Libyan leader says the Bible is counterfeit Thursday, 20th March 2008. 11:42am

By: Manasseh Zindo.

LIBYAN leader Col Muammar Gadaffi, who is in Uganda, on Wednesday March 19 celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Mohammed with a series of attacks on European countries and the Bible for besmirching the Prophet

Gadaffi was speaking to a large crowd at Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium in Kampala after leading the Thuhur (afternoon) prayer, where he said any Bible and Torah (Old Testament) that does not mention the Prophet Mohammed was written by mankind and therefore a fraud.

Not sure how long article will stay posted at original site, so it's on my blog.

“Why doesn’t the world use the birth of Mohammed as a dating process?”

No problem, we will just rewrite ALL of our historical dates. Should only take a sec .....

[ovrtaxt]

Of course, no thought to the possibility that the Koran might be a fraud...

[Shady]

Personally, I think Muammy is a fraud.

[Cindy]

Gadaffi strikes me as feeble-minded and incapable of thinking logically, generally speaking. I am a born-again Christian and I am not angry with
him. I feel sorry for him and his glorying in his foolishness.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “CHRISTIAN leaders here have condemned Libyan President Col. Muammar Gadaffi’s Wednesday’s assertion that the Bible is a forgery, with some calling for an apology for the remarks they say “ridicule the very foundation” of the Christian faith.”

[mtbopfuyn]

Isn’t the Koran man-written?

[Fresh Wind]

No.

[Slim Pickens]

Never mind the fact that the Torah and the Bible were written centuries before Muhammed was even a glimmer in a filthy goat-herder’s eye.

And the Muzzies wonder why we think our civilization is superior to theirs...with brainiacs like that running their countries...

Is this after conferring with Rev. J. Wright?

[LibLieSlayer]

Well the koranus is a fraud... but if you rub the pages briskly between your hands... it makes passable arse wipe paper!

LLS

[ovrtaxt]

hehe... the mods made me pull this tagline years ago- “Anybody got a Koran? I’m out of toilet paper...”

[vetvetdoug]

Nothing more than the members of the Religion of Peace expressing their sentiment of cooperation and charity. I am sure Obama is on this as we speak.

[rosenfan]

Isn’t the Koran man-written?

Aren't all books by definition written by people?

[DieHard the Hunter]

Qadaffi is a certifiable whackadoo — I think Reagan called him “the mad dog of the Middle East” and not without reason. Anyone remember his famous “Line of Death?”

[Cheburashka]

Right. We're supposed to use a calendar invented by a nutburger who couldn't even guess the number of days in a year and hit within ten days of the correct number?

Sure.

Uh huh.

Right.

Oh, yeah.

Who could not see the obvious brilliance of that?

[GulfWar1Vet]

ahh..don’t worry about this loon. Just pray that he will come to know Jesus or he and Mo will be having a long, long time together.

[John123]

Uh, doesn’t the bible predate the Koran?

[TypeZoNegative]

Heh, I was about to say that too. The Quaran accepts the bible as one of the words of God, so if the Bible is a fraud, the Quaran is a fraud too.

[GVnana]

Pastor Wright and Louis Farrahkan’s good buddy.

“Anybody got a Koran? I’m out of toilet paper...”

Heh, Heh, Heh...

[rockrr]

Sounds like the worms eating his brain have completed the job...

[mkjessup]

Isn’t the Koran man-written?

Man written, demon inspired.

When Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, appears in the sky with the Armies of Heaven with Him, ol' Muammar will be pleading for the mountains to fall upon him, so as to hide him from the Son of God.

Right after Muammar craps his burqa, of course.

LOL. Rev. Wright couldn't be reached for comment about his buddy's [Gadaffi] comments because he is supposedly on a cruise. - You know on one of those cruise ships that "throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year."

[do the dhue]

I imagine that if someone from the west said the Koran was a fraud, the believers of the Koran would be calling for a fatwah. If we are to respect their belief, then shouldn't they respect ours?

The Libyan leader lost face with Muslims after we invaded Iraq. After we removed Hussein from power in no time, he saw that we would uphold sanctions and his knees got weak and he gave us all of his WMDs. Now, he is puffing his chest up to try and gain face with his people. Or he knows Reagan is dead and he found his bravado again.

[SubMareener]

But the Bible does speak of the Prophet Muhammad! In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus said, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.”

Gadaffi Duck...

As silly as ever....

At least the Talibatheist wing here on Free Republic has finally found someone who agrees with their Point of View!

[ought-six]

He insulted our faith. Let’s riot in the streets and set fires and behead people, and in general just act like assholes.

"Talabatheist"?

I'm having trouble thinking of two groups whose thinking is more disparate than atheists and the Taliban. Unless, of course, it simply a cheap shot at the expense of atheists.

[Boagenes]

Actually it’s the Koran that’s a lie and a fraud, and Mohammed was a false prophet. But thanks for playing, Moammer

Man is bad and fallible and that’s the way we like it. Don’t you be coming with that peace, love and redemption jive.

Oh no, they are so very, very similar.

Apply the reputation for intolerance of the Taliban with a modern atheist, and you wind up with something out of the ACLU (except that they aren't always from the Looney Left). Hence, the Talibatheists.

They do things like file lawsuits about against "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, grumbling about "In God We Trust" on our money, rage about a cross erected in honor of war veterans, and falsely assert that most of the Founding Fathers were deists.

We even have some around here.

[Cindy]

That’s a possibility.

[rosenfan]

Let me get this straight...you’re asserting that the strongest point of commonality between atheists and the Taliban is their desire for separation of church and state?

[rosenfan]

So what? Why shouldn't they be here?

[FormerLib]

100% incorrect. Their commonality is to use the state to advance their faith (or to enforce the lack of one, in the case of the Talibatheists).

[FormerLib]

So what? Why shouldn't they be here?

No, we should not provide a forum to those who attack the traditions and foundations of these United States.

[rosenfan]

(regarding atheists)

100% incorrect. Their commonality is to use the state to advance their faith (or to enforce the lack of one, in the case of the Talibatheists).

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State. ---Thomas Jefferson

A secular government does not equate with the advancement of atheism. The promotion of any religion (or the lack thereof) is none of government's business. That's not to say that there isn't a bit of "wriggle room"...a serviceman's grave, paid for by the government, can certainly have any religious symbol on it that he or she wishes, be it a cross, pentagram, or whatever. Likewise, having a cross on a 150 year old city seal is no more a violation of the 1st amendment than is putting a church on an historic registry. The ACLU certainly goes overboard on these sorts of things.

[rosenfan]

(regarding atheists on FR)

No, we should not provide a forum to those who attack the traditions and foundations of these United States.

All atheists do not attack the traditions and foundations of the United States, any more than all Christians support them. Atheism is not incompatible with patriotism.

[FormerLib]

A secular government does not equate with the advancement of atheism.

See my previous posts for examples of those who attempt to use a secular government for exactly those ends.

Doing so is no different from the goals of the Taliban (so far as the targeted groups are concerned).

Are there atheists who promote atheism? Sure. However, advocating that government be secular does not require the promotion of atheism.

To say that Christians would be treated the same under ACLU or Taliban rule is absurd.

[FormerLib]

However, advocating that government be secular does not require the promotion of atheism.

Unfortunately, the promotion of secularism can become so virulent as to demand the promotion of atheism, as in the points noted in my previous post.
