"I have studied him -the wonderful man- and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ he must be called the saviour of humanity."

-George Bernard Shaw in "The Genuine Islam"

"His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement -all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an imposter raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad."

-W. Montgomery Watt, Mohammad At Mecca, Oxford, 1953, p.52.

# Preface:

It seems tedious to say "Time stands still for no one," yet how true it is! Have you ever wonder whether modern era is moving frontward, rearward or coming to a standstill?

Realms, with unseen boundaries and penitentiary without walls are the true reality of current age. We are being ruled by tyrants. In existing epoch, whether we live under monocracy, democracy, dictatorship, communism or capitalism, all these structures have tyrant kings, with one strapping weapon in their hands. No nuclear bomb is as destructive as this clandestine tool. It is responsible for murder of our minds. It is responsible of mass hypnotism and that bludgeon is "Media."

Deception has always been tool of Satan and "media" has done PHD in deception. If we accede to their encoding and give acquiesce to their alluded information, then we will be swayed to the accomplishment of their goals.

This same deceptive renouncement tool has given a new outlaw to the world "Muslims & Islam." Previously this treatment was gifted to Blacks, Jews and sometime way back to some notorious Christians. Let us reconnoiter whether being a Muslim, I should be guilty or not.

#  Chapter 1: Born sinner? (Christianity and Islam)

" **Does He not know what He has created, and He is the Most Kind, the All-Aware." [Quran Sūrah al-Mulk: 14]**

The Creed of Islam is given to us in a Holy Qur'an:

Say ye: "We believe in Allah,

And the revelation given to us,

And to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac,

Jacob, and the Tribes,

And that given to Moses and Jesus

And that given to (all)

Prophets from their Lord:

We make no difference

Between one and another of them:

And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

(Holy Qur'an 2:136).

"We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows". **~ Katharine Graham, former owner of the Washington Post.**

Given the aberrant information given by so called "Reporters and Expert sources", populace may incriminate Muslims as born sinners. Yet the ideologies which Muslims follow negate this concept. For many Christians, a new born child is a born transgressor, which is contrary to what Islam says that humans are born untainted.

In Christianity, blood sacrifice is used to remove the sins, which as a child they have not yet committed. All my brothers and sisters in the bracket of Christianity are aware that somebody else died for their sins (Jesus peace be upon him?) Christianity teaches that Christians will be forgiven, saved and go to heaven as long as they believe in Jesus (peace be upon him).

If we flip the coin towards Islam and compare the two religions, let see who should be reprehensible and who should be guilt free.

Stipulation to start this comparison will need one major thing "Free mind from any indoctrination." Open your heart and mind and fling away the preconceived notions.

First question which pops up in one's mind is, "How come an innocent is a born sinner?" Visit any Church and you will get fixed answers. Here is a hypothetical situation:

The inquisitive mind, who dares to think, "Please can you validate the claim that a new born baby is born sinner?"

The priest will elucidate, "God created humans to live eternally in Heaven, and that when Adam ate from the tree from which he had been forbidden, God punished him through death and banishment from Heaven." He would further assert "Death was thus inherited by us. The stain on us can be removed only by great sacrifice and for that God Himself came down to us, incarnate in His son Jesus."

"Isn't the Lord Most Merciful?"

"Yes He is."

"Then why can't God forgive our first mistake? Where does Bible teach us about the original sin? The problem is that it is opposing to not only to the teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him), but to the teachings of The Holy Bible itself. Even the idea put forth that all children are born with the black stain of sin runs opposite to events in the ministry. Remember Jesus said 'Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Mark 10:14-15'.He made it clear that unless you are as innocent as a child, you can never inherit the Kingdom of Heaven."

"No my child, Original sin is a state, not something that people perform. It's the normal devout and psychosomatic condition of an individual, not their bad thoughts and actions. Even a newborn baby who hasn't done anything at all is damaged by original sin. Paul with respect to Jesus redeems the world from its sin; For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3, Child, as our faith says that By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has opened heaven to us."

The thinker will point out, "Which scripture Paul is talking about? Hebrew and Torah scripts? But in Hebrew Scriptures we read, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statuses and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him; in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. Ezekiel 18:20-22"

The priest will not give up as yet "Only your belief will get you redeemed. For we walk by faith, not by sight.2 Corinthians 5:7.What we need to recognize is that every justifiable creed in the world accepts that there is a basic failing in the human condition. We are not in perfect submission in front of God. We fail to act according to His plan. It is because of that laws are defined in all religions. Different religions have used diverse terms and slightly different perspectives on the fundamental human flaw. In Christianity, original sin is the name of this concept. In Buddhism it is dukkha Isaiah 43:11: I, even I, am the Yahweh; and **beside Me there is no savior**."

The intrusive mind will still need to persist "If by baptism we become pure of human inaccuracies then why do Christians sin? Why aren't we sinless if we have become pure? All that aside, the Bible is quite clear on the issue of sins: To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifice unto Me?, saith the Lord. I am full of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lamb or of he-goats.Isaiah 1:11.The Holy Bible actually makes it quite clear that forgiveness from sins comes from one's sincerity in seeking forgiveness from Almighty God and from obedience to Him; I desired not sacrifices; I commanded not your fathers, when I stretched forth my hand to bring them out of Egypt, to offer burnt -- offerings to me, but only to obey my voice. Jeremiah 7:21-22"

The priest will enlighten you "If you remember this then go and read what is written in Genesis 6:6, it says "The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled."

