Fliers at Pa. church take aim at Islam (Jesus Christ, ritual)

[dbakerman76]

This story was in my local paper this morning. I was quite upset that a church in a neighboring town would do this especially with the growing number of Muslims coming into our area.

Milford, Pa. — Islam is a "clear and present danger," according to the pamphlet in the foyer of the Milford Bible Church.
"Christians are in danger from the spread of the doctrines of Islam," reads the first sentence of the flier.
The words are not meant as an attack against Muslims, according to the parishioner who brought in the fliers. They are only a defense against Islamic teachings, she says.
"It's really all about us being aware of the danger spiritually, not physically," Norma Drake said at the church yesterday. "It's just presenting Christ as superior to Mohammed, which is what we, as Christians, believe."
The pamphlet is published by the Personal Freedom Outreach, a nonprofit group with offices in Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The group lists three goals on its Web site: to educate Christians about the dangers and heretical doctrines of religious cults, to use the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach members of those cults and to warn Christians of unbiblical teachings within the church itself.

There is also a link to the actual flyer so you can read it for yourself.

LOL I just love people who've probably never been outside their own community and know so little about the world to fall for such things.

I wonder what they say about UUs.

There is a local fundamentalist congregation that runs a bookstore as part of their ministry. Amongst all the titles on cults are selections on UUism.
Of course we shouldn't feel too special because they feel the same way about all the mainline Protestant denominations, The catholic church and pretty much anyone who has the slightest disagreement with their theology.
