  I find it very hypocritical that you are asking us to look at the USA and emulate their 'noble' and democratic ways! Would that be the same USA that the moslim world considers as the greatest infidel? Why didn't you try Saudi Arabia, the custodians of your faith? How they allow non-moslim women to drive, ride on the same bus as men, allow them not to wear the jijab and are such a glorious bastion of democracy!

  THIS IS NO TIME FOR ANGER MR. OKO, IT'S TIME FOR UNDERSTANDING. YOU HAVEN'T LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO LEARN HOW THE BRITONS LIVE ALONGSIDE MUSLIMS, BUT I BELIEVE YOU ARE SUFFICIENTLY EDUCATED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SPANISH INQUISITION AND ALSO THE SLAUGHTER OF THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS WHO REFUSED TO BE PROSELYTIZED INTO CHRISTIANITY. MR. OKO, THE BEST WAY TO APPRECIATE MR. HUSEINI'S WRITEUP IS TO READ KAREN ARMSTRONG'S "A HISTORY OF GOD" CHAPTER 5 Unity: The God of Islam". THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND INSTEAD OF MISUNDERSTAND. I WAS A PIONEER OF NAVASCO, FOLIO 48. FROM THE FIRST SUNDAY IN SCHOOL WE WERE OBLIGED TO ATTEND SUNDAY EVENING CHURCH AFTER WHICH WE THEN WENT AND SAID OUR PRAYERS, IN A G.E.T. SCHOOL WITH A CHRISTIAN PASTOR AS HEADMASTER. HUH!! THUMBS UP BABALWAIZ.

  Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit says to the Churches
  
  One cannot compromise the TRUTH that has come to humanity through
  the Jews the covenant people of God.
  
  The line of TRUTH is that God covenated with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel)
  so that eventually the promised SEED (See Genesis 3) would have to come from Israel.
  
  God raised up Prophets among the Jews that they would have to foretell the Jews and for that matter the entire world about the future.
  
  Primarily, the Prophets or
  the custodians of the ORACLES of God wrote about the coming of Christ and the ushering in of HIS Kingdom.
  
  Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ did come and approved the authenticity of the Jewish Scriptures, by quoting from it, making reference to the Prophets, and above all testifying that all things in the Scriptures starting from Moses, the Prophets and
  Psalms indeed are about HIM, Jesus Christ.
  
  There are numerically countless of religious persuasions in the world, . You can google Wikepedia and others
  for your verification. So the challenge the individual faces is that which is the TRUTH.
  
  Let me point out that, it matters to the creator of the Universe what you believe.
  
  What you believe is what comes out of your mouth or testify about to others.
  
  That is why when you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came down from heaven, died and resurrected and that through the shedding of his blood, you are reconciled to God, and it is accorded to as righteousness, and if you confess it with your mouth it is SALVATION.
  
  Now the numerous religious persuasions are an attempt on the part of man to get connected
  to his creator, after the fall of man(Adam).
  
  Many religions do not have documentation on them. A few
  religious bodies with many adherents have documents. Yet, the contents does not in any way
  compare to the Bible which is a combination of the Old and New Testaments. Yes, no writings
  compares to the Bible in Authority, Wisdom and Power. The Scriptures has
  passed the test of time, scientifically, archeologically, historically etc. You can google and compare notes!
  
  Read the 5 books of Moses, and you will discover that, yes there is a LIVING GOD who is at work.
  
  The call upon Moses to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt was as a result of the remembrance
  of the covenant relationship that God had or has established with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
  
  God gave a foundation upon which HE ought to be worshiped by instructing Moses to write them
  down. God often tells Moses to write these things as a memorial.
  
  God told Joshuah (who took over from Moses) that as long as he(Joshuah) lives, no other man can over
  power him from the entire surface of the Earth. The fact is that we see from the writings of the Scriptures
  the divine power of God interacting with men.
  
  Subsequent Prophets kept reminding the Jews about their covenant relationship with God and the
  importance to stay close to God through the direction and instruction of the Prophets and Priests and
  also religious observances and laws.
  
  All these were in preparation towards the coming of Christ.
  (please see the book of Hebrews).
  
  Particularly, animal sacrifice which was an integral part of Jewish religious worship is no more and
  is not acknowledged by God. This is because Christ sacrifice ended it all, according to prophecies
  in the OT. Daniel prophesied about the Messiah being cut off, and make an end to sacrifice.
  
  Yet religions and nations are still sacrificing animals during festivities, in ignorance, and the God of Israel
  has no partnership in it (1st Corinth 10, 20). Even, today, in Samaria people still sacrifice. It is not surprising Christ said of the woman of Samaria, we Jews Worship whom we know FOR SALVATION is of the Jew.
  
  There is a way that seemeth right in the eyes of a man, but the end thereof
  is death.
  
  The fact is that you have to discover things from the Scriptures with all seriousness and discipline, making
  up time for it. So if you find yourself in an environment where there is the possibility to study the Bible, seize that opportunity and make a decision fast for the days are evil. One day on the day of judgement you will have to answer to Christ, who has said in HIS WORD that if you do not confess HIS name to the nations HE will also not recognize or approve you to his Father. This means you are to know Christ and tell people who HE is that He is the SON of God and Savior of the world and that no one comes to God except and except through HIM. On that day you and God face to face, for it is appointed unto man to die once and after that judgement.
  
  Christ, prior to his ascension prayed that we may may know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set us free.
  It is not the TRUTH that will set you free, but a KNOWLEDGE of it.
  
  Oneness of God. All the Jewish Prophets and for that matter the Jews adhered to the oneness of God,
  and you must submit to the fact that they submitted to the TRUE GOD, the GOD of Israel/the covenant
  God of Israel.
  
  It is the same God of Israel who did reveal himself to Israel in the person of HIS SON. When Phillip asked
  the savior, Jesus Christ, to show them the Father. Jesus answered, all these time that I have been with you, have you not known me.
  
  Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, for I am in the Father and the Father is in me.
  
  Jesus Christ also said every thing that belongs to the Father belongs to me. Indeed the Father is glorified
  in the SON.
  
  Jesus Christ is more than a messenger and more than a Prophet. He is the Son of God. On the day of transfiguration God spoke
  thus, THIS IS MY SON LISTEN TO HIM. And if you claim you believe in Jesus Christ, I put it to you
  that HAVE YOU BEEN BAPTISED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
  
  Throughout the OLD TESTAMENT we see the promises of God(of Israel) to humanity, and these promises
  are made Ye and Amen through Christ Jesus, according to the NT.
  
  Look, SALVATION is in Christ. When we receive Christ, we automatically acknowledge the promises of God in our lives through his Son, and in the eyes of God we have become HIS children, according to the prophecies in OT(see Isaiah) and John(NT)
  
  JESUS IS THE WORD of GOD. Through HIM creation came into existence.
  
  So far as the Jewish Scriptures is concerned, everything ended on the cross, for it was FINISHED,
  in the words of Jesus Christ. The WORD of GOD as in the Scriptures is final.
  
  Anything which is at variant with the Scriptures is unacceptable and cannot be compromised!
  
  Remember that God has given ETERNAL LIFE and that LIFE is in Christ Jesus, his SON.
