Muslims have not produced anything great since the Middle Ages and most likely will never again.

Well, they gave us the suicide vest, the car bomb,
the truck bomb, the shoe bomb, the underwear bomb.
And the ass bomb so it hasn’t been a complete write off.
They also gave us the TSA, predator drones, and
Islamophobia too.

This has to be satire.

There are differences between Christianity and Islam that are too profound for me to swallow.
1. Allah is alone. God is the Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

2. Allah is merciful and compassionate, as our Father is, but our Father is also a loving father. In fact God IS love. Allah is NOT love.

3. Allah and people have a master-slave relationship. "Abdullah" is a VERY common Arab name. It means "slave of Allah." Christians have a father-child relationship, with a most loving Father.

4. Heaven, for Islam, is full of "houris," that is, for men and their lust. Christian heaven is unity with God.

5. Islam has no purgatory. Catholicism does. Thank you, Lord!

6. Islam has no savior, no communion, confession, penance whereas in Christianity we can know our savior and pray to Him. We can confess our sins, get absolution, do penance and consume the Body and Blood our our Savior.

7. Christians have a plethora of prayers and especially the one Jesus gave us: OUR FATHER...
Muslims have the "There is no God but Allah..." and that's it.

8. The Muslims have the Koran which is a KNOCK-OFF of the Bible. Miriam is Mary and Issa is Jesus.
*My husband got a Koran as a gift from one of the ARAMCO Saudis. It was the ONLY gift contractors could give ARAMCONS. It cut off ALL bribery.

I could go one but I think I've made my point.

============================
**In Saudi Arabia the name Issa is used a lot, stores, cookie brands, etc. VERY weird. It's not viewed as derogatory at all but just plain weird. Muslims consider Jesus a VERY special man who did nothing but good things...NOT the Son of God, however.

***My husband and I worked and lived in the Kingdom, working with Saudis, for five years. They really are just plain, ordinary Joe Schomoes from Kokomo, however, as my husband pointed out "They think differently. Their logic is middle eastern and different from ours." An understatement.

****My boss was the nicest, kindest, most humble man I had ever met. He had never learned to read or write as the Saudis had always 99% illiteracy. (There were no trees, thus no paper.) But as boss he had to have much information at hand...so he memorized. He could remember 15 tasks that he had to do that day. He made up for what he didn't get as a child.

=============================

Thanks for posting, MuaaaDIB!
