Ex-President Bush was convinced of it. Tony Blair too saw many \u2018similarities\u2019 between the two faiths and called the Koran a &#8216;progressive book&#8217;. But Mr Blair took the UK into the Iraq war on a lie, helped destroy that country along with public trust and unleashed Islamic State.<\/p>\n<p>The Koran is not &#8216;progressive&#8217;, it is a rant. As to alleged &#8216;similarities&#8217;, The Bible records God saying of Jesus: &#8216;This is my beloved Son, in him I am well pleased.&#8217; (See Matt 3:17 &amp; 17:5; Mark 9:7 and Luke 9:35) But the Koran reports Allah saying he has no son. It would be a beneath his dignity, he says, to become one of us. Orthodox Christian theology understands God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Koran denies the Trinity totally.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2019Religion of Peace\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Tony Blair was convinced &#8211; or tried to convince us &#8211; that Islam was a &#8216;religion of peace&#8217; and he and his namesake Ian, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner were at pains to stress that it was followers of a distorted form of Islam who carried out the 7\/7 London bombings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8509\" style=\"width: 218px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-600x825.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Cameron counting moderate Syrian rebels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now David Cameron is singing from the same glee-sheet. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/edwest\/100048857\/who-is-david-cameron-to-say-what-the-real-i%20slam-is\/\">He said of those critical of Islam<\/a>: &#8216;They see no difference between real Islam and the distorted version of the extremists. They think the values of Islam can never be compatible with the values of other religions, societies or cultures.&#8217; Politicians would be better &#8216;doing God&#8217; by turning to Christ, the King of kings, than taking a chance at Islamic theology.<\/p>\n<p>Rod Liddle said of the lightweight Cameron view: &#8216;Obviously the &#8220;Real Islam&#8221; isn&#8217;t people blowing themselves up, although a large proportion of Palestinians, Afghans and so on would argue that it is, as would one or two cadres sitting tight in their Keighley or Tipton bedsits. But ok, let&#8217;s give him that one. What about apostasy, then? The majority of Islamic states impose a penalty for giving up the religion, either through the state or sharia courts; imprisonment or death. Is this Real Islam or the &#8220;distorted version of the extremists&#8221;? It&#8217;s certainly the practice of the overwhelming majority of Islamic countries, and cleaved to by all four major schools of Islamic thought, even the comparatively liberal Hanafi.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Britain: \u2018picture is bleak\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2007\/may\/13\/comment.communities\">Cameron says rightly that the United Kingdom is less than admirable when viewed through an Islamic lens<\/a>: &#8216;Here the picture is bleak: family breakdown, drugs, crime and incivility are part of the normal experience of modern Britain . Many British Asians see a society that hardly inspires them to integrate. Indeed, they see aspects of modern Britain which are a threat to the values they hold dear &#8211; values which we should all hold dear. Asian families and communities are incredibly strong and cohesive, and have a sense of civic responsibility which puts the rest of us to shame.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>They do, but only in the Islamic sense of wanting Islam to replace Secularism, which in the UK they wrongly identify as a form of Christianity. Muslims are not lining up to campaign for an end to abortion or no-fault divorce or legalised sodomy. They will defend their children from immoral sex education but that is the limit of their social engagement. Most Muslims hold the brutal, crass, indecent, hedonistic nation that we have become in contempt, and who can blame them?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Whitechapel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1110 alignright\" title=\"Whitechapel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Whitechapel-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Whitechapel-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Whitechapel.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>With their population growing by immigration and fecundity &#8211; and the evidence does not support the fond notion that 2nd and 3rd generation Muslims will stop having the large families which their faith demands &#8211; their demands will grow more and more strident and politicians will grow ever more craven in the face of such a demographic bloc.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #0000ff; border-top: 9px solid #0000FF; border-bottom: 9px solid #0000FF; border-right: 18px solid #0000FF; border-left: 18px solid #0000FF; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petitions.net\/return_to_the_uks_christian_constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Return to the UK&#8217;s Christian Constitution \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Stand up for Jesus Christ!<\/h2>\n<p>My answer?
