“It’s a Shame you are Jew, Why not convert to Islam?”

A recent news report sourced from the Jerusalem Post:  :  https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/life-gone-ex-hostage-couple-044237284.html describing the horrors captured Jews faced from Hamas. The full conversation below:

“You look like a good guy, it’s a shame you’re a Jew. Why not convert to Islam?”

“Why?” Cunio (the hostage) asked.

“Because if you convert to Islam, you won’t go to hell, you’ll go to paradise,” his captors answered.

“Ah,” Cunio said. “So, you think those Hamas members who came in and murdered and raped and slaughtered and burnt all the kibbutzim, they all went to paradise?”

“Yes,” the captor told Cunio. 

But this is not just about people who murdered and raped going to Heaven, but the very idea that just because one is Muslim(and Christians share the same view as well) that one gets Heaven and just because one is not, in this case, being Jewish, one gets hell – that is what the terrorist is saying by asking the hostage to convert! “God” cares for belief, religion alone & will divide people accordingly! Just as these terrorists did by targeting Jews! Just as the Nazis did by condemning ALL Jewish people to gas chambers!

Collective condemnation! Collective hate! And this is not just ALL Jews but includes ALL non-Muslims as well – the rest of humanity – ALL Hindus, Atheists, Buddhists & all others – families, women, children, even babies! Chilling, isn’t it?

And the last answer from the Captor is basically saying “God” does not care for morals, values, principles – one can rape, torture, mass murder and be rewarded with the good life. These “Gods” are basically Dictators like Putin who do not care for the morals of their supporters, but care only for their willingness to obey, to rape, torture and kill when ordered!

Collective reward – Heaven for ALL Muslims regardless of who they are – criminals, rapists, mass murderers!

I am sorry, but such views are not limited to terrorists like Hamas, but when conversions are pushed saying “Only our God can get you Heaven” they are implying that religion, belief alone matters, morals, values, principles do not matter.

Basically, these ideas are saying that Heaven is Segregated, Apartheid based on belief, religion. That the afterworld would be like Nazi Germany – people will be set apart by religion or the lack of it – we are talking families, women, children, babies! – and callously dumped into burning chambers in hell!

This IS the basis for conversions – how Christians and Muslims push conversions – using this carrot and stick method – the carrot of Heaven if you convert, and the stick of hell if you do not! We have also read articles by Christians and Muslims saying that they were told they will burn in hell if they leave their respective religions!

That’s all it takes? Just our religion defines us? Are we not more than just our religion, belief? Are we not human beings with dreams, aspirations who contribute to society? Are we not fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, friends with families of our own, raising them with love and affection? Are we not productive members of society, holding various jobs, leading nations? Are we not neighbors, co-workers, friends & even family of those who listen to this hate and turn a blind eye? Do we not cry, feel the emotional loss of our loved ones, and then to be told that they are now burning in Hell? What kind of a person says that?

And yet these ideas are saying none of that matters, for their “God”, just like Hitler, religion alone matters! 

What other hate views reduce a person to just one aspect of who he or she is? Racism comes to mind and of course Antisemitism. Sexism, Caste, Ageism – all these reduce a human being to just one aspect of their personality. All a Racist sees is skin color, he does not see a human being. To the Nazis and let’s face it 2,000 years of hate was not just Nazis, plenty of other people were involved and continue to be involved, only religion mattered, being a Jew was a crime to be punishable by death in gas chambers.

These religions are echoing the same horrific sentiments – to not be one of them is a crime – to be a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist, an Atheist – is a crime and we are to be led to burning chambers in Hell! In fact, all over the world, thousands of people die every day – most of them are unbelievers and so holocaust fires are burning 24/7 in the afterworld!

And to me the crazy thing is that these religious ideas are OPENLY PROMOTED! Used to push conversions! If ALL Good people are with God, then religion would not matter, Actions, WORKS matter, whether we are with God or not will depend on the INDIVIDUAL, not the collective and so, “Good WORKS or God’s Work (my addition) will not get you into Heaven” – using religion as a criterion, pushing division and hate based on religion. And these are the top two religions of the 21st century! I keep asking where are the educated? the media? the philosophers? the moral? Where is the pushback?

I have been writing about this for some time, trying to bring these horrors to light, but keep finding censors everywhere! The media is dominated by Christians and Muslims, who do not want to hear the above views, it puts their religions in a bad light, hence the censorship. Have they effectively silenced us all?
