For all his pretensions to "multiculturalism" and "global thinking" the elite secularist suffers just as much provincialism, blindness and self-pride as those he looks down upon as benighted lesser beings. Following his irrational faith in human "progress" the secularist ignores contrary lessons offered in abundance by competing religions and by objective human history. He sees the past as always per se worse than today, and tomorrow as necessarily more "advanced" than today. Under his blinkered religious thinking the secularist presupposes that all persons in the world must think and react just as he would, and all for the betterment of man. Small wonder that our best and brightest did not "forecast" Mohammedans murdering Mohammedans on vast scales.

Of greater concern to me is the worthy Dennis Prager's apparent sharing secularism's foolish presumptions. For an orthodox Jew to find Mohammedan bloodthirstiness "unforeseeable" -- Ow. Both reason and revelation provide irrefutable evidence of Mohammed's fixation on lust, blood and death. Reason directs us to the long historical record of Mohammedan crimes and hatred. Their mistreatment of Jews alone would certainly prove the lie to protestations that Mohammed preached a "religion of peace." Let alone all of us other "dhimmis" (root concept: dimunition). Just as secularist Marxian sects engaged in vicious intramural violence while each deeming themselves superior to all non-Marxists, so also have, and do, Mohammedan sectarians.

As for Divine revelation: Mohammedans claim that "Mohammed is the prophet" of a self-conceived god they call Allah. They further claim their descent from Ishmael, firstborn son of Abraham. But Almighty God told Abraham, about this son: "He will be a wild man, his hand will be against every man". God ordained that Ishmael, "son of the bondwoman", be "cast out" of the family of Abraham, declared to be no son of Abraham's -- dis-adopted, as it were. God ordained "through Isaac shall your seed [descendants] be called" unto God for salvation from sin. For through Isaac came Israel, and Judah, and David, and all of God's true prophets, and ultimately our final Prophet, Priest and King, the Lord Jesus Christ. Denying Christ is Lord and God, Mohammed most certainly is a false prophet. He abysmally fails the test of one-hundred-percent accuracy fixed by God in the Torah. Mohammed advocates actions which violate the Ten Commandments revealed two thousand years before he ever came to be. And, the god who Mohammed claims to represent is most certainly less than our Almighty God and LORD. The unholy Koran's "god" is but a pale, partial description of the One True God Who revealed Himself in ancient times and in diverse manners -- Law, Prophets, and Writings -- and finally some six hundred years before Mohammed by His Son. Mohammed stole his material from Judaism and Christianity. Mohammed's god is not their Immanuel. Mohammedanism lacks a doctrine of grace -- thus knows no means of reconciliation of man to God or of man to man; the only "peace" Mohammedans know is the "peace" of the grave. Mohammedism lacks a doctrine of Trinity -- thus knows no means of reconciling the one with the many in amicable unity; Mohammedanism is inescapably Monist, forcing all to submit to one, "might makes right," the law of the jungle. Mohammedanism lacks a doctrine of atonement -- thus knows no means of obtaining pardon for sin and assurance of God's favor; all is "works righteousness," the way of Cain who envied and killed his elect brother. Just as for Cain, Mohammed's true "god" was himself. Mohammed's adherents do likewise.

p>I do hope that Mr. Prager contemplates God's revelation of Himself. God's Word reveals the true, pagan pattern of Mohammedan self-consuming bloodlust. I also recommend that our "forecasters" consider Mohammedan behaviors in light of our Creator's revelation of what fallen men of any stripe will do. Thus says the LORD: "All who hate Me love death." br> -- David James Hanson br> Fayette, Iowa /p>
