I am a Christian teacher of the Manuscripts. I have no desire or intention to try to change your mind, but you are making what may be the biggest mistake of your life. I have been a teacher for over 36 years; I teach the Scriptures from the original languages. Your relationship with God is not the same as "religion" or some denomination. People run the Churches and people are flawed; you will never find people who are perfect.

Islam? In order for you to understand the Quran, you must know and understand what abrogation is. That means to cancel and replace. When Mohammad was coming up with "revelations" that contradicted earlier ones, his own people questioned him on this. His answer you will find in the Quran sura 2:106 where Mohammad tells you that if one verse makes no sense or is contradicted by another, simply abrogate (cancel and replace it) with the later given revelation which will be better or similar to it. This means that all those nice fuzzy sweet verses in the Quran about tolerance and love of neighbor, etc, are cancelled and replaced by his later verses of dismemberment, chaos, bloodshed, intolerance and death.....lots and lots of death.

Mohammad ends the sura with this line: Know you not that Allah can do all things? YEAH, APPARENTLY ALL THINGS EXCEPT GET WHAT HE WANTS TO SAY RIGHT THE FIRST TIME????



The Christian Scriptures do not call for you to cancel and replace one verse with another. The Word of God stands and is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lord does not have to correct his own words later; of course Mohammad does, since he is a MAN and nothing more.



I haven't stepped into a denominational Christian Church of any kind in over 39 years and my relationship with God is stronger than ever. I do not involve myself in any one church because they do not teach what is written, but rather what they THINK ABOUT what was written. God is not happy with the Churches and states that he will visit them first upon his return, and that judgement will BEGIN AT THE PULPIT....



Do you really believe you will receive 72 virgins if you martyr yourself? How exactly will you enjoy those 72 bodies when you will be no longer in a flesh body?? Do you understand that Mohammad needed motivation to have his people fight to their deaths? It worked, too. They fought for what they believed was revelations from Allah, when it was only the ramblings of a war-lord who told his men they were fighting at the direct order of Allah. Of course he couldn't keep his own "revelations" straight.....he was using them to motivate men to lose their lives so that Mohammad himself could live a life of luxury as a king; so those revelations had better had been good.....but he never had a problem because now he could just have the screwy one he just blurted out justified by abrogation: just cancel and replace it with a "better one". THIS IS PERFECT TO YOU???



CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE BELOW FOR SOME COMMON SENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS YOUR OWN STUDY ON READING THE QURAN. And then make a decision if you believe it is God's will for you to treat your mother, sisters and daughters like dogs. Tell me if its perfect to kill innocent people rather than to allow them to find their own path to God or Allah or wherever their path leads them.



YOU STATED NOT TO WASTE YOUR TIME TELLING YOU ISLAM IS WRONG; then why would you join Islam when thats ALL THEY DO?? In fact, if you disagree with Islam in Iran, you are stoned to death, and you can't reason with them saying "don't waste your time telling me Christianity is wrong" can you?? What a hypocritical pile of garbage. Start to reason with yourself; use that brain God gave you. So you now plan to join Islam and force it by consent or by violence on the rest of the people?? Yet you asked us not to do this to YOU.



I quess if you want to call pure hypocrisy "perfect", have at it. Call the rest of us HATERS if you choose, but we aren't the ones strapping plastic explosives to our nine year old children and blowing them up in the market place. Open your eyes up and see the truth. If God wants to erradicate all those who do not follow Islam, he could have simply not made those people into flesh, or he could erradicate all of them at one time at any time he choses...ie: the flood of Noah. He does not need or want you to do his work for Him. You are a simple flesh and blood human being like the rest of us, no ability to judge accurately. God judges perfectly because he reads the heart (mind). This is why we leave the judging to Him, not to a bunch of Islamic nutjobs who cut off the heads of their own daughters and mothers. My God, man, where is your head at??

