Chrislam Alert: Billboards Promote Jesus as Islamic Prophet

An Islamic group named MyPeace has funded a campaign that involves billboards in Australia that have the word 'JESUS' prominently shown and then next to it, the words 'A Prophet of Islam.' If you believe that the Bible is the True Word of God, then you know this is a lie. If you're someone who claims to be a Christian while supporting the message - not the right to communicate the message - you're simply not a Christian. One of the billboards was vandalized in a show of protest.

While the Christian community, in large part, found the billboards intentionally and unnecessarily provocative, there were reportedly some CINO's (Christians in Name Only) who enjoyed seeing the billboards. Welcome to Chrislam.

Via OnIslam:
Organizers have defended the campaign, saying the billboards have received a positive response from Christians.

MyPeace organizer Diaa Mohamed told Fairfax he had received "overwhelmingly positive feedback from Christians, atheists, Muslims, everyday Australians".

He condemned the billboard’s vandalism as validating “the reason they went up in the first place".

He said his group will go ahead with plans for similar ads with slogans as “Holy Quran: the final testament” and “Muhammad: mercy to mankind” - on buses travelling through the city and in the Hills district.
Putting aside the argument about whether the billboards are a form of protected speech (they should be), the notion that any Christian would not view what's on those billboards as an affront to their faith should cause such individuals to seriously question their own faith because it's NOT Christianity. It's Chrislam.
