"Ahmadinejad: What would Jesus do today?" by Yaakov Lappin for YNet News:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sent a greeting to the world's Christians for the coming New Year, in which he has linked Christianity's deity, Jesus, with the Shiite messianic figure, Imam Mahdi, saying he expected both to return and "wipe away oppression."
That's not Ahmadinejad's invention. Islamic tradition-- both Sunni and Shi'ite -- calls for Jesus and the Mahdi to appear together, with Jesus taking a subordinate role to the Mahdi and praying behind him:
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: A section of my people will not cease fighting for the Truth and will prevail till the Day of Resurrection. He said: Jesus son of Mary would then descend and their (Muslims') commander would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: No, some amongst you are commanders over some (amongst you). This is the honour from Allah for this Ummah. (Sahih Muslim 001.293)
"I wish all the Christians a very happy new year and I wish to ask them a question as well," the Iranian leader said, according to the Iranian Student News Agency.
"My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries? Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?" the Iranian president asked.
"If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?" He added.
This is an attempt to manufacture a sense of common cause by exploiting general ignorance: In playing the "Jesus" card, Ahmadinejad relies on the lack of awareness of the difference in the Christian and Muslim accounts of Jesus, with the expectation that Christian readers will project their understanding of Jesus onto a much different figure portrayed in Islam:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. (Bukhari 003.043.656)
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him. (Abu Dawud 037.4310)
This view is corroborated in Shi'ite narrations about Jesus (see 11, 12).
'Occupiers warned to evacuate Iraq'
Ahmadinejad then linked Jesus with Imam Mahdi, a Shiite leader believed by the Iranian president to have gone into hiding centuries ago, and who is expected by Shiite Muslims to return and usher in a period of messianic dominance for Islam.
To clarify, the coming of the Mahdi is foretold in both Shi'ite and Sunni Islam, but the Shi'ites identify him with the hidden 12th imam.
"All I want to say is that the age of hardship, threat and spite will come to an end someday and God willing Jesus would return to the world along with the emergence of the descendant of the Islam's Holy Prophet, Imam Mahdi and wipe away every tinge of oppression, pain and agony from the face of the world," Ahmadinejad said.
Islam is a usurper of souls, cultures, and civilizations.
I can't believe what I am reading, the leaders of Islamic nations are fighting out fictions in real! They are a bunch of crazies. They are going to destroy all of us. Lets get them before they destroy everything that we bulilt.
"My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries? Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?" the Iranian president asked"
Jesus wouldn't Destroy anyone. That's allah and Muslim work . Jesus would lead by example and give people a CHOICE.
"If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?"
Westerners and Decent peace loving people would be facing Jesus and follow him, and Muslims would reject him because Jesus WOULD reject hate , Islam , and Jihad.
The only Cure for Ahmadinejoke is a Bullet.
" ... He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. "
which cause?
the shi-ites ahainst the sunnis
or
the sunnis against the shi'ites
maybe Ahmadinijad should try to tell the sunnis about this ;-)
exdemexlib
I think the lesson for Ahmadinejad is simple:
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!!!!
Jesus would return to the world along with the emergence of the descendant of the Islam's Holy Prophet, Imam Mahdi and wipe away every tinge of oppression, pain and agony from the face of the world," Ahmadinejad said.
After Jesus takes care of the Mahdi and the human monkey man ahmadenijad he would finish the job with the rest of satans followers.
DinnerJacket is a sneaky, lying so-and-so. He's got some nerve.
Someone should tell him he's not qualified to talk about Jesus since he's not a Christian scholar.
----Iranian president in New Year's message to Christians: "God willing, Jesus will return with Imam Mahdi and wipe away oppression"----
Sounds good to me when held up, out of context.
Other out of context things I have on my wish list:
G-d willing, Jesus will return with Imam Mahdi, Buddha, Abraham, King Tut, Huitzilopochtli, the Tooth Fairy, Aegir and Hermes and wipe away stupidity.
Sahih Muslim, Bukhari and Abu Dawud are solidly in the Sunni tradition, so this mytholatrociny of Jesus is not merely a Shia thing, but a Muslim thing. Having Jesus return to fight for Muslims and against Christians has got to be the most brazen act of chutzpah in all of history!
I haven't decided what I'm going to do.
If President Ahmadinejad *really* wants to know what Jesus would do, then he should read the Book of Revelation, particularly these passages:
19: 11-21: "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great." Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
(Perhaps the "false prophet" is the Mahdi?)
20: 4-6: I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
20: 11-15: Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Translation: Ahmadinejad, your ass is God's. You and your fellow Muslim idolaters are going to spend eternity with your so-called prophet -- in a place where air conditioning does not exist.
All kingdoms and dominions on earth belong the the Devil. That includes our own. Scripture is very clear about that, and on that all informed Christians agree.

OR A BIG DOSE OF RADIATION FLASH BANG.
Thug-in-Chief asks: What would Jesus do?
lol, he sure wouldn't wipe Israel off the map, that's for sure.
Joseph D'Hippolito
When I read this article I was going to post what you did but you beat me to it! one thing I would add though.
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
Who are these armies?
Ezekiel 38
3. And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4. And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6. Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Persia is Iran, Gog is Russia, Gomer is Germany,
Togarmah is Turkey. At least according to some Bible scholars.
Ezekiel 38
13. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
These nations are thought to be the western powers. Note the Lion nations. Britian and the other English speaking nations. And it looks like they are powerless to stop this?
Ezekiel 38
16. And thou shalt come up against My people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
22. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
All these nations are Muslim, turning Muslim or support the Muslim nations.
Notice also the verses say that this will happen in the latter days. I think we are well along on this point.
So Ahmadamadingdong you cant fool me with your Muslim perversion of Christian scriptures!
I'll be the first to admit I don't know as much as I should about the Religion of Peace(TM). At first, I thought many commenters here were just teasing and making fun. But the more I read this site the more I understand what a perverse belief system this is. This article is a case in point. Clearly, they truly are clueless about Christ. If this had not been written in their "holy" texts I would have just brushed it off as Ahmadinejad trying to divide Christians and Jews (which somebody here warned about).
But I'm beginning to understand how depraved various teachings from the Religion of Peace(TM) is.
The Jews didn't kill Jesus -- He laid down his life willingly. There was a reason for that. Gentiles had to be brought into the fold, grafted into the root of His people. Jesus was a Jew and yet He is going to kill the "pigs?"
Not only is this perverse and sickening, it's also very dangerous. Dangerous not only for us infidel westerners but also for those who hold such hideous beliefs.
Ugh--"Isa" is not Jesus--at least, not a Jesus that many Christians would recognize.
The virgin birth *is* alluded to in passing, and Isa is refered to as the Messiah--but this just seems to be an honorific. There doesn't seem to be any real understanding of what "messiah" means.
Isa spends most of his time in the Qu'ran castigating Christians for their error in believing in the trinity, and denying that he is the son of God, or anything more than an apostle. The oddly koan-like phrase "God forbid that He (God) should have a son!" is sprinkled throughout the text.
The shortest chapter in the Qu'ran hammers home this point. The entire chapter, "Oneness", reads, "Say: God is One, the Eternal God. He begot none, nor was he begotten. None is equal to Him." When Ahmadinijad and people like him talk about "monotheism"--even to the Pope--they mean Islam alone. They do not consider Christianity to ba a monotheistic religion.
Isa is also a "prefiguring" figure, who announces the coming of Mohammed. He says, "I am sent forth to you from God to confirm the Torah and to give news of an apostle that will come after me whose name is Ahmed (Mohammed)".
Isa is *not* a redemptive figure. Not only does he not die on the cross, he tricks a follower into dying in his place. In some traditions this seems to be Judas, in some it is some poor unknown schmo.
Isa's main purpose (besides correcting erring Christians) seems to be as an apocalyptic figure in the last days, where he is a "killer of swine" and a "breaker of the cross and spiller of wine"--basically, he is going to kill a lot of Christians.
And on that note, President Ahmadinajad wishes all Christians a Happy New Year!

