"The Truth Shall Set You Free"

Global Warming—A Method of Power and Control

2008-11-07T10:18:00.029-05:00

All scientist basically say, “millions of years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the world, when the earth was much warmer than it is today.” Now if that was the case, was T-Rex driving around in his SUV warming the planet? Of course he wasn’t. Scientists have also discovered that the planet Mars is warming. Are there Martians on the planet Mars building factories and driving SUV’s? Obviously not.

The Middle Ages were warmer than it is today (see the History Channel’s special “Little Ice Age”), in fact, it was so warm that when the Vikings settled Greenland they brought their livestock over—livestock cannot live in Greenland today. Maybe that’s why they called it Greenland? Anyway, were the Vikings building coal fired power plants warming the planet? Were Robin Hood and his Merry Men driving around Sherwood Forest in their SUV's warming the planet? Of course they weren’t.

Now with these facts, we can logically conclude that “man-made global warming” is a hoax. So then, why are our politicians telling us we need to solve this, and how are they proposing we solve this “climate crisis?” By declaring carbon dioxide (you know, that substance we exhale and plants take in to produce the oxygen we need to survive) a pollutant, and then taxing those emissions from the factories and power plants that produce the goods we buy and the energy we use—can you say price increases! After our leaders get through taxing and regulating carbon dioxide emissions from these sources, what's to stop them from seeking to control carbon dioxide emissions from another source—us.

Let’s face it, "global warming" is a means of power and control over “we the people” by our “non-representing representatives.” It can be summed up by two quotes: the first from Vladimir Lenin, the first communist leader of the Soviet Union (whose birthday is coincidently—or perhaps not—the same day as Earth Day), “A lie told often enough becomes the truth;” simultaniously our politicians will be laughing all the way to the U.S. Treasury, counting the tax receipts from their "Carbon Emissions Tax" shouting the Jerry Maguire slogan—“Show me the money!”

Post Script: In an interesting aside, the government will collect their “Carbon Emissions Tax” from a cap-and-trade system. Under this system the government will issue carbon emission permits (at a cost of course) and set carbon dioxide limits that every business will have to adhere to. Those who exceed their limits can trade, or in other words buy (my, this is getting expensive) carbon credits from another business who has emitted under their limit. Those unable to purchase carbon credits will be forced to pay a fine—“show me the money” indeed. I can’t wait to see my electric bill after this goes into effect. And one more thing—didn’t Enron use to trade energy in much the same way as the way this cap-and-trade system is supposed to work?

Secret To The Survival Of Islamic Civilization

2008-07-19T19:33:00.022-04:00

“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed” (John 3:20). Since some Muslims try really hard to get videos removed from YouTube with their flagging campaigns; in this posting, I want to address those Muslims specifically. What are you afraid of? What does that say about your religion; that you have to connive and scheme to keep people from knowing the truth? Again, what are you afraid of? It seems that you’re actually afraid for people to know what the Islamic scriptures actually say, which this audience will begin to find out why as they continue reading.

But in your defense, Allah was afraid for people to know the truth too, as we find in Qur’an Surah 5:101-102, “O you who believe! Ask not about things which if were made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if you ask about them while the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you." Now let’s stop right here. Allah just said for Muslims not ask questions, but they can ask questions and I quote, “while the Qur’an is being revealed.” The Qur’an was revealed 1400 years ago. So if Muslims today have a question, sorry your out of luck, because as the Qur’an says and I quote again, “But if you ask about them while the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you;” anyway, moving on with Qur’an Surah 5:101-102, “Before you a community asked such questions, then on that account they became disbelievers.” So I can see why you don’t want people to know the truth, because as Allah himself said, ask questions about Islam and you’ll stop believing in it. I guess that’s why Allah said in Qur’an Surah 4:89, “They but wish that you should reject faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. But if they turn renegades, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.” Seize and kill those who turn renegades. Well, since we’re dealing with life or death here, let’s check with Allah’s messenger Muhammad, just to be sure we understand who Allah’s talking about when he’s telling Muslims to seize and kill those who turn renegades. Bukhari V4B52N260, “If someone (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.” Well, you can’t get much clearer than that.

So according to Allah, not only can’t you ask any questions, but if you leave Islam and Muslims find you, they’re to kill you. And one other thing that Allah says in Qur’an Surah 4:89, and that is Muslims are not to make friends with non-Muslims. This not making friends with the infidels seems to be very important, because Allah said the same thing in Qur’an Surah 5:51, “O you who believe! Take not Jews or Christians as friends. They are but friends to each other. And if any among you takes them as friends, then surely he is one of them.” Don’t take Jews or Christians as friends; no wonder the Muslim world hates us. Their god commands them not to make friends with us.

For those of you hoping for an Islamic reformation, if you check your history, the Protestant Reformation started after the printing press was invented and people began to read the Bible for themselves. So why is it that the more a Muslim reads the Qur’an, the more violent it is they become? On this subject of Islamic reformation, let’s see what Muhammad had to say about such things; speaking as if he was in Allah’s paradise, Muhammad said in Bukhari V9B88N174, “Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed the religion after me.”