The End!

Take a deep breath and before throwing stones at me, please repeat the words of Genesis 6:6 and ponder that to agree onto it would mean that Adam did something, which was out of the will, power, and knowledge of God and that God regretted creating humans. God is All-Perfect. The Bible states clearly how salvation can be achieved "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14"

Edmund Burke said **"Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting."**

May our Creator help us to turn away from the fable tales. May, you realize that you are born unblemished. God never asked us for perfection. He already has perfect beings in angels. God gave us freewill to opt between right or wrong.

One question which must be dealt is the fate of those who came before the claim that God became incarnate and sacrificed himself for the sins of humanity. Some don't even allow non-baptized infants to be buried in consecrated ground because they were believed to have died in original sin. Identify the message in Bible more effectively to hold on to God's way. Otherwise we will be lost in the kaleidoscope of misconceptions.

Bear in mind the verse in the Apostles' Creed, " and (Jesus) descended into Hell" is said to mean that Jesus descended to Hell to free the righteous souls who were there due to the sin of Adam. This leads us to think that all those before the coming of Jesus are in Hell, even if they were from the virtuous. Paul mentioned this himself in Galatians:"... a man is not justified by the works of the law ... for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. I don't think Prophets like Abraham, Moses, Noah and others (peace be upon all) were in hell. All they did throughout their lives was to fulfill God's command. I personally think Jesus (peace be upon him) way was to worship One true God, similar to Moses (peace be upon him).

Matthew 5:17-20

New International Version (NIV)

The Fulfillment of the Law

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

Jesus also made it very clear as to how one can achieve salvation;

Matthew 19:16-19 :New International Version (NIV):

Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.""Which ones?" he inquired.

Jesus replied, "'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbour as yourself."

Critics will say St. Paul taught us that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law. I think in the end, it all comes down to whether you choose Saint Paul words or Jesus (peace be upon him.) because their paths are way different. Jesus ( peace be upon him) never cater to the belief of original sin and blood atonement. No better proof of that than his own words.

Jesus (peace be upon him) stated undoubtedly that he did not come to abolish the law, and as such to even consider Jesus (peace be upon him) of being guilty of such acts does him no honor. In fact, sprinkling water during baptism is from of paganism and from rituals of false gods.

Among these Laws, to which the Christians fall short of, is to refrain from alcohol see Leviticus 10:9, Proverbs 20:1, Isaiah 5:22, Hosea 4:11 & Daniel 1:8, to avoid the flesh of swine see Leviticus 11:8 and to abide by circumcision see Genesis 17:10-14 & Luke 2:21

Yes, I have not forgotten that within the Gospel of John there is an incident relating of him turning water into wine so that party goers were able to have their fill of alcohol. However once again it runs in direct opposition of Almighty God's command.

"Say (O Muhammad): 'O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path.'" [Qur'an 5:77]

One student of comparative religion, Br. Khalid Sayfullah explains clearly. He writes

"The doctrine of original sin is one of the tenets of Christianity which was established in the 5th century A.D., under the influence of Augustine, by the Roman Catholic church. It must be understood from the beginning that this doctrine, is at best, only a theory!

Christians believe this theory to be a Bible doctrine. They reason that, since theologians and preachers teach this doctrine, then it must be true! This theory is not a Bible doctrine and nowhere in the Bible can there be found verses which give credence to it! Where, in the Bible, is it written that all men are guilty and condemnable for the depraved nature with which they are born?

The fact that mankind has the boldness to propagate this (and other) theories as 'Bible truths', whilst being warned by God not to tamper with His Holy Word, by neither adding to or taking away from it, is surely one of mankind's greatest crimes!

"You must not add anything to my charge (to command, assign responsibility to), nor take anything away from it." **(Deuteronomy, chapter 3, verse 4.)**

"Verily, We did send down the Tauraat (to Musa), therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah's Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests (too judged the Jews by the Tauraat after those Prophets) for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the disbelievers." **[Qur'an 5:44]**

Church history records that from the 2nd and 3rd century A.C. onwards, both the practices and doctrines of Christ were increasingly corrupted by heathen philosophies complete with their pagan superstitions and sense of morality. This influence was extensive. On the one hand there was unrestrained sexual lust, and on the other extremes in asceticism; the veneration and worship of saints, relics, images, and pictures; the development of a priesthood with priestly rituals and ceremonies; magical and spiritual powers ascribed to water, sacred words, and signs; water baptism for the remission of sins; and the baptism of infants. Heathen mythology was introduced and branded 'Christianity'!

Many of the early theologians were converts from heathenism, who wedded their pagan philosophical concepts to Christianity. These were educated men who gave the concepts of their heathen beliefs to Christianity, thereby corrupting the purity of the teachings of Jesus(peace be upon him). They believed, especially Augustine, that unbaptised infants are damned because of inherited sin and guilt, and that saints and martyrs could intercede in our favour.

