This post was in my feed this morning. The second of what I deem to be pro Islam propaganda. After all the attacks, including the stabbings that just occurred in London. And this was the caption:

Saudi Arabia 500+ 500+ connections
Our shirts were manufactured for the upcoming Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention in Chicago, 28 June to 3 July! There will be two quality shirts sold at the ISNA convention. Meet us there at the Rosemont Convention Center (Lobby Booth #1!) to buy MVPR shirts at greatly discounted prices! (The second shirt promotes Middle East peace. It displays the word "peace" in Hebrew, Arabic and English.) A big thanks to graphics artist Abdul Rahman ALJamali for designing these shirts! Also, a big thanks to Isa Alhaj Hussein for organizing the production of these two shirts. We will also be selling Safi Kaskas' beautiful interfaith Qurans at discounted prices.
Frankly, I was taken aback at the slogan on these shirts! What in the world does Jesus have to do with leading Christians to Islam??? It did not ring true in my gut. And what is an "Interfaith Quran" So I posted some of my thoughts...
I have a great deal many connections on LinkedIn, almost to now what Bill Gates decided to limit us at which is 5,000 connections. Funny Bill only allows us a 5,000 person reach huh?
This was the second of what I deem to be pro Islam propaganda post and after all the attacks, including the stabbings that just occurred in London.

Why is this in my feed? And your shirts are nonsense! There is nothing about Jesus that leads to Islam, in fact quite the opposite. Profiting off these shirts is satanic if not treasonous. But it's your soul not mine.

Samuel Shropshire
I thought Trump now loves Saudi Arabia and Muslims. But I see you are one of his supporters. You do not agree with him?
SO I SAID:

This is obviously not about Trump, it's about your shirt baiting Mellennials who are sketchy on Christianity into converting to Islam.
I'm not an expert on geopolitical issues nor am I an expert on the Quran but the slogan on those shirts ring of deception. Try putting a post out here and ask how many Christians love Jesus so much, they converted to Islam! Many are too fearful to speak out, as I have been privately told here many times. And to be clear, I love everyone and have no issues with any culture or Creed of any walk of life. Unfortunately, what I've seen of Islam that just is not so. I do wish you a beautiful day and wish you no I'll will or disrespect. This is your business and you have every right to sell your T-shirts. It would be interesting to see you post this question here on LI. You'll either get a tidal wave of response or none at all. Too many fearful of loosing their jobs.
Thanks for the debate good Sir.
THEN ADDED:

Rodger Mason
Also, how would it fly to wear a t-shirt that's says "My love for Allah is so deep...I converted to Christianity" I don't think that would end well for the person wearing that shirt. Especially in say...Dearborn, MI???
THEN HE SAID:
Rodger, would you be willing to have lunch with our peacemaker team when we drive through Nashville in a couple of weeks? We will be speaking in Christian churches and Jewish synagogues in the South.
AND I SAID:

Rodger Mason
As long as you don't mind the entire thing being documented. I'd be happy to.
I will film and record it all for future debate and learning.
AND SAMUAL SAID:
chirp chirp chirp... No response as of this post.
Then others started to chime in and here are some very interesting remarks here.

Of course the convention is centered in Chicago, the evil empire itself. shirts look like propaganda to ease our troubled minds so we open up our arms and borders to let the enemy slip past our guard. MAKE NO MISTAKE! Islam preaches DEATH to infidels and non believers. When did Jesus have anything to do with Islam? Sounds/looks like an updated version of "Tokyo Rose" or "Axis Sally".

Thank you Samuel, however this sounds like something "Jim Jones"would have told his followers right before they handed out red SOLO cups of KOOLAID. Spend the money that they are giving you for your convincing charm wisely, they are using you sir and in the end, your head will be no safer than the rest of ours.

Kevin, the hair on the back of my neck raised when I first read this post. While the message seems disarming, and all "we are the world" I believe this man is precise, cunning, and a pro at muddying up the water so as to the casual passerby would not see his intent. Samuel your attempt at passing the Muslim faith off as loving, and all inclusive entity is not going to work here among us who have studied our adversaries, KNOW what the Quran teaches. and what true believers of the Muslim faith have in store for "non believers."Samuel, If you are the true Muslim voice then you know what your true mission is and that isn't the message you typed above now is it? Samuel won't get mad, he won't lose his decorum, instead he will attempt to feed us spoonfuls of Muslim "peace and good will" which will be gobbled up quickly by the resident libtards, globalists, and Muslim sympathizers. It won't be accepted by American patriots that understand the true intent of this movement, this Samuel, and willing to make any sacrifice necessary to protect our great country and OUR way of life.

Then I also had a few private messages that I need to keep the sources confidential, but the most intriguing one is this:
From Undisclosed:
Yeah and that guy seems very smooth and slippery. He's a paid pro and to me seems potentially dangerous. I would rather my enemy come at me straight forward as my enemy. I can't believe how many blind following sheep we have in this country and they are helping the enemy lead us to the slaughter. You'll always be able to count on me to have your back. It's easy to tell by reading his profile Prior experience and see that the Muslim powers that be saw his experience and are probably paying him a crazy amount of money to spearhead this softer friendlier behind the back tactic. I say we call these assholes out for what they are very damn time they pop up. Like a whack-a-mole. Lol. Have a good weekend brother.
STOP:_____________________________________________________
I noticed he was a member of the city council for the city of Annapolis, which I found quite interesting especially with MD leaning on being a sanctuary city.
So my point is, would a Christian survive walking the streets of Dearborne MI or any "sanctuary city" of place with a heavy Muslim populating with a T-Shirt that read "MY GREAT LOVE FOR ALLAH LED ME TO CHRISTIANITY"
And by the way, I'm already having them printed up so... lol
I think this shirt will be the mother of all triggers for the left, Democrats and moderate oh so tolerant Muslims... and here's a photo of one...ORDER NOW WITH STEEM!
And for anyone wanting to see what the Quran says about lying to unbelievers, check this out:
Deception, Lying
and Taqiyya
Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences."
There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
Quran
Quran (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
Quran (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves" against danger, meaning that there are times when a Muslim should appear friendly to non-Muslims, even though they should not feel that way..
Quran (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway. (The next verse refers only to those who have a personal agreement with Muhammad as individuals - see Ibn Kathir (vol 4, p 49)
Quran (40:28) - A man is introduced as a believer, but one who had to "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.
Quran (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts"
Quran (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means 'deceit'. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)
Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be "compelled" to deceive others for a greater purpose.
