Islamic tolerance alert: a Jihad Watch reader took these pictures in Nazareth in 2014, on the road that leads to the Church of the Annunciation. These signs were placed right in the faces of the people who walk to this church. In one of the pics you can see the top of the church. These signs are clearly anti Christian, and are in English because they’re meant to be read by the pilgrims who come from abroad.
KALU, O A says
Muslims are really cursed by their founder Mohammed. How a people can become so completely brainwashed by an illiterate highway robber and pedophile who died 1,400 yrs ago is beyond comprehension. And their backwardness in all indices of human development is not enough warning to them. Until they abandon that violent and hateful teaching, they will never catch up with the WEST and their envy and jealousy of the same will never end. The WEST should beware and stop pretending tha ISLAM i a religion. Winston was right – There is no greater RETROGRESSIVE force on earth than Islam.
b.a. freeman says
were things to remain the same, KALU, islamic culture, such as it is, indeed could never catch up to the west (or the east, or anybody else); however, muslims are *not* letting things remain as they are, and intend to *destroy* everybody who isn’t muslim. the moronic leaders and hard-core leftist thought leaders who rule western republics today are *deliberately* letting muslims destroy civilization, so that they can seize power and build their leftist utopia atop the ashes. i’m sure the nominally-leftist morons leading us wouldn’t do it if they understood what was happening, but they came up in leftist indoctrination centers rather than schools, and they don’t know how to think independently; consequently, they do what their thought leaders tell them they should do, and think the way they think, ensuring cover for pious muslims until society collapses under the attacks.
thus, we can kiss our a**es goodbye, because there isn’t enough time to reverse course before the crash comes. get ready for the coming civil wars.

The Koranic trinity includes Mary, because Mohammed was intentionally deceived and tricked by the person who informed the Koran.
Mohammed’s informant told him ‘verses from the Bible’ which were not actually in the Bible, but made up by the informant to turn Mohammed into a laughing stock.
Muslims cannot explain how Mary became a part of the Islamic version of the Trinity. The 3 historic creeds of the church were written 300 years before Mohammed and spelled out the Trinity.
Mohammed was a clueless desert cluck. A local yokel from Petra where Arabs worshipped rocks.
CogitoErgoSum says
It is evident from Quran 5:116 that Muhammad (or whoever wrote the Quran) believed that the Holy Trinity consisted of Allah, Jesus and Mary (the mother of Jesus). However, this was NEVER a part of Christian belief and a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit was well established by the time of the Council of Nicaea in 325, 300 years before the time of Muhammad.
The Allah of the Quran should know all of this but instead is shown in the Quran as asking Jesus if he spread the teaching that he and his mother were gods alongside Allah. That Allah would ask such a question indicates that Muhammad’s Allah does not know the truth concerning the Christian teachings about the Trinity and, thus, cannot be God. The writer of the Quran most likely made the same mistake that many who are unfamiliar with Catholicism make — that the Catholic reverence for Mary means that they think she is a goddess and an equal of God. Some Muslims try to sidestep this by saying they think the Angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit and THAT is what has been misunderstood by Christians. But if that were so. it still fails to explain why Allah would think that Jesus taught that his mother was a deity.
You are right, Mortimer. Muhammad was clueless about the Christian teachings concerning the Holy Trinity and, therefore, could not possibly be a prophet sent by God. If the Pope should ever speak again about the “proper” reading of the Quran and how it relates to Christianity he should address this matter (among others). I hope someday we will have a Pope who will.