Well, you could start by growing a beard. :-)



So did you examine all religions and conclude that Islam is the perfect religion? I personally don't think it will be around much longer, give it another couple of centuries. Islam doesn't cater for the advancement of mankind so it will fall by the wayside as we go along.



I hate religion, worse thing that ever happened to humanity. If you need a book to tell you how to live your life there's something unsettling about that. You know when you're doing wrong.



If I had to pick a religion I'd be a Buddhist. They're the only ones who's views seem to fall into line with my own. To respect the value of all existing life. Islam doesn't even respect the value of their own people, IE the women. Shameful.

Tom Bake, I do not agree with you on your question statement and as you suggested I will not attempt to change your mind. So with that said, I do have a correction. You would not be converting from Christianity to Islam.

You are not a Christian based on what you have said in this statement above--so converting from it is not possible. Once a person has accepted Jesus as savior and lord of their life-they can no longer turn back and be unborn. So you see the statement has to be incorrect.



Just a small correction as to your understanding of Islamic doctrine or Muslim beliefs--they do not agree that the bible and Jesus are right--to them Jesus is just a man, not God nor God's son, so is not the Christ.



Good luck

Anything that your parents going to do to you doesn't matter, what's matter is that always remember that Allah always beside you. I'm a muslim but sometimes whenever I feel sad, only Allah the place I exposed my sadness. Tears are now normal to me but everytime I remember Allah always beside me I feel strong. I don't know why and I also feel peace and calm. Always remember, as long as you with the truth, with Allah, you will never have to worry any obstacle in your life because He is the Almighty. Besides that, I also heard that in Islam there is a specific pray or salat for those who is in confused between choices. The name was Salat-ul-Istikhara.

http://theislamicworkplace.com/2006/12/25/before-any-major-decision-pray-salat-ul-istikhara/

Hope this help. Pray with the most of your heart and concentration to Allah. Hope Allah gives you the path that is the best.

If you truly believe that Islam is the best way to reach God then you should follow your conscience. But don't take a decision like this on a whim; think carefully before making your choice since Islam is not a religion to enter lightly. Firstly you will be facing a lot of prejudice. Secondly Muslims, like Roman Catholics, don't allow you to unconvert.



Telling your parents may be difficult. I was brought up as a Buddhist but recently became an Airan Christian (i.e. I believe that Jesus is the Messiah but not God incarnate). My mother has found this very hard to accept.



How much do your parents know about Islam? If they are knowledgeable half the battle may be won. If they are ignorant you will face an uphill battle. One book that you could give them is 'The Muslim Next Door: the Qur'an, the Media, and that Veil Thing' by Sumbul Ali-Karamali which gives a concise, 'user friendly' introduction to Islam.



You could also explain that Islam and Christianity are in reality quite close (I was guided towards my current non-Trinitarian views via the Quran). Show them verses in the Quran such as 2:62, 5:82 and 61:14. It could also help to explain that verses such as 5:66 and 9:30-31 arose out of a strong aversion towards anything resembling polytheism.



You may also want to explain how Islamic critisizms of (Trinitarian) Christianity closely resemble those made by some Christians, for example Sir Isacc Newton.



I hope all goes well for you. Keep praying and God will guide you where he wants you to go.



'And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”

And he replied:

“Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”' (Minnie Louise Haskins)

first off, id like to say congratulations, i also converted to islam and its the best thing i have ever done. and for those that say that you need to be circumsticed is not entirely true, male children do, but however if you are a grown male convert then its optional. About telling your family, i obviously dont know them lol, but from my experience i think you should sit them down and break it to them step by step. For instance with me i was a proper wild girl before changing to a muslim, i used to drink and party ALOT , i never used to listen to my parents, wasnt interesed in doing anythin with my life.

