“John Nassivera is a former professor who retains affiliation with Columbia University’s Society of Fellows in the Humanities.” Here he argues that a blend of Christianity and Islam could be the key to world peace, and apparently for Nassivera this blend requires Christians to give up the idea of the divinity of Christ, which he claims in the section of his article not reproduced below that many early Christians didn’t believe, and that many Christians don’t believe today. That may be true in Nassivera’s circle of acquaintances but he would likely be surprised were he to float this claim in Greece, or Nigeria, or Italy.
Anyway, notice that Nassivera’s Chrislam requires concessions only of the Christians, not of the Muslims, as is always the case in these attempts at “outreach” and “dialogue.” The cooperation is all one-way. Also, in traditional Christianity, Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant, the divinity of Christ isn’t the minor matter Nassivera makes it out to be. It is at the core of the idea of Jesus as the savior, which Islam also rejects. For Nassivera’s Chrislam to be viable, Christians would have to accept the following Qur’an verses and other Islamic teachings:
Jesus is not the Son of God and belief in the Trinity is “excess”: “O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter anything concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say ‘Three.’ Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One Allah. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171
And: “It is not befitting to Allah that he should beget a son. Glory be to him! When He determines a matter, he only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35
Jesus was not crucified: “And because of their saying: We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they did not kill him or crucify him, but it appeared so to them; and those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it; they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a conjecture; they did not kill him for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157
Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are unbelievers: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” — Qur’an 5:17 (cf. 5:72)
Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.” — Qur’an 5:14
Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed: “The Jews call Ezra a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! ” — Qur’an 9:30
Christians who do not accepted Muhammad and the Qur’an are the most vile of created beings: “Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion. Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6
Muslims must fight against and subjugate Christians: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden what has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29
Also, a hadith has Muhammad predicting that Jesus will return at the end of the world and break the cross, as it is an insult to Allah’s power to say that he would have allowed one of his prophets to be crucified:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary [Jesus] will shortly descend amongst you people [Muslims] as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya [a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government]. Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts. (Bukhari 3.34.425)
Muslims have sometimes taken this to mean not just that crosses will be destroyed in the end times, but that they should be now. In Spain in 2015, Muslims broke into a church, spray-painted “Allah” on wall, and destroyed the crucifix. In Pakistan in 2014, Muslims destroyed a church that was under construction, and desecrated the cross. When the Islamic State occupied Mosul, it made destruction of all crosses in the city a top priority.
Here, in conclusion, is my favorite New Testament verse, this time referring to Professor John Nassivera: “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“On Faith: Chrislam, past, present and future,” by John Nassivera, Rutland Herald, March 1, 2019:
…Today, there is a new form of Islam and Christianity beginning to take shape — or perhaps, it is a recurrence to an original form of Islam. In Nigeria, a country with a large presence of both Christians and Muslims, there are those who practice a form of religion that has come to be called “Chrislam,” which is a fascinating form of monotheism — and it is spreading into the United States, as well. Those who practice Chrislam follow both Christian and Muslim traditions and theologies. They don’t think of Christianity and Islam as incompatible religions, but rather see each as being an augmentation of the other. (See “A New Religion Flourishes in Nigeria & USA,” at the website malawimuslims.com.)
Needless to say, Chrislam may hold a key or two for a more peaceful world.
Most Westerners, whether Christian or not, have no idea that both Jesus (Isa in Arabic) and his mother, Mary (Maryam in Arabic), are prominent figures in Islam’s holy book, the Quran. Muslims, in accordance with various explicit passages in the Quran, hold that Jesus was born via a virgin birth and that his mother was Mary. Islam holds that Jesus was a great prophet and teacher of major importance and in the Quran, Jesus is called “the Messiah,” “the Word of God” and “the Spirit of God” — but Islam does not go the further step, the step holding that Jesus is the Son of God and of one substance with God the Father. Muhammad, in Islam, is also a great prophet/teacher, but he is not called the Son of God, not of the same substance as God, nor is Muhammad in the Quran called the Messiah, the Word of God or the Spirit of God. In Islam, Jesus occupies the highest place among the prophets in terms of his proximity and similarity to God, but Jesus is not the “final prophet;” the final prophet is Muhammad — yet Muhammad is human and not in any sense divine. (See the recent book “The Islamic Jesus” by Mustafa Akyol, 2017.)…
The good news is that as the world becomes smaller and smaller and more and more interconnected, Christians and Muslims are going to become better and better informed about each others’ religion. Especially in Europe and Africa, Christians and Muslims are now living cheek by jowl and even inter-marrying. Truth will come out, and the truth is that Islam and Christianity have a great deal in common — especially 21st century liberal and progressive Christianity, which is a well-established movement….
As the Quran says in Surah 29: 45-49: “Dispute not with the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) … but say, We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; our God and your God is one; and it is to Him we all bow.”
May God, Allah and Chrislam be with you.
Diane Harvey says

