It is a battle between good and evil
Ever since the Crusades, people in the west have seen the prophet Muhammad as a sinister figure ...

The reason that is such a prevalent view today, is simply a matter of education - How many schools even teach world history over how many grades? If they even teach the periods from Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, they gloss over them in a few chapters.
The periods after that? Mostly blank other than mentions of the Crusades until the 15th century. All the time between is just mostly nothing beyond a few sentences. But the period from 600 AD to 800 AD is zilch; any historical events in North Africa, the Middle East, India, southern Europe purely fantasy since they are never mentioned.
Worse when muslims are mentioned, they are referred to as Saracens, Mussulmen and the like, confusing every one into thinking Islam did not really exist then and these evil doers are some other people. Is it any wonder most people and especially Christians think of mussulmen as worshiping a prophet who is messiah-like in a somewhat mystical and beautiful religion. Any mention that it just is not and was not so to these non-muslims brings derision and defense.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist

The writings of the saints of that time declared islam to be a heresy, and so it is to this day.
Muhammed, whatever his fate, died and has been judged, as has allah. islam is a religion of death, not life.
Choose life.
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.
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!
In the times before Islam there was no conflict between The West and Islam.
moozlums arose out of murder and subjecting others. They continue no matter what. Read thier guiding tome...the quran. No moozlums...know peace.