Anyway when i told my parents that iv converted to islam, they were VERY shocked and thought i was going mad, but months went by and they saw a positive change in me, they saw that i was actually going to college and doing something with my life, but not only that, i also started to listen to and respect my parent, the drinking and late night partying stopped, and eventually they were SO pleased with the fact that i changed to a muslim because it made me into a better person, maybe it would be a similar thing with you.

and for those suckers, who think islam is this and that need to do proper research, not listen to whats in the media about islam. Goodluck on your journey in islam and congrats once again. x



and nikita love your the deluded one, your blind never mind brainwashed sweetheart, everyone is entitled to their own belief and if you dont like it then do one!

Dear muslims :



Over the years, we tried to create humanitarian face from Islam

op #keepislampure

Hope for change and a better future

unfortunately all efforts led to the failure

islam ideology is inherently hospitalized for brutality

as we know, freedom is an undeniable logic and an unavoidable destination for the humanity so..



one day somebody's gonna have to make a stand. one day somebody's gonna have to say "enough"...



enough barbarism ..

enough slavery..

enough Child abuse.



shall we play A game?

verses from the quran



إِنَّمَا جَزَاء الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الأَرْضِ فَسَادًا أَن يُقَتَّلُواْ أَوْ يُصَلَّبُواْ أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم مِّنْ خِلافٍ أَوْ يُنفَوْاْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْيٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ .. مائده/33



The reward of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to create disorder in the land is only this that they be slain or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on alternate sides, or they be expelled from the land. That shall be a disgrace for them in this world, and in the Hereafter they shall have a great punishment



فَإِذا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَاء حَتَّى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا ذَلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ لَانتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَكِن لِّيَبْلُوَ بَعْضَكُم بِبَعْضٍ وَالَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ..محمد/4



And when you meet e those who disbelieve, smite their necks; and, when you have overcome them, bind fast the fetters — then afterwards either release them as a favour or by taking ransom — until the war lays down its burdens. That is the ordinance. And if Allah had so pleased, He could have punished them Himself, but He has willed that He may try some of you by others. And those who are killed in the way of Allah — He will never render their works vain.



يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَاتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةً وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ ..توبه/123



O ye who believe! fight such of the disbelievers as are near to you and let them find savageryin you; and know that Allah is with the righteous



وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللّهِ وَقَالَتْ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُضَاهِؤُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبْلُ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ" ..توبه/30



And the Jews say, Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say, the Messiah is the son of Allah; that is what they say with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. Allah’s curse be on them! How are they turned away!



"قَاتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَلاَ بِالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَلاَ يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلاَ يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ حَتَّى يُعْطُواْ الْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ" ..توبه/29



Fight those from among the People of the Book who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor hold as unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, nor follow the true religion, until they pay the tax with their own hand and acknowledge their subjection.



"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلاَ يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَذَا وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ اللّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ إِن شَاء إِنَّ اللّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيم "..توبه/28



O ye who believe! surely, the unbelievers are unclean. So they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year of theirs. And if you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His bounty, if He pleases. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.



فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُاْ الزَّكَاةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ..توبه/5



And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the unbelievers wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.



وَاللاَّتِي يَأْتِينَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَرْبَعةً مِّنكُمْ فَإِن شَهِدُواْ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ حَتَّىَ يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ أَوْ يَجْعَلَ اللّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلًا ..نساء/15



And those of your women who are guilty of lewdness — call to witness four of you against them; and if they bear witness, then confine them to the houses until death overtake them or Allah open for them a way.



وَاللَّذَانَ يَأْتِيَانِهَا مِنكُمْ فَآذُوهُمَا فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمَا إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا ..نساء/16..



And if two men from among you are guilty of it, punish them both. And if they repent and amend, then leave them alone; surely, Allah is Oft-Returning with compassion and is Merciful.



طلاق / 4

وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَأُوْلَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا



And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the 'Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubts (about their periods), is three months, and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise, except in case of death] . And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is until they deliver (their burdens), and whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him.

