ISLAM is the scourge of the earth. It is a counterfeit to worshiping the true God

God has a plan for his creation and he will deal with Islam shortly.

the Arabs view themselves as a people who look back to Abraham as their father. According to the rules of the day Ishmael was Abraham's firstborn legal heir. It was Sarah who jealously wanted him to be disinherited (Genesis 20:9-11). But it is interesting that although the final compiler of Genesis must have been a Jew, he wants us to know that the progeny of Ishmael still has a great destiny. "As for Ishmael, I have heard you; I will bless him and make him fruitful and exceedingly numerous; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation" (Genesis 17:20).

This ancient Jewish writer is also careful to list the twelve Ishmaelite tribes, and he noted their territorial area: "They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria." Some of their settlement or tribal names such as Kedar, Tema, Dumah, and Nebaioth (the Nabateans) were known in historical records for two thousand years (Genesis 25:12-18). There were Ammonites and Moabites from Abraham's nephew Lot (Genesis 19:37-38). Other tribes such as the Midianites (Kenites) originated from Abraham's second wife Keturah (Genesis 25:1-6; Exodus 3:1; Numbers 10:29; Judges 1:16; 6:1), and the Edomite tribes were traced back to Esau (36:1-43). The Bible records constant contacts and skirmishes between the children of Israel and these Ishmaelites, Midianites, Ammonites, Edomites, Moabites, Amalekites and other tribes from the east (Exodus 17:8-14; Deuteronomy 2:5; Judges 3:12-13; 6:1, 3; 11:4,12-18; 1 Samuel 15:5, 6; Jeremiah 25:23, 24; Joel 3:8).

__Isn't it great that God has blessed them with all that oil?

In the overall scheme of things 'Gods' plan doesn't particularly impress me any more than Allahs.

The earliest converts to Islam fled persecution by the Jews of Yatrib and the pagan tribes to Ethieopa for a time where they were protected by the same Ethieopian Christians who had invaded Yemen to protect the Najran Christians from the Jewish kings of Yemen. It was after a burning incident where many of the Najran had been penned up and burned alive.

>ISLAM is the scourge of the earth.<

Simply because the West allows them to be. If the West were to resist violently, all this would not happen and Muslims would turn tail.
