Nation of the World-Wide Ruthless

I don’t think Muslims have any idea of what Martyrdom is so let me lay it out for ya.  From the Greek word meaning ‘witness’, the term was originally used within Christianity for the Apostles — that is, those who had witnessed Christ’s life and resurrection, Christians came to be persecuted in the pre-Constantinian period, it was used first for those who underwent hardship for the faith, and then only for those who died for the faith.  Now this is the example of what real martyrdom is.  It is people who, without struggle, die for thier faith simply because that is what they believe.  In the very early stages of Christianity, Christians were persecuted and murdered just because they were Christians.  And these heroes didn’t resist, they didn’t complain, they died horrible deaths so that their religion would be glorified.  And seeing Muslims today use Martyrdom as an excuse for abhorrent atrocities really makes me sick to myself.

Now Im not saying Muslims can’t be Martyrs,  there are plenty of  muslims who died rightously for thier faith and this can’t be denied.   But I believe most of the Muslim world  just doesn’t have a clear understanding of what it means.  First of all, you can’t kill yourself and be a Martyr.  That just doesn’t work.  You can’t murder someone and claim that your a Martyr.  No.  You have to be murdered.  And you have to be killed because of your religion.  You have to be killed for the exact reason that your a certain religion and the other party wants to kill you for it.  Now this is just not going on in the Muslim world, at least not by the West.  Secondly, not any muslim that dies is a Martyr.  You have to be persecuted because of your faith.  But what is going on in Iraq and Afganistan and Gaza is not persecution of religion.  It is purely nationalism.  Now that is like saying that the people who died in September 11th are martrys to the Christian faith.  But that is not true and I have never heard that explanation.  But if any Muslim dies unjustly, and their is plenty of that going around, that doesn’t mean they died for thier faith.  They died because of thier government or the government of the powers that be. 

Suicide is not an act of rightousness, no matter what the cause and the clear misunderstanding of Muslims on this position just shows how out of touch with God many of them have become.  The willingness to murder oneself and to murder others in the name of religion is not inspired by God.  Real religion does not kill or murder but it promotes love and understanding.  Now this is true thier is no other truth than this.  Just because you say you are religious does not make it so.  All men are judged by thier fruits and thier actions not what they claim thier faith to be.  This cultures obsession with Martrydom is one of the most dangerous problems our world is facing today.  The willingness to die or to kill oneself to promote thier Nationalistic agenda is one of the biggest problems we are facing today and will burn the whole world if it is not stopped.  Thier are real Martyrs on both sides of this picture, and to misuse this term for your own purposes is an afront to religion everywhere.  Jesus Christ was a man who let himself be murdered, and forgave the people that murdered him while they were murdering him.  This is an example of pure Martyrdom.  One man dying for the betterment of all.  But this constant and wrong obsession the Muslims have with Martyrdom is just not accurate and maybe they need to go to Sunday school to get a better grasp on this issue.  Long live the Jews…….