وَلاَ تَنكِحُواْ الْمُشْرِكَاتِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَّ وَلأَمَةٌ مُّؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُّشْرِكَةٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ وَلاَ تُنكِحُواْ الْمُشِرِكِينَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنُواْ وَلَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ أُوْلَـئِكَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَاللّهُ يَدْعُوَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَالْمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَيُبَيِّنُ آيَاتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ .



And do not marry Al-Mushrikat (unbelievers, etc.) till they believe (worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (unbelievers, etc.), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (unbelievers, etc.), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember.

Well, I'm a Catholic, and while I'm not interested in converting to Islam, I have long realised that people need to make their own choices about their faith. If you want to become a Muslim, I'm not going to stop you. I'm sure talking to your local Imam would be a start.

Most ppl r trying to stop u but it is a good thing that u studied Islam and found it valuable now 2 your problem. most ppl answered with good tips how 2 tell ur parents here is 1 from me



if your parents r strict then don't tell immediately, wait 4 the right moment & treat them nicely as Islam teaches us to respect our parents, argue with them politely, show them your good behavior and at the end avoid bad company at all cost (Stop listening music & start listening Quran)



search 4 Quran reciting of Rashid al Afasi

Read translation + Tafseer (explanation the meaning of verses) of Quran from http://www.Qurancomplex.com it is the most authentic site of Saudi Government

pray 4 your parent & ask Allah (God) to help u b.coz Dua (Prayer) is a weapon of Muslim {I hope now I'm feeling like a terrorist :) }



peace be upon you

Just explain to them why and what made you want to convert to Islam, show them it's not scary as the media make it to be, and also that Muslims are not terrorists. Explain to them nice and easily. But remember, their your family still no matter what religion they are, so don't lose your temper or anything.



Anyway, Congratulations Bro! Hope its easy for you Inshallah :)

hi cool down guys.... I don't believe in theory's... right Islam is based on theories and has been modified time to time by the most powerful kings the community heads and etc for the one reason is to conquer world .. i have gone through the many Islamic sites most of them promote the spread of Islam

(I ASK IS : IS THIS RELIGION A MLM SCREAM OR WHAT ) CONVERT ONE GET 72 VIRGINS ETC...

ALL THIS THINGS ARE BRAIN WASHING .

I DONT ADVICE U ANY THING I WANT U TO SURF FOR THE RESULT OF CONVERTING TO ISLAM

EX: PAKISTAN IS BANK CORRUPT COUNTRY SO AS BANGLADESH,AFGHANISTAN, TURKISTAN, MANY SOUTH AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND MANY MORE (THIS SPACE IS TOO LESS TO TEL).

ALL THIS HAVE BECOME POOR AND HAVE HATERED AMONGS THEM AND IM SURE THIS PEOPLE LL LEAD TO MORE ALKAIDA,JET ETC ETC.. THIS GUYS HAVE CREATED MANY PARTITION IN ALMOST ALL COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA/PAKISTAN, ISREAL/PALISTIN ETC ETC...



i SUGGEST U NOT TO WAISTE UR LIFE LIKE ANY THING (BOMBER ETC).... FIND SOME MEANING FULNESS OF UR SELF AND JOIN SOME MOTHER TERESA OR ANY NON PROFIT ORG TO SERVE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED ... CONVERTION IS JUST AGAIN SAME OLD SCHEME ... I ASK ALMIGHTY TO NOT TO FALL IN DICH.....

In most of the cases when a person converts to Islam his family/friends become his enemy. So you may face the same problem. But dont worry you may be examined by Allah but be stead fast. Allah will not down you.

At first i be glad that you want convert to Islam



1-if they aren't strict family then you talk with them about Islam

say "how much do you know about Islam? and etc"

talking about some thing is same between Islam and christianity

ex: we have soureh in koran about Mariam (19)and like this and then the advantage of Islam that attract you to islam then ask them about what they reaction about me if i convert to Islam...

After all of that say i convert to Islam



2-If your parents are strict and maybe punish you then don't say to them.



