Over at the Archbishop Cranmer blog there is a story about an outspoken Christian teacher of Mathematics at a Catholic school in England who was fired after posting a YouTube video in which he explained why Mohammed was a false prophet.
It is a fact that orthodox Christian teaching is that Mohammed was a false prophet, but it is also a fact that when you say it in the public square these days you are likely to be "cancelled" or worse.
If he lived in an Islamic nation, he would have received the worse.
Here in the "civilized" West, the unspoken rule is, "Oh we mustn't offend the Muslims."
Why? Because they are likely to riot? Because they might issue a death sentence on someone?
Perhaps, but no one dares to tempt fate by admitting it publicly.
When you speak truth to power, power usually lashes back, so you had better be prepared to turn the other cheek for your Christian beliefs, and to not respond by taking an eye for an eye.
Yes, Mohammed was a false prophet of the heresy that Jesus is not the Son of God, and the rest of Islam is poisoned by this heresy. The Math teacher was right, and he got smacked down for it.
Lord have mercy upon us.
