Much of the Koran is lifted from the Bible.
Jesus is Issa and Mary is Maryam.
On Mt. Hira: Mohammad said that he heard his message from the Angel Gabriel: "O Muhammad! Thou art Allah's messenger, and I am Gabriel." Muhammad stood quite still turning away his face from the brightness of the vision, but whithersoever he might turn his face from the brightness of the vision, there, always stood the angel confronting him."
And so on.
The Arabs KNEW of the Scriptures of the Jews and Christians. The words of the Koran, laced with Biblical words, were recited in a trance by Mohammad.
The Arabs had no writing of their own and the Arabic alphabet was developed JUST for the Koran.
My husband was given a Koran by an Arab contractor who showed his gratitude by giving him a Koran. Bribery, which was big over there, was not allowed, no gifts, nothing. But the Koran was considered an acceptable gift.
My husband has passed but I still have the Koran. Naturally, it's green.
It’s also traditional to offer a Koran to an infidel and treat the infidel as a friend, before they decide to slaughter the infidel.
If the infidel chooses to convert, then the one giving him the Koran is considered to have performed his duty with the conversion between Allah and the convert and if not, then the slaughter is considered just by Islamic standards.
Either way, it’s a premeditated act of arrogance in the mind of a murderous criminal to escape accountability for premeditated murder before the eyes of Allah.
Do NOT mistake a friendly gesture by other spiritual forces as a Christian act of grace.
Do you kiss your Koran as others have?
There is no mention of muslims in the Bible; you may have your Koran confused with your Bible.
As far as muslims supposedly respecting Catholics, how do you explain Syria?
David Koresh and Jim Jones were also prone to trances.
If a Satan worshiper gave your husband a Satanic bible as a gesture of goodwill, would you keep that, too? Have you ever read anything from the Koran? Have you gotten to the parts that say Jesus is not the Son of God or that Christians and Jews must be killed or forced to pay a tax if they will not convert?
And “St” JPII kissed it.
I am still amazed at the Catholics here who still reminisce about the so-called good ole days under Benedict and other post Vatican II popes. They held the same beliefs as this one. Francis is just brazen and in your face with his Modernist beliefs, actions and words. And let’s not forget that Benedict paved the way for Francis by resigning. Don’t tell me he didn’t have an inkling who would get elected. Much of the heirarchy is infected with the novel teachings of Vatican II (including those who celebrate the TLM). Only God can fix this mess.
