Correction: Islam means "submission" only. It has nothing to do with any deity. The god factor is only a convenient add-on to mask the dogma as a theological belief system.

Jay Smith doesn't have a Christian bone in his body; he is totally full of hate for Islam and Muslims.

i don't believe in god and am an anti-theist, I also consider myself a christian.

they are the same people who made allegation about jesus and his mother peace be up on them ,what ever they said about Jesus and his mother they were inflected with those allegations ,you see how power full allah is he let you create TV and computer so you can be seen by many people how criminal some of you guys are ,before allah put those criminal forever in the hell fire ,he wants you to be witness on your behalf

[kokogol123451]

see who is doing all the wrongs starting from adultery all the way to other crimes ,they had to develop tools to check and see when they give birth to a baby ,who is the real father ,if you followed islam you would have been scared from god and that would have made everything so easy on you and your soul as well,and this big doubt that is nocking your head constantly would have disappeared ,you would have seen everything in clear vision that it self is a blessing from god to be free .

[kokogol123451]

this 10th commandment was something that that jeasus was teaching to the people of his time before the bible came ,and he never said to change the 10th commandment ,and now worship me instead of the real god (allah) ,do not get confused about god this was very important ,but some how you guys god confused like the people who used to start worshiping the goats in the old times ,although they had seen so many miracle they still followed there desire. WAKE Up people.

[kokogol123451]

Tv is proof for me because all what you see on TV thats how you guys were at the time of jeasus ,very transgressor and look at the women how they act , and know they are spreading this behavior to the whole world ,they want every one to become satan . they still desire the heaven ,the rules are so clear just read the first 10th commandment in the old testament ,

[kokogol123451]

god created jeasus as a miracle ,for those jews who could not believe in anything except something out of ordinary ,so god created jeasuse as sign from allah ,so people listen to him ,unfortunately they wanted to kill jeasus like what they did to other prophets ,god saved him and allah is going to clean him and his mother from those allegations ,they called his mother bad lady and allah wants to show some of you so called wrong doers not to ever make such allegations again ,TV is proof for me

[kokogol123451]

there will not be given water to you if you go with this kind of claim that comes out of your mout about the creator of the heven and earth , when you say jeasus is one or two or three ,you lost it ,if you say jeasus is son of god you lost the heven ,if you take one another as god you lost the deal with the thrue god .only say somthing that what god thought you about him,do not lie with your mouth ,no proof has ever come to you in the old revelations so why you guys making things up about god.
