After reading some more Koran tonight, I had an epiphany.
I realized that some of the worst parts of the Koran were similar to worst parts of the Christian Bible. I now believe many parts of both were misinterpreted.
While I realize that Islam has been violent throughout its history, so has Judeism and Christianity (think Crusades).
I'm not sure I believe in the 72 virgin promise, but I am starting to get Mohammed's believe in a better after-life. I need to read more.
That said, our world has gone to shit. There can be a better place for those who believe.
Yes, I know I've been promoting the opportunity and potential of our original Founding Fathers' intent for years, but they were also persons of faith. I don't know what happened...call it a vision...call it a dream...call it what you like.
This is tough stuff for me. But when you have a "vision" of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, where do you go?
The last prophet was Mohammed. Yes, I know of his trangressions, the same as others. But his writing are starting to make sense.
sniff... sniff... OLD troll...
And yours are starting to not make sense.
Islam is a religion of violins.
IBTZ
Did you ever notice when you look at your hand it looks real far away?
This OLD troll he played one too many!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not my G_d!
I will NOT SUBMIT!
Therefor there is no reason for there to be interested in the teachings of Mohammed as Islam is outdated by thousands of years of Christian civilization.
If you dump a box of rat poison into a pot of soup, does it matter that it has the finest organic vegetables and tenderest cuts of meat in it?
Functional, real-world Islam revolves around the merciless destruction of all the civilization in the entire world, at the point of a sword or the barrel of a gun or with bombs or any other conceivable way - killing or enslaving all six billion human beings who are not Muslim, and especially raping the women before they are enslaved in bags or murdered. That is a very, very, very big box of rat poison.
SO - until that box of rat poison is GONE - frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn about the vegetables, meat, broth or anything else it has to offer, because they’re nothing but traps to get people to eat the poison.
WAKE UP.
Bless Allah/God. And bless Mohammed and Abrahan.
Last thought: I copied the NCIS, CIA, and State Department because I know they follow these types of posts. I have the right to follow my conscience and faith.
Peace Be Among All Men! God Is Great!
The closest shrink's office because it is not a vision but a hallucination.

One of them two little brain cells you have just blew out, didn't it?
Embrace your dhimmitude then..
Why would you say such a thing to someone who has a new faith?
The Holy Bible is Gods word. I've prayed for you.
If Islam was a religion of peace, how do you explain your religion to the family of Nick Burg ?
This was likely written by someone for whom English is a second language. I wonder what his first language was? Hm?...Arabic? ( Just guessing.)
And...Can you spell *T*R*O*L*L*?
haha.. took about 20 seconds for you to be found out.. thats embarrassing..
Good for you picking this up. This guys just looking to start trouble and it reinforces my belief, not shared by many here, that length of time as a forum member hasn’t a ting to do with a members knowledge, Party affiliation or anything else.
Put him in the long boat till he’s sober,
And has he really been here since 1998, or have the bad guys figured out how to hack those dates?
This guy is all over the place... I hope he’s just a troll.
Were you a Christian before you became a Muslim ?
One cannot evaluate the formation and validity of islam without examining the origin of the text as researched by Professor Christoph Luxenberg:
“the Qur’an was not written in classical Arabic but in a mixed Arabic-Syriac language, the traders’ language of Mecca and it was based on Christian liturgical texts. When the final text of the Qur’an was codified, those working on it did not understand the original sense and meaning of this hybrid trading language any more, and they forcefully and randomly turned it into classical Arabic. This gave rise to a lot of misinterpretations. Something like this can only have happened if there was a gap in the oral transmission of the Qur’anic text.”
For example, “the word huri, universally interpreted by scholars as white-eyed virgins (who will serve the faithful in Paradise; Qur’an 44:54, 52:20, 55:72, 56:22) means, according to Luxenberg, white grapes. He says that many Christian descriptions of Paradise describe it as abounding in pure white grapes.”
In other words, texts used by Christian missionaries in the Arabian peninsula in the early centuries of the first millennium were corrupted through misapplication in a different language into a book of false prophesy.

Inferno XXVIII, 19-42. The poets are in the ninth chasm of the eighth circle, that of the Sowers of Discord, whose punishment is to be mutilated. Mahomet shows his entrails to Dante and Virgil while on the left stands his son Ali, his head cleft from chin to forelock.
No, I have never subscribe to any religion until now.
dick.
This is pure nonsense because the crusades were not based on Biblical principles.
For all...look at my new tagline.
Y A W N
But his writing are starting to make sense.
——————————————————————————DECEPTION does that..... Islam is about control of a people, control of mind heart and soul.
Careful.. you might be next. Don’t underestimate deception...clearly it’s deadly.
Why an I “toll” because I find a new faith?
On second thought after reading you have no faith to begin with it’s no wonder your taking the bait. You’ve been had.
Of course the Bible is full of stories of war, death etc...and history before it...why do you think God stepped into the fray in the person of Jesus Christ?????
.. He stepped into mans History of death and distruction to show him a way of escape...but not all take it. If they don’t then they are open to what ever counterfeit the world wants to offer....and many get had. But then that is your choice. One leads to life the other to death and a lifestyle of death.
Actually I figure your old enough to know better than to even consider Islam...you haven’t done your homework on it or you wouldn’t be toying on the edges of it...then again might be you are the OLD TROLL as some have said ..if so............
....you better watch out for those kitties that will give you lightening vision you’ll never forget!
I see you have gone from the medical marijuana to the crack pipe in one easy move. Islam is intolerant and incompatible with all other religions. You have just discovered the # 1 mental illness in the world.
You appear to agree with the oft repeated claim that there is truth at the core of all the great religions. This isn’t a new thought and it is an oft repeated error.
There is a central untruth at the core of every religion except Christianity.
If you wish, we can engage over this assertion or yours.
Put the bottle down brother and go sleep it off.
The Koran and it’s hadiths are directly and diametrically in opposition to the Word of Jehovah. There is NO WAY that Mohammad is a prophet of Jehovah, as his prophecy is not built upon the prophets of old.
God does not change, ergo, neither do His prophets.
You have seen in error.
As Jesus is the perfect and sinless Son of God, what trangressions are you ascribing Him with?
Dude.. I got this vest I want you try. A little bulky and I think it has an ON/OFF button (probably a heater). Try it on and show your friends.
I'm sure you two can have fun discussing your (un)holy book.
Me? I'll use that book for an asswipe the next chance I get.
By the way - what navy are you a vet of? Somalia?
