I say that Islam is a reversion to the God of the Patriarchs, which Mohammed appropriated because he recognized in that part of Genesis his own world. The irony is that liberals should honor a religion that teaches the vengeful God of the Old Testament, which they claim to loathe.

I cannot see it in such a benign fashion. Did God unleash wrath in the Old Testament? You bet He did. But can you reconcile any correlation between God and orgies in heaven with black-eyed virgins? (God uses a virgin birth to establish the salvation of the world. An Islamic heaven paints virginity as a special treat to exploit for sexual gratification.) Does the Allah of the Koran look like a pre-Jesus version of God, or a perverted caricature of Him?

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Ever heard of 'Satanic Verses' by Salman Rushdie? His claim is that the angel of light who visited muhammed was not from God and that Mo's wife cautioned him not to take the angel seriously.

Rushdie is still alive, somewhere in England.....

Not as ironic as the fact that these same "old testament" hating liberals have claimed for over two hundred years to love and admire the Jews.
