these are all the words of Jesus Christ written in the bible ang the reason why im not surprise of what happening in this world...Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

I couldn't believe that indonesians actually burned our malaysian flag and tried to attack fellow malaysians while we are helping them out after the earthquake..

mr explaining4u,

i've read what you wrote here, they're all false an untrue about islam and prophet muhammad. if you wrote out of ignorance i forgive you. but if you wrote with the intention to insult islam and muslims, i'll pray to Allah that He give you some pretty good lesson to be remembered in the remaining of your lifetime.
