As a premise, I'm not Muslim, nor do I affiliate with any organized religion.

Anyway, I'm assuming that you're trying to undermine the Koran (and correct me if I'm wrong) because you subscribe to either a Christian bible or the modern Torah. If either is the case then the truth is apocryphal information and unfulfilled prophecies in your texts as well. You may justify it as allegory or symbolism or whatever, but just because your text may be more vague doesn't mean its more true.

a challenge to all muslim brothers and sisters.

sura 18 : 94-100.

dhul qarnain /alexander built a wall of iron and copper to protect a weak tribe from yajuj and majuj. the wall will be destroyed on judgement day.

That means the wall should still be here.

show me the wall of iron and copper.

if pyramids are still here after 4000 years, then where is the wall? alexader was born only 2300 years ago.

It proves that Koran is the word of Muhammad not gods.

SHOW ME THE WALL.

There is no question as to who owns the oil, its the United States, they have most of the no bid contracts to take care of Iraqs oil industry. The rest is a big mind game the Iraqi's are playing with themselves, thinking they actually have control over their oil. America got what it wanted, it only cost thousands of human lives, but hey gotta have oil right.

The reports that Rick Rowley and David Enders have been doing for Al Jazeera are incredible in their capturing of the nuances in Iraqi politics at the present. This is really important when covering the Shiites and they've done it justice, particularly in this two part series on the Battle for Basra.
