Islam was founded in 627 AD, 1,382 years ago. Christianity was founded approximately 30 AD, 1,979 years ago. Where was Christianity in the era when it was as old as Islam is today—say 1400 to 1500 AD? The development of movable type made possible the Gutenberg Bible, 1455; the Sistine Chapel was built, 1481; Joan of Arc was burned, 1431; Pope Sixtus IV established the Spanish Inquisition, 1478; Pope Innocent VIII issued a papal bull authorizing the Dominicans to prosecute witchcraft in Germany, 1484.

Christianity adapted and evolved. Can Islam?

“They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth ...” - St. John’s Revelation (1st c. A.D.)

The Koran was the invention of Mohammed therefore is an artificial religion without a spiritual soul. The Koran has denial in the place of a heart, since it despises the very ‘elements’ of its construction, which is the Old and the New Testament.

Spyrido Zambelius - The Koran is “an undigested, unintegrated mixture of the Old and the New Testament, a monstrous mixture of Judaism and Christianity, decorated with fictitious tales, that please or surprise the imagination of semi-wild peoples, while from the start to the end it emits political rage and religious frenzy” (see Zambelius, Byzantine Studies, Athens 1857, pp. 169-70).

Manuel II Palaeologus writes that peoples who followed Islam “were deceived and forced by Mohammed, who promised them victory against Christians (cf. Manuel Palaeologus, Epitaph to his brother Theodorus Palaeologus, PG 156.220). Ostrogorsky (Byzantine History) writes that “Mohammed [was not a prophetic but a political figure, he] was creating the foundations of a religious and political union of Arabs [i.e., of a religious union simply as a means to the political unity and expansion]. His work, although spiritually poor and underdeveloped, contained a primitive urge and a huge dynamism.”

Ibn Khaldun - “Watch how all the countries of the world, when conquered by Arabs, saw their civilization being destroyed, their population scattered, even the earth of their ground destroyed”.

Muhammad was/is bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred tens of thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he was entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds justified. Muslims have copied his narcissist traits through study of his one so-called miracle - the koran. Rid the world of that book and.....
