For me the final question in ones mind regarding whether to consider Christianity or Islam as being closer to the Truth of God comes back to consideration of which man, Jesus or Morhammad would represent a divine creator? In Islam, we believe that both the real Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and...

The Qur'an openly states many times that Allah is the 'best deceiver'. The Arabic word used here is "ماكر" "maakir", coming from the root m-k-r م-ك-ر, with the word Makr "مكر" meaning deception. Makr “مكر” literally means plan or scheme. As in English these words (plan...

I'd love to think you mean that. And I'd love to think we could do it. But there are two factors from Islam that make it impossible for me to believe that. I find it amazing that all this time you had no trouble discussing with me but suddenly after my last post only, you are finding it impossible ...

I had asked you how you got the precise statistics you mentioned thus: "Religions," as a combined total, are about 8% of the world's war casualties. 50% of those are from one "religion," namely Islam. The other 3.8% of world causalities are all other so-called "religions&qu...

100% of the religion wars are from Christianity alone. That's actually not just false, but so brashly false it beggars imagination. But this is so easy to show, no more need be said. Sure, no problem. Recall that I had asked you how you got the precise statistics you mentioned thus: "Religions...

The sources you gave do not contain these numbers and basic maths do not point even approximately in that direction either. Until we resolve this issue, I cannot take them seriously and fully rejoice as you suggested. Did I say they did the math for you? I did not. What they do give you is the figu...

"Religions," as a combined total, are about 8% of the world's war casualties. 50% of those are from one "religion," namely Islam. The other 3.8% of world causalities are all other so-called "religions" combined. ..less than are killed in the name of geography, language...

"I have not yet been to Palestine and Gaza the open air prison. If God wills, one day I will go to the freed state of Palestine. Ameen." No i meant prison prison. If so, u will very quickly lose this vision of a world with unicorns and rainbows where everything is beautiful. Dr. Michael W...

I find it to be very interesting that the Rabbi said that many non-religious Jews and Evangelical Christians support the criminal terrorist state of Israel. Having discussed with you before, I don't recall you as a non-religious Jew. However, you seem to be a supporter of the terrorist and pariah s...

You do realize that nothing you said here addressed what you quoted from his post. I think you missed the part in the quote where he talked about "anti-Israel" and "anti-Jewish" propaganda. My post directly addresses this issue. It might be difficult for you to understand becaus...

Hamas’ primary interest in the Gaza civilians is to use them for anti-Israel, anti-Jewish propaganda. Did you know that the religious Orthodox Jews are themselves anti-Israel? In case you might not know, there is an interesting interview of Jewish Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss that I found to be very i...

"Everything that I have, my life, all my possessions, all my joys, all my family, every single morsel of my food, my house, the air that I breath, the Sun that warms my skin, the light breeze that refresh my skin, the cool water that quench my thirst, absolutely everything is given to me by th...

Professor Norman Finkelstein just described the Israeli operation in Gaza as "somewhere between a crime against humanity and genicide under international law", and said Israel's goal appears to be "to ethnically cleanse the northern sector of Gaza and declare it Israeli's new security...

If you can't feel this, what can you feel? I feel inspired. The story of Abraham(pbuh) always makes me feel inspired to do my uttermost to please the One Who created me when I was nothing before and had nothing. Everything that I have, my life, all my possessions, all my joys, all my family, every ...