Anyway, if the threat of death and torment isn’t enough to keep Muslims inline, Allah went one step further in ensuring his control, and that can be summed up in one word: Hijab. That’s the name of the covering that Muslims women have to wear when the leave their home or are in the presence of men who are not their family members, because as you’ll learn (and as the people of Europe are beginning to learn), Muslim men cannot be called upon to control themselves. To best explain this, I’ll post the history of why Muslim women wear the Hijab and the command from Allah that they wear it, putting it in story form; then I’ll post from the Islamic text the same material. By doing so I think it will become clear to all non-Muslims as to why Muslims don’t want people to know what their scriptures actually say; I mean after all, look at what great lengths they went to try and silence Salman Rushdie.

Anyway, here’s Bukhari’s Hadith and Qur’an Surah 33 in story form: Umar, wanting to make sure that women are "kept in their place," continually goes to Muhammad and says, "You need to have your wives veiled." Muhammad says, "I don't think that's necessary Umar" and ignores his pleas. Not giving up on his idea, Umar thinks up a plan and hides out in the area where the women go to use the bathroom at night. Although it was dark, Umar recognizes Muhammad's wife Sauda because she was so tall and says to her (while she's using the restroom?), "Ah ha, I can recognize you!" Immediately Umar runs to Muhammad and says, "I could recognize your wife Sauda when she went out to go to the toilet." Not quite knowing what to say, Muhammad dismisses Umar, and retires for the evening.

The next day however, Muhammad comes out and says, "I've received a revelation from Allah commanding that all the women be veiled, and this is what he told me. Allah said, 'O great prophet, Allah’s apostle, lord of the sent ones, leader of the Allah fearing, apostle of the lord of the worlds, the peerless, the unequaled (Ishaq’s The Life of Muhammad, page 234), tell your wives, your daughters, and all the Muslim women to cover their entire bodies, leaving only their faces exposed. That is the best way for the men to know the women are Muslims, so they won’t bother them. But if you men do bother the women, know that Allah is very merciful and will always forgive you. Now if there are any Muslims out there who don’t follow this or any of my other decrees or if they spread false rumors as to why I have handed down this Surah—curses—they are sick twisted fools and I want you to get rid of them. Seize them wherever they are and kill them! That is the way I have always dealt with people, and that is the way I always will.'”

Unbelievable you say? Here’s the story straight from the Islamic text, beginning with Bukhari V1B4N148, "The wives of the prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. Umar used to say to the prophet "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes)."

Qur'an Surah 33:59-62, "O prophet! Tell your wives, your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is ever oft-forgiving, most merciful. If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts are a disease and those who spread false news among the people in Medina do not stop, we shall certainly let you overpower them, and their days in the city—as your neighbors—will be numbered. Accursed, they shall be seized wherever found, and killed with a terrible slaughter. That was they way of Allah in the case of those who passed away of old, and you will not find any change in the way of Allah."

No wonder Muslims continually carry on flagging campaigns. The truth is devastating for Islam. John 8:32, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Additional Notes: For those of you who may want to know more on why women are treated so poorly in Islamic society, here are a couple of Islamic scriptures that will help you to understand why:

1) The History of al-Tabari Volume I, page 280, “Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid."

2) Bukhari V1B6N301, “Once Allah's apostle went out to offer the prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of hell-fire were you women. They asked, Why is it so, O Allah's apostle? He replied, You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you. The women asked, O Allah's apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion? He said, Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man? They replied in the affirmative. He said, This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses? The women replied in the affirmative. He said, This is the deficiency in her religion."

Muhammad said in the last Hadith that a woman’s menses was a sign of her being deficient in the religion. The following scripture (and I do mean scripture because Sunni Muslims consider Bukhari and Muslim’s Hadiths Islamic scripture) is an example of why Muslims don’t want people to know what their scriptures actually say: Bukhari V9B93N639 (Narrated by Aisha), "The prophet used to recite the Quran with his head in my lap while I used to be in my periods (having menses)."

The Bible For Muslims

2008-05-09T19:57:00.026-04:00

Muslims say that Muhammad was a descendant of Ishmael, and most Muslims consider themselves in a religious sense, descendants of Ishmael. With that, let’s turn to the Bible, Genesis 16:11-12, "Behold, you are with child, and you will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction. He will be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him.” Well, that pretty much sums up the 1400 year history of Islam. Though some of you may still be wondering, will Muslims always be in conflict with their neighbors; can’t they all just get along? Let me explain further, or better yet, I’ll let Ishmael’s descendant Muhammad explain: Qur’an Surah 9:123, “Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto him).” Well, I guess not. So as always, God is accurate in His prediction.

Now, let’s fast-forward about 2000 years and turn to II Thessalonians 2:3-4, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come [referring to the second coming of Christ] unless the apostasy comes first,” now lets stop here; the apostasy, or as the New King James says, “the falling away.” What could that be? I Timothy 4:1-3, “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from certain foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who know the truth.” Forbidding people to marry; what religious organization forbids people, or certain people to marry?

