I liked this. I could have lived without the authors prophesy but the rest of it was interesting. I've heard the Hagar story before. If Abraham had trusted the lord in providing an offspring we might not have had this problem today.
Also if Israel had of followed Gods command of TOTAL DESTRUCTION of the peoples in Israel upon their return from Egypt we might not have the problems we have today.
Sort of unusual that God commanded them to destroy them man woman and child as well as their animals. But the bleeding hearts couldn't bring themselves to obey God.
I should clarify that following God's commands would have been extremely difficult and I can see why God's command of killing every living creature and destroying all bounty wasn't carried out.
Two other points that I agree with. Islam DOES seem to follow Theology that was discarded from Christianity and the Jewish religion. For instance "The daVinci Code" theology is perfectly compatible with Islam (but not with Christianity).
Also the idea that Islam might have been inspired by Satan is not without some agreement from Mohammed himself. Initially he thought the 'Angel of Light' he encountered was Satan.
It was only later that his wife convinced him otherwise.
I happen to believe his initial assessment.