“CEASE!It is better for you” koran 4:171
allah claims in his “perfect” koran to be the author of the Gospel which he says confirms the Torah….
“WE bestowed upon Jesus the Gospel wherein are guidance and light confirming that which was revealed before it in the Torah”
koran 5 v 46
“Let the people of the Gospel judge by what allah hath revealed therein”
koran 5 v 47
And WHAT did allah reveal in that Gospel , to those “people of the Gospel” {i.e Christians}which he claims he gave to Jesus?
{The existence of something important….that allah later denies in his koran}
God’s Holy Spirit of Wisdom.
In Matthew 4 11..That genuine prophet of God,st John the Baptist says..
“The one who will come after me will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and fire”
and when Jesus is baptized “the Spirit of God ” comes down “like a dove”{Note to muslims:this is not an actual talking dove..it is SYMBOLIC….the dove doesn’t speak ok?}This aspect of God is later amplified by Jesus into a Theological construct of Father,Son and Holy spirit:it is categorically NOT a polytheistic system.It is revealed that it is impossible to understand anything in Biblical prophecy correctly
without this Holy Spirit of God’s wisdom.see 2PETER1 V 21
A 3-leafed shamrock is ONE plant with 3 leaves:not 3 separate plants..
{a difficult concept it would appear for allah himself to grasp….muslims might accuse a shamrock of being guilty of Shirk…}
So given that allah, who claims to have written the Gospel ,reveals all this,you would think that the koran would confirm it and allah would at least understand the Theology behind it:But NO.
“Say not “three” CEASE!it is better for you!” in koran 4:171
So allah who claims he wrote the Gospel,reveals in his koran that a)he does not understand Theology and b)does not know the source of Biblical prophecy.
muslims don’t see this:Christians,however should ask how it is possible for allah not to know what God’s Holy Spirit of wisdom is,especially since allah claimed he WROTE THE GOSPEL{There’s no point explaining to islamic trolls…they just shout obscenities…at God and accuse christians of Shirk:but the accusation is FALSE as the concept of God in Christianity is monotheistic,not polytheistic}
The Trinity is not a polytheistic system:the fact that allah doesn’t get that,despite claiming he wrote the Gospel,is simply preposterous.And laughable.
allah’s claim in koran 3:3 that the koran confirms the Gospel(and Torah) is demonstrably FALSE
CEASE ! says allah.It is “better for you”..
Is it better that followers of allah DENY GOD’S wisdom and the source of Biblical prophecy {that allah,remember,revealed in the Gospel that he says he wrote}?
Why then did allah bother to reveal these things in the Gospel (he says he wrote) only to totally DENY them in the 7th century in his koran(which he claims to be the author of).That PROVES that the koran’s claim to CONFIRM the Bible in k3:3 is FALSE!.
the koran does NOT confirm the Gospel:it DENIES it!
allah’s theologically-challenged nature is a bit like this…
Student:Hey allah,how many sides are there in this Three-sided Tri-angle?
allah:say not “three” CEASE! it is better for you.
Student:Ok allah, a three-sided triangle has only one side
allah;excellent islamic student you are!say not “three”:it is so much better for you..

This is common for Muslims to defile or outright capture holy places see the Dome of the Rock. In India in the most important holysites in Mathura the birthplace of the incarnation of God according to Hindus like the Hare Krishnas there is a mosque on the site, placed there hundreds of years ago by conquering Jihadis.
Also at the birthplace of the incarnation-Avatar Rama in Ayodha there is a mosque. The holiest place in Benares has a mosque built out of the ruins of idols and Hindu Temples.
This happens throughout India and Europeans who are now mostly dhimmis should soon expect the same with their holy places being defiled or pulled down.
Nazareth is not under the Palestinian Authority but is in Israel proper and is often called the Arab Capital of Israel. The Israeli government could stop this.Write your Israeli ambassador to stop this Christianophobia.
Muhammad is a false prophet he said the Bible should be refered to by Christians and Jews and the contradicted the Bible by saying Christ neither rose from the dead nor was crucified [Qur’an, sura 4 (An-Nisa) ayat 157-158.]
You cannot believe in the authenticity of the Bible as Muhammad stated;The Poets (Al-Shu`ara’) 26:192-197, Middle Meccan.
“Verily this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. The Spirit of faith came down upon your heart with it that you might be one of the warners in the plain Arabic tongue. And truly it IS in the Scriptures (Zubur) of the former people. IS it not a sign to them that the learned of the Children of Israel RECOGNIZE it.”
Jonah (Yunus) 10:94, Late Meccan.
“If you (Muhammad) are in doubt regarding that which We have revealed to thee, ASK those who READ the book from before you…”
and believe in Muhammad.
If Christ rose from the dead Muhammad is a false prophet. If christ did not rise from the dead then Jesus is a false prophet the bible is false and Muhammad is false for saying that Christ and the Bible are true.
CogitoErgoSum says
Of course Muslims believe that the Bible was reliable when Jesus handed it down. So for the Bible to have become “corrupted” it must have happened sometime after Muhammad delivered those verses in the Quran telling Christians to refer to the Bible.
Nowhere does the current Bible teach that Mary or Gabriel are part of the Holy Trinity. That means the “pre-corrupt” Christian Bible Muhammad was reading must have said that Jesus taught that he and his mother were gods alongside Allah …. but that would be blasphemy (in the pre-corrupt Bible). Plus, if this Bible taught that Gabriel (and not Mary) was part of the Trinity why does Allah ask Jesus about his teaching concerning Mary. Allah should be asking Jesus to explain his teaching concerning the Angel Gabriel. AND ….. if Jesus taught that BOTH Mary and Gabriel were gods alongside Jesus and Allah ….. that makes FOUR. Why does Allah call upon Christians to cease speaking of THREE? The Trinity would actually be the Quadrangle.
IN NO WAY was Muhammad ever a messenger of God. To think that he was is an insult to God.