Naildriver says
Nice quote. Islam is a fraud and Mohammed’s Koran perhaps the real opposite of Christian theology — Islam does promote the very worst in human character, such as resentment, bigotry, sexism, self pity, violence and even murder to name a few.
But this ‘amalgamation’ like certain other Asian faiths that attempt some rapprochement with this implacable foe Islam, is sadly a likelihood — that may well be a new thing in the USA, along with the likes of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, or the Latter Day Saints.
Most people will have religion at some point in their lives and a huge population of potential converts exists among atheists and agnostics alone; but Islam then demands political sedition of its converts that maintain its particular form.
Islam is this country’s enemy as a ‘nation’; and that’s how our government needs to see it before they see it as a religion.

dan christensen says
“amalgamation of Christianity and Islam, “may hold a key or two for a more peaceful world””
Amalgamating Christianity and Islam is like making powdered water out of liquid water.
You add nothing to liquid water and solidify it by freezing it.
The result is called ‘ice’, which you then may turn into powder easily.
Christianity is the water and islam is the freezing – Christianity is warm soft love and islam is emotional frost.
But who needs powdered water? Besides muslims in the desert and alkoholics.

Olli Hekkala says
John Nassivera: “Muslims, in accordance with various explicit passages in the Quran, hold that Jesus was born via a virgin birth and that his mother was Mary.”
The Bible: “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” -Mathew 1:18
What about Holy Ghost, Comforter? Is Muhammad the comforter as Muslims tell us?
Muhammad truly was scientific mastermind. His time travel technology not only make us live 600 years after Christ society, he managed to impregnate our Messiah Jesus.
Still some intellectual work to do, Chrislamists.

Terry Gain says
John Nassivera: “Muslims, in accordance with various explicit passages in the Quran, hold that Jesus was born via a virgin birth and that his mother was Mary.”
………
It is my understanding that the Koran, in addition to stating that the Christian Trinity is God The Father, Jesus and Mary, also says that Mary’s father is Amram thus confusing Mary with Miriam, the sister of Moses.
Since God dictated the Koran, I can’t understand these mistakes.
Westman says
A grimly humorous look at today’s ivory-tower “scholarship”.
It seems obvious that prof John Nassivera has never been a believer of either religion and has the same misguided, fatal, view as the rulers of Europe’s EU and liberals – that religion does not direct action detrimental to free society and claims of such ability is mostly smoke and mirrors.
Keep watching, prof John Nassivera, those glorious bastions of Chrislam: France, Germany, and Sweden. You might learn something you don’t know about Humanities.
mgoldberg says
You have to wonder how he got to be as numb as a boot. I mean, there have been 34,500 or so Jihad massacres by Jihadists in the name of mohammed, and Islam. That is an ‘amalgam’ of Islam’s Jihadist doctrines that are forever, and cannot be changed by muslims, because… they are from Mohammed and his Qu’ran and no one can change it, or….. you get some more Jihadist slaughters promising the paradise of eternal virgins with wine flowing and adoration of the Jihadists for slaughtering.
That heaven has nothing to do with anyone elses ideas of heavenly reward. Only Islam promises this.
For this ijit professor, this is the kind of thinking that intellectual bozo’s peddle in their rathskellar communing

So how does Chrislam differ from Islam?
Sara says
You do your own homework and answer that
Terry Gain says
Chrislam is a temporary “religion”. A very useful aide to full conquest. This was perhaps inevitable once Christians conceded that Islam is a religion.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, but I’d say more specifically it’s a result of accepting that the Islamic god, known as Allah, is the same as the one worshipped by Christians. I don’t believe a Christian should ever accept that.
gravenimage says
“Christlam” is a quite recent bastardized concept.
it was not around for all the centuries when all Christians considered Islam to be an evil religion.

