Is the Qur’an Accurate?

I am new here and I thought I would post this article from a site I frequent as well as many others that I find interesting from different sites.

ZOT? No, I am a guy who does not like what is happening to this nation, MY NATION, and I will do all I can to expose the threat Islam pushes on the West as well as expose Obama as he continues to destroy this nation.

If I posted this in the wrong section what section should have posted it in?

Sorry for the late response as again I am new here.

Thanks...

And just what is a ZOT? Sorry for my FR ignorance, but thanks for the article.

I don’t know why they piled on you. This is an anti-islamic article and a factual one. Some people on this site are way, WAY to newbie-phobic and like to dance around in a ban chant. Lousy tribalism and they don’t even bother to read the articles usually.

but they probably would not have learned detailed theology for a no-longer current religion.

Zoroastrianism WAS a current religion in the 7th century -- it was the religion of all of Iran,Azerbaijan, much of Central Asia, parts of the Caucasus, Iraq, into western india

It was a major religion untilIslam broke into Iran

ZOT is short-form for “You’ve gotten banned because you’re probably a democrat in disguise, and you’re misbehaving on a conservative forum” — quite unnecessary for mrisiah’s case because those who said it didn’t read the article, but just saw the headline.

Thanks. I want to say that I do respect many Muslims i have met, who basically are uneducated i think in the Qur’an, or take it metaphorically in places where Muhammad exampled it literally. I have good neighbors, who live quiet lives, with happy (and modestly dressed ) kids, and sincerely seem to want to make it in America. Islam benefits from its Biblically base, however, it then corrupts it. And paradoxically, while ostensibly being against paganism, it actually perpetuated a form of it.

If so, I stand corrected.

[Cronos]

well, partially — you are right that he took bits and pieces of religions. Christianity (mostly Nestorian), Judaism and Gnosticism was there in the Arabian peninsula along with pre-IslamicArab paganism. There would have been some Zoroastrians, but they would have been far away in Bahrain and the Persian Gulf region. So Mo just took the mangled bits of various religions and added it to his Bedouin nationalism to form a fake religion.