----Iranian president in New Year's message to Christians: "God willing, Jesus will return with Imam Mahdi and wipe away oppression"----
"Wipe away oppression" means you, Mr. President -- along with Islam and all of those deceived young men who are prepared to murder themselves and countless others in its name.
At least you'll have the comfort of being with your beloved Muhammad. That should make for interesting conversation.
Typical...so typical...so classic of malignant narcissistic projectionists.
What the usurpers of such positon conveniently omit...the ol' JC had beenknown to kick some ass, especially in the Temple...or did he forget that part?
lol...pathetic.
I'm more interested in 'what would Churchill, Washington, Ben-Gurion, or Patton do?' This runt lunatic wouldn't like the answer.
This man is clearly off his rockers, does he even know the meaning of 'oppression'? What's happening to the people of Iran if not oppression, and its he who is doing it, what's happening in Saudi Arabia and the majority of the gulf states if not oppression? Are a few insane religious nutjobs who only care about themselves, their opinions and ego going to hijack the lack of freedom and suffering of millions of people?
They are trying desperately by reducing everything to religion but the only place oppression doesn't exist is in democratic societies, sure they have their problems but these in no way justify self styled despots on a ego trip that reduces 99% their populations to miserable existance.
Why isn't there an uprising against the royal family in Saudi arabia, or the crazed fundamentalists in Iran, or Saddam in pre war Iraq, not a single bomb then so what right do any of these jihadists and mass murderers have to talk about oppression, humanity ,right, wrong or freedom. The only thing they care about is imposing their caveman ideals on others and blood lust, a life civilization left behind centuries ago.
They have nothing to contribute and hence they want to destroy all the progress that has been made because its not theirs and their supersized muslims egos can't accept this, their inferiority and the failure of their societies. For us its 'human' progress, for them it's muslim failure hence the rejection of civilzation itself and the throwback to barbarity.
that is the most outrageous thing i heard today how about this :
Haniyeh Urges Factions to Stop Fighting
blames US for gov't failure; six killed, dozens wounded in clashes Tuesday.
Dear Glorious Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran (and megalomanical, genocidal, malignant-narcisstic midget),
Who would Jesus behead?
When the president of iran sees jesus, he is gonna be shaking in his sneakers
And by "grafting in" I mean a spiritual grafting in. For man is a triune being, composed of a physical body, a living soul, and a spirit. Man is much more than an intelligent animal. The stumbling block for many is that they focus entirely on the flesh. The Religion of Peace(TM) seems to be obsessed with the flesh. But G-d is a spirit being...
And Jesus was no pacifist, turning the other cheek in meekness. His sinless example teaches us how futile it is to rely on the flesh. For the multitude of teachings governing the flesh, as found in The Religion of Peace(TM), will not save a man's soul. All men are imperfect because the flesh is imperfect. It has a fallen nature. If we try to rely on the works of the flesh then one must turn the other cheek as a truly sinless man would. Relying solely on the flesh is futile...
But does that mean that we should not even try to emulate the good works of Jesus, the sinless sacrifice, whose ways were faultless? Since we aren't good enough to do it? No, we must try and keep trying to do good. And it isn't easy, as Paul of Tarsus noted, "Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?"
Do I sound like a Christian? Sorry, if I've offended anyone... I'm certainly not perfect. Indeed, I am a western infidel too.
Speaking of what Jesus would do...I wonder what he would have to say about the three ring circus that Moamar Qaddafi runs over in Libya. Several Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor were sentenced to death (but not before the requisite torture in prison) because about 400 kids turned up with HIV in Libya. The doctors and nurses were part of a big CIA/Israeli plot, don't you know. Now, I've seen the medical practices in that part of the world and I have to tell you that the HIV infections were undoubtedly a result of rank negligence which is an overriding characteristic.
here's the link to the story.

"I'm certainly not perfect" is a good phrase for Any person, Christian, Hindu, Sihk, Bhuddist, Secular, everyone. You simply spoke Truth.
Assalamau Alaikum all,
If Jesus was alive today, he would be very disappointed with the way his name and life history has been distorted. He would weed out the wicked and once again write his life history of 2007 years ago….here it is again for those in the dark…I’m sure Jesus would put the finer points to it…but it’s a starter for 10…please put on your hard-disks for safe-keeping..
The mother of Prophet Isa (pbuh) was called Maryam. Some peoples also call her Mary . She was a very pious woman and once, an angel of Allah (SWT) Allah (SWT) came to her and said:
”Soon you will have a son”. “But how can I have a son?” Maryam asked. “I have no husband”. The angel replied: “Allah (SWT) is almighty, when He wishes something, then it will happen. You will have a son, and his name shall be Isa (pbuh), and he will be a great prophet of Allah (SWT) (SWT)”.
Later Maryam returned to her family. They were very curious about the child and asked: “How did you get him?”
But Maryam did not answer. Instead, she just pointed to the child. Don’t be silly, Maryam! the peoples admonished her. “How can we ask a child, who is still in the cradle?”
But just then, to their amazement, they heard the child say: I am the servant of Allah (SWT). He has given me the scripture and made me His prophet. We, mankind, should worship only Allah (SWT) and help the poor and give them some of our money. (in the form of Jizah)..
Years passed and Isa (pbuh) grew to be a man. Often, he spoke to the peoples and told them what Allah (SWT) had revealed to him. He told them too of the earlier prophets of Allah (SWT). He told them: I am also a prophet of Allah (SWT) and I am also a man like all the other prophets of Allah (SWT). You should believe in Allah (SWT) and worship no-one apart from Allah (SWT). You should be good to one another and help each other.
Some peoples have given Isa (pbuh) the name Jesus. They say that Allah (SWT) is the father of Jesus. We don’t know if this is true. Allah (SWT) has no sons. Only human beings have sons and daughters.
Isa (pbuh) brought a book to mankind. This book is called Injil, and Allah (SWT) gave this book to Isa (pbuh). In it there are many stories and it is also stated there that mankind should worship only Allah (SWT).
Prophet Isa (pbuh) had many blessings from Allah (SWT). He was able to perform many miracles with Allah (SWT)’s help. He could cure the sick so that they would be grateful to Allah (SWT) and obey and pray to Allah (SWT) alone.
Prophet Isa (pbuh) told the peoples of another prophet who was going to come later, whose name would be Prophet Ahmad. It was Allah (SWT) who had sent Prophet Isa (pbuh) to the peoples to tell them that Prophet Muhammad would come.
There were many peoples who listened to Prophet Isa (pbuh) and worshipped Allah (SWT), but here were some who refused to listen and wanted to kill him. Evil peoples have always tried to persecute and kill Allah (SWT)’s prophets.
But when the evil peoples were just about to kill Isa (pbuh) Allah (SWT) came to his rescue. Some peopless say that Prophet Isa (pbuh) was nailed onto a cross by his enemies and that he died in this way. But we don’t know if this is true? Allah (SWT) protected Prophet Isa (pbuh) so that the peoples could not carry out their evil intentions. Allah (SWT) said to Isa (pbuh):
Go to Kashmir I will let you die in peace after the age of 128 and then you will come to Me and be with Me. Those who had been following you and prayed to Me and did good will be brought to Me. They will receive the best rewards, because they have been very obedient.
Now you know...please spread your good knowledge of this....Allah be with... humashan (always).
Your trusted friend....Naseem.
Ahmadinejad you are a funny fellow!
I might not be the most Christian man but for some reason if Jesus were alive I don't he would care much for hanging little girls for getting raped.
In fact I don't think he would have much use for Islam.
Not to offend any Religious People here , Cause i think Christians are generally Peaceful and tolerant , and Muslims generally , NOT. ( not that i mind offending Muslims )
But does anyone think that Religion itself might be the problem here? All this in the Name of God?It's all pretty Perverse if you ask me.
How proud a God would be to see us Murdering each other in the Billions over the centuries in his name. Everybody thinks their God is the one.
It just seems like Madness to me.
Naseem
Muslims worship a different god then Christians.
That much is clear even from a secular man like me.
Facts are Facts...
Naseem......
Don't kid yourself, you are not a friend, and you will never be trusted.
Ahmadinejad's friends didn't do all that well in Friday's election which saw an unusually high turn-out of 60%. Perhaps we won't be subjected to his ramblings much longer.
Naseem
"Prophet Isa (pbuh) told the peoples of another prophet who was going to come later, whose name would be Prophet Ahmad."
Wait the Prophet Ahmad??? Does this make sense to anyone.
Perhaps she means..

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the annointed, only begotten son of God and the Saviour of mankind through His redemptive work of suffering on the cross for all sin, once and for all, Who is God of very God:
Kinda funny the story old Mo made up about Jesus. Obviously he was an ignorant, illiterate, uncultured guy, since he didn't get much right about the scriptures that the Jews already had possessed for centuries.
Hey, did old Mo know that JESUS IS A JEW????????

Naseem...
Oh wait you are right Muhammed did not have one name...
lots of aka's!
Sort of like prostitutes have aka's like Mary Baker aka Sweet Mary aka Mary Me aka Liza love etc.
So Muhammed's were aka Ahmad aka Little Mo (explains the forced marriges) aka Lord of the Flies aka Lucifer.
etc.
So hard to remember all these names of these petty low lifes. I guess when you don't want people to know who you are (like local law enforcement at the time) you needed names like this.
How come Jesus did not have aka's????
Oh thats right he was not a gangsta.
Concerned Canadian,
The problem here is not religion - it's political ideology. While Christianity is a religion, Islam is more of a political ideology and a fascist one at that. They fight in the name of God because...well...who hasn't. But fighting is ordered by the religion.
There are individual Muslims who reject that part of the doctrine, but in doing so are no longer considered Muslim by their fellow Muslims and their lives are in grave danger.
Nasseem,
For God's sake, man, you don't even know the Islamic story of Isa properly! What the hell are you talking about - Kashmir, indeed.
I'll be the first to admit I don't know as much as I should about the Religion of Peace(TM). At first, I thought many commenters here were just teasing and making fun. But the more I read this site the more I understand what a perverse belief system this is.

