Not in My Church

Filed under: Christians, Islam, Moderate Muslims, Muslims, Protestants, Radical Islam — Michael van der Galien, Editor-in-Chief on May 12, 2007 @ 4:38 pm CEST

Michelle Malkin has a post up about a Church in Spring Hope, North Carolina, about a Church sign that has caused quite some controversy. The sign:

(’Don’t be deceived, the message of “Islam” is submit - convert - or die. Not salvation in Jesus Christ.’)

Michelle defends the sign, I have absolutely no intention of doing so. Firstly: it’s stupid (somehow I don’t think you’re winning over moderate Muslims if you put up signs like this); secondly, it’s not true; thirdly, I thought that Christianity was about love, not about trying to insult as many people as possible.
