Shalom All:

In 325 AD Constantine married the "church".

Bloody Inquisitions and financial power control is not uncommon in the "church".

622 AD Islam came into being.  It was a collection of  Torah/Tanah, writings of the Apostles/Witnesses, and demonic teachings so it becomes a very useful tool for YHVH's enemy ... poison with truth in it.  It's standard is green with a symbol that John described in the Revelation 13:16-18 of crossed swords and "in the name of Allah".

"In Islam, race plays no role," the young man says joyously. His enthusiasm is understandable. After all, in his home state of Chiapas, Mexico's poorest, the indigenous people are viewed as second class humans, and whites and Mestizos treat the Indian majority as if they weren't there.

The battle for the souls of Chiapas is nothing new. In the 16th century, the Spanish conquistadors used brute force to convert the Indians to Catholicism. Half a millennium later, evangelical preachers from the US have turned Latin America into a religious battleground in their efforts to lure Catholics away from the Church.

"In Islam, the Indians rediscover their original values," claims Esteban Lopez, the Spanish secretary general of the Muslim community. "The Christians destroyed their culture." He presents the use and abuse of alcohol as proof. Alcoholism is wide-spread under Tzotzil Indians and the strict ban on spirits in Islam helps many to break the vicious circle of addiction and poverty.

Anastasio Gomez -- aka Ibrahim -- for example, has managed to convert his entire family. He is especially proud of the conversion of his 100-year-old grandfather who was member of a Christian sect. "He was wandering from religion to religion all his live. Now he has found his peace of mind with Allah," says Ibrahim.

"Christianity" talking the talk but not walking the walk is a plague on the land!  And it has prepared the ground for the enemy!!