What a load of crap. Christ's existence 500 years before the birth of that plagarizing dog Muhammad(pbuh)is proof enough of Christ's superiority. Christ layed down his life for all. Muhammad raped, pillaged and just got old and went out with a whimper.
It's akin to me taking credit for the discovery of electricity and that Ben Franklin was really working for me a hundred or so years before I was born. Utter nonsense, Like most of the rationale of Islam.
IF Christ had to know what we know today, which is speculative because how can you anticipate a threat that does not yet exist, He should pray behind the Imam Madhi. Thats the best location to stab someone in the back from. Forget WWJD. It really would be WSJD (what should Jesus do).
Maybe I should start a religion. Then I could say that (insert God name here) elected me the Prophet and that Christ and Muhammad were merely lesser prophets who existed well before me.
Wait a minute, that sounds exactly like what Muhammad did and exactly what Islam is. Bad plagarism from an angry, disillusioned shell of a man.
Stand fast,
Mohamed WAS illiterate. This is part of Islamic doctrine. This is why the early Arabs were so amazed that Mo came out of the cave speaking in poetry (the Quran is basically bad poetry). The stupid thing is that you can verbalize poetry without being able to read and write a damned thing. So, how this poetry was a miracle is a mystery to me.
However, Mo was a trader and, thus, had a lot of contact with both Christians and Jews and he obviously started out bringing Christianity to the Arabs. However, by this time, all Christians believed that Christ is the son of God (and is God himself God - which is something not all early Christians believed). How could Mo compete with that? So, he had to de-deify Christ and foretell of his own coming. As Mo got more powerful, he also became more corrupt and blood-thirsty.
And, yes, he always knew that Christ was Jewish. When the Jews refused to accept him as a prophet, Mo started receiving all these messages from God about how evil the Jews were (convenient, no?). The fact that Christ himself was a Jew is not worked out in Islam - as logic itself is not present in the religion/political ideology.
If Jesus was alive today, he would be very disappointed with the way his name and life history has been distorted.

OOOh! Missed that bit.
Let's see now...the documents upon which we rely for Jesus' life story were written by his own apostles. And the determination of the verasity of stories included cross checking those documents.
The documents upon which the Islamic account relies is....well, there aren't any. In fact, Islam relies on no documentation at all. Not one word of the Koran was written down until 65 years after Mohamed's death. Not one word of the Hadith was written down until 250 years after Mohamed's death. In addition, Mohamed couldn't have read any Jewish or Christian texts (and, thus, got the story wrong) because he was completely illiterate.
So, you now come around telling us that Jesus' life story is all messed up based on the unsubstantiated accounts of an ancient Arab trader?

*This post made me laugh all over myself, and then to decide to chime in.
On this topic overall, it is patently absurd to think that the Son of God incarnate, Jesus, would have brought a description of a loving and forgiving Father God to us all, only to then say essentially, "But just wait for the last Prophet to come, who will advocate intolerance, murder and intimidation in the name of God, to attain peace."
The account of Jesus (Isa in the Koran) fails completely to mention His resurrection, His appearance to many of His followers, and His ascention into Heaven...a Divine example of how we all should live our lives.
Rather, the world should be driven by Threat and Insinuation, promoted by Mo(the)Ped.
Yeah, if I were illiterate, and Dumb Like Stump, I'd prefer thinking that I could kill indiscrimantly and receive praise for it from my god, too.
Ahmadinejad is a wily, calculating leader, no doubt about it. Associating Jesus and the 12th imam, their return, with world-wide peace...but only after Israel's annihilation.
Not a chance.
What would Jesus do? Now? He'd forgive Muslims for their blindness and ignorance, their error in adhering to Islam.
And one parting thought~
Jesus would remind us all about the false prophets and false religions which would arise in the latter of days.
Sort of a "See, I told you so," remark, though offered gently, lovingly.

"The fact that Christ himself was a Jew is not worked out in Islam - as logic itself is not present in the religion/political ideology."
Boy, you can say that again, citycat. Not much is logical in Islam, whereas, "Come let us reason together, saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as wool."
The Bible foretells many prophesies concerning the Messiah, and Jesus fulfilled them all. Kinda hard to figure out how Jesus did that if He was just another guy like us.
Also, the Bible accurately describes the human condition. We are all sinners in need of redemption.
Lastly, Islam is just another of those religions that believes a man can pray enough, do enough and perform enough rituals to make himself acceptable to a holy God. Only Christianity teaches that God had to come down in the form of Jesus to pay for all of our wrongdoing. It's a gift from God,, done by God and human beings certainly can do nothing to raise ourselves up on the purity scale.
It seems so much more logical and reasonable than Islam, a hodge-podge of platitudes and blithering effusiveness.
>>Muhammad raped, pillaged and just got old and went out with a whimper.>>
From what I hear, Mohammed died screaming, swearing and sniveling from a poisoned meal one of his rape victims -- a Jewish woman -- prepared.
'Hey, did old Mo know that JESUS IS A JEW????????'
'Old Mo' was not above taking a Jewish woman as his 'wife' (i.e raping the women he took as slaves after murdering their husbands), and this seems to have been a fairly common practice amongst his followers.
So what happened to the children of these slaves? How many were then brought up as Mohammedans, despite their Jewish ancestry?
And how much Jewish blood is there now in the descendants of these barbarians?
Could it be that these people who never tire of spouting hatred for Jews are in fact part Jewish themselves?
Yeah, good one, aardvark! :)
Islamism is a form of the anti-Christ.
Islam is a usurper of souls, cultures, and civilizations.
This is the exciting thing about Islam. Like a boa constrictor, it can unhook its jaws to swallow and dissolve anything, even other boas.
This all goes back to when Mohammed-the-gigolo in his leisure time apparently engaged a rabbi to expose him to the Old Testament, and then another consultant to bring him the New Testament.
When Mohammed started weaving his ridiculously fractured admixture of Judeo-Christianity (in some cases placing Jewish prophets out of sequence and a thousand years out of place), some of the local Yathribian Jews started making wise cracks about what a dumbass Mohammed was.
And the Jews were right: Mohammed was indeed a dumbass. But their mistake came out when Mohammed emerged from the mosque with the revelation that God was pissed at the Jews and Christians for corrupting Islam, the true source of divinity.
And thus followed a 10-yr string of God commandments to slaughter Jews and Christians and pagans and anybody else who got in the way of Global Sharia.
* 2:216 * 4:74 * 9:111 * 8:12 * 4:96 * 56:22 * 38:51 * 55:56 * 55:76 * 56:22 * 8:74 * 9:2 *
And here we are, nearly 1,400 yrs later getting consumed or, better put, subsumed, by the Mohammedans. Kiss your soul, culture, and civilization goodbye. Or fight.

Actually, mohammed died of fever. So yeah, mohammed went out with a whimper indeed.
Death
In 632 Muhammad fell ill and suffered for several days with head pain and weakness. He succumbed on Monday, 0632-06-08, in the city of Medina, at the age of sixty-three. He is buried in the Muhammad's tomb in the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina.

Islam came several hundred years after Christianity. Quuran is simply a bad cut, paste and edit of Old Jews scripts and Christian Bible. If you don't believe that you deserve to be a Muslim, otherwise, you will determine by yourself that QuuRan has nothing new to offer to humanity. Nearly forgot, Mo introduced Jihad, for which the Moslims worship him to eternity.
This Paki guy Naseem is a clown. If I hadn’t known he was a Paki, I would have betted hundred bucks that he is from Pakistan, because his posts are so out of whack and so laughable. Btw..Naseem is a Muslim therefore he enjoys deceiving us by make believe that he is a women. Moslims don’t let their women discuss in the forums, if found out they are dead meat.

Make sure to address it to President Mahmoud Amadinejad Teheran, Iran

Here's what the SAUDIS do to Jesus
*Stewardess 'banned from taking bible on plane'*
By Laura Clout
Last Updated: 12:51pm GMT 19/12/2006
An air stewardess is claiming religious discrimination against an airline which she says banned her from taking the Bible to Saudi Arabia.
The stewardess has been told by BMI that it is against the law of the insular Middle Eastern country to bring in religious books other than the Koran.
The woman, who is understood to be a committed Christian, takes her bible everywhere she goes and is now set to take the airline to an industrial tribunal claiming discrimination on religious grounds.
AdvertisementBMI, formerly British Midland Airways, said today it was merely following the Foreign Office advice that no non-Islamic materials or artefacts are allowed into the country. A spokesman from the airline said: "We issue advice to all our staff and passengers that these are the guidelines.
"She is saying she wants to carry her bible with her. We are saying we can't start designing rules around individuals when we've got several hundred members of staff. To take every personal preference into account would be impossible."
On its web site the Foreign Office says of Saudi Arabia: "The importation and use of narcotics, alcohol, pork products and religious books, apart from the Koran, and artefacts are forbidden."
BMI said it offered the stewardess the opportunity to transfer from long-haul duties to short-haul, but she refused.
The case follows that of British Airways worker Nadia Eweida, also committed Christian, whose objection to BA rules which forbade her visibly wearing a cross led to a review by BA of its uniform policy.