Anyway, back to II Thessalonians chapter 2, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.” Let’s read that last line again, “so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.” What’s on the temple mount today? The Dome of the Rock, the 3rd most sacred shrine in Islam that says, “there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”

While you’re contemplating this passage, let’s turn to another one of Paul’s letters, Galatians 1:8-9, “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” So Paul, who proven through the fulfillment of the prophecy in II Thessalonians chapter 2 is speaking for God, says that even if an angel preaches anything other than Jesus Christ and Him crucified, let him be accursed. Keep this in mind as we continue.

Fast forwarding almost 6 centuries to the sands of what is now Saudi Arabia, we read a story found in the Islamic text in Bukhari V1B1N3, which is narrated by Muhammad’s child bride Aisha, who he married when she was six and started having sexual relations with her when she was nine (Bukhari V7B62N64, 65, and 88, which by the way is against what is said in Song of Solomon 8:8-9, and I Corinthians 7:36), we find the first of what would be a series of revelations over a 20 year period given to Muhammad by an “angel” who would later identify himself as Gabriel. In the first of these revelations, the angel appears to him in a dream, and tells the illiterate Muhammad to read; when Muhammad replies he can’t read, the angel seizes him and presses him to the point of death, while at the same time saying (among other things), “your lord is most generous.” Picture the visual here; beating up and choking someone while at the same time saying how generous they are, sounds like something a gangster would do. Anyway, after the third replay of this scenario, Muhammad runs home frightened to his wife Khadija, jumps in bed, and hides under the covers.

Now, let’s compare Muhammad’s Gabriel (the one who likes to beat and choke), with the Gabriel from the Bible. The prophet Daniel, writing about his revelation from Gabriel says in Daniel 8:18, “but he touched me, and stood me upright.” So Muhammad’s Gabriel throws him down to the ground and chokes him, and Gabriel from the Bible touches Daniel and stands him upright—interesting.

Next, let’s compare the Jesus of the Qur’an and the Jesus of the Bible. Muhammad, speaking the words revealed to him by his angel, said in Qur’an Surah 4:157, “but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not.” Modern English translation: I Muhammad, an illiterate man who was born 6 centuries after the fact, really know what happened. The angel who beat me up and choked me said that Jesus was not crucified, someone who looked like him was. And those guys from the 1st century who were alive at the time, they don’t know what they’re talking about.

Now, turning to the book of Matthew (one of those who were there with Jesus in the 1st century), what do we find Jesus saying to Peter when Peter told Jesus that He will not be crucified? Matthew 16:23 “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” So Muhammad said that Jesus was not crucified and almost six centuries beforehand, Jesus says that anyone who does not want Him to be crucified is either: following the will of Satan, or following their own earthly desires, again—very interesting.

Turning to the history of al-Tabari, (Islam’s most trusted historian) we find in Tabari VI, page 83, “This is Muhammad bin Abdallah, who claims that Allah has sent him as his messenger with this religion and that the treasures of Persia and Rome will be given to him in conquest.” And also Bukhari V9B87N141, “I heard Allah’s apostle saying…while I was sleeping, the keys to the treasures of the earth were brought to me and put in my hand.” So as we conclude: Muhammad’s “angel” who beat him up and choked him, not only told him that Jesus was not crucified, but if he did what he told him to do, he would make him very rich (this gangster analogy is making more and more sense as we continue). I Timothy 6:9, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” And II Corinthians 11:14, “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”

II Thessalonians 2:3-4, and 9-12, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God…that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, in order that they may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.”

Who Is Allah, The Conclusion

2008-01-16T22:47:00.012-05:00

In my two postings, Who is Allah, Parts I and II, I said that Muhammad was the prophet of Satan and gave evidence (using Islamic scripture) to support my claim. But you may ask, how do Muslims see Allah? Since they worship him, how do they describe who he is? Since that’s an excellent question, let’s do some research and find out what Muslims say about their god.

A quick google search of “names of Allah” will turn up a whole list of Muslim Web sites that list the ninety-nine names of Allah. Ninety-nine names you may ask? Why does Allah have ninety-nine names? One of the reasons why is because in the Hadith of Abu Hurairah, Muhammad said that Allah has ninety-nine names. If you're wondering why Muhammad would say something like that, let me explain; or better yet, I’ll let Muhammad explain: Bukhari V4B56N732, “Allah’s Apostle said, I have five names: I am Muhammad and Ahmad (the most praiseworthy); I am Al-Mahi (the obliterator) through whom Allah will eliminate infidelity; I am Al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected after; and I am also Al-Aqib (there will be no prophet after me).” Tabari VIII: 182-183, “The people assembled in Mecca to swear their allegiance to the Messenger in submission. He received from them an oath of allegiance to himself, to heed and obey…Now go for I have accepted your allegiance and praise.” Qur’an Surah 48:10, “Verily, those who pledge allegiance with you (Muhammad), pledge allegiance with Allah.”

So now that we know that Muhammad must be praised and adored, then it makes sense that Allah should be praised and adored even more. So if we take a look at the ninety-nine names of Allah (which the majority of them are some variation of how great Allah is) there are a few of them however, that should grab your attention. Since the Arabic spellings on these vary, I’ll just list the English translation. Those names are: the Abaser, Afflicter, Destroyer, Distresser, and the Humiliator. If you’re a Christian, you’re probably seeing something like big red flashings signs going off in your head saying: warning, warning, danger, danger! Especially that destroyer name: where have we heard that before? Revelation 9:11, “They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon” (destruction), “but in Greek he has the name Apollyon” (destroyer). Oh yeah! That’s where.

