This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Dr. Peter Hammond, a Christian missionary who is the Founder of Frontline Fellowship and Louis Lionheart, a Christian preacher who is the Founder of TruthDefenders.com.
The two guests discussed Is it “Christian” for Christians to Defend Themselves from Islamic Jihad?, focusing on what the New Testament really says about the ethical nature of Christian self-defense [Starts at the 12:40 mark].
The discussion occurred within the context of the subject Does God Love All People?, in which the two guests unveiled Judeo-Christian scriptures that delegitimize several commonly-held mythical notions about the Creator in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The two guests also focused on Is There a Reward in Heaven for Christian Martyrs?, Should Christians Who Renounce Christ Under Threat of Death Be Judged by Fellow Christians?, and much, much more.
Don’t miss it!
And make sure to watch the special Glazov Gang episode with Dr. Hammond, in which he discussed Islam’s Hatred of Dogs and Cruelty to Animals, examining the Islamic theological foundations that inspire a hatred of and sadism toward animals: CLICK HERE.

Summary: Two self described leftists discuss how politically correctness. In the last two years, Social Justice has become what they describe as the official religion at universities. The most sacred thing is the victim from a “marginalized group” and any deviation is treated as blasphemy. Recently, campuses have added muslim to the list of “marginalized groups”. The idea has developed that if you say something that offends someone, they will be traumatized and damaged and become victims. The conservatives are bad and everyone is onboard on fighting conservatives. If you graduated from a university before 2913, you don’t really know what’s going on. Also, how the speakers consider Hillary is going to be terrible for freedom of speech but they still plan to vote for her.
Hope says
You are correct, nacazo. And social justice is not only the religion of colleges and universities, it has replaced Christianity as the official religion of some mainstream Protestant denominations. Attend a service at your local United Church of Christ (UCC) any Sunday morning and you will hear the “social gospel” being preached openly by the unabashedly Marxist minister. Count how many times you hear “social justice,” “marginalized,” “justice,” “refugees” and other leftwing buzzwords during the sermon. Notice when the minister prays for the people of Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan, with nary a mention of the Israelis who live every day in danger of being blown off the map (because the UCC supports the anti-Israeli BDS movement).
Spot On says
“Is it “Christian” for Christians to Defend Themselves From Jihad?”
What kind of nonsense is this! Self defense is total Christian. Jesus once said as in Luke 17:2 “…It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Jihadists cause little children to “stumble” all day long and they enjoy doing it too. They are perps of the worst kind. The same was quoted from Jesus in Matthew 18:6 and Mark 9:42.
Anyone with a half a brain or any common sense, which is getting rare these days) knows that a “heavy millstone” (Matthew 18:6) tied around a persons neck and if that person then is dropped into the sea, would make it impossible for that person to swim and thereby quickly killing the perp.
In other words, Jesus instructed Christians to kill a perp.
Shane says
Of course, Christians are allowed to defend themselves. Turning the other cheek does not apply when a Muslim holy warrior is trying to cut your head off. We can beat the Islamic jihad by changing our insane immigration and refugee programs which are bringing in over 100,000 Muslims every year. Crack down on radical Mosques, declare war on ISIS, Al Qaeda and other Muslim terrorist groups. Keep the filth out of our country and deport the Muslim troublemakers.
H says
Very interesting discussion. I agreed with Dr. Hammond’s points about the verses of buying a sword and so on. I’ve noticed though, when Jesus discussed the end times and addressed the church in Revelation, He doesn’t encourage fighting in that case. He warns them of persecution to death and encourages them/us to stay strong in faith. The Catholic Church has chosen a completely passive stance against islam. I would prefer to give up on the middle east, shore up our borders, and drive islam out of the US, Israel, and perhaps europe if they actually cared about themselves.
Christianblood says
The Christian doctrine of Turning the other cheek is a principal that is applicable only IN a conflict between two persons etc. This principal does not apply when you are faced with an evil and deadly, impersonal ideology that is actively seeking the complete annihilation of your self, your family, your faith and your way of life. Jesus Himself, gave the permission to use the sword and fight back against evil when He said: “…But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along… and whoever has no SWORD let him sell his coat and buy ONE…) St. Lukos 22:36).
The Holy Bible also tells us hat There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. The Holy Bible says that: “…There is a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time for WAR and a time for peace, a time to love and a time to HATE, a time to heal and a time to KILL…” (Eccl 3).
Jude says
Amen….
Champ says
Jesus’ apostles carried swords …
When Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, you may recall that Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of a Roman guard. Jesus rebuked Peter, and then miraculously healed the man’s ear. This event is recorded in the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Point being: Jesus did not object to his apostles carrying swords for self-defense purposes–whether man or beast.
Christianblood says
Good point! Well-said.
Shane says
It’s too late for Europe; they are overrun with jihadis and there are thousands of No-go zones for infidels. We should stop all immigration from Muslim countries and cut back on taking Muslim refugees. No Democrat President will change our insane immigration policies, so we must back the GOP presidential candidate in November!

