HOW TO PREACH ABOUT MUSLIMS AND JEWS
Why Christians Are the True Ministers of Peace
.
It is reasonable for Jews and Christians to presume that Muslims could be hostile toward any non-Muslims who are living near them. This is a huge sadness. But it is reasonable.

.

The Quran has verses about killing both Jews and pagans with whose nations Islam would consider itself to be at war. Are all Sunni or Shiite Muslims really in a permanent state of Jihad with the non-Muslim world?
.
It is hard to tell in any situation if they are. Are the Muslim migrants who happen to rape and kill people in host countries hatefully hurting their victims in the name of Allah? How can one tell? Do criminals who happen to be Christians, Muslims, or Jews always yell out, for all to hear, that they are behaving criminally in the name of God or Allah? 

.

Yes, Muslims often call out “Allah Ackhbar” after they have performed an antisocial act, but it appears that they yell it in the spirit of feigned or real spite concerning how they believe (or are acting as if they believe) that they are continually and negatively being perceived or treated illicitly, unfairly, or obnoxiously differently by their hosts. 

.

It has, moreover, always been very difficult for migrants of all kinds to cease loudly asserting their allegiance to their nation or religion of origin, for which they pine because it had been the issuer of their civil liberties that they had formerly enjoyed under their former places of origin or worship. They frustratedly demand to be protected, as if they are already citizens, by the U.S. Bill of Rights. 

.

But indeed it is true that Habeas Corpus promises them a court lawyer if they are detained, and that they retain the right of Due Process under the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments. 

.

Maybe they merely do not believe that they are so

protected or are pretending that they do not believe, so that they can obnoxiously or menacingly feign a posture of their being victims by their western hosts.

.

Is there a document anywhere that proves that our shrewd filtering vision deserves to screen every Muslim and by which our mistrust of having Muslims be our neighbors would be justified? 

.

Is it ever possible to differentiate between a Sunni Muslim and a Shiite Muslim, (the latter tending to be more peaceful), when seeing one congregate, jobless, on a street corner? Or from among them can we tell a Jihadist (warrior) from a Muslih (peacemaker) from our first impression of him? Can we ever be sure who or how they really are? There is never a reason not to love one’s neighbor. But who and how is one’s neighbor?

.

The United States contains 7 million Jews and Europe contains 1.3 million. Is anywhere in Christendom and the rest of Earth dependably safe from the Jihad? Can the Zionists of Israel be blamed for mercilessly annihilating every trace of Islamic presence in Gaza, including parents and children, because in their being Palestinian they would potentially harbor loyalty to Hamas? Search for the word “Verdict,” below.

.

Left ignorant about the intentions of an Arabic- or Pharsi-speaking migrant in the United States presents itself as one separate and domestic concern. If one’s supposed Muslim neighbor is unemployed and of military-service age, it is quite another. The amount of unemployed migrants from predominantly Muslim countries is shown in the below list, which also includes migrants from non-Muslim nations as a contrasting reference. 

.

Afghanistan: 64.3% (253k population, refugee group)

.

Yemen: 46.2% (105k population, refugee group)

.

Iraq: 43.5% (243k population, refugee group)

.

American Samoa: 40.8% (51k population, U.S. territory)

.

Cuba: 39.1% (1.7M population, Cold War refugees)

.

Syria: 38.5% (134k population, recent refugees)

.

United Arab Emirates: 37.0% (42k population, small sample)

.

Atlantic Islands: 33.8% (67k population)

.

Puerto Rico: 33.7% (1.9M population, U.S. territory)

.

Jordan: 33.3% (102k population)

.

(U.S. Census Bureau, 2024; and, “Immigrant Welfare Participation by the Numbers: Statistics As Political Weapons”; Dallin Overstreet; Polimetrics; Substack, January 5, 2026).

.

Sadly there is one extremely important global Jihadist document that declares that Muslims are supposed to find and destroy Jews and their supporters all over the world. 

.

The 1988 Hamas Covenant, which is active and has never been nullified or changed, definitively contains numerous explicit, belligerent, and uncompromising statements regarding Israel, the Jihad, and Jewish people in general.

.

Because all Jews worldwide are considered by Tel Aviv to be citizens of Israel, the Jihad is prejudiciously aimed at every citizen of that nation, whether they live in the United States or Europe.
.
The 1988 charter defines the conflict in absolutist religious terms:

.
The Preamble and Article 7:
The text explicitly states, “Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious,” and famously quotes a religious hadith calling for the killing of Jews.
.
Violent Ideology:
Article 8 explicitly defines the movement’s path as “death for the sake of Allah”.
.
Destruction of Israel:
Article 28 declares that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it.” The article explicitly targets the broader circle surrounding Israel and world Jewry, asserting that enemies challenge Islam and the Muslim people.
.
Jihad as Duty:
The document states that “there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad” and that initiatives or conferences are “a waste of time” (Article 13).
.
Article 22:
Promotes global allegations that Jewish people control major world events, the media, and past revolutions (including the French and Russian revolutions), and claims they were behind both World Wars.
.
Article 32:
Cites the antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as proof of a global plan of control.
.
The so-called more-moderate 2017 Document of General Principles and Policies, the “1988 update” by Hamas did little to lessen their model of contempt:
.
Endorsement of Armed Struggle:
Article 21 of the 2017 document explicitly states that “resisting the occupation [by Israel of Gaza and the West Bank] with all means and methods is a legitimate right,” placing “armed resistance at the heart of these” methods.
.
Rejection of Israel:
The 2017 update maintained the absolute refusal to recognize the state of Israel and upheld the goal of liberating Palestine “from the river to the sea”.
.
No Renunciation of Violence:
The 2017 text never repudiated military operations or established a commitment to peaceful resolution, serving as a political update rather than a structural transformation into a non-violent entity.
.
It is therefore difficult to know who one’s Muslim neighbor is and to know whether he is a peaceful promulgator of traditional Islamic jurisprudence (Tafsir). There are no worldwide denunciations by Muslim clerics of the 1988 and 2017 decretals.