So again, that brings us to the same question: is Allah really Satan? Well, let’s look at one of the most well known verses in the Bible that refers to Satan and see what it says. Isaiah 14:12, “How you have fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning!” The phrase translated as “Lucifer, son of the morning” from the Hebrew text is “helel ben shachar” which means: shinning, son of the dawn. Is there somewhere in the Islamic scriptures that refers to someone of the dawn? Actually there is. If we turn to Qur’an Surah 113:1-2 we find, “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Dawn, from the evil of what he has created.” Well now, Lord of the Dawn, creates evil, seems like we have a match.

But just to be sure we have this right, lets turn to Matthew 5:34-37, and see what Jesus said when He was talking about swearing, “But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet…But let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” That’s funny, because in Qur’an Surah 91:1-6 we find Allah swearing by: the sun, the moon, the day, the night, the heaven, and the earth. Not to mention throughout the Qur’an we also find him swearing by such things as: the angels who violently tear out souls (79:1); the planets (81:15); the after glow of sunset (84:16); and of all things, the fig and the olive (95:1). Allah just can’t seem to stop swearing can he? “But let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” Yes, the evil one indeed!

So now we know why every time there is a teaching in the Bible, we seem to find the exact opposite in the Islamic scriptures. Here are a some more examples:

Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Qur’an 9:5, “Then when the sacred months have passed, then kill the disbelievers wherever you find them.”

Luke 24:47, “that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Qur’an 8:39, “And fight them until there is no more disbelief and the religion will be all for Allah alone.”

Mark 16:16, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved.” Qur’an 9:111, “Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties for (the price) that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah’s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed.”

Acts 2:38, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” Qur’an 61:11-12, “believe in Allah and his Messenger and strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives…if you do so he will forgive your sins.”

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Qur’an 5:72, “Surely they have disbelieved who say: Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. But the Messiah said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Verily, whosoever sets up partners with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode.”

Titus 3:2, “to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Qur’an 3:61, “Then whoever disputes with you concerning Him (Jesus) after knowledge has come to you [meaning Jesus is not the Son of God]…then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie.”

Matthew 5:44, “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Qur’an 33:60-61, "If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts are a disease, and those who spread false rumors in the city do not cease, we will urge you on against them…Accursed, they will be seized where they are found and slain with a terrible slaughter."

Matthew 26:34, “Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Muslim C19B035N6581, “When you listen to the crowing of the rooster, ask Allah for his favor as it sees angels.”

I Thessalonians 4:16-17, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.” Bukhari V4B55N657, “Allah’s Apostle said, by him in whose hands my soul is, surely (Jesus) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly, he will break the cross and kill the pigs” [pigs interpreted to mean Jews, Qur'an 5:60].

As we have discovered in these three postings, Muhammad was Satan's prophet, proclaiming Satan's message to the world. Thus, everything written in the Qur'an and Hadiths are the antithesis of what's written in the Bible. I’ll close this series with what seems like a Freudian slip from Muhammad: Bukhari V4B55N544, “Allah's Apostle said, Shall I not tell you about the Dajjal a story of which no prophet told his nation? The Dajjall is one-eyed and will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell.” Qur’an Surah 33:21, “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the last Day.”

Who Is Allah, Part II

2007-12-15T20:18:00.018-05:00

In my last posting, Who is Allah, Part I, I dealt mostly with the texts that comprise the Hadith, the words and deeds (also known as the traditions) of the prophet Muhammad, and gave some examples of how they showed that Muhammad was the prophet of Satan. I mean after all, who else would say that he was given inspiration while he was having sex with a 9 year old. Saying to everyone: I know this looks bad, but don't you worry, because my god says it's ok! In Part II, let’s dive straight into the Qur’an itself. The book that is suppose to be the actual words of Allah, and see what it says about who he is. But here's a hint: Qur'an Surah 113:1-2, "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Dawn, from the evil of what he has created." Hmm, Muhammad's god creates evil. Let's keep this in mind as we continue.

As with any person or organization, you can tell a lot about them by who endorse them and speak on their behalf. Are there any such kind of endorsements in the Qur’an that vouches for its authenticity, other than Allah and Muhammad himself? Actually there is, as we find in Qur’an Surah 72:1-2, “Say (O Muhammad): It has been revealed to me that a company of the jinn has listened (to the Qur’an) and said (to their people), Indeed we have heard an amazing recital (Qur’an) which guides to the right way, so we have believed in it, and will never associate a partner with our Lord.” So who are these jinn? Well, in Surah 15:27 and 55:15 of the Qur’an, we find that jinn are made from fire. In Surah 7:12 it says that Satan himself was created from fire and in 18:50 that Satan is also a jinn. The jinn’s true nature is talked about in Qur’an Surah 72:6 (Surah 72 by the way is entitled The Jinn) as “increasing men in sin and transgression” and in verse 8 and 9 while trying to "steal" news from heaven (a telling choice of words), they are prevented from doing so. So these are unsavory characters, to say the least.

