Oh shit. Let’s bomb Egypt into oblivion to eradicate al-Qaeda like we did with Iraq and Afghanistan.
I get it now. That is sick. Very, very sick.
My God that is a brave woman.
I don’t understand the “Mohammad is dead” chant. Of course he is. So will we all be. The message he brought on lives though. What kind of message does Zionist Judaism want to leave? Soldiers chasing 10 year olds? Let Zionism be dead, soon, inshallah.
He would say it was anti-Semitic and he would get Dershowitz to campaign until the person would be fired.
Are people fighting over God? That’s news to me. I think people fight over resources, people fight for power and people fight because their greed can’t be satiated. I have no problem with atheists. To you, your way, and to me, mine.
eljay,
We are part of the Abrahamic tradition, whether you believe it or not does not change that for us. We are not saying that to please the Christians or the Jews. Except for some interfaith circles, the Jews and the Christians have always rejected us as being part of that continued tradition, as do many atheists, and others. However, it doesn’t put a dent in our belief that we are indeed the children of Abraham, spiritual and otherwise.
Abraham is no minor figure in the Quran. He’s the “Friend of God,” and very near and dear to Muslim hearts. I don’t really understand your dismissive attitude about what Abraham means to us. We believe Abraham was a “Muslim,” not a Jew, not a Christian, not a founder of a “new religion.” He was a Muslim like others before him were too, who believed in One God. He has more prominence because his progeny really spread across the Earth. A Muslim doesn’t encourage believers to convert to Judaism or Christianity because we believe that the Jews and then the Christians brought changes to God’s religion and altered the book, so reverting back to the “original” Abrahamic faith would be going backwards and accepting those changes that corrupted the Word of God.
I hope that explains that it’s not a PR stunt when we say that we indeed have a very real spiritual connection with Abrahim (may Allah bless him).
seafoid,
I like your parody. You should expand on it. Write a play and have it performed. Seriously.
Excellent post, Phil. What a smart lady, that wife of yours! :) I agree with her assessment of why we like to read memoirs.
There goes the chance of winning another Oscar, Emma!
Not only that, didn’t hear much about the Muslims killed by the same killer. Didn’t even know about it until he shot Jewish children. Which goes to show how much non-Muslims think the lives of Muslims/Arabs are worth.
