Re: [CTRL] Islam worships the same Deity as Jews/Christians?

[Foxter]

Tsadowq, You are so much more erudite than I.  I want to ask:  do you know what sixth law or canon or whatever it is where it is said, roughly, that if you kill infidels you earn a higher place in the afterlife?  Thanks, Foxter Here-- is where June is wrong in this particular post. June claims that Islamic believers worship the same Deity -- as do us Jews and Christians. Jews and Christians worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Islam reverences the God of Abraham and Ishmael... The dissimilarity here, especially for those of us who have comparatively read the Bible and the Koran, is more than a simple and semantic difference; it is a profound and ungiving dichotomous wall between Islamic submission and Judeo-Christian freedom. If June should desire to open her flap in regard of my own knowledge of these intensive differences, I will assure her that I am versed well enough through the Koran, to quote any surah if the need should arise. The Koran does not respect Jews nor Christians; the Koran specifically denies that Jesus was the son of God, ("And they say, 'The All-merciful has taken unto Himself a son.' You have indeed advanced something hideous!"). These facts on their own, prove that Islam respects neither our belief in Christ nor our God in Him. "The Jews say, 'Ezra is the Son of God, the Christians say, 'The messiah is the Son of God.' That is the utterance of their mouths, conforming with the unbelievers before them. God assail them! How they are perverted!" We are considered infidels to the Moslems, and the lack of our submission/islam, is to be brought about by the sword. For the record, any references to the Koran, have been (and will be in the future), gathered from the A.J. Arberry translation. Should June wish to challenge any of the statements which I have made to date on this subject, it is recommended that she first, go and buy a copy of the Koran and read it. Then, June might take at least two more years to study it. This might save her some embarrassment. Let us also recommend that June begin her learning spree by reading book V, The Table, to find the anti-Jewish and anti-Christian rhetoric contained therein. These five pillars of Islamic belief... Shehada Salat Zakat Sawm Hajj ...share NOTHING in common with the Jachin and Boaz of Judeo-Christian faith. Isaac was laid upon the altar, NOT Ishmael. Isaac was born of the freewoman, and Ishmael of the bondwoman. There is again, a profound difference... ...and I guess one would have to actually study these issues to understand them. Tsadowq
