Guest shiloh357 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 When are Christians ever supposed to be in the business of appeasing false religions? Well, TBN is doing it for revenue. You are right. We are not supposed to appease anyone, but Paul Crouch is falling all over himself for the Muslims and he purging his ministry of anything that might be a blessing to the Jews in order to appease the Muslim community. He has other options, He could do what CNN does. They have their company compartmentalized and they have programming called "CNN International" that is only shown in Europe and Asia and has programming not received in the US. Crouch could do the same thing, but then he would probably still get flack from Muslims in the US who would use their Middleeast counterparts to strongarm Trinity in changing its programs to suit Muslim viewers in the US.

There are 550,000,000 Arabs, and about 6,000,000 Jews in the Middle East. The Arab world possesses more land than any other single ethnic group on the Planet. The Jews own a country half the size of Lake Michigan. With a near limitless amount of space to erect new stations, thus bringing in much more revenue for TBN, they must feel they can afford to lose those shows that support Israel over againt Islamic fundamentalism. It is strange, that if there is such a distinction between Islamic Fundamentalism, and the "REAL Islam" we are told that does not approve of terrorist activities, why would such programs be offensive to the "religion of peace?" One would think that "REAL Muslims" would not be morally opposed to these types of shows that expose radical Islam's anti-Israel agenda. One would think that "REAL Islam" would lock arms with anyone opposed to Islamic terrorist activities and would welcome any broadcasts exposing this threat. Yet, TBN feels pressured to cancel such shows in order to appease these Muslims. It would appear that the divide between the two types of Islam are not has clear as the liberals would have us believe. I really don't understand why TBN does not create programming suitable for regional viewing? For example, why not have more programming for the Arab world, in Arabic hosted by Arabic Christians? Zola's Program could remain on the channels that receive TBN in the US. They could do the same for other regions as well. Dave, I think the following Scripture applies: 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

I now support Daystar. TBN says that the reason they do not want Islam being preached against on their network is because it interferes with their efforts to evangelize followers of Islam. I will simply say I am sure their hearts are in the right place, but I disagree with them. Well, I'm not so sure about that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
