Prophet Muhammad: Time Traveler
Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi was visiting the country of Uganda recently, there to celebrate the opening of the Gadaffi National Mosque. It was a week before Easter, so naturally he couldn’t resist declaring that the bible was a forgery. How does he know this? Because nowhere in the book does it mention the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He charges that his name was erased from the holy book, which obviously makes the prophet a time traveler as well as a leader of slaughtering armies. What’s educational about his remarks is not so much the shameless ignorance on display, but the example it offers those who still protest that there isn’t any difference between the major religions today, arguing that they’re all pernicious. The righteous reaction by Ugandan Christians speaks volumes about Christianity:
Let’s reflect upon a different scenario. The Ugandan president travels to Libya to open up a new Christian church and announces that the Quran is a forgery because no where in it does it mention Jerusalem. Does he leave the country alive? How many die in riots and terrorist attacks inspired by such ‘blasphemy’? We have seen the Friday mobs in the Islamic world writhing in malevolent outrage over innocuous cartoons or a teddy bear named Mo; is it unreasonable to predict wide-eyed barbarism launched by mullahs who teach their followers that their God is such an presumptuous imbecile that he can’t abide insubordination? If we are supposed to act Godly in our daily lives, it is no wonder that so many in the Middle East rage like children denied - their God is not the pinnacle of wisdom and forbearance, but much less. He’s all too human, aroused by human frailties and prejudices until he’s covered in the shame of his subjects. Until Islam matures, and moderate Muslims reject this celestial bully, those that oppress and murder in his name will be the face the world recognizes.
Today, Uganda finds the face staring back at them is the primitive face of seventh century Islam: Muammar Gadaffi.