Islam don't need to say i convert to Islam to every one you see ,this is between you and your God.

only say " shahadatein" then you convert to islam



if you want to help i be glad to help you only contact with me

I don't know how you can start that conversation, but you can show your family that Islam isn't as scary as a lot of people believe, and that Muslims still believe in Jesus' teachings and so forth, and there are a lot of things that are alike between the religions.
2011-06-21 04:54:49 UTC
well, i believe islam is the right religion and i am so glad u that :)

Thank you so much for your question, which allow Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) followers to present facts about this Great Magnificent Religion."Islam"

First Know My Brother, that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said,

"The Last Day will not come until ISLAM has entered into every home on earth."

Today ISLAM is the world's fastest growing religion - Even after Sept. 11, 2001.

Second, I like to use the word "revert" as opposed to the word "convert" as it more suits the occasion of a person returning back to his natural condition at birth. The baby is born in true surrender, submission, obedience and peace with his Creator. And this is the desirable position of the Muslim, to be in peace and submission to the Will of Allah (God in English). Instead of thinking in terms of "converting" people over to Islam, it is better understood that they are simply returning back to their natural state at birth. And this is from the teachings of our beloved prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him. (Muslims should always say "Peace be upon him/them" when referring to any of the prophets).

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Every child is born on the "fitrah" (natural inclination) of "Islam" (surrender, submission and peace to the Creator on His Terms). And it is their parents who raise them up to be Jews, Christians or fire worshippers."



Dr. Ted Campbell who is the professor of religion at the seminary school in Maryland and I were both sharing the speakers platform last year in Maryland University. At the closing of a very nice interfaith dialog there came a strange question for both of us. Noah, the moderator said: "This last question is for both speakers: "Why are each of you in your religion?"



Dr. Campbell took his position in front of the microphone and then looked around the room as he thought about the question. I will never forget his words. He said: "I guess I would have to say that I am a Methodist because, well because, my parents raised me that way. As a Methodist."



He was right.



That is what we know as Muslims. However, as I mentioned in my answer to the same question: "And then some are brought back to their original state as a baby." They are "reverted" to Islam by the Mercy of Allah.

Third: Regarding your family, first let them know Islam through your behavior and attitude. You know as a Muslim you must try to do your best to be kind and gentle towards everyone around you...Your parents have rights over you...regardless of their belief....you must show tenderness and respect to them all the time....You must obey them unless they order you to do something opposes the Islamic teachings...even when you refuse to do it...you should do that in the most gentle way you have ever known...

Fourth: Invoke Allah (God) The Almighty all the time to help you and to make you a great example to your family....Ask Allah The Almighty to open their minds and hearts to the Ultimate Truth that the whole humanity needs to acknowledge ......

May Allah The Almighty Bless you..

May Allah The Almighty Help you ...

These sites are going to help you so much...By Allah's Willing
2011-06-21 04:25:12 UTC
Alhamdulillah. Tell them when you are ready and stay constant with your belief. After you convert to Islam does not mean you can ignore your family especially your parents. Stay contact with them and try hard to reveal the beauty of Islam to them. Pray to Allah to give them the right guidance. Hope this would help.

You are already a muslim who is using taqiyya (lying which was allowed by mohammad) for the betterment of islam. blow up and they will know.



@ Ahmed Ahmed: Was god (ALLAH) IGNORANT when it never knew that the vicegerent would shed blood but the angels knew about it. And was allah ignorant at that time or it is still ignorant about it?



ALLAH PAGAN?: because it swears at the stars, the moon etc?



ALLAH CRAZY? it tells Mohammad to fvck a 6 year old girl



ALLAH A STONE? no wonder muslims kiss it. Btw was this allah the same stone Mohammad used to wipe his @r$3 after toilet?



ALLAH IS PARALYZED? it requires angels to carry it which also means that angels are more powerful than allah.



ALLAH DEFICIT IN KNOWLEDGE? it made 1,2800 failed prophets.



