Do Moslems, Christians & Jews Believe in the Same God?

"...a huge religious deception will occur"

Could that be the Islam=Peace thing-y I've been hearing so much about?

Christians are under attack because Christianity is a threat. There are other reasons than the "threat," of course. There's also, I believe, Satan's wanting to get back at God, to hurt Him. The best way to do that is to attack His children. Besides threat and revenge, there's other reasons. Those who are not "of God," do not understand this, do not see this, for they are blinded to the Truth.

Spain expelled all Muslims in 1492 and had the whole Inquisition to make sure none could sneak back in.

Now I remember this is the same person who said there are No Roman Catholic Palestineans despite the fact that they number from 3-10% wether you count hem inside or outside the WB

TLB,

Thanks for this--I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

One time when I was flying out of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a car came speeding up to the aircraft as I was doing a pre-flight inspection. A man walked out carrying my bible, which I had left at the Hilton Hotel I had stayed at the previous night.

I was very grateful and accepted it. The man picked up the book like it was a piece of manure, and handed it to me like it was radioactive.

He gave also gave me an English copy of the Koran. I found this interesting, and I read portions of it the next day.

I defy anyone to read the Koran and not see it as a bunch of tripe. Every 4th or 5th sentence is entirely out of context, nonsensical, and completely contradictory.

But Franklin and Jefferson* and Washington would have been horrified to think the evil superstition of the Turk and the Barbary Pirate was protected under the Consitution they were writing.

If this is the case, then why does the First Amendment not specifically address the matter? Why does it use the general term "religion" rather than the more specific "Christianity and Judaism"? Why were early drafts that were more specific rejected in favour of the text that is there?

[Dimensio]

You have just committed a bannable offense on FR. You are NEVER to suggest that there are Muslims who are not psychotic bloodthirst freaks. We at FR know that every Muslim is a Shi'ite Muslim (those Sunnis are really Shi'ites in disguise, hidden terrorist cells) and we will destroy anyone who suggests otherwise, especially if they present 'evidence'.

Sincere conversions and 15th century bureaucratic efficency
Yup No Muslims

[Commie Basher]

Don't you wish Allah would do the killing when someone "blasmphemes" him or his evil prophet instead of requiring Muslims to kill for him?

If you're saying than modern Jews and Christians are less likely to carry out the viler aspects of their "holy books" than Muslims, then I agree. But in terms of text, and history, all three religions are less than perfect. In olden days, all three relgions had followers who killed in their name of their God.

But the article tries to tell us that the Koran is textually bloodier than the Bible -- and I don't buy that.

I have read it, no, not all, nor studied it. But I have read quit a bit of it and what you say is true; it is written poorly and without logic. It rambles. And that is the reason why I have not read it in depth....I majored in English in college. I believe I have the right to critique works of literature, based on my many years' experience doing so, as required for my degree. It is a horribly, horribly written book. I seen no "divine" or literary genius in its words, whatsoever.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ

Can't find anything in Scriptures about Mohummad. I vote NO!

Interesting website here about Muslims enslaved in America.

http://www.muslimedia.com/archives/book99/afr-slavbk.htm

Author estimates 10-25% of slaves transported to American were Muslim. Probably high, and many West African Muslims were only nominally so.

Haven't read the book, but it probably suffers from rampant PC-disease.

But there were enslaved African Muslims in Portugal and Spain long before Columbus.

Spain also expelled the Jews, who were Muslim allies at that time. FWIW.

I believe it was Jefferson who during one of the disputes with the Barbay pirates specifically denied that the US was a Christian nation and stated that Muslims would have freedom of religion here.

Thanks for the back up
Nominally so applies to many religous adherents of no education and poverty
especially when the authorities of the faith were enforcing it with violence
Nominally so applies to the Christian faith of many of my/our Euro ancestors

The Bible clearly says that Jesus said "No man comes to the Father but by Me." And "I am the way, the Truth and the Life". There's no way to come to the Father except through Jesus.

Muslims and Christians do not serve the same god.
