| Message | Mohammed was not a prophet, jesus even warned us about fake prophets coming to lead people away. In the koran there is many contradictions one being that it says the Gospels are the truth, They call the christain gospels guidence and light. The Koran says jesus was not the son of god but the gospels say he was repeatedly. there is one contradiction of many. The koran says the world is flat and the sun sets in a pool of mud. Mohammed was clever he used the name of god to achieve power. He tried to get christain and jes on his side by saying there gospels etc... are all true etc... When the christians and jews refuse to follow the fake prophet Mohammed he gets hostile towards Christain and Jews. For the record Islam means peace in arabic the religious meaning is submission to god. so the Religious Islam does not mean peace. |

| Message | ok................... Firstly, Islam came before Christianity, so whatever "jesus" says, whether he exists or not, means nothing in this situation. Secondly, the bible has many contradictions itself, which all christians deny and say that its full of uncertainty........ But most importantly, i could not care less what the respective books say about any religion, im referring to what the religions, and the members do.... not what books they read. I completely hate Christianity's complete intolerance of other religions, races, nationalities, peoples...... Also, i never said that Islam was good, just that it (marginally) better than Christianity, however, i neither support, nor tolerate, either of them...... |