You know, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say these jinn are demons! One of the writers of the Sunnah also believed that jinn were demons as we find in a Hadith that’s similar to the story found in Quran Surah 72:8-9 that’s in Bukhari V1B12N740, “At the same time, a barrier was put between the devils and the news of heaven. Fire commenced to be thrown at them. The devils went to their people, who asked them, "What is wrong with you?" They said, "A barrier has been placed between us and the news of heaven. And fire has been thrown at us." Continuing on with this Hadith about the Devils, we find another conversation that’s like the one from Qur’an Surah 72:1-2, “They went to their people and said, O our people; verily we have heard a wonderful recital (Qur'an) which shows the true path; we believed in it and would not ascribe partners to our Lord." This Hadith concludes with, “And what was revealed to him [Muhammad] was the conversation of the Jinns.” Yes ladies and gentlemen, you read right, according to Bukhari, not only have the devils just endorsed the Qur’an and Allah (calling Allah their lord), but we also know that jinn and devils are one in the same.

Now knowing all this, let’s find out what Muhammad said about jinn to his followers that’s recorded in Muslim C14B039N6757, “Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said, There is none among you with whom is not an attaché from among the jinn (devil). They (the companions) said: Allah’s Messenger, with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he only commands me for good.” A demon commanding someone for good, now there’s an original idea! Or perhaps he’s been so consumed by evil, he can’t tell the difference between right and wrong: I think it’s the latter. So the jinn or demons endorsement of the Qur’an, Muhammad, and Allah can only mean one thing: it’s an endorsement of the Devil’s religion!

Since I’m making a serious claim here, let’s review how we arrived at this point. When Muhammad was a child, some of his relatives were afraid he was demon possessed. The people who lived with Muhammad, the Meccans, said he was demon possessed. Muhammad himself, said he was demon possessed, and later told his followers he had a demon attached to him. And finally, the demons endorse Muhammad, Allah, and his Qur'an. If this was a chess game, I would say “Checkmate;” but since Muslims aren’t allowed to play chess (Muslim C2B028N5612), anything to prevent a Muslim from thinking, I'll continue on. While some of you may be saying, that’s a cheap shot! Why would Allah not want his followers to think? Well think about it, if you found out that you where worshiping the Devil, what would you do? Allah knew this way back in the 7th century when he revealed Qur’an Surah 5:101, “O you who believe, ask not about things which if made plain to you, may cause you trouble,” because in the very next verse we find that those who did ask questions, “became disbelievers.” Muhammad, being the Messenger of Allah, also taught this, as Bukhari records in his Sunnah V8B76N480, that Muhammad forbade, “idle talk, asking too many questions in religion…and burying your little daughters alive.” I guess Muslims have always had a thing for “honor killings”, but I digress.

So now you know why anyone who even questions Islam, the prophet Muhammad (or names a teddy bear after him for that matter) must be immediately silenced, because the truth, if it comes out: it’s over, their religion is finished! And to make the point perfectly clear that descent will not be tolerated, and that no one even thinks about leaving Islam, Muhammad taught his followers as recorded in Bukhari V4B52N260, “if a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.” So now you know why you hear very few Muslims speak out against terrorism and violence: they can’t. Not only is it un-Islamic (as I give examples of at the bottom of my blog site under the title Terrorist Justification for Violence), they do so at great personal risk. As Muhammad told the Quraysh tribe in Mecca who criticized him, "By him who holds Muhammad's life in his hand, I will bring you slaughter" (Ishaq's The Life of Muhammad, page 131).

If you’re a Muslim and happen to get through reading all this, contrary to what you might think, I don’t hate you. If I was brought up in a Muslim society, I might think just as you do. Speaking of societies, we in the West have gotten to the point where we are afraid to make any value judgments about anyone or anything. But sooner or later, we are going to have to decide, whether we value a culture whose deity say’s, for example in Qur’an Surah 18:102, “We have prepared Hell for the unbelievers as an entertainment for them.” Or value a culture who’s God say’s in II Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Between a society that believes in Quran Surah 9:123, “Fight your disbelieving neighbors, and let them find harshness in you.” Or one who believes in Matthew 22:39, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Contrary to what the atheist think, our laws in the West are founded on the Bible; thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor, for example; just as laws in the Muslim world are based on Islamic scripture, hence 200 lashes, for the rape victim.

Also for Muslims, allow me to prove the Bible has not been corrupted as you have been taught, so that the Quran and Biblical scriptures I have contrasted will make more sense to you. In Qur’an Surah 2:41, Allah, through Muhammad, said to the Jews in Medina, “Believe in what I have sent down (this Qur’an), confirming that which is with you (the Torah and the Gospel), and be not the first to disbelieve therein.” Now, there are two problems with that statement. First, the Jews don’t believe in the Gospel. But more importantly, Allah said, the scriptures that are with you, that is with the Jews, in Medina, in the 7th Century A.D.. The Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek in the 3rd century B.C.; it’s called the Septuagint, and it’s used in Biblical translations of the Old Testament today. There’s nothing in the Old Testament about Allah or Arab prophet anywhere. So if the Old Testament today, matches the Old Testament from the 3rd century B.C., where does that leave Muhammad in the 7th century A.D.?

