Can you direct me to the significance of "19" post?

The number "19" has some sort of significance to the jihadists. I've never understood what it was. Out of curiosity I Googled "Koran - 19" and came up with all kinds of sites. One consistency I noticed was "Koran 19:88" I found that particular one and it reads: “Those who say the Lord of mercy has begotten a Son preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth break asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a Son to the merciful, when it did not become Him to beget on” Koran 19:88 If I'm not mistaken, I've seen what I have in bold text mentioned at some of these jihadist sites. It seems to be what they want to do to us. Why? Because we're Christians and believe Jesus is the Son of God. There may be more than one reason the number "19" is significant in Islam but this might explain why it's significant to the jihadists. Just one speculation among many. :-)

Thanks, radu! nwctwx also posted (#5540 on this thread)about the significance of "19" ("Welcome to Submission") and post 5732 has some links also (arghh...did not write poster's name down).

I knew there had been some posts made but had noooooo idea where they were. I'd skimmed back a ways but honestly couldn't remember what pages they've been posted on. This thread is a bit overwhelming. LOL!

This page has an interesting description of what we're dealing with these days.

JIHAD Peace, but at what cost, and with who?

"Over it is nineteen." " We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned THEIR NUMBER (i.e.19) (1) to disturb the disbelievers. (2) to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a divine scripture), (3) to strengthen the faith of the faithful, (4)to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews, as well as the believers, and (5) to expose those who harbor doubt in their hearts, and the disbelievers; they will say," What did God mean by this allegory ?" God thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills, None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. THIS IS A REMINDER FOR THE PEOPLE." 74:30-31