Even though I’m not a believer, and therefore have no special interest in Nazareth, I find this really offensive. Muslims are such bullying assholes whenever & wherever their numbers are large enough to permit it.
It makes no sense to allow Muslims to live in Israel, which should be a safe haven for Jews. Jewish Israelis have no moral obligation to allow genocidal, anti-Semitic savages to live among them. Muslims stole that land at sword-point; and they should be driven out at gunpoint.
R Russell says
Savvy Kafir,
Avi Livkin, a well known Israeli conference speaker says, ‘Bring them (The Muslims) to the Lord (Jesus) of they’ll bring you to the sword.’
Christians must pray that the Muslims will meet the real Jesus for that is the only way to prevent the slaughter.
Savvy Kafir says
R Russell — I’m not a Christian and don’t believe in the power of prayer. I believe we must fix our problems ourselves. Hence my suggestion that Israeli Jews should drive their Muslim enemies out of Israel.
Having Muslims come to Jesus is NOT the only way to prevent the slaughter of infidels. A more practical approach is to simply begin treating them like the enemies they most certainly are, and isolate them in Muslim-majority countries.
Countless Christians & Jews (and Hindus & Zoroastrians) have been slaughtered by Muslims while praying for deliverance. I think it’s time to get up off our knees and start fighting back.

It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.

Notice that Ibrahim itace muhammed does not grasp that all mainstream Christians are trinitarians, in their believing in the Trinity–a word he is not even capable of spelling correctly. He seems to think this was part of some obscure sect in ancient Yemen. Of course, this meaning that Christians ergo worship three deities is completely mistaken.
But despite Muslims being so profoundly ignorant about Christianity, they are happy to oppress and slaughter Christians on this basis.
And *of course* he has no problem with his coreligionists threatening Christians in Nazareth. But then, why would he?

