QAA, Lebanon (AP) -- Every day around sunset, dozens of residents of this small Lebanese Christian village on the border carry their automatic rifles and deploy on surrounding hills, taking up positions and laying ambushes in case Muslim extremists from neighboring Syria attack."We all know that if they come, they will slit our throats for no reason," said one villager as he drove through the streets of Qaa, an assault rifle resting next to him.

I pray to God Americans wake up before it’s like that here.
The Koran is a KNOCK-OFF of our Judeo-Christian book. I thought it was an interesting exercise to see what the Internet came up with on the comparison of the Bible and Koran.
That is ALL this is, folks, no message here. My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years and, er, GOT TO KNOW that culture.

1. The Torah, Bible and Koran all have the story of Noah and the Flood.
2. The Glory of the Lord appearing in the cloud. (Exodus 16:10) Known in the Koran as Allah, in the Torah as Adonai and in the Bible as Yahweh.
3. The three Abrahamic faiths — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- share a lineage of noble prophets sent by God. At the root of commonality lies a deep connection to the legacy of Prophet Abraham and a belief in One God.
4. The Koran finds common ground with Christians and Jews (known as 'Ahl Al-Kitab, or People of the Book) in three broad ways:
-- Theological belief in the Oneness of God
-- Common divine laws
-- A shared narrative of prophetic stories
5. The Koran addresses the Jews and Christians by saying, "O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God . . ." (3:64)
6. The Koran also shares the Biblical understanding of God as Creator of the universe (7:54), and reflects the same comprehension of God's sovereignty (6:59) as the Bible's insistence that everything is run by divine Will (Matthew 10:29–31).
7. The Ten Commandments shared by Jews and Christians are almost identical to the laws found in the Koran, but the Koran doesn't list them as systematically as you find them in the Old Testament

http://www.barghouti.com/islam/meaning.html
Islam is derived from the Arabic root "Salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience. In the religious sense, Islam means submission to the will of God and obedience to His law.
Everything and every phenomenon in the world other than man is administered totally by God-made laws, i.e. they are obedient to God and submissive to his laws, they are in the State of Islam. Man possesses the qualities of intelligence and choice, thus he is invited to submit to the good will of God and obey His law, i.e, become a Muslim.
Submission to the good will of God, together with obedience to His beneficial Law, ie, becoming a Muslim, is the best safeguard for man's peace and harmony.
Islam dates back to the age of Adam and its message has been conveyed to man by God's prophets and messengers, including Abrahim, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.
Islam's message has been restored and enforced in the last stage of the religious evolution by God's last prophet and messenger, Muhammad.
The word Allah in the Arabic language means God, or more accurately, The One and Only Eternal God, Creator of the Universe, Lord of all lords, King of all kings, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. The word Allah to mean God is also used by Arabic speaking Jews and Christians.

Both Islam and the Muslim Allah is simply in other words from one SOURCE: SATAN.
Someone convinced him that it wouldn’t be a good idea to imply that we were going to war against Islam.
