Is there any connection between Islam and the Church of Satan...

This is quite an old post of mine originating from the old WritingUp days that proved somewhat controversial there, and popular on some other sites. I reproduce it here for your interest. Enjoy the read. Please do not be offended if you happen to be Muslim.

What, if any, is the connection between the violence in Islam and the Church of Satan? What, in your opinion, is the cause of the increasing violence in fundamentalist Islam?

A year or two back I visited an Islamic website and found evidence of an official Church of Satan. Who are they and how are they connected with Islam, that was my question?

I'll just discuss what I read, how I see any connection and leave it up to you to decide for yourselves.

There is an official Church of Satan. Followers of Satan, the fallen angel,existed long before Christ. Modern Satanists bear more resemblance to pagans and atheists than the baby mutilating goblins of popular yore.

Satanists did not exist as a modern religion before 1966 when Anton La Vey and associates organised a religion based on the principles expressed in the many stories of Satan, God's nemesis. In 1967 LaVey produced a book that has become known as th Satanic Bible, and the Church of Satan was born!

Modern Satanism is a broad term to describe all the sects of Satanism - many churches and philosophies all at odds with
themselves - The Church of Satan and The Temple of Set are apparently the largest of the two main branches.

Their main beliefs are outlined in the Nine Satanic Statements from the Satanic Bible and the Eleven Rules of the Earth!

So much for the Satanists themselves.The combined teachings of Jesus Christ and the prophet Muhammed dispel these Satanic rules!

Lets look at a few comments from Islam to get some idea of where they come from?

Holy Qur'ran 16:126
" And if you take your turn, retaliate with the like of that with which you were afflicted: But if you endure patiently, verily it is better for the patient."

However, this supercedes the code of Satan which promotes a merciless vengeance, while Islam teaches to only attack with the same amount you were attacked with; for example, you don't kill somebody for scratching your hand.

Kindness and vengeance do not mix,only if you are kind to yourself; because everyone who intentially or unintentionally wrongs you, so Satan is advocating revenge on everybody while Islam completed the teachings of Jesus by clarifying that when you are being attacked,it is best to have patience and forgiveness against the attack, but then if the attack continues, then you're given permission to retaliate only with the equal amount of force that was used.

It may be a little difficult to understand but I believe it says if you are attacked, have a little patience because the attack may well stop; if it doesn't you can defend yourself to the degree suffered.

Of course we all know that Jesus said,turn the other cheek!

It is the Satanists who advocate and demand vengeance, and that is the attitude and policies of the fundamentalist Muslims, who are responsible for the call to Jihad and the encouragement of suicide bombings in recent times! Just what international credibility can Islam maintain if they do no publicly rebuke these fundamentalists who defile the teachings of the prophet,Muhammed and Islam! Islam's jihad with Islam!

Well there we are and now it's up to you to make up your own minds about the contents of this post? Have a happy day! Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives.

Controversy is my middle name. It can be fun to learn the truth. I'm beginning to wonder a little about the real Islam? Do I have real cause to?

A Satanist claims that they are benign.Yeah right, and George Bush JR is a distant relative of Mother Theresa.

What do you think friend?