Great Discussion Jamie! Much needed ! May God The Holy Spirit , The Third Person of The Holy Trinity continue to Fill these men, and continue their Boldness and Courage as they Proclaim The Risen Lord Jesus Christ to Fallen Humanity , Particularly Muslims ! P.S. The Judaeo Christian God is Ahkbar !!
Dan Jones says
Actually it isn’t because if it was do you not think the Apostles who followed Jesus daily would have known this? Not one of them took up arms against Rome, and all but one (John) was martyred… People who say Christians are to buy guns and fight the government do not know what the principles of the Kingdom of God are…

Undaunted says
The “native people’s” who were so abused and persecuted were not the ones depicted in what I’m sure is one of your most favoritest movies, Dances Wi’ Wolves. Many of the tribes were cannibals, constantly warring among themselves; they slaughtered more of the buffalo than did the white man and ran themselves into destitution all by themselves. And, no, no white man ever gave any tribe infected blankets in order to spread disease, though many Indians did indeed die from disease and pestilence; that had more to do with tribal “diagnosis” and “treatment” methods than anything else.
Indians who had the sense to see that times were changing got along fine with the whites. This is not to say that those who resisted were wrong, but there is an argument that they brought it on themselves. No man of any race has the eternal right to every square inch of ground he and his kin have traveled just because that’s what they want, what they think is fair. That’s the same argument Muslims use: “We were here once so we own it forever and will now kill you to cleanse our eternal homeland because you’re not good enough to be here.”
White men certainly were unkind to some Indians in some few instances. But the Indians themselves were at least as brutal to their feathered brothers as were a few white men, and for a much longer time.
You need to get your head on right, Randy.
gravenimage says
Undaunted, I don’t believe “Randy” cares about Native Americans at all.
His purpose here is to instill Christians and other Americans with an unearned sense of guilt so that they will do nothing to defend against JIhad.
خَليفة says
Let’s put ANY non-Islamic religion aside – do atheists have a right to defend themselves? Is there ANYTHING in the atheist belief system which would prevent them from defending themselves, even to to point of killing ANYONE and everyone who would threaten the atheists’ way of life? NO.
Athiests are ideologically able to defend themself and kill anyone who would threaten them.
The USA is a secular country ( based on judeo christen values ) and as a secular society has every right to defend itself from any and all threats. It is true that US military is composed of various religious individuals, but when joining you make an oath to defend the “secular” government. THe US military has a conscientious objector exemptions which allows one to serve in a non killing capacity ( like a doctor or clergy where you are never required to Use a weapon ), or be exempt from service. Those who join are obligated to defend the secular constitution. Don’t join if your morals are opposed to the secular state.
Islam tries to use our rules against us – they try to make out that the USA is a crusader country even though the crusades were long over long before the USA was formed. Islam tries to label us as Christians, even though there are many degrees of Christians and many denominations of Christians – Islam presents false arguments and fallacies to attempt to make us complacent. Islam is evil.
We Christians are allowed to defend ourselves and our country. Any moral dilemma we face as individuals is between us and our God. God understands our motivations, and God has he last say on any judgement on us. God would never diminish his value of anyone for defending his family.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
The US has proven its Christian values extend long after winning a war. After WWII the US worked to rebuilt Japan’s industrial works – by the 1980s Japan’s steel works were superior to those in the US. In the 50’s Japanese technology was not taken seriously, but by the 60’s Japanese electronics rivaled the best American made products. This shows the true nature of American values at work in the real world.
gravenimage says
Yes–Americans Christian, Atheist, or otherwise have every right to defend against JIhad aggression.
But given the primacy of “political correctness”, fewer and fewer have the will to do so.
gabi says
The crusades begun AFTER the muslims invaded, conquered, killed and enslaved Christians, Jews and idolater people from Christian territories of weakened Byzantine Empire. Jesus said: “Those who use the sword will die by the sword”.
St. Constantine the Philosopher admits the necessity of self-defense against those who try to harm your Christian brothers and said in a dispute with muslims that turning the other cheek is a command only for Christians between them, not for the others if others try to harm you repeatedly. First they must be reproved, second time they have to be reproved harder, but third time and if the non-Christians insist in their crime against other Christians, then you, a Christian, must defend and protect your brother.
gabi says
I quote from St. Constantine in dispute with Muslims in Samarra: “…we [Christians] defend each other so you [Muslims] will not subject their bodies and souls, forcing them to evil deeds and inimical to God”. See Life of St. Cyril / Constantine the Philosopher.

Read His BOOK!!!!!
Slavery, Terrorism and Islam by Peter Hammond!!!!
I have all of Andrew Bostom’s Legacy books including his Muftis Islamic Jew Hatred which I already read in “A Salient Example of Hajj Amin el-Husseini’s Canonical Islamic Jew-Hatred–Introduction, Text and Commentary”. In a word: Ass Kicking. (Like a dummy I ordered the book last week without realizing I already had it. Duh.)
However Hammond’s is usually my “go-to” book when it comes to things like slaver, the Crusades and a quick not on the Koran. You will kick yourself for not have gotten this book earlier. It is a great little resource packed into 260 easy to read pages. Read his Holocaust in Rwanda booklet as well.
One of the reasons I keep getting articles and books confused:
Elimination of the Jewish National Home in Palestine: The Einsatzkommando of the Panzer Army Africa, 1942 by Klaus-Michael Mallmann, Martin Cüppers.

