Do whatever you want to do with the nazarene.
1JOHN 5:10-12

'He that believes on the son of God has the witness in himself:he that believes not God,has made him a liar;because he believes not the record that God made of his son,and this is the record,that God has given us eternal life,and this life is in his son.He that has the son has life;and he that has not the son of God has no life'

@Baskha,Alphadoti,alpha,Rassa and others of same persuation.
There is something in Islam that makes the followers drift into militarism.
A few may choose to remain level headed,and in this respect it's hats off for @ Bashka.
But the thread that runs across the Islam umma is - destroy anything that is perceived to be anti-Islam - Never mind that it may not appear in the books explicitly.
Criticism is not tolerated period.
There are misdemeanors that can be atributed to individuals,but most of what we see and read about,is clearly sanctioned by the rank and file.

Fellows against whom fatwa has been declared,- Rushdie,the Danish cartoon artists/jounalists,the Somali-Dutch lady turned Islam-critic live in terror!!!!
Because of this religion,supposedly full of compassion,these souls keep looking over their shoulders lest someone blows himself up,primarily targeting them.



Things arent always the way they look like

...a small innocent child is strapped with bombs by his father around his waist and send to an Israelite shop across by a Palestinian who is a devout Muslim. As soon as he gets there the father,through a remote control detonates the bombs,killing the child and others. What kind of religion is that?

May be what many people have not realised is that those who do the same thing in the name of Islam are like the guys of kinagop who were building some houses in holes/wells and carrying old worn out gas-masks claiming end of the world... That not withstanding,the fact that it doesnt receive alot of condemning from our Muslim brothers makes it look like they condone such acts.

Sometimes i ask myself,Christians are around 33% of all population in the world. Will God send all the other 70% to hell? Note am a staunch christian and i do not doubt christianity in any way... just those thoughts that go unanswered.

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

According to Wendz's table,the only old religions... is Hinduism!
