Dear Sisters

This will be a long post, but I feel it necessary to tell everything that happened and what I learned.

First I will describe the location so you will understand.

This church is very large and well organized (almost 5,000 members and some are very rich. One member donated 1.5 million to their building fund. The church grounds cover 2 city blocks. They have a day care center, school from pre-school through 8th grade, a theatre for plays and social functions, a library, gym, large computer lab, 100 member choir (singers) and an orchestra (musical instruments). this church has 4 services on Sunday to accommodate the number of people going to their services. There is a very large grassy lawn between the church service building and the church school. It was here that the missionaries were located. Tables were set up in a huge U shape. Women were dressed as Muslims and native dress of the women of India. Many additional tables
had native foods from Arab countries and India. There were tons of books and phamplets available for people to take to read. Also there were posters with pictures of Muslims and Christians and many showing Muslim women ! taking off the hijab to go into water to be "baptized" as a "new Christian". Pictures also showed young Muslim girls and boys singing
with Christians and some were learning musical instruments. (I felt like I was walking at the outer edges of the devils playground!)

I did not go into the church for the service because the missionaries were all outdoors answering questions of several hundred people at this gathering. I went to the first table where there were large plastic bags available to place the many materials available from the different missionary groups. Without saying anything and my heart racing I walked
the entire U shape of tables, stuffing the bag with the phamplets, free books and disks. I just nodded and smiled ( my face felt frozen in this smile).

After I finished gathering materials, I began walking back the way I came and I stopped at each table. There I asked the following questions:

Q. What do you tell Muslims about the claim that Mohammed is a prophet?

A. He is a prophet that God sent to the people who worshiped idols. He was a great prophet in his time.

Q. What is the most frequently said thing that convinces Muslims to convert to Christianity?

A. It is not only what we say but what we do. We become their friends, help build roads, buildings, teach at their schools, bring food and medical supplies to the poor. Many of us are doctors and nurses and this gets us in the doorway with the government people. We love them and love them and love them. We learn their language, we print the bible in their language, we dress similar to them, we learn to cook
their foods. We read the Qur'an (transliteration) and their sunnah and hadith. We find similarities with the bible and Qur'an and this helps us gain their confidence. Once we have lived with them, help them, and they feel we are their friends, then we begin slowly talking about Jesus and God's Justice.

Almost all said they did this. First the church (s) totally funded
families to move to a Muslim country. The missionaries undergo as much as 6 months training. They learn all about the country, cultural, and problems the country has (need for schools, hospitals, roads, buildings, etc.) The children also learn with the parents. Once they have mastered the "planting skills" they are ready to travel to the country.

Q. Why has this church and others in southwest USA chosen the Muslims as the group to try and convert?

A. Muslims are in what we call the 10/40 location of the planet earth. Here there are at least 1 billion Muslims. Our goal over the next 5 years is to convert 702,000 Muslims to Christianity. Muslims are the largest group of unbelievers in Jesus and the trinity.

Q. Why do you think you will be successful?

A. The Muslims practice Islam differently in each country. They have allowed their cultural to make the differences. One advantage to us is the split between the Sunni and Shiia Muslim groups. Also they have no central leadership. Many Muslim countries are suspicious of each other and this makes it easy for us. (One man even said that its the old "divide and conquer" idea)

Another man told me that the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) had tried to combine the bible with the messages "God" gave him concerning idol worshippers and because he was uneducated, he failed to get the information correct concerning Jesus the Messiah.

A woman told me that her missionary group used the model that Paul (of biblical times) used for establishing churches which then resulted in the spread of Christianity. (going with a group of followers to a town or city, making friends with government officials, locating some wealthy individuals and converting them and then getting land free from the Muslims to build their churches. She said because the Muslims allow
freedom of religions in most of their countries, they (Muslims)in fact are very helpful in getting the land for the churches!!!! She told me how a missionary woman started an embroidery group with Muslim women in their homes where they made beautiful arabic patterns. There husbands and the Muslim leader was so impressed that the women were allowed to
go to the church and do this sewing. It was here that they had the opportunity to win several of the women to Jesus!

By this time I have worked my way about halfway back to where the first table is set up. A woman walks up to me and says, don't I know you? maybe from ASU? I answer honestly, I am never at ASU (the state university) The man with her is dressed as our brothers dress. He then says to me, Excuse me, are you with the missionaries here? I then say no. He then says are you Muslim? I say I am Muslim and my religion is Islam.

It seems that everyone there at first thought I was a Christian dressed up as a Muslim. Well when I responded that I was Muslim, immediately the news began to travel in this group. I actually saw them whisper this fact to each other. Within a few minutes, everyone was looking at me, when I caught their eye they pretended not to have been staring!!

I felt like two large hands with very long fingers were above me waiting to crush me. I wanted to run from this gathering, but Allah kept my feet planted in front of this table where a man asked me what sect of Islam I was from. He asked if I was a fundamentalist or from a smaller group. I said I am Muslim and my religion is Islam. He said he had many Muslim friends and they all had different schools or leaders
they followed and I must belong to a group. I said I am Muslim and my religion is Islam.

