NO, actually, it contains a lot more passages in which Christianity is spoken of in a positive light, than the Bible has passages painting Islam in a positive light.

And here, folks, with one dashing sweep of the pen, Mr. Gonzalez accurately paints himself as an uneducated boob.

THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN CENTURIES BEFORE ISLAM EXISTED! Just how do you think the Bible should refer to Islam.

Sheesh! I'm done with this moron!

What a silly statement. The Bible was written before the Koran. Therefore it has no statements about Islam.

"NO, actually, it contains a lot more passages in which Christianity is spoken of in a positive light, than the Bible has passages painting Islam in a positive light."

I certainly hope so.

Islam was invented circa 621...six centuries AFTER Christianity came into being. Muslims proudly admit that Muhammad plagarized [my term, not theirs] the Torah and Christian Bible for material for his new religion. He also, of course, drew heavily on the ancient customs and laws of Semitic Arab tribes.

The Bible would therefore hold no references to Islam, per se, because Islam didn't exist.

Sorry to be rebumping this thread, but do you think the Bible not have anything positive OR negative to say about Islam is because it was completed about 500 years before the founding of Islam?