In the New Testament, one of the most common verses used by Muslims clerics is John 14:16, which says, “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever.” If you read the very next verse and also verse 26, it tells who the Helper is, and it's not Muhammad. Let’s read it again, John 14:16-17, “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.” And John 14:26, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” You see, the Helper is the Holy Spirit.

Who Is Allah, Part I

2007-11-12T09:41:00.005-05:00

As we see Muslim violence all around the world, seemingly senseless killings while the perpetrators shout “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is Greatest) and even issue death threats against cartoonist: I think its time we take Theo Van Gogh’s last words to heart. His last words while being murdered in the name of Islam for his production of the 11 minute movie entitled Submission Part I were, “can’t we talk about this?” I think it’s high time we have a talk and find out who is this “being” that seems to drive so many to kill and whose prophet can’t stand in the least to be ridiculed. My sources for this posting will be the Islamic scriptures themselves: beginning with Ishaq’s Sira, called Sirat Rasul Allah, which has many passages similar to the Qur’an and which you can purchase at Amazon.com under the title The Life of Muhammad, The History of al-Tabari, volumes VI - IX, Bukhari’s and Muslim’s Hadith, which are also called the Sunnah (from which Sunni Muslims get their name, because the follow the Sunnah of the prophet), and of course the Qur’an itself.

Like with anything, let’s start at the beginning and go back to the 6th century when Allah (the moon god) was just one of the many gods enshrined in the Ka’aba. In fact, there was also a moon god in ancient Mesopotamia who at one time was called “Sin”, and wouldn’t you know it: one of His symbols was a crescent moon too, but let’s stay with the topic at hand. Since Muhammad is the lone prophet of Islam, let’s begin with him. You can often find out a lot about a person by examining their parents, so let’s go to Ishaq’s Sira, The Life of Muhammad, page 69, and see what it says about Muhammad’s mother when she was pregnant with him: “A voice said to her, you are pregnant with the lord of this people and when he is born say, I put him in the care of the one from the evil of every envier; then call him Muhammad” (the same language that’s in Qur’an Surah 113:5 when it’s referring to evil). So am I missing something here or did the Islamic scriptures just say that Muhammad was to be placed in the care of Satan? Certainly this must be some mistake, and I’m sure Ishaq will straighten all this mess out for us later on.

Well, as the story of Muhammad continues on pages 71 and 72, we find as a child he is placed in the care of some relatives. One day, they suddenly rush to take him back to his mother after some strange encounter with two men “clothed in white” who threw him down to the ground and opened up his belly. And of all the things Muhammad’s relatives and his mother would talk about after something happened to him, what do you suppose it was? If you guessed demon possession, you’re correct! “When she asked if I fear a demon possessed him, I replied that I did.” Well, perhaps we’re jumping to conclusions here, because after all, it could be that Muhammad’s relatives were just a bit eccentric. Let’s continue on with our research.

As Muhammad grew, we find that others are saying a lot of things about him too. I’ll skip over a wide array of pronouncements about the prophet of Allah that are said to be made by Jews, Christians, and Soothsayers (a weird combination indeed) that are in the first 100 pages of Ishaq’s Sira and in Tabari’s VI volume, but one in particular is interesting. On page 79 of The Life of Muhammad, we find that a seer, who was also described as a fortune teller (so in other words an occultist), takes a keen interest in him. “Bring me that boy”, the occultist says, “for by Allah he has a great future.” Hey, nothing beats a good satanic endorsement! But maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves because after all, Muhammad hasn’t yet spoken for himself, or Allah hasn’t yet spoken to Muhammad: but he will, in the cave of Hira.

One of the more detailed accounts of what happened in the cave of Hira is found in Bukhari’s Hadith, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 3, which is narrated by Muhammad’s child bride Aisha, who he married when she was 6 and started having sexual relations with her when she was 9 (Bukhari V7B62N88 and Tabari IX 131). We find Aisha recounting the story told to her by her husband, that an “angel” (who would later identify himself as Gabriel) appears to him in a dream and tells the illiterate Muhammad to read. When Muhammad replies he can’t read, the angel seizes him and presses him to the point of death, while at the same time saying, among other things, “your lord is most generous:” a curious and contradictory statement indeed. This scenario is played out three times, after which Muhammad runs home frightened to his wife Khadija and covers himself in blankets (or in other words, runs home, jumps in bed, and hides under the covers); hence the title of Surah 73 and 74 of the Qur’an (the 3rd and 4th in revelation order), The One Wrapped in Garments and The One Enveloped. So indeed, it must have frightened him for some time. Now I ask you, from a supposed revelation from God, doesn’t this sound a bit odd?

Fortunately, this same event and what followed was written down by Ishaq with added detail in The Life of Muhammad on page 106. After which, Muhammad instinctively knew what he had encountered in that cave: and it wasn’t good. Muhammad said, “Woe is me, poet or possessed…I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and gain rest.” Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard right. Muhammad, the lone prophet of Islam said after his first encounter with the “angel” he was demon possessed. This is also confirmed, albeit unknowingly, in Bukhari V9B87N113, when Muhammad said, “A true good dream is from Allah and a bad dream is from Satan.” Yes, he had a very bad dream indeed. So then who was it that appeared to Muhammad in the cave of Hira? As we’ve discovered so far (that Muhammad was to be placed in the care of Satan), and what we shall soon discover, it had to be a demon or the Devil himself. For those of you who are Christians, this shouldn’t sound too far fetched, because in II Corinthians 11:14 Paul writes, “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” Still not convinced? Well, let’s continue on shall we.

