Scary Marketing from Iran

The recent suicide bombings in Lebanon with one of the killers a woman who failed shows us just how different we Christians are from Muslims. Look at this video for kids to see for yourself how they are recruiting young killers.

Clip# 906, found at http://www.memritv.org/search.asp is a very effective
tool for recruiting Iranian children to become suicide bombers.

The following was written by Rev. Bob Vincent.

When I had our Muslim Imam give a lecture to my class last year, I had
planted a question with a student: "In Islam how can I know for sure that I
am going to heaven?"

The Imam's answer was: "You cannot know. But neither can you know this in
Christianity. No one can know if he has done enough good in order to know
that he is going to heaven."

The next day I pointed out to my high school seniors that both Muslims and
Christians can know that they are going to heaven. There is one infallible
way to know, according to the teachings of both faiths. In Christianity,
everyone who has turned from his sins and put his trust in the Lord Jesus
Christ can know that he is going to heaven. In Islam, everyone who dies in
battle, defending Islam is assured of heaven:

"When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if God had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of God,
He will not send their works astray. He will guide them, and dispose their minds aright, and He will admit them to Paradise, that He has made known to
them." (Koran XLVII:4-8)

"So let them fight in the way of God who sell the present life for the world to come; and whosoever fights in the way of God and is slain, or conquers, We shall bring him a mighty wage." (Koran IV:75)

"God has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of God; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon God in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfills his covenant truer than God?" (Koran IX:110)

"Surely the godfearing shall be in a station secure among gardens and fountains, robed in silk and brocade, set face to face. Even so; and We shall espouse them to wide-eyed houris,* therein calling for every fruit, secure." (Koran XLIV:52)

To retreat before the enemy in a Jihad, unless it was for tactical reasons, was an absolute guarantee of instantly going to a burning hell: "O believers, when you encounter the unbelievers marching to battle, turn not your backs to them. Whoso turns his back that day to them, unless
withdrawing to fight again or removing to join another host, he is laden with the burden of God's anger, and his refuge is Gehenna—an evil homecoming!" (Koran VIII:15)
