I’ve thought that too. It somehow makes him so much more profound that we must dissect his writings. Then again, he could have just been nuts.

88 is supposedly a code for Adolph Hitler.

That would be because there is no significance in the different spellings. It’s an Arabic name. Any representation of an Arabic name or word in the Latin, i.e. English, alpabet is phonetic.

The point I was making was, some on FR are making a huge distinction in the two spellings, enough so that a dr. from turkey was dragged into their equation.

I saw no such distinction between the spellings.

he has the correct zip code, but I don’t see anything close to that street name.

88 Revol - the only match in google maps - Ontario canada.

I really didn't pay much attention to it....But the combination of address error and express mail would make me think it got special attention...and didn't just go into the "we'll think about it" box.

What was the wrong address and where does that lead??

Ishmael was the illegitimate son of Abraham that he had when Sarah believe she was barren and convinced Abraham to have relations with her maid, Haggar.

the FROM address? it leads nowhere obvious, at least regarding the street name. NBC is at 30 Rockefeller Center, and you see the corrected zip.

God promised Abraham he would be the father of many nations, and he promised him a son, even though he and Sarah were very very old and childless.

In their unbelief, Sarah and Abraham decided to help God out with His promise, and Abraham slept with Sarah’s servant, Hagar. Hagar bore a son they named Ishmael.

Sarah became pregnant and bore a son they named Isaac.

At this point, the Jewish and Christian teachings differ from the Islamic teachings. The Judeo-Christian scriptures teach that Abraham recognized his sin (lack of faith in God’s promise) and in obedience to ancient prophecies drove out Hagar and Ishmael.

Years later, God instructed Abraham to take his only son, Isaac, and to sacrifice him on an altar. Abraham obeyed, and the Angel of the Lord stopped him at the last second and offered a substitution for the sacrifice: a ram.

The Muslims on the other hand, believe that Ishmael was the true son of Abraham, and that he was the one on the altar.

The Jews are the descendants of Abraham and Isaac. The Arabs are the descendants of Abraham and Ishmael. Throughout the bible, these two nations have warred.

I received an e-mail from the photographer. This person is not the VTech shooter.

In that case, shouldn't this photo be removed from this thread asap?

I have seen Ishmael spelled Ismael in some Muslim writings.

Ismail-Ax.

Check DU. I’ll bet “Ismail-Ax” hasn’t been posting the last few days.