Kilfincelt says
What this ignorant, elitist academic–an oxymoron if there ever was one–doesn’t understand is that the Jesus of the Christians is not the same as the Islamic Isa nor is the God of the Judeo-Christian world the same as the Islamic Allah. Even the Jewish Abraham isn’t the same as the Islamic Abraham.
Many scholars have found indications that the Koran got some of its material from early Christian and Jewish writings. However, with regard to early Christian writings, the nature of Christ–his humanity vs. his divinity–created division among Christians, particularly within the Middle East. Attempts by the early church to resolve the issue ended in failure so many Middle Eastern churches broke from the mainstream church.
Early Islam developed not all that long afterwards. According to scholars, the authors of the Koran seem to have used some Middle Eastern Christian writings that weren’t necessarily mainstream and even some non-mainstream Jewish writings a part of the Koran. This resulted in stories that were not a part of the Bible, were corrupted by the authors of the Koran to fit a narrative. and/or were errors in translation or copying. (Perhaps this is the reason for the destruction of the early materials on which the Koran was based? Further, errors in translation and copying would explain why some verses make absolutely no sense. See Christoph Luxemberg for his translation of some of those verses.) Arabic traditions along with verbally transmitted Middle Eastern stories and ideas where added to the Koran along with, more than likely, directives created by those in power to control the ruled. (Note: Some of this is my own opinion based on what I have read.) The result of all this was the mishmash that is the Koran where Abraham is no longer Jewish, Isa isn’t Jesus, and Allah is unrecognizable as the Judeo-Christian God.

Islam-splaining
https://lesfemmes-thetruth.blogspot.com/2019/02/islamsplaining.html
Walter Sieruk says
With all the pious words found in the Quran about “greatly respecting and honoring Jesus” The is an clever and demonically insidious way of making Islam “ sound good” To the person who doesn’t know much about the doctrines of the Bible and likewise doesn’t know how actual teaching of Islam, Chrislam might sound like a “good idea.” The reality is that many of Islam’s teachings are in such strong contradiction the doctrines found in Bible. For there are many unmovable doctrines which are in contrast between Christianity and Islam. Yet in the ways of sly deception some of the Islamic teachings fit in the Bible, for example, the “virgin birth of Jesus” this is that way to make Islam seem Bible based . The fact of reality is that most what Muslims believe is in a strong contrast to what Christians believe. The few Biblical truths in Islam only make the Quran a religious book of half-truths. For example a “half- truth is really a lie. Likewise as a part truth is falsehood .That Islam teaches the virgin birth is Jesus only makes Islam more deceptive because in that specific aspect Islam sounds Biblical ,godly, yet Islam’s teaching in many important way are outstanding unbiblical . So this “Chrislam” of the mixing of Bible based truth and the Qurans false doctrines is like mixing spring water with cyanide and hoping that drinking it will have good results.
Therefore the so called “Christians” who embrace an accept Chrislam , they fit in with prophesy in the Bible found in First Timothy 4:1. This informs the reader that “Now the Spirit expressly says that in that latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be explained that the way for a person to discover the truth concerning the nature of Jesus is found in the Bible verse Isaiah 8:20. This instructs “To the law of the testimony. If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.” [N.K.J.V.] In other words, if a religious teacher has teaching that are in contradiction to the Word, the Bible, then that teachers is a false teacher who teaches false doctrines. The Muslim clerics, as the imam and mullahs, teach and speak doctrines about God from the Quran .
As the Quran in 112 teaches “He is God alone: God is the eternal begetteth not…” Likewise, this religious book which is the entire foundation of and for Islam further teaches in 19:35. “It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.” In great contrast the Bible teaches in John 1:14. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory , the glory of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Likewise John 3:16 teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… Then just a little further in verse 18 it is written about Jesus Who is “the only begotten Son of God. “ Other places in the Bible further teach that Jesus is the Son of God as in Matthew 16:15:16. Luke 1:35. John 3:36. First John 4:14. 15. 5:14,15. Moreover to be even more clear the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Who is God the Father. As found in Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. Of course , it ,very much, needs to made even more specific . The Bible teaches that Jesus is also God the Son. As seen in Hebrew 1:8 and First John 5:20. The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain” this all away. As in they will try brush off all those Bible verse off by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted, through time, by Christians and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. That claim they make actually underestimate the Power of God to protect and keep His Word safe and intact ,through time, and away from the corruption of men.
In conclusion ,with the above instruction of the way to find doctrinal truth in Isaiah 8:20 and in the light of the Bible verse provided it may be clearly seen, by all those who are willing to see, that Islam is in terrible doctrinal error and it is therefore a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.
Islam and Chrislam is are demonic falsehoods
CRUSADER says
Demonic, for sure.

They hide their true intentions behind words. It’s not an amalgamation. It’s a clever way to force dhimmitude upon Christians, while leaving them with the illusion that they are still Christians. Perhaps the present pope would like to hear about this: he might like it.
dan christensen says
You will never make Christians humble themselves physically before their Christians God, by crawling around on the floor with bottoms up.
You will never make a muslim feel humiliated by making him kneel to eat a wafer and drinking alcohol, just to commerorate the holy Trinity.
Christianity is more spiritual and islam more physical in liturgy and religious commands.
In fact, Christianity has very few rules that must be observed, while islam contains specifications for all little idiotic daily chores, like how to brush teeth and how to wipe your bottom in accordance with holy scripture.
Christians generally think these thousands of petty details a pestilent nuisance beyond all reason.

