My copy of the quran was translated by a devout muslim. All one has to do is read it to understand how twisted, blatantly foul, licentious and murderous it is.

Wrote something similar to this =but not as well on FB and just got a 7 day ban. Full dhimmitude, force fad jeil non free speech for anyone who says say Mo was a freak barbarian murderer, Pedo's deserve their nards chopped, fed to them and killed, or maybe the illegals deserve to GO back!...all deeemed horrors and hate speech from an olive skinned frecke face Jooooooooo-ish Christians.

The odd thing is few"friends" will touch the in depth writing. They want thr jokes and the self-ish-ies and pics of their kids...yet when I tell them FB is the epitome of pedo freinds grabbing their baby pics they unfriend but it's true, sad but true.

Nevertheless I liked the article, just venting a little.

Great post. I am curious In Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah ,Eerdmans ,reprint ,1986 Book 1 pp.4-5 “In his daring madness the Syrian king Antiochus IV (Epiphanes) had forbidden their religion,sought to destroy their sacred books,with unsparing ferocity forced on them conformity to heathen rites, desecrated the Temple by dedicating it to Zeus Olympius, and even reared a heathen altar upon that of burnt offering (1 Macc. 1>54,59 ,Josephus Antiquities XII 5.4.) Worst of all his wicked schemes had been aided by two apostate High Priests ,who had out vied each other in buying and prostituting the Holly Office.
Yet far away in the mountains of Ephriam (Birthplace of the Maccabees ID with modern ElMedyeh about 16 m. NW of Jerusalem in the ancient territory of Ephriam) Godhad raised for them a most unlooked for and unlikely help. Only three yrs. later and after a series of brilliant victories by undisciplined men over the flower of the Syrian Army ,Judas the Maccabee—Truly God’s Hammer—had purified the Temple ,and restored the altaron the very same day On which the “abomination of desolation” had been set up init’s place.”The footnotes on the meaning of the term Hammer “...We adopt the derivation from “Maqqabaha “ -a Hammer,Like Charles Martel(the French man who led the Army that turned back the Islamic Invaders at Tours? ; the restoration of the Temple — 1 Macc . IV.52-54 ;Megill Taan 23;on the Abomination of Desolation— 1 Macc 1.54 (See Daniel 11:31 and Matthew 24:15 in a Christian Bible. these references in The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah seem to make no reference to Christian/ Muslim opposition but seem to rely on the Hebrew roots of our Christian faith. What say You? How does this fit with your post?

Mohammed waged war against all non-Moslems beginning in 623 AD. A non-Moslem could convert, be put to the sword, or, under certain conditions, stay alive as a non-Moslem.

[Mohammed gave lip service to the “People of the Book” who were allowed to live under Moslem rule, subject to the dhimma contract in an Islamic state; i.e., they were second class citizens with few, if any, rights, and had to pay the “jizra,” or annual tax to be allowed to live in the Islamic state.”

Following his death in 632 AD, Islam waged war against non-Moslems, and have continued to do so to this day.

Following Mohammed’s death in 632 AD, the conflict between two factions of Islam re: the rightful heir to Mohammed began. It continues to this day. The Sunni/Shia dispute is the world’s longest running “Hatfield and McCoy”feud!

Taxman Bravo Zulu, Matt!

A stunning truism, in one picture!

I hope it goes viral - am sending it to my entire email buddies list, and will encourage them to do likewise!

Thanks.

Thanks, that’s why I make them. I got the idea from a similar meme, but mine is a big more clear.

Mohammed wasn’t born until AD 570, and the Christian New Testament (bible) was complete by about AD 100. Judah the Macabee lived in the 160s BC. The Christian, Charles Martel, defeated the Muslims in France in AD 732.

Therefore these all were in different time periods, so naturally there is nothing about Mohammed or the Muslims in the New Testament.

Captures the entire essence of the argument, Matt, clearly and concisely!

In the times before Islam there was no conflict between The West and Islam.

Sometime in the future, when there is no Islam, there will be no conflicts between the rest of the world and Islam!

I posted prematurely. Here is what I should have said:

Sometime in the future, when there is no Islam, there will be no conflicts between the rest of the world and Islam!

Until there is no Islam, there will be conflict!

moozlums arose out of murder and subjecting others. They continue no matter what. Read thier guiding tome...the quran. No moozlums...know peace.
