I received this personal testimony of what goes on in Turkey regarding the teaching of Islam. It was in thanks to my post entitled, "Islamophobia: The New Psycho Disease?" http://www.michnews.com/ .
"Well said, Mr Swank.
"As an Armenian who grew up in Turkey, I know for a fact that what you are saying is the truth. I would like to add one of my own experiences in that ‘secular’ country:
During the school years 1965-66 and 66-67, I attended a Turkish public school named Mahmut Sefket Pasha elementary school in Ferikoy, Istanbul.
"There was a religion class from which I was naturally excused. However, after standing in the hallway for several weeks, I decided to sit in the class. I continued to sit in until the chapter was about ways a Muslim can get to paradise.
"One way was beyond the reach of the average person: By being extremely wealthy and giving to help the spread of Islam. The other way was by converting or killing a non-Muslim (gavur). It said one and two killing and conversion was good but three would guarantee a space in paradise complete with forty concubines.
"At nine years of age, my face did not betray my feelings and the teacher immediately excused me again, this time permanently, from that class.
"Islam is dangerous because when a Muslim has less then what he desires, he will not hesitate to die as long as he takes the lives or converts the required number of gavurs."
In addition to the above, in worship this morning we prayed for Christians persecuted in Pakistan. Our intercession was informed by a notation in Franklin Graham’s publication, "Prayer Point: A Prayer Ministry of Samaritan’s Purse" (POB 3000, Boone, NC 28607-3000):
"An 8-year-old boy was recently assaulted by classmates at a Pakistani school because his parents are Christians.
"His eyebrows were shaved off to humiliate him. The child’s parents asked the principal to punish the boys involved in the incident, but the principal did nothing, preferring not to draw the ire of local Muslim families.
"Such occurrences are not unusual. Although Christians have been living in Pakistan since the Muslim state was crated in 1947, they continue to endure widespread discrimination, exclusion, and even violent persecution. Treated as ‘untouchables’ by the oppressive caste system, the majority of the Christians (less than 3 percent of the national population) live in urban slums in tent communities.
"The men are forced into menial, low-wage jobs such as garbage collection, while the women work as servants in private homes where it is common for them to be abused. Their children receive limited education due to prohibitive costs and harassment in the schools."
"Despite these challenges, Christian churches are growing in Pakistan. Samaritan’s Purse has partnered with the National Baptist Church to build six churches in the inner-city slums and in rural villages. Construction is planned for two more churches this summer Many lives are already being changed.
"After several visits by the pastor of a church in Islamabad, a gang leader finally agreed to go to a service. Stirred by the Gospel message and the love shown by the congregation, he began attending Bible studies. Now a believer, he is enrolled in a seminary and plans to become a minister.
"’Most people say miracles don’t happen. They are wrong,’ he said. ‘Now I can say that miracles do happen — by God through His people that He loves.’"
Yet there are still non-Muslims who believe Islam to be a "peace religion." It is a killing cult.
There are many Muslims who do not know the truth about Islam. They are called "moderate Muslims." They write articles and send emails defending their "peace religion" because they are in denial about Islam or because they are a part of the propaganda machine or because they are simply ignorant of their killing cult.
Islam is not a religion among world religions. It is a murdering agenda set to wipe out all non-Muslims from the globe. That is what Allah requires in the Koran.

Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, Which none do eat but those in sin."