hello, Ibrahim!
i have no doubt that profit muhammed (or his inventors, if he didn’t exist) had contact with christian heretics; many of them were mistreated and driven out of western africa into arabia. arabia was – and is – a *very* tough place to live, so nobody followed them, and their heresy apparently prospered, at least long enough to get into the quran. apparently, allah didn’t understand the trinity the way most christians of that time (and today) believe. i don’t hold it against him, because it just illustrates that he doesn’t really exist. i *do* hold it against profit muhammed, or his inventors, who created this vile criminal cult. i can’t do anything about them, because they are all long-dead, and will be dealt with by the real God at the judgement; i can, however, reach out to muslims and invite them to learn about Jesus and God for themselves. if U want to have a discussion rather than a name-calling session, let me know, and i’ll be glad to stop throwing rocks and start talking instead. deal?
CogitoErgoSum says
Ibrahim, you illustrate the deeply profound misunderstanding of Jesus and Mary that all Muslims seem to have. Christians would NEVER consider Mary to be a goddess because if she were it would mean that Jesus was not both God and man. There would be nothing at all human about Jesus if Mary were not fully human herself. Mary HAS to be a human being — a VERY special human being but a human being nonetheless. If anyone wonders why it took Jesus so long to come into the world as its Savior, it is quite likely because it took so long for a woman such as Mary to come along and remain pure of sin and to accept the will of God that she give birth as a virgin. Who knows how many women were considered and came close to being chosen but failed to remain free of sin or refused God because the burden would have been so great. Mary is EXTREMELY special which is why Catholics hold her in such great esteem.
As for your contention that Gabriel is actually the Holy Spirit, as I said above, if Mary were considered to be a goddess and Gabriel were to be considered part of the Trinity along with Jesus and Allah the total number of “gods” that Muslims think Christians worship would be FOUR. Allah in the Quran should be telling the Christians to cease saying FOUR — not three. Your brainwashing is so complete, Ibrahim, I am very doubtful if you will ever be able to understand what I am saying but perhaps there is some hope that in time you will ……. with the help of God. (Weren’t the Muslims supposed to be good at math at one time? This is just simple arithmetic.)
Anyway, if you can find proof of any Christians throughout history who thought Mary was a deity equal to God, please let me know. I’d love to read all about it … but I think it would make Mary the Christ and nullify the need for Jesus.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Cogitoergosum, there is no where in the Quran it is stated that Angel Gabriel is one of the 3 Gods of Christians. In the books of Tafsir the 3 persons, God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit (not Gabriel) making 3 Gods was mentioned couching Catholic belief in Arabia then(As commentators of the Quran often used the practice of Christians and Jews to illustrate Quranic verses talking about them) . Remember, when Catholic Christians from Najran in Yemen paid friendly visit to Prophet Muhammad in madina and he allowed them to pray in his grand mosque he observed that their mode of prayer resembled that of his brother in monotheism jesus except that they missed the truth that God is not Trinity (3 persons making one God).

CogitoErgoSum says
You told me the Holy Spirit is Gabriel and I have found other sources that confirm this. See this link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Spirit_in_Islam
Please note this paragraph taken from the linked article above:
“The Holy Spirit, as referred to by the phrase Ruh al-Qudus, is expressly mentioned four times in the Qur’an in sura 2 (Al-Baqara) ayat 87 [3], sura 2 (Al-Baqara) ayat 253 [4], sura 5 (Al-Ma’ida) ayat 110 [5] and sura 16 (An-Nahl) ayat 102 [6]. Three times mentioned in regard of Jesus.”
Nearly all Christians have believed in a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Now, I do concede there are some who call themselves Christians but who do not believe that Jesus was part of a Trinity. These people are called Unitarians and they think of Jesus as just a very special human being who was inspired by God. However, it would be completely illogical for a people who do not believe that Jesus was God to believe at the same time that Mary was a goddess — and so they do NOT view Mary as a deity.
I understand your problem in explaining why Alla would question Jesus about the divinity of Mary. The only explanation is that Muhammad simply did not understand the Christian concept of the Trinity or the Holy Spirit …….. and so his false god Allah does not understand it either. No matter how you look at it, Ibrahim, the Quran contains within itself proof that it is NOT from God.

Well here is my message to them:
1. We DON’T exceed any limits in our religion, nor do we fall short of measuring up to the truth.
2. We say nothing but the TRUTH about the ONE TRUE GOD, YAHWEH, and command you to do the same.
3. Jesus is the SON of God, God the Son, the 2nd person of the Trinity, and so is also God, and not only a messenger.
4. Mohammed was NOT a messenger of God at all, not even anything of God, but a messenger from the devil.
5. We do believe in God and HIS messengers, and His Son, Jesus Christ. Yes, Trinity. See #3.
And YOU should do the same. It would be much better for you.
6. Yahweh is the ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD, and NOT allah. JESUS is also the ONE TRUE GOD, and not allah.
7. His Holiness required that He have a Son through the Holy Spirit, a holy conception, in order to save those willing from their sins. See Bible.
8. His Holiness is far above sending out a lying deceiver like mohammed, who is actually from the devil, to lead people astray from the one true faith of Christianity.
Indeed!

