[Spanish Pundit, a good friend and fellow blogger, has graciously acceded to grace these pages with a guest post. It is my fervent hope that we see more and more of her stuff on this blog. Here, she writes about an interview by an Islamic publication with a Lutheran Bishop in El Salvador.]

Lutheran Bishop says: Quran is the Word of God

Medardo Gómez, just another dangerous dhimmi: (my translation)

This Bishop was interviewd by for the Islamic Library Magazine. In the interview, he said that he was “promoting Life’s Theology”, in which “the Quran was the word of God”.

When he was asked “what do you think about the Quram?”, he answered: “Undoubtedly, the Quran is the word of God, God inspired his serfs and his prophets, inspiration which resulted in his word. There is no need to further discuss it, the Quran is the word of God, in it we can find Allah’s spirit and Muhammad’s and the spirit of the rest of the Prophets; if we want to find spirituality we must read the Quran”.

He was further asked: In the Western world there is the idea that Islamic teachings and Muslims are a danger, What do you think about this?”

I believe that it is one of the greatest injustices against victims of bad propaganda, today the MSM are very powerful and I believe the islamic world is not being truly portrayed, because only the negative elements are considered.

I don’t like it, but Christian churches are contributing to the negative atmosphere against Islam; regrettably we also have fundamentalists.

The truth is that islamic religion is based on God’s spirit and is a religion of peace and love, but that should be also taught; that’s why I consider as a very positive development the pressence of Muslims, both shia and sunni in the country.

The interview ended with an exhortation to the Islamic community:

I want to tell you that in El Salvador we need to fill the people with spirituality, we must spread the Islamic spirituality, because we need God’s movements and you are one of them”.

The good Bishop has either missed the whole point, if he even bothered to read the Quran, that Islam its sacred book regard the Bible as merely a falsification by Jews and Christians.

All the references to Christians, which are found in the said Quran merely serve to warn about the lies of Christians and how they should be repelled

In the same interview he stated that he opposed having Salvadorean troops in Lebanon and considered the situation of the Palestinian people as “oppressive” because the Palestinians are treated by Israel “like slaves.”

It ’s appalling when a religious leader will praise the very religion that denies the validity of his or her own religion… I don’t think further comment is needed: another Christian praising that same Islam that is calling them names and fully encourages the persecution of Christians throughout Islamic countries. Even in Turkey, converts to Christianity are criminally prosecuted for “insulting Turkishness”

Aside from the Bishop ignoring the Bible he professes to believe in, aside from his ignoring the anti-Christian sentiments profered in the Quran, he is also an anti-Israel activist completely oblivious of the Arab leaders culpability in the plight of Palestinians and the Middle East in general.

Bishop Medardo Gómez may be a man of the cloth but his stupidity, his self imposed blindness, is certainly not divinely inspired!

Digg it!

R-igg it!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write here. And for correcting what wasn’t well written in the post.

Bishop Medardo Gómez may be a man of the cloth but his stupidity, his self imposed blindness, is certainly not divinely inspired!

The problem that this poses to me is the bad consequences this can have for the rest of the people, who are guided by this “man of God” and who trust him as their guide to God.
