Survey on ISLAM

THE CHURCH OF GOD SEVENTH DAY, DENVER, HAS DONE A SURVEY ON ISLAM AND 9/11

Islam and 9/11: Survey Results

As Apart of our ten-year reflection on terrorist attacks in
America, we invited folks to report their own 9/11 experience and
to complete a survey of opinions on Islam (September-October BA,
p. 12). Here we offer our consensus statements of the results of
that survey. Online, you may review a statistical summary of the
survey results and read how the twenty-five respondents answered
our questions.

Cumulative responses to opinion survey on Islam, summarized:

We have a mostly negative view of Islamic faith, tending to
believe that Mohammed is the false prophet of Revelation 16. We
doubt that a majority of the world's Muslims either oppose
terrorism or prefer to live in harmony with people of other
faiths. We believe that Muslim expansionism is a serious threat
to world peace in our time.

We believe that America will experience an increase of permanent
Muslim residents similar to that already seen in Europe and that
this titanic clash of cultures (Islam vs. Christianity) gives us
legitimate reason to fear. Still, most of us agree that
Christians should befriend Muslims in our communities and that
Jesus' teaching to bless and pray for our enemies extends even to
those who would harm us.

We're willing to blame the Koran for the evil deeds of Islamic
extremists, but unable to see how some texts of our Bible (Old
Testament) have been used for violence against Islamic peoples,
the enemies of modern Israel. Muslim terrorists are just doing
what their religion teaches, we usually think, while violent
Christians throughout history must have misused the Scripture.

On the other hand, we're reluctant to say either that most
Muslims cheered the events of September 11, 2001, or that
Christians were right to celebrate the death of Osama Bin Laden.
While we express general support for our country's military
efforts against Islamic terrorists, still we feel there must be a
better solution than war to solve the looming problem.

To those who read and responded to our survey, thank you! For
