Time Mag Editor: Koran Is ‘Directly The Word of God,’ Bible Just a Book ‘Written By Man’
bigjournalism.com ^ | April 5, 2011 | Warner Todd Huston

In another example of a sort-of cultural suicide where western media types assume that all Muslims are blameless – while all Americans are at fault in this clash of civilizations between Islamism and the West – we have a recent episode of MSNBC’s Hardball with one-time Democratic operative Chuck Todd standing-in for host Chris Matthews.

Todd was discussing the riots in Afghanistan sparked by Islamist ire over the burning of a Koran by a Florida pastor. During the interview Todd and a guest stated that the Christian Bible was just a book written by men while the Koran was the “direct word of God.” The two implied that this excuses Muslims from murdering people over the book burning.

The Left usually appear to be a bunch of atheists who think that religion is a bunch of hooey. But this is not strictly true. The Left does not automatically hate religion.

They just hate Christianity.

I would say that this is the central tenet of the Left, and has been since the French Revolution (which was extremely anti-clerical). The Left is at war with the God of the Bible. Other gods? Oh, they're ok.

Terry Jones has done us all a favor.

He has caused the unhinged Left to come out from behind their masks.

The Koran is the manifesto of an evil totalitarian political system. Check out what Ann has to say on these two wonderful videos linked at Gates of Vienna.

Is that how it really went down, in context? Awfully provocative headline. If it doesn't reflect what was actually said, it doesn't help the credibility of the source.

I'm ignoring stuff more and more as a result. Of course, then if I catch a clip of say an Obama quote, I'm usually incredulous.

Wasn't the first set inscribed on GOLD tablets?

Seems to me the reason Moses really smashed them was that he knew if he took back tablets of gold, his people would just melt them down to make another statue.

Exactly,

If it was the direct word of God, as divine writer, he would have gotten it right the first time. Maybe their “god” is a idiot?

Mayhap you are right. Beelzebub has been trying to get it right for centuries. Try as he might, he still has detractors; those that spend time proving him wrong.

This country is finished. Established as a Christian nation, God blessed us as a result. But whenever His children abandon Him, according to Bible history, he gives their land to their enemies. That’s what’s happening now. Liberalism/humanism/secularism has destroyed us.

And the editors of TIME came to this epiphany exactly how? TIME magazine has absolutely ZERO credibility as any kind of source.

These people are so delusional I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

I once followed liberalism like these fools, and then finally asked for the Truth and It was revealed to me. I praise God everyday for His Truth; unfortunately some may already be too far removed from the Truth, as this article reveals....

In the Bible ... God condemns perversion, yet the Koran was written by a sexual pervert. Go for it “Time Mag Editor”
