I’d say Satan, but that would be giving Satan a bum rap.

Is it any wonder the Islamists have placed a $60 million bounty on this priest's head!

He was from neither. He was just a dude who wrote a book that was the opposite of what the Bible said.

Satan.

Barrack Hussein Obama is a follower of Satan with or without Mohammad. It's okay to use hid middle name now, right? LOL!! Our enemies can't wait to meet with him.

In all honesty, how could anyone really know the answer to this?

This man is a modern John the Baptist. A voice crying in the wilderness. I also fear he's not long for this world. If there were just half a dozen men like him in the Islamic world, it would turn Islam upside down. His explanations are so lucid, clear and irrefutable that they undermine everything Islam is built on.

Islam has resisted Christianity for 1,400 years but if Muslims are going to be converted, it's going to take more brave souls like Fr. Zakaria. Of course, to preach as he does means to have already spiritually embraced martyrdom and to be interiorly resigned to meeting a possibly violent death. There aren't too many who would voluntarily embrace that sort of life.

Here’s what Jesus had to say on the subject:

Matthew 7: 15”Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Muhammad, Joseph Smith & L. Ron Hubbard. Different times, different places, same gig.

Thanks for posting. I learned much that I did not know about the religion of Islam from reading the article.

Read the Bible, then read the Koran. Then make a common-sense judgment as to the origin of each.

Also remember that Satan constantly tries to work opposite God's ways, in an effort to paint himself as God's counterpart. (He is not God's counterpart, because God doesn't have one. Satan is an angel, a wholly different and infinitely lower class of being who was created by God.)

The Bible paints a heaven based on intimacy with God. The Koran paints a heaven of orgies. The Bible teaches making peace whenever possible, teaches praying for one's enemies. The Koran teaches killing those who don't capitulate. And the contrasts go on and on and on. This is how you can know the answer.

Interesting, informitave article.
It was quite enjoyable to read, and, along with some other articles on the man’s ministry VERY ENCOURAGING.

I think I’ll start praying for him, and the people he’s trying to reach, today.

I say that Islam is a reversion to the God of the Patriarchs, which Mohammed appropriated because he recognized in that part of Genesis his own world. The irony is that liberals should honor a religion that teaches the vengeful God of the Old Testament, which they claim to loathe.
