Islam

I have been reading the Koran. While it has some lofty words, it is difficult to call it a Holy Book. It is filled with the prejudices of a seventh century meglomaniac who speaks of Judaism and Christianity without any real knowledge. Let me give you some examples of its idiocy:

Sura V, 44: "Or it be among the Jews, -- Men who will listen to any lie, -- will listen event to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their right times and places; they say, "If ye are given this, take it, but if not, Beware!" ... For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the hereafter a heavy punishment.

This book declares all Jews liars and accuses them of changing the words of Scripture to suit themselves. And yet, when the Coptic Bishop accused Muslims of adding words to the Koran, they took offense at his words. Typical of the guilty.

Sura V, 23: "O my people! enter the holy land which G-d hath assigned to you, and turn not back ignominously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin."

This book declares the Holy Land, all of it, to be Jewish territory, and yet today we continue to fight over who owns the land because the Muslims are liars and read not the Koran themselves.

Sura V, 36: "The punishment of those who wage war against G-d (put in Islam here) and His Apostle (Mohammed), and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, crucifixion or cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land..."

The true intent of Islam is seen here. Those who do not convert will be executed, crucified, or lose their hands and feet. This religion is grossly evangelistic and forces the people to believe or suffer terrible retribution. This so-called religion is merely an agenda to wipe out Christianity and Judaism. They claim we are angry at them and want to wipe them out, when it is clear that it they, the Muslims, that are the aggressor.

I will be bringing more of the words of the Koran to you. I want to see that it is not a religion as much as a political philosophy that masks its evil in high sounding words but encourages murder, maiming, and religious intolerance while claiming that the very people who follow Christianity and Judaism are good.
