Mad Mo made it so The "three Abrahamic faiths" nonsense would be nice if it was true. The problem is, as the article states, it doesn't work that way. Christians have no problem accepting Jerusalem as the historic capital of Israel, and ask only to be accepted as guests there. Muslims want to expel all others, by the sword if necessary.
Good article. I love the use of the term “appropriation”. It is a totally accurate use of the term. The Left has got to hate that.
The only reason muslims claim any fealty to Abraham is to give their fake religion some creds stretching back into antiquity. Abraham never heard or knew the terms muslim or islam.
Ishmael, the elder son by the servant woman Hagar, is the illegitimate son. Isaac, the younger son by Sarah, the legal first wife, conceived by miracle of a woman believed to be barren, has always been held to be the true legitimate son, and the one offered up to the Lord as sacrifice.
Ishmael and Hagar were driven into the wilderness, where, far from expiring, they endured and grew into the other branch of the Semitic people.
Never did get over the choice made by Abraham. So Mohammed Ali, a schizophrenic old sand hermit, took the liberty of rewriting history, a trick used by chroniclers down through the ages, and something that has vastly confused scholars since.
In fact, the sons of Ishmael had largely accepted their subservient position in relation to the descendants of Issac, who kept pretty good historical records, while the sons of Ishmael, being ignorant and largely unlettered, could not, for centuries, raise a valid objection.
Mohammed Ali KNEW about both the Torah, and to a great extent, the collected works of the Gospel and New Testament. Studying them for inspiration, he concluded that the rewritten version in the Koran, directly contradicting and denying the words of these much older religious writings, should be the only valid text to follow, and other Islamic scholars are specifically PROHIBITED from studying any of the parts of the Bible, and the prohibition was especially strenuous in regards to the Islamic masses.
Scientology is SO much less doctrinaire. But it gets persecuted in every corner of the world.
Not that Scientology should not be persecuted. It is, after all, a perversion of true spirituality.
But Islam is ever so much MORE a perversion of faith and mysticism, substituting the judgment of men for the Judgment of God. And permitting these judges to carry out their interpretation of “the will of God”.
Which generally involves slaughter of the ones who chose not to convert to Islam.
Mad Mo made it so“Jerusalem is the spiritual heart of three Abrahamic faiths …”
Well, then Muslims can honor it spiritually from anywhere in the world, just like Christians can. They don’t have to live there.
For a bit of amusement look up “I’m my own grandpa”.
John Kerry and other assorted idiot 'liberals' to too shallow to understand to obvious...