SO LETS WAIT TO HEAR WHAT CAIR AND MR.HOOPER HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS BIGOTRY TO CHRISTIANS,
The funniest bumper sticker I ever saw said:
JESUS I COMING SOON AND IS HE PISSED!!!
Hey- Read your Bible- He aint no little milk-toast. HE comes back this time on his White Horse with judgement for the Nations!! After that, read about the Peace that consumes all the Earth.
Yes Sir- The B-I-B-L-E thats the book for me!
Left out the "S" in "IS".
Should be- Jesus "IS" coming soon.
On the other hand, if Muhammad were alive today, would he be pleased with the way present-day radical Muslims claim to pattern their lives after him?
Not to offend any Religious People here , Cause i think Christians are generally Peaceful and tolerant , and Muslims generally , NOT. ( not that i mind offending Muslims )
Concerned Canadian,
I totally understand where you are coming from. Indeed, much evil has been done in the name of religion. The early Crusaders, for example, had a very imperfect understanding of Christianity. By misinterpreting scripture, based on the limited knowledge they had at the time, they killed out of the name of religion. As has every other major religion that I'm aware of.
However, awhile back here at JW, someone mentioned something about a "3rd extreme position" i.e. assuming that all religions are evil and form the basis of human suffering. Communism seemed to thrive on this belief but we see where that lead. In fact, more people have been murdered under atheistic belief systems than any organized religion. I take it The Religion of Peace(TM) might seek to break those records?
Religion is intertwined with culture and not all done in the name of religion is evil. Far from it. Children have been fed, the naked clothed, and the suffering administered to in the name of religion. And while we don't want a theocratic government in the western world, we can recognize that many of our formal western laws were based on religious beliefs as is our culture to some degree (much less now than in the past).
Someone once said, "Yes, but you can't legislate morality." Contrare, we do it every day with, for example, the 10 commandments -- "Thou shalt not murder" "Thou shalt not steal" etc. etc.
And no, that doesn't and shouldn't have to threaten non-religious folks.
Anyway, I got your point. Any "religion" that commands its followers to go out and murder infidels, to me, is a cult. And I don't mind offending them either. ;)
There has got to be JUST ONE person in Iran who has the balls and the brains to wipe this dangerous moron off the face of the earth!
I simply cannot bear these islamidiots comparing their piece of S*** koran with any single parts of the Bible - Judaism or Christianity.
I consider it one of the most offensive things I have come across,,,on top of all their murders, terrorim, threats,,,,,,well,you all know what I mean.
The problem here is not religion - it's political ideology. While Christianity is a religion, Islam is more of a political ideology and a fascist one at that. They fight in the name of God because...well...who hasn't. But fighting is ordered by the religion.
There are individual Muslims who reject that part of the doctrine, but in doing so are no longer considered Muslim by their fellow Muslims and their lives are in grave danger.

Well put Citycat , i do agree that Islam is a Fascist Ideology . It is not just a Religion , But a HOW TO manual to Live by...or else!
I also did not want to Imply Christians were in any way similar to Islamists in ideology or actions . I have many many Christian Friends and i know the score and it's no contest as to which side i stand with. The point i guess i was trying to make is how much each side puts their Faith into this fight.
I read Chapter and Verse quoted by both Sides so much it's kinda freaky.
I just see the Religious Aspects as fueling the Fires.
Separation of church and state was implemented in the West for Good reason.that is why
Islam should and MUST be brought Down because it will never live peacefully with anyone with a different ideology . It's been proven time and again.
Anyway Christianity is a beautiful way for those who accept Peace and tolerance and love their fellow man. I give respect for that. Islam ? , well what can i say?
Not a lot.
There is also a reply on the topic of "tolerance" elsewhere.
Christians already know what Jesus did before the oppressive powers under which He was born, i.e. the Roman empire....
- He healed their servants.
- He loved, blessed, and did good to those who persecuted, hated, struck, and cursed Him.
- He rendered unto Caesar what was Caesar's.
- He spoke civilly with the Herods, Pilates, Roman centurions and soldiers, not to mention the Pharisees, allowing Himself to be crucified by them.
He never "wiped out" his oppressors.But as a Muslim, Ahmadinejad doesn't believe in any of this anyway, so what's the point of him asking Christians "what would Jesus do"?
What would Jesus do ,he asks? Read the Bible and see for yourself lunatic.
No matter what kind of twist or slant these people put on islam or christianity it comes out the same to me.
In my opinion i guess you could say i do believe in thier 12th imam story,after all all the devil did was take the true words of God dictated to the world by his son,Jesus and spin it into the koran and mightyly twisted i might add.
i suppose it's safe to say that if Jesus says he will return to bring right the world,well then the devil would want his minions in thier deep illusions of grandier to know he will be there too.
All one has to do is read both books to see just which is the real mccoy.On one hand you have a savior telling his followers to sheath the sword and spread the good words by mouth and example.On the other hand you have a book that tells it's followers to kill all those who choose not to believe in thier God or enslave them and make them lesser people,in other words spread the koran by the sword and use the horrific example of muhammad as the words to do so.
I don't care if i offend islam over my comments for the very reason they put fear in the devil and his zombies that the fires they will one day feel because of the fact that thier deeds and tactics will never weaken the faith and justice doled out by the one true God.
I fail to see how islam raving about how they uphold Jesus is supposed to gladen my heart when how they do it makes it sound like Jesus is just another obeying infedel falling to the heels of muhammad.
The fools that run around telling the rest to behave and get along because islam and christianity believe and worship the same God are just that,fools and more than likely only have faith in the almighty dollar.Anyone with inteligence can read the Bible from start to finish,or just anyone who can read.Those who try to read the koran may as well cut the whole thing up into a jigsaw puzzle and read it that way.
So far i guess it's safe to say the true God and his son Jesus used inteligent people and delivered devine inteligence in order to make the Bible understandable.Too bad the same couldn't be said for the koran and islam.
Yes God and his son Jesus Christ did some terrible things in Jesus's time here on earth but have any considered the reasons for this action?Does any remember the promise that he made after he destroyed all the unholy or unworthy with the great flood?
I like science myself.I find it interesting and it contributes to humanity ( even with the thread of destroying humanity) but one of satans greatest tools and weopons is to make man believe that there is no God.And we are all cursed from the days of adam and eve with the thirst for knowledge.What does this mean? Is it the thirst for knowledge of the realism of God,or the thirst of knowledge to be like God?There also could be a category of those who wish to have knowledge over God,this brings us to the devil the hater of Gods creation.
One must really sit back and think about these words here..."there was a war in heaven,satan and his angels rose up against God and his angels." This sentence brings infinite wonder to my mind of just what is heaven like,how will heaven be,what will we do in heaven?Fall to the other side now and ask what would it be like if you were not to go to heaven,what awaits a soul there?
Sorry imanutajoba ( iranian nut case)but what would jesus do? He would tell you that you are headed for the wrong place my friend and that there is only one way to change that path but he won't see it in your future or the zombie horde for that matter because you have no reguard for his creations much like the god allah has taught you to have none for because he hates them far more than you,because he is not the God that created them.he is the one that relishes and revels in the joy everytime he collects a zombie soul at the gate.
What would jesus do? You ask this of imperfect people who live by perfect words.What would allah do? We see it everyday still ,from the time of the twisted words sent to muhammad.We ask this of imperfect people with illusions of devine inteligence and guidence.Too bad allah had no time for the creation of compassion or a concience in the islamic mind.

The Shia also belive that Baghdad will be destroyed by a bolt from the sky...Mahmoud is building that bolt!...That should serve as a warning about our troops in Iraq!
citycat,
Have you left Islam?
Naseem,
Nice attempt at a Christmas story. Good to see you getting into the spirit.
Have you read Athanasius, On the Incarnation, yet? You still need some help understanding the Trinity.
Dear Sasha:
You and Concerned Canadian and others (primarily Muslims who use it as a badge of honor) need to read up on the crusades.
First, they didn't occur out of the blue. They were preceded by two-plus centuries of Muslim invasion, conquest and killing. Muslims were denying Christians access to the holy places of Jerusalem. (Sound familiar?)
Second, the crusades were not an attempt to wipe out Islam in the holy land. They were an attempt to free the Holy Sepulchre and the other historic areas of Jerusalem and prevent their destruction by Islamists.
Third, even then Muslims preferred to live under Christian rule. What does that say about Islam in its "golden age"?
Lastly, the crusades were just another of many skirmishes that were occurring between the Byzantine and Islamic empires. They affected only a fraction of the Middle East and actually fragmented Muslims, rather than uniting them. At their height they meant nothing to Iraq and the caliphate, or to Iran and central Asia.
Unlike the Islamic conquests, the crusades were not a drive to control the world, but a limited endeavor with specific goals. Today they make great propaganda for Islamists, to the point that the very word "crusade" is offensive, but then again Muslims have a deep persecution complex. It's what keeps them going.
The words of a Spanish scholar of the time are revealing and should be presented to any Muslim living in the West:
"There can be no excuse in the eyes of God for a Muslim to stay in any infidel country, except when passing through it."
Sounds like they prefer apartheid.
Dar al-harb
I appreciate your honesty.
Jesus said he first came with love but they do not welcome HIm, but the next time He comes, He will come with a whip.
In the book of revelations says He will pour the cup of wrath.
"Fear not those who can kill you, but fear He who can kill your soul" He said.
I escaped from the Islamic persecutions. I am a living testimony.
What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today?
Jesus never left us - he is always with us.
What would Jesus DO?
He would condemn Islam for teaching first-degree murder!
And he would (we think) condemn creeps like Ahmadinejad for being mass murderers.
You and Concerned Canadian and others (primarily Muslims who use it as a badge of honor) need to read up on the crusades.

