Islam and the 'Great Religions'
American Thinker ^ | Sha'i ben-Tekoa

Posted on 05/17/2015 5:42:39 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Political correctness dictates that all religions are of equal worth; that there are “Three Great Abrahamic Religions,” and “The Arabs are Semites too, so they can’t be anti-Semites.” All these clichés need to be buried.

While Christianity and Islam were both offshoots of the Jews and took from them the concept of having one’s own Holy Writ, their self-definitions as new faith communities were radically different. The Coine Greek language narratives appended to the Hebrew Bible purport to be a continuation of Jewish history. The Catholic Church even defines itself in Latin as Verus Israel, the True Israel.

But Muslims make no such claim. On the contrary, the Koran re-wrote many of the stories in the Hebrew Bible in the spirit of Islam’s doctrine that Muslims are Allah’s true chosen people. The early Christians left Jewish Scripture intact; the Muslims did not. Christianity wanted to hold onto Jewishness to a degree; Muslims dismissed it as a pack of lies.

Moreover, in plagiarizing the Jewish Bible instead of adding to it -- which makes of the Koran a form of copyright infringement or intellectual property theft -- Muslims claim that the discrepancies between the two versions are the result of the Jews’ theft of the Koran. And never mind that the God of Israel bestowed upon the Israelites the Five Books of Moses in the year 1313 b.c.e. and the Koran dates to the late 7th and early 8th centuries c.e., almost two thousand years later. When a Muslim is confronted with the contradictory narratives of the same incidents, he answers that Musa (the Arabic mispronunciation of the Hebrew name Mosheh) brought the Koran down from Mt. Sinai but the perfidious Jews then re-wrote it and called it their Torah until Muhammad came along and restored the original text.

Christ is all throughout the Old Testament and the New.

Alluh is nowhere to be seem in either.

Islam is a fiction . The Bible is not.

mohammeds hope that islam would be.... by some people... grouped together with Judaism and Christianity “lives on” today, as modern day writers continue to mistakenly give it any sort of credence

islam = satan’s death cult
allah = satan
moohammud = pedophile and murderer
“allah akbar” = satan is greater than God

Bottom line: islam is pure satanic evil...and their “Book of Satanic Verses” proves it!

We’re teaching our young that there’s no such thing as boy and girl (Virginia) while they’re teaching their young how to kill.
This has to change and fast.

“The Arabs are Semites too, so they can’t be anti-Semites.”

Actually this one is correct. The Moslem arabs are Jew-haters and Everybody Elseihaters but not anti-Semites. It is nonsensical to oppose the larger group of which one is a constituent member.

What they mean by “It’s a great religion” is “There’s a lot of them and they’re scary with their beards and burkas, and they chop heads off”.

You are right. I went to a communion party for my niece last night and there were so many little ones there, and I kept thinking about how we need to do Everything to protect them, from the muslims, from the fascist left, from the radical black movement, from the gay mafia, from illegals with bad intentions...it’s a multi-front war.

Remember what our Heavenly Father said:

You want to see the "End of the Matter" ? That's a VERY long time burying dead Muslims, ... burying a lot of DEAD Muslims!

And here's WHY !


Muslims are well know for lying about their faith. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

As I posted...

Islime is not just at war with Christianity, it is hostile to ALL other ways of life. I would like to see people of all non-muslime faiths come together to eradicate this scourge, or at least contain it in its dusty cesspool in the sand dunes.

Call it an ecumenical army.