Remember Aisha, Muhammad’s 9 year old wife? The cave of Hira wasn't the only place were Muhammad said he received a revelation from Allah. While talking to one of his other wives about his child bride, Muhammad said in Bukhari V5B57N119, “Don’t trouble me by harming Aisha, for by Allah, the inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her.” Now just stop and think about that statement for a moment. Muhammad just said, he gets revelations from Allah while in bed with a 9 year old girl. Apparently, Allah approves of having sex with 9 year old girls and rewards Muhammad with Qur’an revelations for doing so: sounds demonic to me. However, even before that event, some of the Meccans saw Muhammad for what he really was, as we find in Bukhari V6B60N475, “A lady came and said, Muhammad! I think your Satan has forsaken you, for I have not seen him with you for two or three nights!” And what do you suppose happened next? Did Allah or Muhammad issue a repudiation of such a claim? No; but they would figure out they had better start doing that with regularity later on. Instead we find as Bukhari continues, Allah revels what would later become Qur’an Surah 93, “By the night when it darkens," Allah loves darkness, "your lord has neither forsaken you nor hates you.” Oops! I guess sometimes the truth just slips out.

While you may be saying, this cannot be! How can these scriptures be called scriptures? Well, these scriptures and many others are taught in every Muslim school from Morocco to Malaysia (and also in Arabic in the West), as coming from Allah himself and Muhammad as the "par excellence" to be imitated. And as we shall see in Part II, these scriptures are only the beginning.

Conversations With An Atheist, Part II

2007-10-28T23:25:00.001-04:00

Here's the second part of some conversations I had with an atheist that I meet on the internet. Again, I will not publish her name or her emails to me; however, I've made some minor changes so her arguments will be very plain. This will be the last one in this series I will do for a while, but check back in two to three weeks when I will show who Allah and Muhammad really are.

I agree! Plants cannot live without light. Light was created the first day. So you’re willing to accept one part of the Bible to justify your beliefs, but reject another part: that doesn’t make any sense. Again, the Bible doesn’t say the earth is six thousand years old and there are hints given in the Bible that it is not. In Genesis 2:4, it says “these are the generations of the creation of the heavens and the earth”, then it describes all of creation as, “in the day the Lord God made the earth and the heavens”, so creation was a period of time. Also, when Cain is lamenting his punishment, he says in Genesis 4:14, “and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me” and in verse 17, “Cain knew his wife”; so where did all the people come from if the Bible says the earth is only six thousand years old? Another clue is in Genesis 3:16 where God says, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception: in pain you shall bring forth children." Therefore, we can conclude that at least Adam and Eve had children in the garden. Also, Adam laterally means “the man”, so if carbon dating is somewhat accurate, human beings could have indeed been around for a very long time and the story of the Garden of Eden could be a parable: remember, Jesus spoke in parables. The Bible is a spiritual book, not a science book.

The Bible gives only one story, not two of why there are so many languages, and that’s in Genesis chapter 11. Chapter 10 tells of the genealogy of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and where their descendants settled and what nations they would found, It even mentions Babel and the generations long after Babel. Chapter 10 tells that there are many languages, but It doesn’t tell why: the why is told in chapter 11. Have you ever read a book or watched a movie where at some point in the story it tells of what happened at an earlier time? This could be because they were written down by different authors. I know the first five books of the Bible are called “The Five Books of Moses”, but the writing in those books never make that claim; or it could just be the right flow for the story.

So let me get this straight, your basic problem with the Bible is the place or status of women in the Bible? Remember, the Bible was written in the ancient world, and if you look at the laws in the Bible, women were treated very well compared to the rest of the world at that time. Although polygamy was allowed in the Old Testament, it was never condoned. In Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5 and Mark 10:7-8, "a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." Wife is singular. So God's plan is one man and one woman. Read John chapter 4, the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. Jews would have no dealings with Samaritans, men generally didn't have conversations with women they didn't know, especially in public, and by going to draw water in the heat of the day, she was an outcast in her own village, yet Jesus talked to her. Jesus broke the norms of the day, the customs of the ancient world, and treated women and all people with respect: so should we.

If you think of life as some man woman power thing, you’re missing the boat! I know in I Timothy 2:12 It says that in matters of the church a woman is not to have authority over a man, and that’s because in verse 14 It says, “Eve sinned first.” But also in Galatians 3:28 It says, “we are all one in Christ Jesus.” So we are all equal, it’s just when it comes to matters of the church that a woman is not to have authority over a man, but it’s not some power thing. An example of those who are in authority is given in I Peter 5:3 which says, “nor as being lords over those entrusted you, but being examples to the flock.” And Jesus said in Matthew 18:4, “whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” and in verse 6, “whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he was drowned in the depth of the sea.” So again, it’s not some man woman power thing. Think about it, how great a place the world would be if all men followed Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her", and Ephesians 5:28, “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself."