I don't see how the Crusades are relevant to my question about Religion getting in the way of peace. and it feels weird being lumped with Muslims as far as your point goes. really weird. So stop!.lol
I come here because i do Get what Islam is and the threat it faces. I'm no Dummie, er i mean Dhimmi! LOL.
i READ Roberts book the " P.I.G guide to Islam and the Crusades " and his other books too. I get it . i know that the Crusades were not an offensive act , but defensive.
I just asked a simple Question. Being that i don't follow any Religion myself ,so from my POV it gets a bit strange and scarey to see chapter and verse Quoted back and Forth. I see it more as Islam as a Violent Runaway Cult that is against all things pure, good and Right in the World. NOT just other Religions like Christianity. We are all in this fight, not just your people.
So no offence but don't assume i'm uneducated about Islam. i am not.

Thanks for that information PMK. My point was actually that people have been killed in the name of religion. That was all. And I did think that was relevant to your question about Religion getting in the way of peace Concerned Canadian.
But I could have misunderstood you. I'll pay more attention in the future. Bad analogy? Perhaps but I'm no dummie either.
Lighten up people. We're all on the same side. I know what you meant Sash.
"don't assume i'm uneducated about Islam. i am not."

Well i certainly was not looking to offend Christians, Hence my saying " No offence "
Also i don't think all religions are Evil, I'm certainly not one of those people either.
The point i was making is that i don't see it helpful to throw Religious Doctrine back and Forth. Will that really help? That's what i meant by " Fueling the Fire "
But Islam IS considered a Mainstream Religion, like Christianity and i was making a point about that. I personally Think Islam is a Violent Dominating Cult, Unlike peaceful Religions.
I guess i don't see the Crusades thing as relevant cause i was in no way implying that Christians were aggressive or that Muslims are Victims . Cause they are Both , not
Did anyone fail to point out to the little iranian with the Napolian Syndrome that Jesus was a Jew?
Even if they argue that point they say he was only a prophet and not the Son of God, so....a mere man....but again, born of a Jew.
And the opression that Jesus will be 'wiping out'could be viewed in Ahmadinejad's mirror. I would be happy if Jesus would wait a while and let the U.S. Marines take care of the problem.
Although there are a couple of chapters in the Bible that talk about Israel wiping out Persia, destroying all buildings and killing all plants, and flocks will not be able to graze in Persia. It sounds to me that Israel may be taking care of Persia with a little glow in the dark method.
Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.
Nobody is assuming that CC. You said:
"But does anyone think that Religion itself might be the problem here? All this in the Name of God?It's all pretty Perverse if you ask me."

Not a fair Question?
And saying i need to learn about the Crusades implies i am Ignorant about Islams History.
anyway , let's all be friends.
We are on the same team at JW.
At least i feel we are.
Someone point out that Jesus is present in our world today. Unlike Allah or Mohammod. Allah was created in the imagination of a pedophile (Mohammod)that was a man and died with no powers or authority.
Naseem,
Thank-you for enlightening me to the truth about Jesus. However, I now feel sorry for the 2.1 billion people (one-third population of Earth) who are still being fooled by that ancient crucifixion nonsense. Why won't those foolish billions acknowledge that the truth was finally revealed 600+ years later in the Qur'an which is the perfect, unquestionable truth for all mankind for all time?
Perhaps when the muddy spring is located where the sun sets (Surah 18:86 of the "perfect" Qur'an) those billions of fools will finally recognize truth.
I agree CC. Sash was trying to give an answer. Maybe she should have used Northern Ireland--Protestants against Catholics as an example of bad things done in the name of Religion. I dont know. but I think her heart was in the right place and I got the point.
It's all good Sasha . I know nobody meant to offend. Least of all me.
Let's move on.
Back to Ahmadinejerk and his insanity! , lol
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God Who was slain before the foundation of the world:
DiscipleofJesusChrist, that is a fascinating comparison. Thanks for that study.
It provides clear evidence that Mohammed's "visions" were not just mental illness or epilepsy, but structured revelations from the enemy of men's souls, Satan.
A very merry Christmas to all of you, and may we all be given abundant discernment to sift through the enormous amount of information we all have access to through the internet. Truth is truth, no matter how often people say it is not.
To Concerned and Sasha:
My apologies. I meant no offense.
Sasha, you brought up the crusades in your post and Concerned started with talking about the bad things that have been done in the name of religion. That is usually code for the Crusades whenever the Middle East comes up.
Sorry if I offended you. It wasn't intended.
Thanx PMK. I shouldn't have used that as an example [hitting self in the head with a hammer]! You're exactly correct.
It's cool PMK / Sasha. ( Smile )
Thats right SSA. There is no amount of torture,no amount of pain one could recieve from this world delivered by a mere man that should make you rebuke the true God and his Son.
Why? Because the father punishes even after death and for eternity with a far harsher punishment.
SSA,May i ask you a question? you say you survived the scourage of islam? If by that you mean you converted from islam let me ask you this.
Do muslim husbands and wives tell eachother they love one another? Do the parents tell thier kids they love them?
You see love is very powerful,it could bring down the fireiest jihad.It could even silence the most powerful mullah.If allah isn't loving his children,maybe his children should start loving eachother.
NASEEM,this comment is for you.It must be hard to be muslim but a non muslim.Oh how you must long for a country,a soul without a country.How goes the plans to islamize the west? Decided yet which sect will be the big boss? will there be any of us infedels to witness the religions of peace fighting one another to see who is the most peaceful and deserves to rule the world.
You make me laugh naseem,but you make me sad too.You see i know you are lost so lost you search for a way to make your existance when you have been given one.You have been given an existance and a purpose.What purpose naseem? That depends on which existance you decide to reside in.
But enough on naseem,i feel he /she just comes for the attention but is surely and tremendously lost.
City cat Didn't muhammad pay writers or poets and didn't he have the verses of the torrah brought to him?
I was under the impression that he even killed one or two because he either wasn't satisfied with thier work or just didn't want to pay. (probably the latter)
Also people keep saying how iliterate muhammad was,yet they make him out to be so briliant as to be able to create the sytems in islam.Perhaps this is proof that he was visited by an inteligent being,JUST NOT THE GOOD ONE THEY ALL THINK!!!!!
Since we're quoting the Scriptures here, I like to provide the quote that I'm reminded of when Muslims talk:
"Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
'This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me, but in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'
"Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men." Mark 7:6-8
#1 rule is never ask a question that you don't want an answer to- Mahmoud- Jesus would annihilate you and anyone else that have oppressed his people and murdered them and been hostile to God's word. Bible lesson over! http://sacredscoop.com

Here is a good metal band that is on the right track.

So Jesus will return with this Mahdi character, break the cross and kill all non Muslims? Call me stupid but I don't buy this at all. I didn't when I read the Koran and I don't buy it now. Leave it to Islamania to take anything and everything in order to defile it and advance their warped causes.
I can tell you what Jesus would'nt do, and maybe a little of what he would do:
He wouldn't relegate females to the status of goats and camels, and, at best, a piece of property.
He wouldn't put females at the mercy and disposal of Males for purely sexual gratification.
He wouldn't permit frightened 9 year girls to be given in marriage to men 50 yrs their senior.
He wouldn't permit decapitation of those who reject him for whatever reason.
He wouldn't allow for Women to be buried up to their necks and stoned for sexual indiscretions.
He wouldn't allow for the cutting off of arms and legs because he felt insulted by someone.
He wouldn't call Jews and Christians pigs and Apes.
He wouldn't promise young men a place in his Kingdom if they kill themselves and others in his name.
He wouldn't permit forced conversion of those who reject him.
He wouldn't glorify violence against anyone.
He wouldn't allow lieing and deception to promote his cause.
He wouldn't take second place to any false Prophets.
He would free Any Muslim from spiritual bondage if asked.
Allah's Apostle said ... He (Jesus) ... will ... abolish the Jizya tax.
Yes, He certainly will; however, it won't go down quite the way the "apostle" predicted.
muhammad will confess, his knee will bow, and then he will be cast into the lake of fire.
And , maybe, if Gabriel's in a good mood, he will reveal to muhammad the fallen angel who masqueraded as him in that Arabian cave so long ago.
What would Jesus do?
Just stand back, you are about to find out.
Read the Revelation of Jesus Christ. He is no suffering sacrifice this time.
The lake of fire is prepared for the devil and his associates. allah and his murdering hordes will find themselves on the wrong side of God.
What would Jesus do? Jesus would clearly and plainly tell us that Mahdi is the anti-Christ his prophets have warned the world about. Then, Jesus would ask us Christians use patience and gentile persuasion to convent the deceived Muslims to Christianity.
On the other hand, what would Mahdi do? He would denounce Jesus, and tell Christians to convert to Islam or die by the sword. I expect the jizya tax would no longer be an option.
"Perhaps this is proof that he was visited by an inteligent being,JUST NOT THE GOOD ONE THEY ALL THINK!!!!!"
Dare I ask ? Like the Enlil/Jehovah?
The more I read this site and hear and read of islam and the koran, the more the hair in my back of my neck stand up. This "angel" that gave the "message" to mo' - may be no angel after all. IF we read this right, some beings out there hate us to death.