Then sisters I can hardly believe this even as I write it. I began questioning this man about Jesus the Messiah and the man became defensive responding that Jesus came from Abraham's line that God had to come in the form of Jesus so that our sins could be forgiven. I said Abraham had a son Ishmael his first born to a lawful wife. I said Jesus
was the son of Mary without a father. I said Allah will forgive our sins if we repent and ask forgiveness. I asked why God would need to come to earth and dia like a human in order to forgive us. He said because after we dia, then one day there will be judgement day and because we sin we can't get to heaven for judgement day with our sin, so Jesus died (God) who took our sin so we could get to heaven for Judgement day.

Well I answered, if Jesus-God took away all the sins, what was the need for judgement day? He just looked at me and then he said, well it is for the people who do not accept Jesus as their savior and the trinity. Well I said if good people can't get to heaven without Jesus then how will all these unbelievers in Jesus be judged on Judgement Day if they
have sin and therefore can't be allowed in the presence of God for their judgement? Sisters... these were not my words... It was like I was standing next to me watching me say these words.

The man said this is one of the "great mysteries" that we will
understand after we dia. I said that in Islam there is no mystery. That Allah has made it very clear what a person needs to do to go to heaven. That Allah is just and fair and would not make a mystery that would keep us from heaven.

Then the man said that it was like a judge here on earth where we must be punished when we do wrong that this is justice. He said that God demands justice and that we must be punished. for sins, unless we let Jesus take our sins. I said if Jesus is God as you say he is, where is justice in God punishing himself for my sins? Where do I learn anything
in this kind of thinking and how does this make me be responsible and fear God?

Sisters this man (and a very large crowd) just looked at me and they did not answer.

Then my feet moved me (I didn't seem to be in control of their movement) to a table where a woman dressed as a Muslim stood. She smiled at me kind of wavering with her eyes darting around, like she was looking for support. I couldn't believe what I said next.

I said Christian woman why do you mock me? She said mock you? I said, what if I were to put on a short dress, jewelry, make-up and high heels, hang a gold cross around my neck and hold a bible in my hands and tell you, my sister won't you become a Muslim? This is so hard to believe sisters... this woman took off the hijab and abeya and said she
was sorry.

Next my feet moved me to the very first table. A group of people seemed to be following my progress back to this starting table. Here my mouth opened and I asked why there was no table for the Jews. I asked if there Christian love did not extend to there Jewish brothers and sisters. I asked if they were not concerned that the Jews would go to the devils playground for disbelieving in Jesus. I said it was known world -wide that
most Jews regarded Jesus as a trouble maker, did not believe he was even a prophet and worst of all did not believe in the virgin birth and in fact had maligned the name of Mary!

This man sputtered that they indeed had missionaries for the Jewish people. I then said do you deny that Christians and our government give total support for the Jewish religion, money, aid, political power etc. when in fact the Jews believe only they are chosen by God and they "killed God-Jesus" according to the bible! Why would Christians and government support this people and turn their backs on Muslims who
believe in the Virgin birth and revere Jesus as a great prophet to the Jewish people?

A man in the crowd said we have missionaries for the Jewish people, but our churches decided that the Muslims are more in need because there are so many Muslims. I said praise Allah for so many Muslims! The man dressed as a brother dresses approached me a second time. He asked if I
would like to meet with some people and talk about Islam and Christianity some more. I said no thank-you, but I then asked him if he would like to meet with some brothers to discuss Islam, but he would have to stop dressing like a Muslim as Muslims did not accept deceit. This young man turned and walked away from me.

At this time I felt like I was in control of my feet again. I took a great breath and walked quickly towards the parking lot to my car. When I got inside I was shaking inside and outside like a leaf in a wind storm. I drove home (I was so shaken, I ran a red light). When I got there my dear husband was very upset. It seems I was gone for over 4 hours!!!!! As I have been so sick I told him I would not go. He thought I had gone to the masjid. I feel badly for this lie to him but I know
he would not have let me leave the house if he knew I was going to this church. He and my family decided not to go to church this Sunday as they felt the church program was disrespectful to me.

I felt very weak and tired and after a short rest I typed the note to all of you and then I immediately fell into a deep sleep. I awoke this morning for prayer and was completely rested!

Oh I completely forgot to tell you that the young teenagers in this church and college students have formed an organization to be missionaries to Muslims who attend schools and universities here in Tempe Arizona. They offer tutoring with English and other subjects. This way they make friends, invite them to their homes and try to slowly convert them. They have been successful and the new converts go home and wait for missionaries to arrive. They then introduce them to
Muslim leaders and people in towns and villages. Also there is a group of businessmen who own apartments. They give special rates to Muslims. They provide study rooms.... and guess what. there are Christian students studying there and making friends with the Muslim young main. Even young women are introduced and this gets our Muslim young main
accustomed to meeting with young women and listening to music!

My heart and head want to scream aloud O Muslim brothers and sisters wake-up!!!!!! See how our kindness and friendships have been abused!!!! I am praying feverently to Allah to open the eyes of all Muslims to unite us and protect one another and our children!!!!!!

I will close this post dear sisters and many thanks for your help and dua. I could not have done this with out my sisters and Allah. I will be sending a second post which will have the names and other information about theses missionary groups.

Please don't be too hard on me for my poor answers to these
missionaries. Allah knows my intentions and I used what knowledge I had and Allah's help.

Your sister in Islam

Widad
