Having been asked if I will be wearing "Islam is not of the Devil" shirts and having been told by another idiot that I am in league with the devil because I am opposing 'prophets of god', I think we need to clear up some misconceptions (I have deleted the other two comments because you're not only obviously unsaved but are, I fear, mentally ill as well!).
Radicalised Muslims do not speak for the mainstream Muslim faith any more than the idiotic utterances of Terry Jones, Waye Sapp or Fred Phelps speak for the mainstream Christian viewpoint. In fact both act against their proclaimed faith and damage it immensely.
For anyone to wear clothing proclaiming 'nnnnn is of the devil' actually proclaims that they certainly aren't of Christ (regardless of the posturing they might indulge themselves in)!
I would not label anyone (other than satanists perhaps because they seek that label) as being 'of satan' or 'in league with satan', but as the Matthew passage used yesterday clearly states, it is by the fruit that we will be able to identify people - look at the lives lost as a direct result of Jones and Sapp.
Look at the idiotic supporters of Phelps (and others of his ilk) and tell me where the fruit of the Spirit exists. Show me where the humility, justice and mercy are to be found (Micah 6).
Show me the disgraceful and obscene types who send pictures of aborted babies to people at random to enrage and disgust such that they will support their cause.
These people are not of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and in fact (Thank you 'Thinking Out Loud' blog):

Yes what they did was wrong. They knew of the implications and they continued to act out of stupidity and others have had to pay the price. They should be called to public repentance and they should also stand accountable to the families they have now helped ruin.
Totally agree. The fact that Jones is absolving himself of an responsibility, and calling for action against Islam because of it, demonstrates what is wrong with Dove and its members.
