Islamists have been targeting both Muslims and non-Muslims with their terroristic ways:<\/p>\n

March 20, 2015<\/p>\n

Dozens of worshippers were killed Friday when two suicide attackers blew themselves up at a pair of mosques in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, witnesses and reports said Friday.<\/p>\n

The attacks took place around the time of midday prayers at the Badr and al-Hashoosh mosques, which are associated with the Houthi Shi’ite rebel group that controls Sana’a.\u00a0http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/sanaa-yemen-mosques-suicide-blasts\/2688142.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Reuters) – Suicide bombers in the Yemeni capital Sanaa blew themselves up during noon prayers at two mosques used mainly by Shi’ite Muslims on Friday, killing at least 50 people and wounding scores, medical sources said, in a major escalation of the worst wave of violence in the country in years.<\/p>\n

The attacks, in which four bombers wearing explosive belts targeted worshippers in and outside the crowded mosques, happened a day after an unidentified warplane attacked the presidential palace in the southern city of Aden.\u00a0http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2015\/03\/20\/us-yemen-attack-bomb-idUSKBN0MG11J20150320<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

TUNIS\u2014 The two extremist gunmen who killed 21 people at a museum in Tunis trained in neighboring Libya before carrying out the deadly attack, a top Tunisian security official said.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s attack at the National Bardo Museum killed 21 people – 17 of them cruise ship tourists – before the two gunmen were killed in a firefight with security forces. The attack of such magnitude in Tunisia – the only country to emerge from the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings with a functioning democracy – raised concerns about the spread of extremism to the rest of North Africa.<\/p>\n

Rafik Chelli, the Interior Ministry’s top security official, said the attackers had slipped out of Tunisia in December and received weapons training in Libya before returning home. He told the El Hiwar El Tounsi TV channel that authorities did not have further details about where or with which group they had trained.<\/p>\n

The Islamic State group based in Iraq and Syria has claimed responsibility for the Bardo attack. Several well-armed groups in Libya, which borders Tunisia, have pledged their allegiance to Islamic State. \u00a0http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/tunisian-official-gunmen-trained-in-libya\/2688123.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE I added the following at 11:05 PDT as it had additional information and showed a major change in the death toll–this actually was also added to the first article by VOA well after I posted it:<\/p>\n

March 20, 2015<\/p>\n

A group claiming to be a Yemeni branch of the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for suicide bombings in Sana\u2019a that killed at least 126 people at mosques used by supporters of Shi’ite rebels. http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/sanaa-yemen-mosques-suicide-blasts\/2688142.html<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Islamic State is also claiming it was behind the murders in Tunisia.<\/p>\n

Islamists apparently do not agree that Islam is a “religion of peace” as the last US President George Bush used to proclaim.<\/p>\n

Islamists generally want people to accept their brutality and ways or be killed.\u00a0 While Mohammed was militant, many of the Islamists have taken this beyond what even he did.<\/p>\n

The murders and techniques used by the Islamists are brutal and mean, and also tend to display a form of cowardice. The Apostle Paul<\/a> was inspired to warn:<\/p>\n

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Islamic terrorists claim to have a form of godliness, but do not believe in the God of the Bible.<\/p>\n

As far as being cowards goes, let’s consider the events in Yemen and Tunisia.<\/p>\n

In Yemen, two Islamists decide that they cannot face life with their religion, so they feel that if they kill themselves and others that this somehow gets God’s favor.\u00a0 This is a horrific act of cowardice.<\/p>\n

And in Tunisia?\u00a0 Murdering unarmed tourists who were trying to view some of the history of that nation is not brave.<\/p>\n

While they want to claim that they do this for their claimed version of God, they are truly doing this for Satan.<\/p>\n

Now, although Islamists tend to highly discount the Bible, they are supposed to believe the parts that allegedly were not corrupted by the Jews or Greco-Romans.\u00a0 They also consider that Jesus was a prophet.<\/p>\n

So, let’s look at a couple of statements from Jesus who said the time would come that:<\/p>\n

2…whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.\u00a0 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. (John 16:2-3)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Islamists who try to pretend that they are offer God a service through terrorism are deceiving themselves.\u00a0 Notice something else:<\/p>\n

52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God does not want His people taking up arms (see Do Real Christians Participate in Carnal Warfare or Encourage Violence?<\/a>).\u00a0 Islamist terrorists are not God’s people.<\/p>\n

The whose are they?\u00a0 Notice what Jesus also taught:<\/p>\n

44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. (John 8:44)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bible shows that, unless they repent, murderers, cowards, and liars face the same fate:<\/p>\n

8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Murdering people in the name of religion is opposed to true religion and needs to be repented of.<\/p>\n

Sadly, terrorist acts in this age are often encouraging others to do them as well.\u00a0 Yet, this too tends to trigger other actions.<\/p>\n

Because of the abominable acts by Islamic terrorists, more and more in the West and in many of the Islam-dominated countries are srtating to decide that a coalition of nations in North Africa and the Middle East is what is needed for ‘peace.’ Yet, according to the Bible, will not truly bring peace (Daniel 11:40-43), though it may well lead to a temporary peace (Daniel 9:27; see also The \u2018Peace Deal\u2019 of Daniel 9:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n

How an Islamic organization can engage in suicide bombing is not justifiable. The wounded and families of the victims are in my prayers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We all need to pray, as Jesus said, ‘Thy kingdom come’ (Matthew 6:10, KJV).<\/p>\n