Jesus said, "I am the way, and the Truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father except by me."
Your above post was full of lies, and yet you claim to seek the truth. Jesus was either who He said He was, or He was a lunatic.
Jesus said, "I and my Father are One", which makes Him equal to God; and if you reject Christ's death and resurrection, then God will not hear you. The God you serve is not the true God, but Satan himself.

Well, I can't speak for my Lord, but I can speak for ME, as well as those before and after me, who believe the same thing, and have given their time, and even their very lives for what we believe-life, liberty and the pursuit of all who threaten it:
"The path of the righteous man is best on all sides by the iniquities of the wicked, and the tyranny of evil me. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brothers keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you shal know I am the Lord thy God when I heap my vengeance upon thee."

This man is clearly off his rockers, does he even know the meaning of 'oppression'? Posted by Raulb
The word "oppression" has an entirely different meaning to muslims than it does to the rest of us. In fact, all words have different meanings to them and us. This may sound ridiculous, but it's a fact. For example, to defend oneself against jihad is considered "aggression against islam." When the jihad advances to the point of armed conflict, you either convert, die, or become a slave. God forbid you try to defend yourself and you are captured. If you are a male, you'll either be executed or enslaved. If you are a female, you'll be gang raped and become a sex slave. If you are a child, you'll be gang raped and enslaved.
From a muslim perspective, muslims will be oppressed as long as non-muslims exist. As long as anything stands in the way of a worldwide islamic caliphate, muslims are "oppressed." There is simply no logic or reason in islam.
The islamic indoctrination process is almost foolproof and by the time muslims are adults, the programming is all but hard wired in their brains. Think about it---ritual prayers 5 times a day, every day, seven days a week, from childhood to death. Rules that control every minute aspect of life, twenty-four hours a day, even one's thoughts! Absolutely no spontaneity whatsoever---there are rules for how to eat, sleep, dress, have sex, use the toilet, bathe, cross a threshold, how to think, how to speak, etc., etc. etc. No free expression, creativity, independence, freedom. Islam regulates every moment of a person's life. People who submit to slavery to a medieval ideology and a malevolent, cruel, capricious, unknowable deity are hardly logical or rational. Only fear could inspire such devotion and irrationality, fear of allah.
Would he even bother with them?

Is the eschatological fervor, bordering on irrationality, of al-Sadr and Ahmadinezhad not worthy of some consideration? One might think it would somewhat complicate the “can’t we all just get along?” approach that Baker and Hamilton seem to be promoting. The flip side of the coming of the Mahdi is the emergence of al-Dajjal, “the Deceiver” of the Islamic traditions—an anti-christ figure who will lead many believers astray and into apocalyptic battle against the forces of the Mahdi and the returned Muslim prophet Jesus. And the Dajjal, by the way, will be Jewish. How, pray tell, does the U.S. negotiate with folks who not only hold but configure their politics around beliefs like that? Yes, of course, George Bush believes Jesus will return—but has he prayed publicly for that to happen in the well of the U.N. General Assembly, as Iran’s president has done regarding the Mahdi? WWJD—“What Would Jesus Do?”—is not a question bandied about at Bush Administration Cabinet meetings; I am not sure that the same can be said of “WWMD?”—“What Would (the) Mahdi Do?”—in Ahmadinezhad’s strategy meetings.

What Jesus would do is already very clearly documented. He would revive the Mu'tazilah sect of Islam and then ally with the Christians et al to go to jihad against the non-Mu'tazilah. This is obvious for anyone who has even basic morality. Unfortunately, Christians and Muslims were both found to be lacking the most basic of morality.
Everything you need to know is at www.mutazilah.org
What would Jesus do?
He would be doing what his is doing now, as the Good Shepard, looking for all the lost sheep that have been scatured by the enemy. This includes those who call themselves Muslims and bring them back into the sheepfold. It is happening now, more people are coming to faith in the Lord.
Merry Christmas to all who post here and to the staff of the JW/DW website. God Bless.
The mother of Prophet Isa (pbuh) was called Maryam. Some peoples also call her Mary . She was a very pious woman and once, an angel of Allah (SWT) Allah (SWT) came to her and said:
”Soon you will have a son”. “But how can I have a son?” Maryam asked. “I have no husband”. The angel replied: “Allah (SWT) is almighty, when He wishes something, then it will happen. You will have a son, and his name shall be Isa (pbuh), and he will be a great prophet of Allah (SWT) (SWT)”.
Later Maryam returned to her family. They were very curious about the child and asked: “How did you get him?”
We all know what would happen next in Islamic society. Either Mary would be killed for family honor or she would be lashed 100 times for fornication. Alternatively, there were pretty good odds she would be killed for adultery. Allah being wise, mercificul and compassionate ordained however, that she would only be killed after the birth of her baby, Jesus.
I know one thing, Jesus wouldn't be threatening to kill all Jews.

What would Jesus say?
The Iran Slugthug asks "What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries? Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?" the Iranian president asked.
Jesus would say root out these muslim slime who are residing in Christian countries and kill them!
That's what Jesus would say!
Biblical Jesus would say spread the good news Gospel to all people.
Is his word being spread in Islamic countries? I think not. Another thing, do Muslims know how to convert people other than force people to believe in the most depraved ways. The definition of evangerlism to extreame Muslims is with a sword next to the unbeliever. Otherwise our equivelents are the Jehover Witnesses. Do they ask 'Why is he an unbeliever?'If they did it's because the world is not just about Islam maybe, they don't understand that Islam is a minority number to the rest of the world's population and other cultures and beliefs exists. It's not like the West teaches Islam like they do and then they have freedom to not believe.
If Muslim countries were to open to freedom of choice then Islam would cave in and people would not run to the West to get away from it. It's a sad situation and I also think they should know who Jesus of the Gospel is rather than have a one way view of him.
"He's punching everyone's buttons now - Christians, Jews...who is next? Will he suggest a holocaust against Bhuddists and Hindus next? "
Who is next? He's already declared war on the Sunnis. He's next, naturally.
What if Bush spoke like this? I know he has done worse with war but what if prior that he was speaking like the Iranian president had? He would have been voted out. But at least he is honest I give him that to Ahmadinejihad.

Thanks for the link. What a great poem - I'm sending it to everyone I know for Christmas.
It sickens me to hear the Muslim Midget even mention Christianity.
I think that you will see more clearly what is really happening in the minds of the 'messianic' leadership of Iran, Saudi Arabia et al if you take one step back from the original question. Imagine that the person asking was Mohammed rather than Achmanwhatadinnerjacket! Bear in mind that Mo did ask both Jews and wandering 'christians' about their holy books, all the better to deceive Arabs with... and this was relatively easy to do, it seems (such is the Supremacy of the Arab mind and language).
When Mohammed had finished cobbling together the appropriate 'revelations' concerning himself, as to now be found in the earlier Judeo-Christian scriptures, he was met with derisive laughter and mockery, not only from those same Jews but also from fellow Arabs. Why? Because his summations were so infantile and illegiterate (illiterate and without decent lineage) that they could warrant nought else. Just to show them who he was, he then adjusted those same revelations so as to now incorporate the worst form of death upon any who mocked Allah (the Q'ran) or his "profit". Neat, huh?
Achmanwhatadinnerjacket is no different. He thinks to appeal to a community as diametrically opposite his as any that can be found anywhere and earns only derisive laughter and mockery, for the same reasons as his super hero role model. So, for his benefit, I offer Christianity 101. All Moslems, messianic or otherwise... take note.
In the Beginning, there was the Logos (Word)... and the Logos spoke often with Man. He gave to Man a Name to call Him by and that Name is YHWY (pronounced YAHWEH). It translates as I AM. It can, by no stretch of the imagination, be transliterated into Allah, since both Hebrew and Arabic have common Semitic roots, including YH.
At a previously designated moment in time, YHWY gave to us His Only begotten Son and commanded that He be named YASHUA, which means 'God is Salvation'. We know Him as Jesus. Yashua is the Messiah. He came, He spoke, He healed, He gave to those who believe on Him the power to overcome and to perform miracles, just as He Himself did. However, He retains for Himself exclusively the role of Messiah. When He returns He will say NOTHING. The earth itself will groan in recognition of the Hand that created all things, since Father & Son are parts of the One True I AM. All that needed saying was said, and all the things thus said were recorded in what we call the New Testament. As with all aspects of Yashua's physical, human Ministry, He spoke His last words on Calvary's cross. It is finished.
End of Lesson 1.
Amen

