The Unholy Alliance: Story of the Village of Hope
In the late 1990s, so the authentic version goes, two middle aged men came from overseas to a peaceful, pretty but poor Moroccan “Muslim” town called Ain Leuh. This pair of men, with the help of a few Moroccan money-hungry opportunists, arranged all the legal papers for an orphanage that was to be established in the outskirts of this modest town. These warlords were Errol Muller and Herman Boonstra, two landless and barely wise strangers- the first is South African and the second Dutch-. They were veteran Evangelists who had lost all kinds of clear vision when they decided to fight Muslims. In fact, they were so disillusioned by the corruption of each other that they tried vainly to kick one another off by hook or by crook. So sickened was Errol Muller by his “closest” co-operator that he summoned some other Evangelists and swore with them to rid VOH of the devil, Boonstra, who was destroying their dream : the establishment of an outpost of estranged 33 kids ready to be unleashed on the Muslim community in the years to come. In other words, the Evangelicals wanted to have a Zionist Christian minority inside our country capable of toppling the religious stability of our beloved Morocco, God forbid.
The Strategy:
On the local level, the whole group of Evangelists went from one bordello or knocking shop to another calling for she-volunteers: Wenches/prostitutes who were ready to get pregnant for money and willing to “donate “ the baby or the bastard to the institution which will make a priest out of him/her. To achieve these goals, they had to use a notorious townsman, a guy/gay or maybe pimp with some degree in “geography”. For his own benefit, we won’t mention his name. Anyway, the men who founded VOH (village of Hell) were no real ideologues, but the men who joined them, and who became their closest lieutenants were very much of a type, since some of them were the product of an Evangelist institution, while the others were ex-convicts. All of them Newborn Againers.
What those Evangelists lost sight of was that right beneath them a lot of overwhelmingly law-abiding men and women were digging down the whole stuff/staff: you know the work of the devil can easily be washed away by water.
Some patriotic Moroccans,”Moors” you might call them, have been doing the work of God simply to establish an alternative institution with strong Islamic moral Values. These are people who wish nothing more than to live in harmony with their Muslim and non-Muslim overseas neighbors.
We want to see others embrace our faith, but are no more and no less bent on world domination than Christian Evangelicals who wish to see humankind “saved”.
History teaches us that Evangelical theocracy does not work, because people simply will not put up with it.
So footloose VOH Christian Evangelicals have been!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only hatred I can see as a neutral observer is yours...with your rhetoric, your rant against evangelicals, and your obvious arrogance towards people who hold different views to yourself...etc, etc. if you really loved Jesus the Messiah, you'd love his followers too and if the love of God was evident in your life, we might see a bit more evidence of it in your blog. I'm sure the Village of Hope people were not perfect...no one is, but nothing was hidden concerning what VOH staff were doing, with permissions gained to run the home with the appropriate authorities and unlike the brainwashing affect of some religious forms of education, evangelicals believe people can't and shouldn't be coerced or pressurised into decisions of faith. i write this in love and peace and may the aggressive nature of your comments be truly overwhelmed by the love and grace of Almighty God...
ReplyDeleteWell, dear "neutral observer", we are not acting out of hatred. We are simply exposing "some" atrocities of VOH Evangelicals. I wonder how you would feel if Muslim preachers were brainwashing little christian children. I wonder how you would feel if Muslims were telling your own kids " Mohammed loves you while Jesus hates you!!!" I wonder if you wouldn't feel oppressed when you hear Muslim preachers telling little Christian children that " Jesus has stolen your gifts." Change the word Jesus for Mohammed and you will understand our "reactions". We will not do that because we venerate Jesus Peace Be Upon him: our religion does not allow us to say anything bad about any prophet. As for being good to the followers of Jesus PBUH, Those people are not His followers; while we are. They are simply followers of the anti-christ. By the way, you are by no means "objective or neutral observer". Never miss the bush for the tree.
ReplyDeleteMuslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind. The Quran confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the Quran is entitled ‘Maryam’ (Mary). The Quran describes the birth of Jesus as follows:
(Remember) when the angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous.” She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?” He said, “So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, ‘Be!’ and it is.” (Quran, 3:45-47)
Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said:
The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, “Be!” and he came into being. (Quran, 3:59)
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said:
“I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God’s permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....” (Quran, 3:49)
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan of Jesus’ enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man. Jesus’ enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. God has said:
...They said, “We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God.” They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Quran, 4:157)
Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.
