Christian guy MAKES NO SENSE.

[jaed123]

Correction....As Late sheikh Ahmed Deedat said "In the Bible God has sons by tons"..sorry for the spam

[HeresSeem]

Shabir is a good candidate of Islam.

Science Can not explain everything lol.

Science is majority based on theories. The theory of evolution.. a Theory. the Jews were God's chosen people, and not necessarily that thy are better than everyone else. EVERYONE is created equal.

as for science, sorry. I refuse to believe that I came from an ape or organisms, and there was a big bang that created the earth. yes Jesus died over 2000 years ago but has not returned because NOT ALL THE PROPHECY OF HIS RETURN HAS BEEN FULFILLED.

Trying to burn the bibles?

If you look up the history of the roman empire and the catholic church it will show you they were martyring apostolic people, people preaching the word of god, or anyone with a bible. Why would they do that?

Because the word of God is true and Jesus really did die and was resurrected on the third day. The catholic church is pagan and satanic based therefore it was their sole job to diminish anything that has to do with the true word of God

[babiinene]

This is false. I have read secular and christian history books and information.

Do you know why the french revolution started? or even the french inquisition? the secular books will not tell you the real reason why the french rejected the papacy and declared war on the roman catholic institution.

Why is there a King James bible? Because King James actually had received one of the true bibles that were being burned by the catholic church and created his very own translation. now why were they

[babiinene]

This is actually correct. I was reading a time line of the church and it showed how they murdered christian and jewish women and children

[haytam112211]

if we really want to learn about Islam we should read the source, (the Quran) which clearly states "There is no compulsion in religion" 2:256.

ie. one cannot be forced into belief. if someone does not believe in his heart then he is not a Muslim.

Islam literately means: willingly submitting to the will of God.

this should shed light into the treatment of Muhammad to the meccans

[haytam112211]

hi,i understand ur efforts but reading a book is not research.A book may say that Muhammad killed some Jews,which is true,but it might not tell you that the reason was because they helped in killing innocent Muslims.ofcourse you can prove anyone to be violent man.if given part of the story,you can prove a judge to be a criminal,by not mentioning what the offender committed.a great example of half the stories are Robert Spencer's books,i think we should not be gullible even if we grew up that way

[oakking1]

you have issues.

[jazzmaster1972]

this is for market share. you dont want jesus stealing your demographic.

study the tomb of seti the first in abydos. and u will see where religion was stolen from.

[Deism4life]

i think you're misunderstanding what i'm saying

i HAVE done research, and its called LIBRARY. not internet. library, and actual books, written by an arab M.J. Akhbar. it proves that he was a violent man, who forced religion on meccans, who murdered entire jewish tribes, who enslaved jewish and christin women along with their children.