“The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable.”
Mind you, Lord Chesterfield was talking about the sexual act and not some religious liturgical act.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!”
Galatians 1: 609
somehistory says
This is disgusting in the extreme. This is true blasphemy.
liberal and progressive Christianity”
*********************************************
There is no such thing as “liberal and progressive Christianity.” Christianity must stay the same as when Christ gave His commandments, instructions, Laws and orders to His disciples. To change and be “liberal” or “progressive” is to stop being Christianity. To change in any way, to deviate from the path Jesus gave, is to leave the “the Way” Christians have been given.
If someone such as this idiot who has spewed utter nonsense and speech from satan, thinks they can mix Christianity and islam, they are sadly mistaken. Once a person “mixes” anything in, their worship is polluted. It is no longer Christian. Once a person adds anything from islam…or another religion or ideology…or takes anything away from what Christ said, that person no longer worships according to “Truth” and “The Way, The Truth and the Life” must be or one is not doing as Christ taught.
islam and Christianity have nothing “in common.” They are as different as night and day, cold and heat, darkness and light; as far from each other as Christ is from satan the devil. islam is evil, straight from satan, All sects and teaching of islam lead right back to satan. Christianity is pure righteousness, and leads one to the God of Love.
Our God will exact a heavy toll on all liars, false teachers, false prophets, and those who deliberately mislead others. “It is better to have a millstone hung about one’s neck and be thrown into the sea than to mislead one of these little ones.” (Jesus Christ)
Kepha says
Sorry, Dr. Nassivera, we have been told ad nauseam that Islam honors Jesus and his mother, blahblahblah.
Our problem is that we are not ignorant of Christianity. Many of us here have made it a point to understand the religion of Christ; especially since we profess it. No matter what your beloved Socinians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and pot-Hegelians say, Jesus is God, and he himself claimed it when he demonstrated his powers over crippling diseases (Mark 2:1-12), the weather and sea (Mark 4:41, cf. Ps. 107:23-29), and his declaration “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). He also said he would die to ransom many (Mark 10:45) and rise from the dead–and did those. Further, Jesus’ death on the cross, attested by the Christians’ New Testament, the letters of the pagan Pliny with his emperor, and the traditions handed down in the Jewish Talmud, we see, with the New Testament, as the atonement for our sins, and that we are called to trust in that work of Christ for our salvation.
Hence, we cannot but see the Qur’an’s denial of Jesus’ death on the cross as blasphemy–by no means honoring to Jesus Christ.
Dr. Nassiver, go back to the Buddhist wannabe of the 1960’s, Alan Watts. In the end, he decided that there was something too ornery, stubborn, and whatnot to make it redeemable to the cultured and mystical souls of the mid-20th century. Unhappily, that stubborn and ornery thing, which is stubborn and ornery to the Chrislam project as well, is the person of Jesus Christ himself.
Thanks for reminding me that our top universities, such as Columbia, are horribly overrated, and it probably is worth nobody’s money to get a degree from one of them. Certainly their degrees in religion are probably worth little more than the paper they’re printed on.
I would urge all fellow Christians here, for the sake of loyalty to Jesus Christ, if you have people who’ve signed on to the Chrislam project in leadership in your churches, vote them out if you’re of a Presbyterian or Congregationalist church order; complain to the bishop if you’re in a monepiscopal system.

Every religion Abrahamic and non Abrahamic. It teaches the fight against good and evil. Abrahamic religion copied the concept from Hinduism. The three God of Hinduism represents Creation, Preservation and destruction same for Abrahamic also, Yah, Jesus, Alla respectively.. Now a days religion is not primary focused one, for human being.other practical solutions are available for example social work.
Religion is a bunch of bull shit deceive morons which focus on astrology and constellation. It is a garbage like terrorism, movies and politics in third world countries.
What is the primary goal UN and other organizations need to focus, Availability of food, Clothing, Minimum Shelter, Cure from diseases, waste disposal, preservation of nature, terrorism free world,corruption free world,population control, jobs, agriculture etc

