Inter-Faith Nonsense

     Occasionally one hears talk about "Interfaith dialogue." There was a time when, in the U.S. and Europe, this meant "dialogue" between Christians and Jews and among the various Christian denominations.
     Nowadays it means talks between Christians and Muslims after something has happened that hurts or angers the Muslims. And the dialogue usually consists of Christian "leaders" apologizing to Muslims because, let's face it, Christians are just a bunch of jerks. Everybody knows that Christians are jerks because Christian "leaders" say they are. It's really surprising that said Christian "leaders" don't resign their positions of leadership or leave the faith because Christians and Christianity are just so jerky. Who, in their right mind, would want to be associated with that bunch or louts?
     Well, here's the deal. Those "leaders" who engage in dialogue with Muslims are either foolish or dishonest or not even Christian. In talking to Muslims about religion there is absolutely no common ground between Christians and Muslims. It would be like having an inter-faith "dialogue" with Pagans, Hindus or Buddhists. There is no shared faith. None at all. To try to have an interfaith dialogue with Muslims is like trying to alloy iron with aluminum. It just doesn't work.
     What "interfaith dialogue" really means is that a group of politically and theologically Christians (and some of them are barely Christian, others not at all -- they're in the thing because it's a good paying gig demanding not much work) are willing to become Dhimmis to the Muslims. They tug at the forelock while seeking the approval of the very people their fathers and grandfathers considered benighted heathens. If this bunch of yokels had been around during World War II there would now be a Shinto shrine or two on every corner on the West coast and the Lutheran churches on the East coast would be flying a broken cross from their steeples instead of proper crosses.
     This crowd is looking for the strong horse and they think that Islam is the strong horse. They will abandon their faith in the physical Resurrection of Christ and the Salvation that he give in order ot please a bunch of savages who really worship a brick built cube in Mecca that was once a pagan shrine.
     If you are a Christian who has to apologize for you faith or you deny that faith in Christ is the true faith, perhaps you'd better look somewhere else for a religion.
     Christianity is true. It is the only true religion. Anything else is a fake. To even talk to a Muslim about his religion as being anywhere near equal to Christianity is to insult Our Lord and Our God.
