God and Allah Are Not the Same, Judge Told

My thoughts exactly. Christians holding a Christian conference to point out obvious spiritual truth and are drug into a civil court, tribunal or whatever as a result.

[shezza]

Hate crime. Reason, sanity, justice need not apply.

[rageaholic]

I like the argument that goes, "allah and God are the same because arab speaking Christians use the word allah for God".

So by that logic, if English speaking muslims believed God and allah were the same, they would use the English word God. But they don't.

[ought-six]

Moslems can vilify Christianity and Judaism and it's protected speech, but if a Christian or a Jew say anything even remotely critical of "the religion of peace" it is considered a hate crime. We are headed for a huge and nasty confrontation some day soon, I'm afraid.

"said the seminar had incited fear of, and hatred for, Muslims...

...never mind the suicide, terrorist mass murderers that are currently roaming the palnet!

[observer5]

What about what Mooslimes say about other religions?????

These Moose-slimes need to be send back to some Afgan caves...

[FourPeas]

When you read the differences as explained here, it sure sounds like "Allah" and "Satan" are one in the same.

Yup.

[meenie]

Allah's not well when the choice of God is left to the judiciary.

the Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) said the seminar had incited fear of, and hatred for, Muslims.

Mohammed Atta did this for me.

The Christian position says that the Bible says one thing, the Muslim says it means another.

The government weighs in, and finds that the Christian position is "hate", because it does not agree with Muslim dogma.

In other words, the Australian government has decided that in religious disputes between Christians and Muslims, the Muslim interpretation shall prevail, and shall have the force of law.

It would therefore seem that we could logically conclude that Islam is the state religion of Australia.

[MissAmericanPie]

It's beyond belief that anyone would not understand just exactly who it is that Muslims worship. Allah and the Most High are not one and the same.

Islam barely gives a passing glance at the Torah, other than to twist what it says in an attempt to wrench from Isaac his inheritance and give it to Ishmael, and as far as the New Testament goes, they grant Christ the status of prophet.

Another glaring difference between Islam and Christianity and Judism is the status of truth as being of great importance. Truth is not held in regard in Islam. Lying and deceiving to promote Islam, is a very acceptable practice on the other hand.

[PatrickHenry]

Thanks for the ping, but life is short and threads are many, so we have to pick and choose. I'm out of this one.

[holden]

Indeed, God and Allah are not the same. We can thank God, too, that it's this good scholar on trial, and not some whacko.

What's absolutely beyond the pale is that the Australians have voted themselves this Tool of State, which is designed to be wielded by whomever against whomever for whatever purpose. It's as if they've provided a Law construction set. Mix up a little presumed hatred from your known enemy to build your own House-of-Cards ordinance, then take hearty offense that your neighbor is breaking your Law and sue 'em, with the full weight of court enforcement behind you.

Allah is either a delusion that sprung from a psychotic mind, or a sham perpetrated by a murderous lunatic (read the origins of Islam).
In any case, I think it would be difficult to recognize the G-D from the Old and New Testiments as being the same. Old testimemt is all fire, brimstome and smiting people. New Testiment is all peace, love and brotherhood.

[DonQ]

I am surprised that the Australians are so eager to prosecute a Christian minister for promoting Christianity over Islam, especially considering how many Australians were killed by that Islamic terrorist bombing in Bali last year.

And since the Moslems in Australia initiated this prosecution, does anyone know what happens in Moslems countries to Islamic mullahs who defame Christianity or Judaism?? I'm just asking.

[Cultural Jihad]

God is by definition beyond definition.

[Cultural Jihad]

It's beyond belief that anyone would not understand just exactly who it is that Muslims worship. Allah and the Most High are not one and the same.

Needless to say, you are unable to even prove that there is a God, much less whether the one worshipped by a billion Muslims is different from the one worshipped by a billion Christians.

Please, in the name of scholarly research, read the attached...

Does God Exist?

Who created God?

[HamiltonJay]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Islam is the world religion of Satan... there is no doubt in my mind. It is not the religion of the God of the New Testament.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Don't bother debating that point with people who would define what others believe, while simultaneously rejecting the idea that the same could be done to them.
