伊斯蘭教（Islam）是美國人均成長最快的宗教，尤其是在少數族裔中。
上個月我參加了一個培訓。在培訓期間，有三位分別代表羅馬天主教（Roman Catholicism）、基督教新教（Protestantism）和伊斯蘭教的演講者，他們各自闡述了自己的信仰。
我對伊斯蘭教「伊瑪目（Imam）」（注1）的發言特別感興趣。這位穆斯林（Muslim）演講精彩，講解了伊斯蘭教的基本教義，還播放了一段影片。
演講結束後，設有問答環節。輪到我時，我向這位穆斯林提問：
「如果我理解有誤，請指正。我了解到大多數伊斯蘭教的伊瑪目和神職人員均宣告要對地上的異教徒發動聖戰（holy war - Jihad (جهاد)）（注2），並通過殺死異教徒才能確保進入天堂。如果是這樣的話，你能告訴我異教徒的定義嗎？」
他沒有反駁我的話，毫不猶豫地回答「非信徒。」
我回應道「那麼，讓我確認一下。所有真主阿拉（Allah）的信徒都被命令殺死所有非信徒，這樣他們才能上天堂，是這樣嗎？」
他臉上的表情瞬間從威嚴和命令的神情，變成了像偷吃餅乾被抓的小男孩表情。
他羞怯地回答「是的。」
我接著說「先生，我實在難以想像教皇（Pope）會命令所有天主教徒殺死你們的信徒，或者斯坦利博士（Dr. Stanley）會命令所有新教徒（Protestants）（注3）去殺死不信的人來確保自己能上天堂！」
這位穆斯林啞口無言。
我繼續說「當你和你的教友命令你的信徒殺死我時，我很難再和你做朋友！讓我問你一個問題，你寧願選擇你的真主阿拉，他讓你殺了我才能上天堂；還是選擇我的耶穌（Jesus），他告訴我去愛你，因為我會上天堂，他希望你和我一起在那裡？」
當時全場鴉雀無聲。
不用說「多元化（diversification）」培訓研討會的組織者和發起者對我向伊斯蘭教伊瑪目發問的方式，以及我揭露穆斯林信仰真相的做法非常不滿。
然而二十年後，有可能建立足夠的穆斯林選民來選出美國總統。
因此我認為每一個美國人都應該閱讀這篇文章，可惜基於「美國公民自由聯盟（American Civil Liberties Union， ACLU）」（注4）的存在，這篇文章不可能被廣泛傳播。請多了解穆斯林的信仰真相，並廣傳來改變現狀。
注1：「伊瑪目（Imam）」是阿拉伯語（Arabic），有領袖的意思。伊瑪目與基督教的牧師職責相似，負責帶領信眾進行禮拜和教導。
注2：伊斯蘭教的穆斯林認為異教徒不相信真主阿拉，只有一個結果就是死，所以向異教徒發動聖戰（Jihad ）是所有穆斯林的義務，並且通過殺死異教徒來確保自己一定可以進入天堂。
注3：這是源於16世紀的宗教改革，新教徒（Protestant）是基督教（Christianity）的一個分支，該分支強調聖經為最終權威（唯獨聖經）和因信稱義（唯獨信心）。新教徒涵蓋的教派眾多，例如路德會（Lutheran）、浸信會（Baptist）和衛理公會（Methodist）等等，它與羅馬天主教（Roman Catholicism）和東正教（Orthodoxy）有所不同，其核心在於聖經的獨特地位、信徒皆祭司的原則以及持續不斷的教會改革。
注4：「美國公民自由聯盟（American Civil Liberties Union， ACLU）」是一個打着民主口號的左翼組織，不停打壓言論自由，尤其是關於性別取向、政治和宗教等等話題。
英文原文如下：
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races.
Last month I attended a training. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, " Nonbelievers"
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US. to elect the President.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
