An Archaeologist has discovered what he believes to be the ruins of a buried Christian empire in the highlands of Yemen.

The find has led to theories that there may have once been a Christian church in Mecca.

A stone carving of a Christian figure was found in Zafar, some 581 miles south of the Holy City, and is thought to have been made in the era of the Prophet Muhammad.

Christianity covered the entire Middle East, until the rising up of Mohammed.

ALL muslim lands are stolen lands.

I do not recognize the concept of “muslim lands”. Our nation’s founding fathers believed the right to freedom of religion is inalienable.

Islamic supremacist thought be damned.

Islamic supremacist

Somehow, that sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Read up on the history of the areas whereby Mohammed came to get all the Bedouins to join together Many of the merchants were Jews and Christians. The Jews and Christians were killed by the Prophet to consolidate his power and prestige. Yes there were Christans and Jews in many of the cities throughout the Middle east. How else do you think Mohammed got the money he did not earn it he stole Share the wealth was his view, he killed instead of sharing it.

For some reason I thought it said, ‘Christian finger.’ I couldn’t figure out the Christian way of giving someone The Finger.

“Our nation’s founding fathers believed the right to freedom of religion is inalienable.”

I’m beginning to believe that very few people believe in this anymore.

Islamists are proud to declare that over a billion people are muslims in the world today. They aren’t so vocal when you ask them why there is a death penalty for those who convert away from the faith, a tax on those who are not muslim, and why other religions’ texts are forbidden in Saudi Arabia.

How many of those identified as “muslims” today have any choice in that matter from coercion by the State and terrorist groups?

McDonald’s has sold over a billion hamburgers and not a one was forced. I think we both know which one is the worst in the eyes of liberals.