Is it “Christian” for Christians to Defend Themselves From Jihad? — on The Glazov Gang
…………………………
This is a *very* important question.
Muslims–including Muslim trolls here like Rezali Mehil–often try to convince Christians that they are not acting in a Christian manner if they do *anything* to resist Jihad–even if it is just to verbally protest.
Of course, this is utterly false–Christianity is not a suicide pact.
But pious Muslims have a vested interest in trying to convince us that it is.
gabi says
Good point! Muslim said to us: why do you defend, why don’t you turn the cheek? God didn’t want us to let our bodies and souls be killed by some satanic jihadists! Obeying to satan is killing your soul! So where is the piousness of the muslims, if they want us to be dead?
gravenimage says
Yes, gabi–Muslims are constantly trying to convince Christians that they must roll over for any Muslim savagery–and that they are not real Christians if they do not do so.
For supremacist Muslims bent on conquest, this is, needless to say, entirely self-serving.
Roha Waha says
Palms 144.1 Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
John 2:22 Who is a Liar ? but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ ! He is the Anti-Christ that denieth the Father and the Son.
This settles the entire Question of Islam

Roha, given your name, I wonder if you are an Arab Christian or an apostate from Islam? Welcome, in any case!
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “DOES GOD LOVE ALL PEOPLE?”
NOT IF HE’S CALLED “ALLAH,” HE DOESN’T!
“HATE” IN THE QUR’AN:
Islam is the religion of hate. For Muslims, to hate is pious. It is called al bara (hatred for the sake of Allah).
http://quranicverse99.tripod.com/islamicways/id15.html
Al bara is the ultimate expression of faith. Muslims prove their love for Allah (al wala’) by hating the non-Muslims.
Islam divides mankind between Muslims and kafirs – aka “The DIRT” – a derogatory term that means denier of truth, blasphemer – and instills the hatred of the unbelievers in the believers.
We can never have peace when a fifth of mankind adheres to an ideology of hate and worships a psychopath who said non-Muslims are:
najis (filthy) (9:28),
don’t befriend them (9:23),
let them find harshness in you (9:123),
instill terror in their hearts (8:12),
slay them wherever you find them (9:5),
and their property and women are made halal to you, enjoy them, they are lawful and good (8:69).”
Some of ALLAH’S HATE-FILLED VERSES:
Koran 40:35 “They who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
Koran 28:86 “Do not support the kafireen in any way.”
Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.”
Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are violent to the unbelievers, but compassionate to one another.”
Koran 8:60 “Terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy”
Koran 60:4 “We have rejected you, and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.”
Koran 3: 118 “O you who believe! Do not take into your intimacy those outside your ranks. They will not fail to corrupt you.
-from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624).
“The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
-from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”
“… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”
-from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.):
“The implication of al-Baraa is that one hates for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to hate them and exterminate them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to hate the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should hate them and (at least desire to) kill them when the time comes.”
(Note: A Muslim is to hate the infidels so that he will be motivated to kill them at a later time, thus carrying out Allah’s justice.)

From Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
Allah places Love of the Righteous People in the Hearts
Allah, the Exalted, informs about His believing servants, who work righteous deeds — deeds that He is pleased with because they are in accordance with the legislation of Muhammad — that He plants love for them in the hearts of His righteous servants. This is something that is absolutely necessary and there is no avoiding it. This has been reported in authentic Hadiths of the Messenger of Allah in various different ways. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said,
(Verily, whenever Allah loves a servant of His, He calls Jibril and says, “O Jibril, verily I love so-and-so, so love him.” Thus, Jibril will love him. Then, he (Jibril) will call out to the dwellers of the heavens, “Verily, Allah loves so-and-so, so you too must love him.” Then the dwellers of the heavens love him and he will be given acceptance in the earth. Whenever Allah hates a servant of His, He calls Jibril and says, “O Jibril, verily I hate so-and-so, so hate him.” Thus, Jibril will hate him. Then, he (Jibril) will call out amongst the dwellers of the heavens, “Verily, Allah hates so-and-so, so you too must hate him.” Then the dwellers of the heavens hate him and hatred for him will be placed in the earth.) Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported narrations similar to this. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said,
(Whenever Allah loves a servant of His, He calls Jibril (saying), “Verily, I love so-and-so, so love him.” Then, Jibril calls out into the heavens and love for him descends among the people of the earth. That is the meaning of the statement of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: (Verily, those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Gracious will bestow love for them.)) ?19:96? This was also reported by Muslim and At-Tirmidhi and At-Tirmidhi said, “Hasan Sahih.”
So even our emotions are all subjectively forced by allah, and have nothing to do with our being able to choose to make rational, objective, free-will assessments of morality.
So much for free-will choice in islam LOL!
