Cain and Abel were brothers. ‘Nuff said.
The price of tea in China is high. Back at you.
Not to mention the way that was worded, “violence between Christians and Muslims” as if the Christians are the offense. I guess we’re to turn the other cheek, eh Francis?
> Cain and Abel were brothers.
So were Isaac and Ishmael.
“Cain and Abel were brothers. ‘Nuff said.”
Apparently not enough HAS been said. There is a mistaken belief that Islam is an “Abrahamic” religion, springing from the same foundation as Judaism and Christianity.
The Arabs tell the story of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael a little differently than the ancient Hebrews. In the Hebrew version, it was Isaac who was offered up as the sacrifice, but spared by God. The version in the Koran pictures Ishmael as the offered sacrifice, but was the one spared by Allah. The Hebrew version says Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, were driven into the wilderness and became the foundation of the Arabs.
When a sun-crazed old sand hermit picked up and wrote his OWN version of what all the religious writings were supposed to mean, this little tidbit got slipped in, and to prevent any of his followers from discovering the sly substitution, Islamic scholars are FORBIDDEN to refer to the Torah, the original source of the account. This in effect denies just about everything else in the Torah or Old Testament. Certainly the Ten Commandments or the Golden Rule, for which there is no equivalent in the Koran.
So the Islamic “religion” ends up having about as much relationship to the antecedents in the Torah, the Old Testament, and the New Testament, as, say, Scientology has to Christianity. Irrelevant, therefore, meaningless.
That means Muslims can kill off all Jews and Christians, as they obviously cannot be “believers”.
Mohammed Ali said it was OK, and even imperative. We have his word that Allah told him so.
Yep. And if Abel had it to do all over again, he would’ve steered clear of Cain.
Esau and Jacob were brothers.
I think I see what you are saying after a second look, however you would not call those who have “gone the way of Cain” brothers today.