What a waste of a nice Christian up-bringing.
Awake~ I took a quick look at that site also, not trusting anything in the way of an islamic website... it falls just short of advertising Cool-Aid.
At the same time, I am surprised nariz didn't put in an appearance on this thread, to tell us we've all gotten it wrong. Maybe the zipper on his Grinch outfit got stuck?
Dar al-harb
The Koran says that women and children are from the devil; of couse, Muslims will not own to it.
Accordingly, women and children can prevent man from following Allah 100%.
Muslims cover their women because they are just to ugly and repulsive for general viewing.
When a young Muslim man gets to see a woman's ankle, inspite of what under the black cloth, he can get very horney--by just that.
One of my uncles, had desired to marry a woman, a nice looking girl at one time, he discovered in his childhood; he went to her father to offer his hand in marriage, came home cheerfully thinking he had gotten a good deal; however, only after the wedding processian, had he discovered that the father had delivered his older daughter, the ugliest in town, to be my uncle's wife. My uncle is a very good man, he is still, today, married to her, one and only wife, after more than 50 years. Luckily, his children are taking his good looks, not his wife's.
Does that ring the bell? Isn't it what Leban did to Issac by giving him Leah instead of Rachel, whom he promised to give?
Jesus never cut peoples head's off.Mohammad on the other hand did.
Jesus was less than pleased when one of His own Disciples attacked one of those who came for Him at Gesthemane (sp). Mo on the other hand praised those who went out and killed people he was unhappy with.
And I challenge any muslim reading here- you too, nariz! - to prove otherwise.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you all. For all politically correct moonbats.......move to Europe.
Firstly, MUSLIMS believe in ANOTHER JESUS....NOT the Jesus of the Bible. REMEMBER....if something is different...it is NOT the same.
Their Jesus was only a prophet, not the WORD of God.
Their Jesus was not the Son of God.
Their Jesus was a muslim, not a Jew.
Their Jesus did not die on the cross (so did not pay for the sins of the world) but instead THEIR Jesus had a look-alike take his place on the cross (poor bloke) and then their sneaky Jesus floated off to heaven.
Their Jesus is supposed to come back to kill the Jews and Christians.
So, once again, the monkey has no clue what he is talking about. It is in the best interest of Christians (those who actually believe in the Bible) to wake up and become aware of what islam believes. NOT to suck up to islam with the ecumenical rubbish and say, like our ignorant policians, that Islam has the same god. This is a complete lie, straight from the pit of hell.
THEIR god is NOT Jehovah. Allah is the moon god (Babylonian religion) and is a false demonic god.
Sasha said:
"The early Crusaders, for example, had a very imperfect understanding of Christianity. By misinterpreting scripture, based on the limited knowledge they had at the time, they killed out of the name of religion."
Such words can only come from someone who is ignorant about Crusades, the medievals, Christianity, and history.
First of all, the Crusades were defending what was left of their land which was continually ravaged and attacked by Islamic armies since the 8th century (Spain, for example, fell in AD 711). They were also responding to the call of their Christian brothers in Byzantium, who were about to succumb to the reign of Islam (which eventually happened in 1453).
Secondly, how many sermons from the times of the Crusades have you read ? do you have ANY IDEA how Christian the people were, how faithful they were to the words of Christ, how imbued with the Gospel ? It is enough that St. Bernard, Doctor of the Church, played a pivotal role in founding the Order of the Knight Templars. Have you ever read something for St. Bernard ? I highly doubt it. The only people with "limited knowledge" are those who repeat what they have heard even though it's a plain lie.
Crusades not only helped saving what was left of eastern Christianity (which, being a Maronite myself, I can confirm), they are the reason why Europe was not completely enslaved by the armies of Islam. Stop insulting these heroes who sacrificed their lives for our sake, for freedom's sake, for Christ's sake, because "greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
These true heroes went into untold dangers, going into an unknown land, to protect their families, their countries, their brothers. They were not afraid to put down their lives for the sake of others. They are true heroes, but the West, engulfed in its unbelief and historical coma, refuses to give them their due honor, because these brave Crusaders embodied almost everything that opposes the current values that the West now espouses.
When I read such ungrateful words that unjustly humiliate such heroic men, it makes me see that the West really deserves to be enslaved by Islam.
JohnMaron~ Sasha's not being ungrateful. Like many here including myself (even though I have read quite a bit on the Crusades), she still has much to learn. A person can spend Years on just one small part of history, yes? If I may ask, how many years have you put into the Crusades? I've spent nearly 30 years reading history and doubt I've made much of a dent yet. (It doesn't help that you can plug a name like Averroes into the local library comp and it says it can't find anything. Hell, it took them 6 weeks to find me a book by Sayyid Qutb).
To Sasha’s credit, she spoke with excellent clarity and truth about Christianity. She possesses a deep understanding of Christ, and for that I commend her.
I was impressed by what she wrote about Christ’s purpose, and I was going to note it but forgot; but some of you gave me reason to do so later.
Evvery one here,is talking about the 2nd coming of Jesus - don't you get it that it's the Christ within us- Jesus is not returning anyway. He's always been here.

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
He's coming back.

Er, no. If you had been, you would have done everything you could to liberate the world and end human rights abuses. E.g. what are you doing to stop Iranian women from being raped by their own government right now? If you had this basic morality - the basic desire to protect women from rape, you would have had Jesus in you. You don't. Only one person on the planet had that basic desire and the decency and critical thinking skills to follow it through. But absent of both common decency and critical thinking skills, you won't be able to see it. I'll give it to you again. www.mutazilah.org
Here is a concise history of the crusades in Lebanon:
http://cedarland.org/crusleb.html
Many Lebanese Christians died fighting for and against both sides, but one has to wonder how many people would have been saved if the West had mounted another crusade in the 20th century to save the Christians in Lebanon. How many would have been saved in southern Sudan?
Thanks for the link, MrTommyAtkins. I wonder if anyone has done similar analysis on the Saudi gene pool?

