I have been studying the Koran and Hadith for the past 20 plus years I'm Catholic.,p. The origin of Islam confuses me.

1. Mohammed said that he was praying alone in a cave when the angel Gabriel appeared to him and ordered him over and over "To read"!

2. Mohammed said he told Gabriel over and over that he couldn't read.

3.I'm thinking: Didn't Gabriel do a background check on this man who Allah chose to lead a nation?

4. for instance, Gabriel probably knows if I can read or not.

5. God/Allah obviously knew that Mohammed could or not read just as he knows whether or not I can read

6. I'm wondering: Did Allah simply forget to tell Gabriel, either on purpose or by mistake that Mohammed couldn't read.

7. Whatever happened, Allah placed Gabriel, at least, in a very embarrassing situation.

8. I can imagine this scene: Gabriel spends a clumsy few minutes apologizing to Mohammed for ordering him to read.

9. The logic of the Sre Lanka Moslem murderers makes me sick.

10. Their logic goes something like this: "If I blow up Christian churches and massacre 200 Christian women and children as they are praying in church on Easter Sunday, Allah will love me more and give me a free pass to heaven.

What sick thinking.

I have been studying the Koran and Hadith off and on for the past 20 plus years I'm Catholic.,p. The origin of Islam confuses me.

1. Mohammed said that he was praying alone in a cave when the angel Gabriel appeared to him and ordered him over and over "To read"!

2. Mohammed said he told Gabriel over and over that he couldn't read.

In comparison, think about the following:

1.Mary in the Bible.

2. Gabriel appeared to Mary before Jesus was born.

3. I bet that Gabriel knew every detail of Mary's life before he visited Mary. I bet he had been watching Mary for many years before he visited her. I bet he knew whether or not Mary could read

4. On the other hand, 600 to 700 years later, Gabriel didn't know that Mohammed could not read.

5. I hate to be critical of angel Gabriel, but it looks to me that Gabriel didn't do his homework before he visited Mohammed.
