Points to Ponder No 40 14th December, 2015
Often, we read that a Moslem who commits murder and suicide bombings, especially but not only against Jews/Israelis, in the name of Allah will be recognized as a shahid (martyr) and will be rewarded with 72 virgins. We shrug our shoulders and say “who can possibly believe that?”
But this is exactly what is preached in the mosques. Watch Saudi Sheikh Yahya Al-Jana’ wax lyrical about the joys of the virgins of paradise.
And see Palestinian cleric Khaled Al-Maghrabi discuss the annihilation of the Jews and the virgins of paradise in a sermon in the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5138.htm

Although Christians are persecuted and massacred not only in the Moslem world but also in Africa, in particular in Nigeria by Boko Haram, much of the energy of many Christian denominations seems to be busy censuring Israel and promoting BDS (boycott, divest and sanction) against Israel.
This hypocritical attitude also overlooks the attempts by Moslem religious leaders to convert Christians, first by persuasion and then by force. An Egyptian Sheikhs lead the Islamisation campaign in Africa proclaiming: Jesus is the slave of Allah and his messenger. http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5184.htm