ALLAH HAS BREASTS: He expandeth his bosom unto the Surrender, and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray (quran 6:125)



Since allah has breasts may I ask how many??? (human:2 animal:6 allah ???) what is the size of the cups, I am guessing two Jupiters LOL



Oh yeah, he can even expand it as well looks like allah needs the "wonder bra"



allah has face (55.27)

allah has hands (38.75)

allah has foot (bukhari and muslim hadiths)

allah has shin (68.42)

allah has eye (20.39)

Why bother? It's like saying "I prefer to have my testicles gnawed by rats rather than mice".



Why not look to common sense? All the major religions are just variations on the same theme - preaching love and tolerance but inciting hatred and violence. Why not just live your life as you see fit without having to pray when they tell you to pray and waste your life following rules that other men have made up for no discernible reason?

In Iraq, more than 5,000 Muslim converts to Christianity have been identified since the end of major combat operations, with 14 new churches opened in Baghdad, and dozens of new churches opened in Kurdistan, some of which have 500 to 800 members. Also, more than one million Bibles shipped into the country since 2003, and pastors report Iraqis are snatching them up so fast they constantly need more Bibles.



Thousands of Muslims turned to Christ and worshipping Lord Jesus in Morocco, Somalia, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Pakistan, Bengladesh and Maldievs.



Around a million believed in Jesus over the past decade in Egypt. The Egyptian Bible Society used to sell about 3,000 copies of the JESUS film a year in the early 1990s. As per the figures taken from the Millennium campaign in 2000, they sold 600,000 copies, plus 750,000 copies of the individual cassette tapes (in Arabic) and about a half million copies of the Arabic New Testament. Ramez Atallah, the General Secretary of the Bible Society of Egypt informed Pastor Paul Ciniraj by email. "Egyptians are increasingly hungry for God's Word," he said.



'Last Christmas, I had the privilege of visiting the largest Christian congregation in the Middle East, which meets in an enormous cave on the outskirts of Cairo. Some 10,000 believers worship there every weekend. A prayer conference the church held in May 2005 drew some 20,000 believers', Rosenberg told.

DO NOT DO IT!!!



You must read the scriptures and you will see that Islam is a missionary religion based on a pagan moon god called Allah. It has within it many texts that are sickening and champions paedophilia, inbreeding and believes all other are evil.



What you need to do to convert to Islam is, lower your self-esteem, extinguish all belief that man kind is good and be considered a pervert amongst women. Also, you have sexual rights to your daughter from the age of eight. Good luck!

Its like telling us you reject fairies but now realise leprechauns exist. Why should we care what a new follower of the pedophile prophet believes or doesn't believe in?



On the plus side at least you can have four beatable wives now.

B4 u waste ur time-anything I intend 2 join I research both things about & against it (40+yrs I hv done this 4 all things so I'd not jump in2 things I'd regret later)..Islam's a scam>core issues: All men can hate under any title but Quran verses allow violent ppl more excuses 2 kill ppl seen as opposing/insulting its beliefs-Islam claims 2 b only religion-why Izscam prohibits change of belief. Many CONFUSE TRUTH (offends many)/HATE. Koran science claims r already in the Bible/seen w/o koram/2 vague/science cant prove claim. Fatal errors:



Koran denies Jesus is God's Son/died on a cross (only perfect sacrifice 4 our sins=Only Jesus can 4give sins)/rose from the dead (some muslims call Him Messiah but deny His Deity). Israel's God is real/allah isnt--Sons of God r thru Isaac not Ishmael. Allah is generic word 4 God mostly used by Izscam--Satan uses word submission 2 fool ppl who dont know real Jesus (why ppl r confused-PBUH may seem 2 add respect/Izscam claims Bible proves islam but the Bible's corrupt is all nonsense. Muslims/others try 2 live by God's Law, punishment=death. No1 can live w/o breaking God's eternal Law=sin (why we need real Jesus who died 4 our sins).



