When Palestine was under Persian and early Islamic rule, Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land were generally treated well. The early Islamic ruler, Caliph Umar, allowed Christians to perform all of their rites -- minus any overt pomp.[7] But beginning in the early eleventh century, Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah began to persecute the Christians of Palestine. In 1009, he destroyed Christianity's holiest shrine the Holy Sepulcher. He eventually relented and instead of burning and killing, he implemented a toll tax for Christian pilgrims entering Jerusalem. The worst was yet to come. A group of Turkish Muslims, the Seljuks, very powerful, very aggressive and very stringent followers of Islam, began their rise to power. The Seljuks viewed Christian pilgrims negatively as pollutants and 'cracked down' on Christians in Palestine. Barbaric stories of persecution began to filter back to Latin Christendom; rather than having the effect of discouraging pilgrims, this made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land even that much more holy. Not even the changing of the pilgrimage stories of wondrous amazement to barbaric persecutions deterred Christians.

33:36 It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah AND HIS MESSENGER to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah AND HIS MESSENGER, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path. When did GOD' Apostle ever become equal to GOD, to decide a mater or to be betrayed like god. FALSE!!

59:4 That is because they resisted Allah AND HIS MESSENGER: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment

i thought Allah had no partners !!

4:80 He who obeys THE MESSENGER, obeys Allah: But if any turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds).

wow more partners in Islam!!

17:59] What stopped us from sending the miracles is that the previous generations have rejected them. For example, we showed Thamoud the camel, a profound (miracle), but they transgressed against it. We sent the miracles only to instill reverence. No miracles in the quran
