"I was shocked to find a Muslim site (http://www.yanabi.com) where Muslims in their 'interfaith' forum do nothing else than insulting Christians, the Bible, Jesus, and everything that has to do with our religion. I was thinking, maybe we should join them and debate with them."
Roal, I actually have a strong opinion on this.
1) I honestly don`t think you could expect anything else from Muslims. They rape, kill, plunder, abuse, and tortore people forcing them to convert in the name of islam. So merely insulting is a very kind act from a muslim.
2) With the above statement said, you are going on their turf so they have the freedom to say what ever they like about any religion from their religious perspective. Personally I don`t respect muslims coming on this forum trying to convert Christians. Nor do I appreciate muslims coming here saying Christianty is wrong. I find that to be very disrespectful and insulting so I think we should treat others as we would like to be treated. I think muslim forums should be just for muslims, and Christian forums should be for Christians or those who are sincerely looking for answers in Christianity.
3) Jesus in His ministry never went into pagen temples and began teaching. He went to the Jewish temple because He was of the Jewish religion, and He walked about and spoke to the people that came to Him. He never forced Himself on anyone. I think we should follow that example. In daily life if we encounter a muslim and we become engaged in a conversation about God, I think it is a wonderful opportunity to share our faith, but I don`t think we should go into muslim places of worship or muslim gatherings or forums, because it is disrespectful, and it is not something we would want them to do to us.
4) I think if we play with fire, we can get burned. I think it is better to draw people to us rather than to go into the evil places of others. That is what Jesus did. Not everyone accepted what He said, but they were the ones that went to Him or invited Him to their homes to hear what He had to say. He did not just invite Himself in people`s homes and other religions` churches. I think this is a good example to follow. We need to draw people onto our turf or wait to be invited into someone`s home before we begin preaching to them.
Anyway, I like you spirit, energy, and eagerness to stand up for the Gospel of Christ, but I think we have to be wise and not cast pearls to the swine. They don`t want to hear the Gospel on a muslim site no more than we want to hear islamic propaganda on our site so I think it would be a waste of God`s time that He has allotted you.