Only 1 God can occupy infinity-God of Israel (so no other legit gods exist)-only fully proved b/c Jesus is God's Son/wasnt speaking out 2 nor 1000s of sides of His mouth=no confusion-Qorap distorts Bible truth.



Labels/titles/names, history/# of members/converts, amount of time it existed nor claims made about them (ie persecution) means anything-u can call anything anything. Whats practiced makes it whole truth or a lie-dict def doesnt always cover God's full def/word usage/exceptions. Jesus/Bible prophets werent muslims as islam claims (calling a dog god doesnt make it God).



Muslims r told the Bible has many errors/rewritten, that the korap is "the" perfect holy book. Bible has errors only if u dont accept Jesus as God's real Son/u dismiss God's Biblical truth. God'll give u whats in ur heart-dismiss Jesus, He'll harden ur hateful heart.



Jesus is the only way 2 salvation (Acts 4:12, on an personal level) not Islam (God didnt send Muharmud-no NEW prophets after Jesus who cancels need 4 new-teaching prophets). Izscam cant lead u 2 God (only clear 2 1 who knows real Jesus). False teaching/prophets cancel all they claim. When u dont know Jesus, accepting His death/resurrection & true position/Biblical teachings, result is false teachings=kills u/offspring. Many ways seem right but its end=death (cant worship in truth & in error).



Most religions r built on gods man likes/seen as good 2 control masses/agendas (fatal mistakes)-cant all b right (only 1 Bible-why so many interprs? II Pet 1:19-21). Religion doesnt=the truth/cant teach much about God (cant teach what u dont know). Who knows more about a house the Builder or ppl moving in later?



In history only Jesus said He's the way/truth/life & u cant know God w/o Him (Jn 14:6/Acts 4:12/Jn 5:39/10:1,7)-whole truth was complete in Jesus or God doesn't know what He's doing=cant b God. U hv full truth (sets u free) or its all lies=theres no real truth. If Jesus is whom He says He is all NEW teaching/other beliefs/from self-proclaimed prophets/teachers r false/godless or He's 1 more false teacher 2 ignore.



*If Jesus is God's Son then Quran (contradicts Bible); LDS/BoM/mormon (no "another testament"); JWs (twisted NWT/Watchtower/Awake)/Catholics/many Protestants (kept Cc wrong format)/SDA/moonies, Christian Scientists, Scientology/Buddhists/Hindus, others r wrong on Jesus-demotes Jesus 2 prophet/good man-1 way/another. If He isnt God's Son (false prophet) then Bible/all named above r wrong (false prophets)-cant hv it 2 ways-only 1 Jesus=1 true Gospel (2 Cor 11:4).



Many believe in but dont know Jesus-even Satan knows Him. Wrong teaching foundation cancels all ur claims=house built on sand-when sand gives way whole house falls (with what u added/patched/fixed 2 appear better=useless 2 try 2 patch a tire full of holes).



Jesus couldnt hv done whats in NT w/o fully knowing whole OT (impossible w/o God/NT didnt exist yet/Apostles couldnt write NT w/o Jesus having them remember all He did-Lk 24:25-27,45).



Reading the Bible (religious/not) u cant find Jesus w/o His Bible directions (Jn 5:39/10:1,7/3:3,5). God outsmarted us-only the Bible cant b properly known w/o Jesus (Jn 14:6/II Cor 3:14/Is 29:11-12-If Jewish ppl cant unveil OT w/o Jesus all gentiles cant=why many interps exist/called fairy tales). Jesus came bearing the 2-edged (OT/NT) sword of division. U can lead a horse 2 water but u cant make it drink.



Jesus' resurrection defeated evil=sin or no1'd b saved. Jesus ate food 2 reassure disciples theres a connection btwn a Spirit/physical life. If Jesus didnt resurrect/fulfill OT Law all r wasting their time-no human can live w/o breaking God's OT Law=death then eternal Hell.