Cogitoergosum, i said Archangel Gabriel is nicknamed as “Ruh Quddus (Holy Spirit) “because he is being sent by Allah to deliver spirits of life to all living creatures and divine messages to all Prophets, not a spirit representing breath of God as you mithraist christians believe that there is an entity called Holy Spirit who represents breath of God.If God requires spirit to breath or be alive, then He is just like any other created being. That spirit you call Holy Spirit representing the breath of God is never exists, it is the satan who represents himself as Holy Spirit who inspired paganism of mithraism incorporated into christianity in the year 325 AD by council of Nicea. The holy Quran has fingered out such pagan doctrines like Godman and begotten son of God incorporated into the Gospels by Paul the liar and told you to reject, but you insist on them because you go to burning hellfire . Jesus never taught that rubbish inspired by the satan the cursed one.
CogitoErgoSum says
I understand that the Muslim Holy Spirit is not the same as the Christian Holy Spirit. And you are wrong when you say Christians believe the Holy Spirit is the “breath” of God. The “breath” of God comes from the Father ……. who is the “breath” of life (that’s a metaphor, Ibrahim, and of course God does not need to breathe to exist). We believe the Holy Spirit is the wisdom of God put into action… and that wisdom of God is not understandable in terms of human knowledge. We also believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is equal to the Father and Holy Spirit — and all are the same in one God.
Mary is not a part of the Trinity. Gabriel is not a part of the Trinity. Mary was a human being. Gabriel is an angel. If Muhammad had understood just the basics of the Trinity he would not have made the Allah of the Quran inquire of Jesus anything at all about Mary being a deity. It is a nonsensical question to ask of Jesus and, therefore, Allah is a nonsensical creation of Muhammad’s imagination.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Cogitoergosum, if Jesus is equal with the Father (God forbid!), why Jesus said Father is greater than I and greater than all? Again, you believe that there 3 persons, God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit making one God, which means 3 entities makin 1.In that case fraction has to apply: God the father 1/3,God the son 1/3 and God the Holy Spirit 1/3=1/3+1/3+1/3=1 or the summation 1God =1(1+1+1)=3.Either of these is blasphemous or according to Jews a polytheism. How do you see it?
CogitoErgoSum says
Ibrahim, do you remember I have told you that the Trinity is like H2O? Sometimes H2O can be liquid water, sometimes ice and sometimes steam. but always H2O. Can ice sometimes be greater than water? Yes, you have heard of ice dams that block the flow of water, haven’t you? Can steam be greater than ice? Yes, when steam is directed upon ice it can melt ice. And then, at the right temperature, ice and steam turn back into liquid water. Which form of H2O is greater than the other depends on certain circumstances.
When Jesus was in the form of a human being He took on the characteristics of a human being subject to the physical laws governing the existence of a human being. At the time Jesus lived among men in physical form the Father was greater than Jesus was. So what Jesus said makes sense.
What also makes sense is that under certain conditions water, steam and ice can all turn into either all water, all steam or all ice. They can become one and later they can become separate again. 1+1+1 can sometimes make just 1 when you are dealing with different forms of the same substance. As I said, it all depends on certain circumstances. That’s how I see it.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Cogitoergosum, i stated that Angel Gabriel is nicknamed as “Ruhul Quddus (Holy Spirit) “because he is being sent by God to deliver spirits of life to all living creatures, including Jesus, not as entity representing breath of God as mithraist christians believe.

That entity you call Holy Spirit representing the breath of God never exists. It is the satan who appointed himself as Holy Spirit saying he is God, which is a lie, and inspired pagan doctrines of Godman and begotten son of God from mithraism of old.Beware!
