".... He [Fahim] explained to me that he had never actually read the Koran, but, had grown up with it everywhere naturally accepted as the spoken true word of Allah.

His arguments with the radical Islamists in his native language made him wonder how they could have so warped the teachings of Muhammed.

So, he read every word over the two year period!

His conclusions are very interesting to me. I thought I'd share them with you.

He told me he realized what the problem with Islam is. It is the moderates who are totally confused! The Koran is not teaching peace and love at all. It is the fanatics who are correctly representing what the teachings of Muhammed are: violent and bloody extermination of the NON-believers in every OTHER religion! And he suddenly knew he could not have any connection with it--OR a God who displayed such a mindset!"

These beheadings of infidels by the way are actions described in the Quran, thats why these extremists are doing it.

Muhammad personally beheaded over 700 people. Is it any surprise his followers do the same?

thats why these extremists are doing it

Sadly, the Muslims doing these things are not extremists...they are Fundamentalists adhering strictly to the Quran.

Several months ago Terry posted a topic about a fascinating conversation he had with a long-time Muslim friend about this very thing.

Jehovah told to Moses: "....kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man"

by opusdei1972 in

in numbers 31 we read the following:.

jehovah then told moses:2 take vengeance for the israelites on the midianites.

afterward you will be gathered to your people.3 so moses spoke to the people, saying: equip men from among you for battle against midian and to execute jehovahs vengeance on midian.4 you should send 1,000 of each tribe of all the tribes of israel into the army............ 7 they waged war against midian, just as jehovah had commanded moses, and they killed every male.8 along with the others slain, they killed the kings of midian, namely, evi, rekem, zur, hur, and reba, the five kings of midian.

oppostate: It was not a command of God that the children and mothers should be slaughtered....God did allow this to happen

So what's the difference between ordering it or just standing apathetically by and watching it happen? God didn't have the power to stop it if he wanted to?

No matter how you argue it, god is a dick.

And, hamsterbait is correct. Moses was barred from the Promised Land because he didn't give enough credit to the egotistical, narcissistic, self-absorbed, vain, everyone-look-at-me god, Jehovah.

In a childish tantrum because he wasn't getting enough attention, Jehovah took it out on Moses. God had no problem with infanticide and genocide, but what really pissed him off was Moses allegedly stealing some if His thunder.

Amazing that anyone still claims that Islam is a religion of peace with these neanderthals on the planet.

Neanderthals were far more advanced.

ucantcomehome: it seems they were looking to 1914 and something big happened

Actually, those who watched world events knew a war would break out in a big way in Europe decades before it happened- not a matter of if, but when. Otto von Bismarck was one such person. Incidentally, CT Russell predicted nothing resembling the events that actually transpired in 1914.

Last warning and prediction

In December 1897, Wilhelm II visited Bismarck for the last time. Bismarck again warned the Kaiser about the dangers of improvising government policy based on the intrigues of courtiers and militarists. Bismarck's last warning was:

Your Majesty, so long as you have this present officer corps, you can do as you please. But when this is no longer the case, it will be very different for you.

Subsequently, Bismarck made this prediction:

"Jena came twenty years after the death of Frederick The Great; the crash will come twenty years after my departure if things go on like this" ― a prophecy fulfilled a little late when, twenty four years after his resignation as Chancellor, World War 1 began in August 1914.

"Europe today is a powder keg and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal ... A single spark will set off an explosion that will consume us all ... I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you where ... Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans will set it off."

--- Otto von Bismarck

.

For years it was thought that the Balkans would be the epicenter of a European wide conflict ("those damned Balkans" as Bismarck called them). Foreign offices even figured how it was going to happen: the Germans would let the Austrians go unchecked and Russia would refuse to lose face by allowing it. When the Balkan Wars erupted in 1912, administrators held their breath, but the fact that they were contained to the Balkans was a source of optimism for the doomsday predictors (James Joll in "The Mood of 1914" makes a good case for this).
