요한 웨슬레 - 이슬람에 관하여

[엘리야후]

• “Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it… have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of humankind.” --- John Wesley.

이슬람이라는 종교가 세계에 등장한 이래로, 그것에 연합한자들은 다른 모든 민족들에 대하여, 그들의 무자비한 발톱들에 떨어지는 자들 모두를 찢으며 부수고, 그들의 강철 이빨들로 그들을 갈아버리며 모두를 찢으며 부수는, 늑대들과 호랑이들이 되었고, 그리하여 무수한 도시들이 기초부터 뽑혀졌고 이름들만 남았으며,많은 나라들이 한때는 하나님의 동산같았었지만, 지금은 황폐한 황무지가 되었고, 한때 수많고 강력했던 민족들이 지구상으로부터 사라졌다. 과거에도 그랬고 지금도 그러한 것은 인류를 파괴하는 이들의 분노와 노도와 보복이다. – 요한 웨슬레
