Phobias, Islam and "Islamophobia" has been in the news a fair bit recently. As conservative commentators discuss Islam, they rightly highlight their concern about the over used slur “Islamophobia.” Noone really knows what it means, but accusers generally mean to label you as a hater of Islam or Muslims. ‘Phobia’ labels are usually given to shut down free speech. The Christian is faced with a dilemma here. Go along quietly, or dare to love enough to disagree with some powerful forces among today’s elite rulers.

So how can we live as people of freedom? What is true freedom? How can we experience it regardless of what others impose upon us, or what society demands of us? The Bible is full of saints who have learned to live a life of freedom, regardless of circumstances.

If taken seriously whole communities, societies, and societal struggles find transformation, healing and unity. It goes against human nature to easily forgive, maintain long-suffering, nurture patience, but as we interact with each other, these become the building blocks of healthy and wholesome relationships.

At One Truth Project we join with the world wide historical Church to proclaim Christ as our true and only Saviour. He is the escape from bondage, the one who is calling all Muslims out of Islam into His eternal family; We proclaim that Christ is the Saviour of us all.

Trials and arrests allow for no mistake, and when rulings disagree with your cause, calls for hatred and harm ring from mansion owners, sitting rulers, down to street-dwellers. Hatred reigns, communities hurt, families divide.

For some, evil is committed only by a select group, and if your own group engages in similar deeds, it is no longer considered evil. For others evil is done only by a certain religious group, or an ethnic group. But thine own group shalt do no wrong.

But there is a way to secure transformation and healing…
