Following are excerpts from a program featuring former Mufti of Egypt Ali Gomaa, which aired on CBC TV and was posted on the Internet on December 23, 2014:

Ali Gomaa: The hadith that relates how [the stones and the trees will say:] "There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him" is a 100% reliable hadith that appears in Muslim's compilation. But I must stress that we will not attack anyone. We are the ones under attack. The Prophet Muhammad was right when he foretold that before this, the Zionist entity would occupy our land, and would kill our sons, violate our women's honor, and steal our money.

One day this miracle will take place, when the Palestinians and all the Muslims will fight the Jews until even the stone and the tree will talk, except for the Ghardaq. That is what the hadith says. In Egypt, we have turned this into "Ghardaqa." The city of Ghardaqa is named after the Gharqad trees planted there. They changed the order of the letters, but it's the same thing.

[…]

Some people question the reliability of this hadith, but it is 100% authentic and will come true. Look how the Jews are planting Gharqad trees all over the West Bank. They know that it will protect them when they hide behind it. They believe these sacred texts, while some Muslims doubt them. But most of the Muslims believe in these texts and will continue to do so.

what a maroonish idea... these trees (Nitraria retusa) are lousy camouflage.

Of all the trees to hide behind this would be the last one I'd choose:

Compare the Jewish and Christian versions of the “end of days” to the Muslim one:

Jewish/Christian - People will suffer judgements and wrath, based on their choices and actions, meted out by God Himself.

Muslim - People will suffer judgements and wrath, based on their ethnicity/religion, and Allah asks his followers to mete it out for him.

Any time you do these types of comparisons, it is pretty obvious which viewpoint fits more closely the idea of an omnipotent deity.

I guess mental illness or deficiency is not a hindrance for “management level” Muslims.

ole Mo himself was no stellar example of human intelligence nor sanity..

this clown nearly matches mo’s absurd claims..as put forth in the stinking unholy koran

This isn't just some religious nut job talking through his head rag:

I've reviewed construction contracts from Saudi Arabia that specifically banned & provided penalties against any use these trees for just the reasons this clown spews.

The Orthodox guys have WAY cooler hats. Sorta like carbon fiber Elvis hair....

Jewish/Christian - People will suffer judgements and wrath, based on their choices and actions, meted out by God Himself.

Those who are not saved go before the White Throne of Judgement and suffer the wrath of God. Those who are saved go before the Bema Seat of Christ. All their sins are forgotten and they are awarded Crowns based on their good works. And to be clear, salvation does not come from good works, but good works come from salvation.

I was trying to just make a quick summary, not a theological exposition, so I didn’t want to get too specific, but thanks.

Yes, salvation does not come from works, but judgement (for the unsaved) is based on works.
