From the Koran: Every Christian should read.

From the Quran


2:120: “Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, Islâmic Guidance is the only Guidance. And if you were to follow their desires after what you have received of Knowledge, then you would have against Allâh neither any protector nor helper.”

3:56: “As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."

3:85: “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.”

3:118: “O you who believe! Take not as your helpers or friends those outside your religion since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the verses if you understand.”

3:178: “And let not the disbelievers think that Our postponing of their punishment is good for them. We postpone the punishment only so that they may increase in sinfulness. And for them is a disgracing torment.”

5:14: “And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection, and Allâh will inform them of what they used to do.”

5:51: “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends, they are but friends to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as friends, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the wrong­doers.”

5:73: “Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allâh is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no god but Allâh. And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.”

8:39: “And fight them until there is no more disbelief in Islam and the religion will all be for Allâh Alone...”

9:23: “O you who believe! Take not for supporters your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the wrong-doers.”

9:29: “Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not Islam as the religion of truth among the people of the Scripture, until they pay the Jizyah [religious tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

9:34: “O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the Jewish rabbis and the Christian monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder men from the Way of Allâh. And those who hoard up gold and silver, and spend it not in the Way of Allâh -- announce unto them a painful torment.”

9:123: “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allâh is with those who are the pious.”

Quran, 9:29: “Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not Islam as the religion of truth among the people of the Scripture, until they pay the Jizyah [religious tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”.

Let's have no more talk of "moral equivalency" between Christianity and Islam.

I don't see Jerry Falwell hijacking an Afghani airliner and flying it into a yurt in the Kabul financial district.

You make such a fine, paragon exemplar of 'christian' virtue, stingray.

Your attack on him suggests that he is just that.

Great post!

Question: When do US moslems declare the jihad against Oscuma bint Larden?

[j_k_l]

Hi Nebraska Patriot...I am a Christian and a Mom of 4. There is no correlation between the Koran and the Bible. Jesus tells us that the ONLY way to God is through Him. We would never terroize anyone into believing that.

[AgThorn]

I am not sure if the thread that was pulled was one that I posted to or not, but there was a thread that was painting Muslims as evil. This is wrong. The Muslim faith is wrong and evil but that doesn't make misguided Muslims evil.

Too many people are members of a faith for family, geographic or political reasons and have not had the "option" to truly assess and study what they subscribe to. Not too different than all the "so called" Christians that really wouldn't know a Bible if it hit them.

[AgThorn]

Now how about posting the verses from the Bible that call for bloodletting, and avoidance of people that don't follow the teachings? There are plenty you know.

Error Error Error ....

you are forgetting that there are two covenants in the Bible, the old and the new. The bloodletting was when the world was barbaric and God's people were sent out to build his church. Mice can't live with Wolves, mind you!

When Jesus paid the ultimate price for our salvation, you will find that there is no bloodletting other than all the martyr's that gave up their lives in a continually pagan world.

Then, thanks to Constantine, Christianity became the persecutor rather than the Persecuted ..... and then we really started to screw up! (but that's not in the bible)

[wardaddy]

We are in a struggle with fundamentalist Islam. Plain and simple. They hate us and our culture and most importantly our influence...particularly in their sphere. This problem stretches from the Middle East to the Balkans (where we are on the wrong side)to Asia to the Orient to Africa and yes even to their sympathizers who exist here. We must crush them and destroy their will. They are not ubermensch.....they just have a bit less civility and are not as spoiled by luxury.

[Centurion2000]

I didn't believe you that much when I first read this post.

I went a bought a koran just to verify it. My copy is the contemporary Qu'ran by Ahmed Ali Copyright 1984. (No ISBN number though) but it was cerified by some Research and Registration Officer, Department of Auqaf, Sind.

Found every quote you mentioned and more.

Pi$$ on Allah .... these boys have no idea what they have done. Besides, if they lose, it's their war god's will.

Fundamental Islam and Thuggee cults have a LOT in common.

[Jackie222]

NO - they wait till they're about 6 or 7 and then they give them a little plastic key "to heaven" and send them out into the mine fields. Or they give them guns and tell them to go and shoot the Jews.

GOOD ANSWER!

[MissAmericanPie]

You mean that Muslims don't worship the same God as the Jews and Christians??? I'm shocked..not.

A WAR bump

[Mmmike]

That's the writing of someone who has plenty of his own myths and superstitions to wrestle with :-) But then, if we the secular see ourselves as having triangulated our way above and beyond those silly old religious dichotomies by virtue of our secular-ness, then it's our own failure to recognize those dichotomies as *false* ones that helps us feel so far above it all, now isn't it?

why don't you quote some if you know some - and keep them in context.

i personally believe that every religion has something to offer and that people should choose the religion that helps them to spiritually benefit best. i find great enlightnment in this belief. this is why all religions, whether islam or christian or whatever other religion you may be should respect the beliefs and faiths of others.
