Islam and the 'Great Religions'

Political correctness dictates that all religions are of equal worth; that there are Three Great Abrahamic Religions, and The Arabs are Semites too, so they cant be anti-Semites. All these clichés need to be buried.
While Christianity and Islam were both offshoots of the Jews and took from them the concept of having ones own Holy Writ, their self-definitions as new faith communities were radically different. The Coine Greek language narratives appended to the Hebrew Bible purport to be a continuation of Jewish history. The Catholic Church even defines itself in Latin as Verus Israel, the True Israel.
But Muslims make no such claim. On the contrary, the Koran re-wrote many of the stories in the Hebrew Bible in the spirit of Islams doctrine that Muslims are Allahs true chosen people. The early Christians left Jewish Scripture intact; the Muslims did not. Christianity wanted to hold onto Jewishness to a degree; Muslims dismissed it as a pack of lies.
Moreover, in plagiarizing the Jewish Bible instead of adding to it -- which makes of the Koran a form of copyright infringement or intellectual property theft -- Muslims claim that the discrepancies between the two versions are the result of the Jews theft of the Koran. And never mind that the God of Israel bestowed upon the Israelites the Five Books of Moses in the year 1313 b.c.e. and the Koran dates to the late 7th and early 8th centuries c.e., almost two thousand years later. When a Muslim is confronted with the contradictory narratives of the same incidents, he answers that Musa (the Arabic mispronunciation of the Hebrew name Mosheh) brought the Koran down from Mt. Sinai but the perfidious Jews then re-wrote it and called it their Torah until Muhammad came along and restored the original text.

Christ is all throughout the Old Testament and the New.
Alluh is nowhere to be seem in either.
Islam is a fiction . The Bible is not.
mohammeds hope that islam would be.... by some people... grouped together with Judaism and Christianity “lives on” today, as modern day writers continue to mistakenly give it any sort of credence

islam = satans death cult
allah = satan
moohammud = pedophile and murderer
“allah akbar = satan is greater than God
Bottom line: islam is pure satanic evil...and their Book of Satanic Verses proves it!

We’re teaching our young that there’s no such thing as boy and girl (Virginia) while they’re teaching their young how to kill.
This has to change and fast.

The Arabs are Semites too, so they cant be anti-Semites.Actually this one is correct. The Moslem arabs are Jew-haters and Everybody Elseihaters but not anti-Semites. It is nonsensical to oppose the larger group of which one is a constituent member.

What they mean by “It’s a great religion” is “There’s a lot of them and they’re scary with their beards and burkas, and they chop heads off”.

You are right. I went to a communion party for my niece last night and there were so many little ones there, and I kept thinking about how we need to do Everything to protect them, from the muslims, from the fascist left, from the radical black movement, from the gay mafia, from illegals with bad intentions...it’s a multi-front war.

Remember what
our Heavenly Father said:
... HIS HAND WILL BE AGAINST EVERY MAN,and EVERY MAN'S HAND AGAINST HIM;and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren ...
You want to see the
"End of the Matter" ?
" ... And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them... ... after the end of seven months shall they search.
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog ... "
That's
a VERY long time burying dead Muslims, ... burying
a lot of DEAD Muslims!
And
here's WHY !
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith. MUSLIMS are allowed to LIE and deceive NON MUSLIMS, if it benefits or protects ISLAM. Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves."
Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.
Qur'an (40:28) - A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.
Qur'an (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts"
Qur'an (66:2) - "Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths"
Qur'an (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means deceit. If Allah is deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)
Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be "compelled" to deceive others for a greater purpose.
For a better understanding of the issue, read
HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

Islime is not just at war with Christianity, it is hostile to ALL other ways of life. I would like to see people of all non-muslime faiths come together to eradicate this scourge, or at least contain it in its dusty cesspool in the sand dunes.
Call it an ecumenical army.