does this sound like satan to you?
SURAH 4}157-158,They even say: "We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the
Messenger of Allah." Whereas in fact, neither did they kill him nor did they crucify him
but they thought they did because the matter was made dubious for them. Those
who differ therein are only in doubt. They have no real knowledge, they follow
nothing but merely a conjecture, certainly they did not kill him (Jesus).[157] Nay! The
fact is that Allah took him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty, Wise.[158]
Tafsir al-Jalalayn :SURAH 4}-157-158
And for their saying, boastfully, 'We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God', as they claim: in other words, for all of these [reasons] We have punished them. God, exalted be He, says, in repudiating their claim to have killed him: And yet they did not slay him nor did they crucify him, but he, the one slain and crucified, who was an associate of theirs [the Jews], was given the resemblance, of Jesus. In other words, God cast his [Jesus's] likeness to him and so they thought it was him [Jesus]. And those who disagree concerning him, that is, concerning Jesus, are surely in doubt regarding, the slaying of him, for some of them said, when they saw the slain man: the face is that of Jesus, but the body is not his, and so it is not he; and others said: no, it is he. They do not have any knowledge of, the slaying of, him, only the pursuit of conjecture (illā ittibā'a l-zann, is a discontinuous exception) in other words: 'instead, they follow conjecture regarding him, that which they imagined [they saw]'; and they did not slay him for certain (yaqīnan, a circumstantial qualifier emphasising the denial of the slaying).
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs:surah 4}157
(And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger) Allah destroyed their man Tatianos. (They slew him not nor crucified, but it appeared so unto them) Allah made Tatianos look like Jesus and so they killed him instead of him; (and lo! those who disagree concerning it) concerning his killing (are in doubt thereof) in doubt about his killing; (they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture) not even conjecture; (they slew him not for certain) i.e. certainly they did not kill him,
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs:surah 4}158
(But Allah took him up unto Himself) in heaven. (Allah was ever Mighty) in His vengeance against His enemies, (Wise) by granting triumph to his friends: He saved His Prophet and destroyed their man
>>>The questions begs to be asked: what was the purpose of allah decieving all those present at the crucifixion of Jesus?
Allah is a deciever?
Proof isa is not Jesus, would Jesus permet an innocent man to take his place and die on the cross in his stead?
In the qu'ran allah states maryam the mother of jesus was among the rightious yet here he claims he decieved her into believing it was her son nailed to the cross as she knelt at his feet weeping over the death of her son!
The questions begs to be asked: if this allah dood was all that, all wise, all knowledgable, all powerful, why didnt allah simply take isa up infront of all those present at his crucifixion and prove with a miracle who this allah dood is!
allah just dont stand up to a little scrutiny!
one begins to question allah and allah runs off like ma gump on steroids!
incase you dont know allah admits in the qu'ran Jesus is the begotten son of G*d!
read surah 66}_12,Another example is in the life of Mary, the daughter of `ImrAn, who guarded her chastity, and into whose womb We breathed of Our spirit, who testified to the words of her Lord, and His scriptures, and was one of the obedient.[12]
Into whose womb We(allah) breathed of our
(allahs) spirit!
you will find in the different translation of the qu'ran used in america the word "womb" in this ayah has been changed to sleeve or body, however; the original word used in arabic is "farjarah" which means "private parts"!
muslims seek to hide this fact cause it creates many problems for allah and islam!
First, allah claims all he needs do to create life is utter the word "be" and he creates life!
That leaves the question to be asked, ,if all allah needs do to create life is utter the word be, why is allah breathing something of the spirit(ruh) of allah into a virgins private parts?
muslims answer this by saying it wasnt allah breathing into the virgins womb , but it was an angel sent by allah to maryam.
This causes another problem for allah and islam , for qu'ran states only allah can create life, muslims seek to claim an angel created jesus by breathing something of the spirit( ruh) of allah into maryams womb. This makes an angel equal with allah . thats called "shirk" in islam!giving associates or partners to allah!
If there is nothing to hide, why change the original from farjarah(private parts) which allah claims to have breathed into, to sleeve or body?
another way the muslims seek to dismiss this ayah is to claim it was abrogated by allah, which means this was another one of those satanic revelations muhammad recieved from satan and added to the qu'ran! which is claimed to be the reason for causing allah to find the need to abrogate some surahs!
>>>SURAH 22}_52-53-Never have We sent a Messenger or a prophet before you, O Muhammad, with whose wishes Satan did not tamper; but Allah abrogates the interjections of Satan and confirms His own revelations, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[52] He makes Satan’s interjections a temptation for those whose hearts suffer from the disease of hypocrisy and whose hearts are hardened - that’s why the wrongdoers are in such an extreme dissension[53]
now this ayah and the tafsir to it is quite interesting. they admit the perfect man muhammad was decieved by satan into accepting satanic revealtion and adding them to the qu'ran.
notice in the ayah above allah claims these satanic revelations are permitted to remain in the qu'ran as a temptation to hypocrit muslims!
Who would have thought the qu'ran itself admits it is a book of satanic revelations!
now muslims are left with quite a dilemma. allah claims only allah knows the interpretation of the revelations in the qu'ran ,but he leaves satanic revelations for the muslims to decide which is revelations from allah and which are those from satan
(i suspect they are both the same)
Tafsir al-Jalalayn: surah 22}_52-53
And We did not send before you any messenger (rasūl) - this is a prophet who has been commanded to deliver a Message - or prophet (nabī) - one who has not been commanded to deliver anything - but that when he recited [the scripture] Satan cast into his recitation, what is not from the Qur'ān, but which those to whom he [the prophet] had been sent would find pleasing. The Prophet (s) had, during an assembly of the [men of] Quraysh, after reciting the [following verses from] sūrat al-Najm, Have you considered Lāt and 'Uzzā? And Manāt, the third one? [53:19-20] added, as a result of Satan casting them onto his tongue without his [the Prophet's] being aware of it, [the following words]: 'those are the high-flying cranes (al-gharānīq al-'ulā) and indeed their intercession is to be hoped for', and so they [the men of Quraysh] were thereby delighted. Gabriel, however, later informed him [the Prophet] of this that Satan had cast onto his tongue and he was grieved by it; but was [subsequently] comforted with this following verse that he might be reassured [of God's pleasure]: thereat God abrogates, nullifies, whatever Satan had cast, then God confirms His revelations. And God is Knower, of Satan's casting of that which has been mentioned, Wise, in His enabling him [Satan] to do such things, for He does whatever He wishes.That He may make what Satan has cast a trial, a test, for those in whose hearts is a sickness, dissension and hypocrisy, and those whose hearts are hardened, namely, the idolaters, [hardened] against acceptance of the truth. For truly the evildoers, the disbelievers, are [steeped] in extreme defiance, [in] a protracted feud with the Prophet (s) and the believers, for his tongue uttered mention of their gods in a way that pleased them, and yet this was later nullified.
Now the question begs to be asked, how can these satanic revelations be a temptation to hypocrits muslims if these satanic revelations are not permitted to remain in the qu'ran?
Warning: if you choose to uses these ayahs and tafsir to debate muslims, be sure and keep a loaded pistol under your table! these ayahs and tafsir will drive the most moderate muslim to desire to seperate you from your head!
Naseem, this one is especially for you!
I have put the top on islams cofin. Now im ready to drive the nails into the top and bury islam.
According to allah and muhammad, the qu'ran and sunnah and all the unholy books of islam, Adam and all of Adams off spring were muslims!
Yet allah drowned all those muslims in the flood of Noahs day because allah claims these "muslims" were an evil, wicked ,vile people. Out of a world full of muslims allah saved only Noah and his family,who were muslims.
So then Noah and his family went on to repopulate the earth with more muslims.But again allah looked upon the earth and found these muslims to be an evil, wicked, vile people so he looked upon abram and found abram to be the only rightious man among a world full of evil wicked vile muslims.
Allah chose abram and blessed him and his seed and made abram the first of the nonmuslims and called them hebrews!
Islam, may you rot in hades!

Your reply made me laugh.Not laughing to make fun of you.
from your reply i can see your uncle skipping and humming and maybe bragging to his buds that he has a hot little wife on the way,only to win the hand of the ugliest of the village.....too funny!
However i take it from your reply there is no sharing of the words love in islam between husband and wife and therefore the children either.
I suppose others would think you were a bit goofy if you walked around telling your camel or goats that you love them.This is the feeling i get in islam between a man and a woman (or cattle).
It is the saddest thing i would have to say i have ever heard that people in islam can't say to the ones they love that they love them,or get to choose who to recieve thier love.
I may not be a scholar in religion but i think i can be correct in saying God put all on this planet to be more and to witness more than slavery and to be owned by another soul and all.
I find it safe to say as well that any book of religion that states that one gender or ethnicity is to be controlled by another is not a book with the words of God.
There is a reason we are all different and speak different languages as well.
I can say this with the most faith i can iterject into a paragraph and that is that a true and loving God would in no way give a man permission to rape a female,to take what is not his and she be punished for it too.
Islam is to tell me that a mans hand may be removed from his wrist by stealing a loaf of bread,but to steal anothers life and soul is to be commended and deemed heroic?
I can tell you i keep a personal log when the islamic leaders spout out what islam has to offer and give reason to me why i should become zombyfied.
The log is rather interesting and quite eye opening and definitely mind boggling.My main question to myself is "what would any inteligent person see in islam?Is it the women slaves?Is it the other slaves?What is it that educated minds see in islam? I ,to this day have not one single answer.
Sorry for the ramble people.
Standing in the light till the day of days!
Dar al-harb
What is it that educated minds see in islam? I ,to this day have not one single answer.
Dar al-harb
then you my friend havnt listened to the muslims!
according to many islamic scholars today there are scientist who have stated they have read the qu'ran and because of the science withoing the covers of the book they believe it did and is indeed the revelations from G*d!
they can even cite you the names of these scientist!
Never mind scientist spend their lives seeking to prove there is no G*d!
but the muslims "pay" these scientist large sums of money to scream to the world they believe the qu'ran are the revelations from G*d.
The same with Doctors, there have been doctors who have recieved large sums of money from muslims to state they have read of the embroyonic stages of a baby in the qu'ran and now they are convinced the qu'ran is the revelations from G*d!
ofcourse these scientist and doctors never convert to islam!
hey Robert -or- Hugh,
Could you inform me and these posters why my post of the topic was removed? Did I violate a specific rule and/or did you feel I was inflaming this topic.
THANKS

Did the False Prophet Mohammad ever proclaim he is I AM or God?
No, but when she turned age 9, Aisha said, "OH GOD!!!"
Hmmm...I was thinking she said something along the lines of "OOooWWWWWWW!!!!"

..........................
This is dealt with in Islam (sort of). Muslims just conveniently consider all prophets--Adam, Abraham, Jesus--to be Muslims, and the monotheistic religion they practiced to be Islam.
So what about all those pesky Jews and Christians? They are all basically apostate Muslims--either in error or hypocrites, not following the "true" monotheistic religion, which is Islam.
This is why the "interfaith" approach will never work, although a lot of earnest Jews and Christians so fervently hope it will.
Yes...an excercise in futility by well-intentioned, but hopelessly naive, people.
I distinctly remember that many Jews tried the same kind of thing in Europe during the hitler years, with disastrous results.
As my dad always taught me: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
Good stuff thndrbang1; useful for showing their hypocrisy.
Let me correct a statement I made in my previous post. Although not apparent in the link I provided (for obvious reasons), the Lebanese Christians fought alongside the crusaders, and took the brunt of the backlash when the crusaders fell or left. In fact, they have been fighting to maintain their faith in Christ in their native land long before and long after the crusades. In the last century, they tried to erect a free, tolerant and peaceful country, but the Islamists tore them down. They were devastated both in WWI, in the civil war, and constant terrorization; today Lebanon is a terrorist host.
Holy war is for Judgment Day. In the meantime, we can help our allies fight the Islamists. And I'm talking about Thailand, Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, soon France, etc.
Here is a link to information that disproves the "science" of the Quran:

gravenimage,
The fact that it does not suprise me that all that Jews and Christians hold dear would be thought of as being Muslim. All I can say is that the Muslim comunity must get its facts straight, the Jewish/Christians were around much, much, longer.
