case. Muslims realize that Christianity and other religions are not the same as Islam. The uniqueness of Islam prevents it from being reconciled with Christianity in particular and other religions in general. In reality, the call from an Islamist to dialogue with Christians or to reconcile differences between Christianity and Islam is only a deceitful disguise to
ttempt to get Christians to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ.

The statement, “I do not worship what you worship,” shows that the Muslims know that the god of Islam is different than the God of Christianity and Judaism. “Nor will you worship what I worship,” shows an expected unwillingness on the part of unbelievers to change what they believe to that of Islam.

The Koran states that the disbelievers will wish they were Muslims one day (2). The Prophet is told to make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them (3). Believers are told, “Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous (4).” From the point of view of the Koran it is those who believe in Islam that are the “believers” and “righteous”.

Who then are the unbelievers? It is those who declare that God is the Messiah, the son of Mary (5).

An example of how Muslims treat unbelievers is revealed in Pakistan. A 14 year old girl, who was a Christian, dared to talk to her Muslim girlfriend about Jesus at school. She told her friend that He was the way of salvation. That very night the Muslim girl’s father came with nine other men and kidnapped the young Christian girl from her home. The men gang raped the girl and the parents were told she converted to Islam. The parents of the Christian girl have not heard from their daughter since.

Islam is cruel, brutal, savage, barbaric, deceitful and evil. Islamists, as well as all others who do not believe that Jesus is God, the Son of God, and do not receive Him their personal Savior are in the Kingdom or realm of Satan, being under the command of Satan. If you would like to escape the rule of Satan and transfer to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, you can confess to God that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead. Then invite Jesus into your heart and life. You can simply pray, “Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sin (evil) and come into my life.”
