Miles’ “erudite” take on Allah is that the god of the Qur’an is “more merciful” and “more moral” than the God of the Bible.

What Does Islam Teach About... Violence

The Canaanites were not removed merely because they had Nephilim (who were fully human) among them; most of their tribes had none. Not to mention, originally God was going to drive them out rather than have them slaughtered in warfare.

I’ve heard it said that the difference between Allah and Yahweh is that Allah delegates to his minions the atrocities that Yahweh kept for himself.

***The reason God ordered the Israelites to kill entire groups of people when they entered Caanan***

Originally Hornets were to drive the Cananite out, but the Israelites balked. That generation died in the desert, and their kids had to fight to take the land. Even then, they did not do as GOD said. Soon they were making peace treaties with the surrounding tribes, doing as they did....

People forget that the Canaanites were given 400 years reprieve to get their act together. They failed, and because of their vile sexual sins, the land itself spewed them out, just as it did the Hebrews centuries later by the conquest of the Assyrians and the Babylonians.

And what happened to the land? The Northern kingdom of Israel-Samaria was replaced by five pagan tribes, the Southern kingdom remained fallow for 70 years, till the Return.

Most of the time “scholars” trash religion. But PC trumps everything. Because he thinks most practitioners are dark skinned, he switches to admiring *slam, the most violent unnatural religion there is.

By favoring *slam, Christianity will be brought to an end, which is their ultimate goal.

Jack Miles must be a retired professor of religion at the University of California Irvine.

Compared to the erudite Robert Spencer, on the topic of Islam, Jack is a naif. Jack should stay retired and not venture into the literary world to expound on subjects to which he is profoundly inept.

Professor of religion? Sheesh, I feel sorry for his former students.

Some people just happen to be full of you know what. You would think that many of them acquire some wisdom as they grow older, especially politicians; but this doesn’t hold true. Just take a couple examples like Bernie Sanders or Queen Nancy. You would think at their ripe old age some enlightenment would have taken place, prior to heir pending departure to the other side which isn’t that far off, at least leave a good impression behind but no, they pride themselves to spout even more stupid stuff than they ever have. Just amazing..

Perhaps he appears more merciful because he allows more behaviors that the One God Jehovah counts as sins.

We could say “amazing” but that would be ignoring facts that the professor is either ignorant of or ignoring that:

“....Miles ignores the real reason why there are so very many Qur’an-motivated terrorists and so few, if any, Bible-motivated terrorists: while there is a great deal of violence in the Bible, it is descriptive, not prescriptive. That is, it describes violent acts commanded by God, and that has created a number of theological problems that have preoccupied many Jews and Christians ever after, but nowhere does it present those violent acts as something to be imitated.” .....”The Qur’an, by contrast, exhorts Muslims to wage war against unbelievers in commands that are presented as universal, that is, applying to all Muslims for all time. It tells believers that “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah.”

" No doubt Christians have behaved violently in the name of Christ throughout the history of Christianity,..."

No that would be the Catholic Church throughout the past 1600 years or so. True Christians, unlike muslims, do not act violently.

Allah is not God. He is the great deceiver. This is a battle for souls. I am on team God. The dems are on that other team.

There is no Allah. There never was an actual god named/referred to as Allah.

Regardless of what you can find about God and Allah being the same, this is FALSE.

Allah is just a NAME, a title. Arguing about where “Allah” came from is just semantics.

WHERE did the person/being/god known as “Allah” come from? Not the WORD “Allah”, the “god”!

“Before the inception of Islam, most Arabs were polytheistic pagans, believing in an unfeeling, powerful fate that could not be controlled or altered or influenced by human beings.” (No Allah)

“Islam is a religious system begun in the seventh century by Muhammad. Muslims follow the teachings of the Qur’an.

“...the seventh century...” SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS AFTER THE BIRTH OF CHRIST!

(REMEMBER, recorded time is based on the BIRTH OF JESUS!)

Also, “... the Jewish Bible claims that a Jewish monarchy existed starting in the 10th century BCE...”

“...10th century BCE...” A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE CHRIST!

So, ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED years BEFORE Mohammed INVENTED Islam and it’s FAKE god Allah, our God Jehovah reigned on earth and heaven.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_Bible

http://www.prophetofdoom.net/Prophet_of_Doom_Islams_Terrorist_Dogma_in_Muhammads_Own_Words.Islam

NO ONE (except the mad man, pedophile, illiterate, murderer, rapist, terrorist) Mohammed, has EVER seen or heard Allah.

Yahweh (God) was seen and/or heard by hundreds, if not thousands, of people, not to mention the thousands who saw Jesus and the Hundreds that saw the resurrected Jesus.

Do NOT insult my God by saying God and Allah are the same god!

Absolute Blasphemy!
