For Mohammad, Heaven A Lonely Place

Despite throngs of followers, few willing to join him in paradise.
Mohammad stands alone in paradise. An ill-advised prohibition against idolatry has left faithful followers unable to recognize his face.
A Point Five special report:
Part seven in the Conversations series.
HEAVEN - Theres a large sign above the gates of heaven that says, All who seek comfort are welcome here. But for Mohammad, heaven is a lonely place.
I look at Jesus, and hes surrounded with followers. A rock star. Oh Allah, what a fool I am!
Despite a population of billions of faithful, heaven has never really panned out for Mohammad.
On Thursdays, we all wait at the gate for the new arrivals. Me and Jesus and Buddha and Elijah and Vishnu the whole gang. You can always tell my followers coming up the escalator, theyre usually holding a nice little cardboard box containing their limbs, imshallah. And I say Here! Come to me my beloved children! Your Prophet awaits you! At last behold my face!
And they look at me like theyve never seen me before. And then I remember, Oh crap the idolatry thing! Oh Allah, why did I have to come up with the idolatry thing? Everybody knows what Jesus looks like.
And they say, If you are the Prophet, why do you
stand alongside these kafirs? You cannot be him. We see
another gate, where one who calls himself Prophet stands alone.
Sure enough, they see that other gate over there the one with the guy whos promising them good food and tons of sex and every earthly pleasure, and all I can say is Dont do it! Come to me and live in peace with all the souls of the world. Come see the face of the Creator! Seventy-two sweet raisins of heavenly enlightenment await you! And what do they say to me?
They say, Do not try to fool us, Shaitan. Our Mohammad was a warrior you speak of nothing but peace. Our Mohammad crushed the infidels you stand with them. Our Mohammad promised virgins you offer none.
And Im like, Who am I? Vishnu?
Vishnu, who is sitting nearby during this interview, doesnt react. He continues waiting patiently for his followers go through eons of death and rebirth on their slow climb to Brahman.
Sure enough, continues Mohammad, they always go to the other gate. Oh, sure, a few stragglers wander in the blind Imams
but, then, theyre not allowed in here anyway.
Frankly, this is getting pretty embarrassing. Buddha and Elijah just snicker whenever I walk by. Jesus offered to loan me a few of His until I could build up a bigger crowd loan
me the final Prophet a few of
His??? Even Odin is getting more traffic than me, and hes been retired for years!
Odin sniggers at this, stopping his feasting on a large lamb leg for long enough to give a large grin and greasy thumbs-up.
Did you know that L. Ron Hubbard is pulling in twice the bodies I am? says Mohammad. Excuse me? L.-F***ing-Ron Hubbard?
Why dont you just pop down and give them a few new rules? yells out Elijah, laughing and high-fiving Buddha.
Mohammad shoots back an icy glare. Like that joke hasnt gotten old during the ETERNITY Ive had to hear it. Oh, Allah why did I have to say final revealed truth?

G-D will not recognize people that kill other people, no matter the reason, into heaven, period! Sorry, moonstone worshipers, but the majority of you will not make it to heaven.

Well, Buddha doesn't believe in God and Heaven is not a destination he was familiar with, either.
L. Ron, either, as to both of those.
Muhammad believed and engaged in many things that God judges as not deserving of Heaven but of eternal damnation, so...
I think that Heaven remains the destination of the holy and righteous and that God is not mocked. Sin is a serious thing and there's not any of it in Heaven, and thus, unrepentant sinners are not there: it's Heaven, it's God's home.

You got that wrong, sport.
You've misinterpreted the holy book. The commandment is "Thou Shalt Not MURDER."
Time for a refresher course, my friend.

Hmmm, I am not sure which post you are referring to because I know that the commandment says "thou shall not murder", what is your point? And please include a my post or at least the comments you refer to! Thanks.:)

Ok, I see what post you were talking about. I was refering to the murderous, beheading, kidnapping, people destroying cult of Islam. I was not refering to people who defend themselves from these same people. G-d will not let anyone that commits murder into heaven. If you think the majority of muslims don't commit or condone murder then you are slightly stupid. Have a nice day:)

"G-D will not recognize people that kill other people, no matter the reason, into heaven, period!
If you're talking about the murderous Islamic fanatics, then we're on the same sheet of music.
If you're including those of us who, in defending ourselves, slay a terrorist, then we're not.
I apologize if I misunderstood your post.

Allah's Servant, a Muslim man named Akmid dies and goes to heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by Saint Peter.
"Welcome to Heaven Akmid" proclaims Saint Peter, "Let your hearts' desire be known."
Well, replies Akmid, I am very anxious to meet Allah.
"Very well, follow me" says Saint Peter.
Akmid and Peter walk into a huge dining hall where a feast is being prepared. They sit down and Saint Peter asks Akmid what he would like to drink.
"Nothing", replies Akmid.
"Surely you must have something to drink" says Peter.
No, Akmid exclaims, I thought we were going to meet Allah.
"Yes, you will meet him very shortly," says Peter, "but first you must order a drink."
Very well, said Akmid, I'll have tea.
"So will I" says Peter, clapping his hands together loudly he shouts, "Allah, two teas."

I really have a problem with your statement.If God will not allow people who kill other people into heaven then every one who has killed in defense of his own or another's life is condemned also.Every executioner of a murderer will burn,Every soldier,sailor,and airman who stopped the v Nazis and Nips has no hope.
Way back in the Old Testament there was this Moses fellow and a bunch called Israelites who fought big battles and slew lots of people as part of God's plan.At least Moses told them it was!
Now one of several things may be true: Moses was a liar and/or the Bible is faked ,and it doesn't matter who kills whom. Or your statement is wrong.
What I think is most likely is that lazy or confused translators changed what was a Commandment not to murder into one saying do not kill. Then the Bible would be a whole lot more consistent.

You are deliberately misreading what I have written. I have not said that "killing" people per se is not going to get a person into heaven. I believe in self defense and I support the war on terror. What I don't support is the islamic war on humanity, the one that doesn't believe anyone who isn't a muslim has the right to live. The mulsims kill anyone who doesn't believe in Allah and Mo the prophet.
This is against God's law and as such will not allow them into heaven. They are idiots and killers. If you wish to condone their actions that is your right, but know this, God will not support you on this, islam is a nation of murderers. Period.

No, it is not. Murder as I define it is killing of innocent people. If you define it some other way fine. Answer me this: A person who commits suicide does not get into heaven, but you are saying someone who takes another's life CAN get into heaven. Sorry, but you are wrong.

I was thinking that when I read the title. In fact, I thought they were going to say that Mohammed was going to be lonely because most of his (Allah's) followers weren't ever going to get that far thanks to their murderous ways.
