Arabs.

[yomotalking]

I wanted to start this topic, because something has been on my mind for a long time.........maybe starting last year.

I was at Summer Camp in England last year, and a boy said the Muslims are terrible people, and they are lower than normal people.

I was a bit angry, and said it was not right to judge people in general.

We had a long discussion about it.

As time went by, we, as you guys know, went to Israel, and went around the country.

Coming back, I heard over and over about how hateful Muslims are, in the press, TV, and news, and today, on the Israel Bird Flu. And a hate grew inside of me. Against Muslims. The more I hear about them, and the things they do, I just want to explode.

I've told no one, but I feel like going up to that boy, and clapping him on the back, and saying "Too true."

I asked God to help me,but I still feel angry.

When I reads the Israel Bird Flu thing, and what that guy said, it was it for me!

The Samaritan woman that the Lord Jesus met at the well. Was she an Arab, or at least partially Arabic? At least she probably spoke Arabic, anyway.

But this woman, having several husbands in her past, and having been living with a man who was not her husband at the time the Lord met her, needed a drink of the water which quenches all thirst. The Arabs, despite all their ignorance and all their faults, need the same living water. The Lord Jesus overlooked the Samaritan woman's foolishness, ignorance, and sin, and gave her a drink of the water which gushes up unto eternal life. How much less should we give a drink of this water to those who desperately need it.

He payed a debt He did not owe, I owed a debt I could not pay...

Yomo, I cant stand all the hateful things muslims say against Jews, the Lord...and what they say about Jesus makes me ill. But they are lost sinners like we were too before we came to know Him. Jesus said love your enemies. I pray for them, that they come to know Him. When you feel like this about muslims, pray for them.

Condeming anyone for the simple reason that they belong to a specifc people group is not a Biblical way of thinking

Amen.

Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

Som Arabs are influenced by demonic spirits just like the rest of the world. I hate hate.

Honestly....it doesn't matter whether you're Arab, Jew, European, American, African, etc.

Why?.............Jeremiah 17:9; Matthew 15:16-20

Be DOERS of the Word, not just Hearers. (James 1:22-27)

Let's not descend into racism, here. The problem is not the Arab people; the problem is Islam. Islam is a horrible entity. Don't be fooled by the white bread, Starbucks drinking "Islam" that we see in the U.S. Islam is violent, and intolerant in any part of the world in which it gains ascendency.

Good point here. also let us remember who the true enemy of our soul is, it is satan! People are not really our enemies, it is the evil devil who is our enemy. Rebuke him and pray for those who are so heavily lost in the grips of the devil, the devil can be bound then the people can be blessed by Gods opening their eyes to Who Jesus is. This goes for anyone who does not know JEsus as their own true Lord and Saviour.

There are Arab Christians and even those sisters in the Lord who are in Christ and their husbands do not know and they live in fear and spiritual heaviness; we need to show our love not hate to them in Christ.

Seperate the hate of what is antiChrist and evil false religion from the nationality all you can, remembering Jesus wishes all to cometo HIm and be reconcilled. They are allowed to read the New Testament and after doing so, usually for the first time, many do come to knoe JEsus as Lord, too. Look into some ministries to people there and let Gods love build in you and not isolate anger towards any race in particular.

May the Holy Spirit and Grace of God rule in your heart always.

GOd bless you Yomo,

I have made friends with some Orthidox Christian Arabs who own a coffea shop a few doors down from where I work. They are some of the most Christ-like loving people I have ever known. They are originaly from Israel.