I will leave you with this one verse because I think it’s a great summation of the whole Bible and how we are to treat one another: I John 4:20, “If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”

Conversations With An Atheist, Part I

2007-09-29T16:55:00.001-04:00

These next few weeks I'll post a series of email conversations I had with an atheist in response to me sending her what I wrote in my "Something to Think About" post. I will not be publishing her emails to me; however, by my series of responses, the bases of her claims and questions will be obvious. I've made some minor changes to make our conversations as clear as possible.

First off, where is the scientific evidence for life starting with some unknown bacteria, somehow as the result of the Big Bang? There is none, it’s just a theory. Just like the Big Bang itself, there is no proof: it's just a theory. It's true the moon reflects light from the sun, but it still is a light to the earth by night. Carbon dating assumes (and you know what happens when you assume) that carbon is lost at the same rate over time. If for some reason carbon is not lost at the same rate over time, there goes the dating process. However, the Bible doesn't say the earth is six thousand years old: again that's someone's theory. In the first chapter of Genesis it describes each period of creation as a day, but in the second chapter it says "these are the generations of the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the day God made the earth and the heavens." So clearly creation is a period of time not literal days. When we die, don't our bodies turn to dust?

If your cat had so much pain and discomfort during her pregnancy and giving birth, I suggest you call a veterinarian. Compared to humans, animals have minimal discomfort during their pregnancy. Why don't you ask some biologists? Or better yet, ask your mother about morning sickness and other women about their pregnancy and especially their delivery. And you still haven't answered all my questions, so I'll ask this one again. If an object at the quantum level can be in multiple locations at the same time, and matter at the quantum level behaves differently whether its being observed, isn’t it possible that an All Powerful Force said “Let the seas be gathered together in one place, and let the dry land appear.” the Bible's version of creation, if you're going to be honest about it, according to the recent discoveries in quantum physics has to be examined, of course unless you already have your mind made up.

The bottom line however, is that the Bible is not a scientific or archaeological book. It's a spiritual book, that summed up, tells of the redemption of mankind, although every archaeological find has confirmed what the Bible has said as being accurate. As far as human history goes, the recent scientific evidence that the universe is continually expanding and the earth being round, which was referred to in Isaiah 40:22 around 700 B.C., which again you haven't answered as to how a human during that time could have known that, unless God told him. Like many of the other points I've made, I see you already have your mind made up.

But a couple of other facts before I go; speaking of Ishmael, the father of the Arabs, God said in Genesis 16:12, "He will be a wild man; his hand will be against all men and all men's hand will be against him." Ishmael's descendants, one of whom was the founder of Islam said in Ishaq:204 "Do you realize what you are committing yourselves to in pledging your support to this man (Muhammad)? It is to wage war against all mankind." Research Islamic history from the 7th century to today, or go talk to the Africans in Sudan who are being slaughtered by Muslim militia, or the people in East Timor who last decade, 1/3 where killed by Indonesian Muslims, or the Thai's or Hindu. I'm sure you didn't hear about the Hindu holocaust or the Armenian genocide when you was in school or any of the Muslim violence during the 1400 year history of Islam. Then, there is the prophecy in Daniel 9:24 - 26, which was around 540 B.C.. 69 times 7 equals 483 years, but that's in Jewish years and that comes out to approximately 476 years as we know them today. 476 years from when the order for Jerusalem to be rebuilt by King Artaxerxes in 444 B.C., Nehemiah 2:3 - 8, gets you to 33 A.D. (there's no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar): so again, the Bible is accurate.

As I conclude, I don't mean to come off in a negative way. I just hope you will look at these facts which are proven, except the findings in quantum physics which are still being examined, and examine them with an open mind and find out for yourself if they are true. You will soon discover there is so much evidence on It's side, that the Bible has to be the word of God; just the mere fact of all these authors over more than a thousand year period tell such a consistent story should perk your curiosity. I wish you a good day and happy investigating.

Something To Think About

2007-09-17T13:26:00.001-04:00

The scientific consensus is life began on earth in the oceans and then it came on land. In Genesis, where does it say God created life first? The answer: in the oceans. Although that may stump you for a minute, I’m sure you atheist will be able to think of some “scientific” reason why the rib is the only bone in the human body that grows back and why we are the only species on the planet to have intense pain in child birth.

Wait, I know what you’re thinking, somewhere in the Bible it says, “the sun stood still” and we all know it’s the earth that revolves around the sun. Well, if you were to follow that logic, no one would ever say sunrise or sunset. But anyway, for your information in Isaiah 40:22 it says, “God sits above the circle of the earth and stretches out the heavens.” Of course today we all know the earth is a circle, and would you believe it, scientists are now saying the universe is continually expanding: fascinating. Oh, and one more thing that will surprise you, the word religion is never used in the Old Testament, and the few times it is used in the New Testament it’s not used in a positive way.

So to sum it all up, since the Bible and science are more in agreement than you’ve realized and since It has also been found to be archaeologically accurate, don’t you think it may be time to re-examine your position; or to put it another way, if the physical things the Bible says are true, doesn’t it make sense that the spiritual things It says are also true?
