Allah, God, and the Yahweh Man are the same

Uh, nope. Danger Will Robinson. That’s ecumenism, people (OK – a big word, but the fine folks at Progressive Living are gonna help us out with a definition).
“Ecumenism is a movement that seeks to achieve unity among all religions through cooperation and the fostering of greater mutual understanding. Most humanists have little to complain about where ecumenism is concerned, as the ecumenical process is inherently one that dispels fanaticism and that, at its best, attempts to arrive at the truth through a careful weighing of contending viewpoints. This is, of course, one of the methods of arriving at the truth advocated by Humanism as well.”
“In its broadest meaning ecumenism is the religious initiative towards world-wide unity.”
Hmm. Sounds ok, right? Unity. Who’d have a problem with that?
Let’s explore why a world religion may not be such a good thing:

There’ve been plenty of things written on this subject pro and con, but here’s one I think is pretty close to the mark.

I have good Muslim friends with whom I’ve prayed, exchanges stories of faith and life.

Ok – but I wonder what they think about the koran saying:
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. – 5:54

What we see now is Wahbisim,

It’s not some special Wahhabi version of the koran that says:

Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. – Sura 2:98

On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. – 2:191

Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme. – Sura 2:193 and 8:39

Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil. – 4:76

But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them. – 4:89

O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there are 20 steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish 200; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding. – 8:65

It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. – 8:67

When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. – 9:5

Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are People of the Book, until they pay the tribute and have been humbled. – 9:29

O Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites. Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey’s end. – 9:73

Fight unbelievers who are near to you. 9:123

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. – 47:4

Muhammad is Allah’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Through them, Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers. – 48:29

What i meant was that their ignorance about our religion and their intolerance is fueling the terrorist movement. I refuse to be intolerant of them and lower myself to their ignorant level.

Joe – I absolutely refuse to lower myself to their level…
