God and Allah Are Not the Same
March 3, 2004
Australian pastor, Daniel Scot, a scholar in Islam who fled his native Pakistan 17 years ago amid threats of retribution for "blasphemy," said that his studying of the Bible and the Quran led him to the conclusion that the God of the Bible and Allah of the Quran were different in practice, behavior and other attributes, and has told a tribunal where he faces complaints of vilifying Islam the same. Pastor Scot has been appearing before an administrative tribunal in the state of Victoria, after Muslims brought a complaint against them under controversial new hate laws. Catch the Fire Ministries organized a seminar on Islam for Christians in March 2002, and Scot was the guest speaker. Three Muslim converts who attended the meeting at the request of the Islamic Council of Victoria said the seminar had incited fear of, and hatred for, Muslims. The truth is that Catch the Fire merely informed Christians about Islam and its teachings, as set out in the Quran and Hadith. If the judge upholds the complaint, he may order Scot and Nalliah to apologize, pay compensation or take other steps. The specific complaint faced by the two does not carry criminal penalties. This test case in Australia pits the freedom of speach, religion, and assembly against the new "hate crimes" law.
It is evident the the
New Tolerance is a real threat to the freedoms that have traditionally been paramount in the west.