Professor claims Chrislam, amalgamation of Christianity and Islam, “may hold a key or two for a more peaceful world”
……………………..
The claim that eviscerating a peaceful faith to conform to a violent one will bring peace is insane–except in the Islamic sense of forcing everyone to become Muslim.
More:
Anyway, notice that Nassivera’s Chrislam requires concessions only of the Christians, not of the Muslims, as is always the case in these attempts at “outreach” and “dialogue.”
……………………..
Yes. This is always a one-way street, just as the Muslim Brotherhood noted.
More:
…Today, there is a new form of Islam and Christianity beginning to take shape — or perhaps, it is a recurrence to an original form of Islam. In Nigeria, a country with a large presence of both Christians and Muslims, there are those who practice a form of religion that has come to be called “Chrislam,” which is a fascinating form of monotheism…
……………………..
Notice that John Nassivera doesn’t bother mentioning that far from being an interfaith paradise that in Nigeria Muslims are kidnapping, raping, and mass slaughtering Christians–no amount of “Christlam” is changing that.
More:
Most Westerners, whether Christian or not, have no idea that both Jesus (Isa in Arabic) and his mother, Mary (Maryam in Arabic), are prominent figures in Islam’s holy book, the Quran.
……………………..
Muslims also believe that the main role of the Muslim “Jesus”–really, “prophet Isa” is to murder all Christians in the last days. Nassivera either does not know this, of doesn’t want you to know it.
More:
The good news is that as the world becomes smaller and smaller and more and more interconnected, Christians and Muslims are going to become better and better informed about each others’ religion. Especially in Europe and Africa, Christians and Muslims are now living cheek by jowl and even inter-marrying…
……………………..
Actually, Muslim men can marry Christian women, but Christian men may not marry Muslim women. Christian men and Muslim women who have dated or married are often victims of Muslim “Honor Killing”. No mention of that, either.
More:
As the Quran says in Surah 29: 45-49: “Dispute not with the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) … but say, We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; our God and your God is one; and it is to Him we all bow.”
……………………..
Again, there is a lot that Nassivera does not say–that Muslims believe that Jews and Christians have “corrupted” there scriptures, which used to be as vicious as the Qur’an. So these mythical “revelations” are what Muslims believe in–not the actual Christian Gospels.
Nassavera is either ignorant or mendacious–it hardly matters which.

What an idiot. Islam doesn’t peacefully coexist with anyone or anything. It always seeks to dominate by terror and violence.
Brenda Marty says
But he’s a professor don’t ya know.
jedothek says
Chrislam sounds identical to Islam, given that Muslims already revere Jesus.
Terry Gain says
They are most impressed with his fakery and that he’s coming back to break all the crosses. I predict that when it gets a foothold Chrislam wil change its name to Islamianity. I will spell it Islaminaneity.
CogitoErgoSum says
Islamianity!!! What an insanely fantastic word, Terry. It captures the essence of the whole idea.
janwog says
Chrislam is the open door which leads to plain Islam in the Western world.
James Whitney says
“…this blend requires Christians to give up the idea of the divinity of Christ.”
I wonder if Professor Nassivera has ever heard of, or read, the Nicene Creed? Of course it is not really very important. After all, it is only proclaimed at every Sunday Catholic Mass throughout the world.
Linda Rivera says
John Nassivera is an EVIL CHRIST HATER.
Ole Pederson says
Professor has no clue.
Anne says
Give up the 10 commandments as well? Love thy neighbor alone contradicts Koranic injunctions against taking as friends the infidel kuffar.
strambotik says
He obviously never heard of Chrislamobudaism, which is twice as phony.
Jay Dillon says
We need a war, and we need a big one, and we need it soon, and there is never going to be any way around that fact, unless Jesus returns, magically convinces everyone to be good people, and not fight, cleans up all our zits, and so forth. But you know what, I think the whole thing is we have to fight each other, not fall for all this nonsense of having it all done for us, when we can’t even see there is an obvious problem here on this planet, and it is growing, and it is evil, and a big part of that evil is in vicious, evil moslem teachings, the koran, and so forth and these have to be dealt with very severely indeed, or there will never be any peace. The moslems cannot be dealt with by negotiation and “ecumenical” bargaining and “understanding” — they simply view all that as a chance to infiltrate and subvert us. YES there are some good moslems, but if they are so good, they should dump the koran into the nearest woodstove, and get rid of it, because if they read that crap, they can easily see that it is evil and will never be the basis of any world peace other than totalitarianism, which is not peace at all, and never will be.
mortimer says
John Nassivera’s Islamized version of Jesus is the Jesus of the Koran. John Nassivera cannot have read the New Testament let alone studied it.
John Nassivera’s Ph.D. in Comparative Literature has equipped him for writing plays and articles about fiction. He obviously thinks of his harmonized literary version of religions as a play in which he writes a happy ending.

So how do the Yazidis feel about this…many have disappeared and many woman have been enslaved…guess the islamist or isis got to here from him…