.

There are indeed verses about showing respect for non-Jews. However, the verses guiding the permanent global war against Jews are basically shocking:

.
Surah At-Tawbah 9:5 of the Quran
states, “Kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them.”
.
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:191):
“Kill them wherever you come upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out…”
.
Surah Muhammad (47:4):
“So when you meet the disbelievers [in battle], strike [their] necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly…”
.
The Tafsir mindset, for the record, is to advocate peace toward one’s non-Jewish neighbors, but how can a Muslim in America confidently know if his neighbor is either not a Jew, is indeed a Jew, or is a person who supports Zionist Israel? It would seem expedient for “reverse-racism” to take hold here, so that mutual paranoia and collaborative mistrust between ignorant Jews and ignorant Muslims can define a cohabitational stasis of ironic peace.
.
General Quranic Rules on Non-Muslims:

.
Protection of Peaceful Neighbors (Surah 60:8):
The Quran explicitly commands kindness and justice toward non-Muslims who do not initiate aggression or drive Muslims from their homes.
.
Freedom of Belief (Surah 2:256):
States that “there is no compulsion in religion,” indicating that faith cannot be forced upon anyone.
.
The Quran explicitly commands Muslims to halt hostilities if the opposing side ceases fighting or sues for peace: “So if they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a way against them” (Surah An-Nisa 4:90). 

.

Hamas has never ceased its Jihadi operation in Israel since its October 7, 2023 attacks while Israel has never ceased its attacks against Gaza.

The Talmud’s Verses Against Non-Jews

.

The word Talmud comes from a Hebrew root meaning “study” or “learning”. It is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of modern Jewish religious law (Halakha), ethics, and tradition, serving as the record of centuries of rabbinic debates.

.

But Unlike the Torah, the Talmud Is Not the Word of God:

 

Unfit for Gentiles: “A gentile who studies Torah is liable to receive the death penalty” (Sanhedrin 59a).
.
Gentiles are non- or lower humans:
“Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai says that the graves of gentiles do not render one impure, as it is stated: “And you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, are man” (Ezekiel 34:31), which teaches that you, i.e., the Jewish people, are called “man,” but gentiles are not called “man” (Bava Metzia 114b).
.
Non-Jews are like animals:
Sanhedrin 57a appears to argue that the life of non-Jews is likenable to that of animals, who lack human rights in court, and who should be left in a pit into which they fall just as heavy livestock may need to be:
.
Inequality of Non-Jews:
“With regard to bloodshed, if a gentile murders another gentile, or a gentile murders a Jew, he is liable. If a Jew murders a gentile, he is exempt. Evidently, the term liable is used in the baraita… The Gemara answers: There, in that case, how should the tanna teach it? Should he teach it using the terms prohibited and permitted, indicating that a Jew may kill a gentile ab initio? But isn’t it taught in a baraita that with regard to a gentile, and likewise with regard to Jewish shepherds of small livestock, who were typically robbers, one may not raise them out of a pit into which they fell, and one may not lower them into a pit? In other words, one may not rescue them from danger, but neither may one kill them ab initio. With regard to robbery, the term permitted is relevant, as it is permitted for a Jew to rob a gentile” (Sanhedrin 57a).
.
Thus, calling Palestinians animals:
On October 9, 2023, following a security assessment at the IDF Southern Command, then-Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, stating: “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” (“Defense minister announces ‘complete siege’ of Gaza: No power, food or fuel”; Emanuel Fabian; Times Israel, October 9, 2023).
.
WHY THE WORD OF GOD IS BETTER THAN THE WORDS OF THE TALMUD AND THE WORDS OF THE QURAN:
.
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

.
“Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” Matthew 26:52).

.
“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight… but now is my kingdom not from hence” (John 18:36).

.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).
.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

.

“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

.

“Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham” (Galatians 3:7).

.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:3).

.

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all” (Romans 4:16).

 

.

THE VERDICT:

The only way to perform a “search and destroy” operation by getting inside of buildings and homes in order to route out Jihadists carrying weapons would be to execute a ground war. 

.

But ground war would use up all of Israel’s military resources, making them vulnerable to attack by the nations that hate Jews. This destruction of Israel would equate to its being Armageddon (Revelation 16:16; Zechariah 12:3, 14:2; Joel 3:2). Instead, the Zionists attack by drone missile and plane. Is this acceptable?

.

It is understandable why Israel would not cease its air attacks, which have killed thousands of children and adults. instead of allowing their own children to face annihilation. 

.

However, the blame for all these deaths still falls on both parties, Muslim and Zionist, equally, because they refuse to come over to Christ.

.

As for the Zionists, their regime is a house of leaders not very different from the murderous Herod’s or the warring wicked Jeroboam I, Omri, Ahab, Pkah, and Menahem, all of whom were as bad as Benjamin Netanyahu. 

.

The blame half-shared by Zionists is not because they are protecting their children from the Jihad, but because they refuse to turn their Faith over to Christ, who is the Prince of Peace. There would be less of a threat posed by the Jihad, because there would no warranted fear by Muslims against those who profess the New Testament and its body of the Moral Law, which protects all life. 

.

And Muslims who become Christians would replace their idea of Christ with the Jesus of the Incarnation by Whose Blood alone we are saved. Not their “Issa,” their version of the non-God Jesus, the “prophet” of “Allah,” who destroys his cross.

.

John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

.

Ephesians 2:14: “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;”

.

Luke 1:79: “To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