It was from this soil of religious ignorance and superstition that the Augustinian theory of original sin arose. The Augustinian theory declares that since all of mankind is descended from Adam, then on that basis the morality of Adam was transferred to his descendants, and therefore, all of mankind is intrinsically corrupt.

In the Bible of today we can find nothing to substantiate the doctrine of the original sin, infact we are able to find denial of such a doctrine!

"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; a man shall be put to death only for his own sin." **(Deuteronomy, chapter 24, verse 16.)**

"It is the soul that sins, and no other, that shall die; a son shall not share a father's guilt, nor a father his son's. The righteous man shall reap the fruit of his own righteousness, and the wicked man the fruit of his own wickedness." **(Ezekiel, chapter 18, verse 20.)**

Allah explains in Al Qur'an:

"Say: 'Shall I seek a lord other than Allah, while He is the Lord of all things? No person earns any (sin) except against himself (only), and no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then unto your Lord is your return, so He will tell you that wherein you have been differing. **" [Qur'an 6:164]."**

Dr. Abdallah H. Al-Kahtany in his book The Truth about the Concept of Original Sin explains :

" **How does Islam view man?**

Every human being, Islam affirms, stands to benefit from these divine dispensations. The road to felicity is a free and open highway which anyone may tread of his own accord. Everybody is innately endowed with all these rights and privileges. God has granted them to all without discrimination. "Nature", "the earth", "the heavens" - all belong to each and every human.

Indeed, God has done all this and even more! He has implanted His own religion (Fitrah) into every human birth. The true religion is innate, with which all humans are equipped.

Behind the dazzling religious diversity of mankind stands an innate religion inseparable from human nature. This is the primordial religion, Ur-religion, the one and only true religion.

"The religion with Allah is Islam: Nor did the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews) differ except after the knowledge had come to them out of greed [and jealousy] between them; and whoever denies the signs of Allah, Allah is certainly swift in calling to account". (Qur'an 3:19).

Everyone possesses it unless acculturation and indoctrination, misguidance, corruption or dissuasion have taught him otherwise. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:" Every newborn child is born on the innate nature (Islam: complete surrender to Allah). Then his parents change him into Judaism, Christianity or Magianism. **Finally, Islam entertains no idea of "the fall of man", no concept of "original sin"**. It holds no man to stand in an innate, necessary predicament out of which he cannot pull himself. Man, it holds, is innocent. He is born with his innocence. Indeed, he is born with a thousand given perfections, with faculties of understanding, and an innate sense with which to know the true God. In this all men are equal, since it follows from their very existence, from their creation. This is the basis for **Islamic Universalism**."

Islam word literally means "submission to the Will of God."It made faith and deed the sole means of salvation, and not affiliation to any particular group.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe :

" **How strange that in every special case**

one praises one's own way!

If Islam means "surrender into God's will"

It's in Islam that we all live and die."

Those who mislead and deceive, bear the burden of their own sin. Ask yourself now, who should be guilty for moving away from the truth, Muslims or Christians?

Teachings of Jesus (p.b.u.h.):

Jesus called God "Alayho" in Aramaic. ( as Allah in Arabic )

Jesus taught to rinse before Praying as Muslims do {John 13:10}

Jesus bowed down in Submission on the Ground to God as Muslims do {Matthew 26:39}

Jesus said, all of You who Submit your will to God, are my true Brothers and Sisters (Mark 3:31-35) as Muslims do.

Jesus taught Salvation comes from Submitting our will to God and Faith as Muslims do.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" **(Matthew 7:21-23)**

Jesus taught that only God is All Knowing as Muslims do:

"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in  
heaven, nor the Son [Prophet], but only the Father [Creator]." (Mark 13:32)

Jesus taught he is just a servant of God as Muslims are:

"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but  
the will of Him who sent Me." [John 6:38]

Jesus said the word "Muslim" in Luke 6:40, and told others to be a Muslim:

Aramaic translated into Hebrew: "Ein talmeed na'leh 'al rabbo; shekken kal adam she'MUSHLAM yihyeh k'rabbo."

The Correct Translation in English: "No student can be above his teacher, but everyone that is a MUSLIM **,** can be as his teacher."

However Biblical representatives tried to remove the word and translate the word into " perfect" . Even their wrong word clearly supports Islam, because the verse is crystal clear in Aramaic!! The most accurate and honest translation for the Aramaic Mushlam is none other than the Arabic Muslim, which means Believer!

The Holy Qur'an also clarifies:

"And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden." {Holy Quran 5:116}

# Chapter 2: What do you understand about Islam?

Islam: the religion of Devil ?

Christians: the religion of God?

Jews: Those who missed the Boat of God?

Let see who should be guilty among the three...

" **God is not a jigsaw puzzle to be looked and solved by only Paul.**

God is in all our hearts and His manifestations are open for all.

He shows His presence in big canvases and things which are very small.

He shows His path to those, who are sincere in search of it all."

Muslims after the name of every Prophet writes " (p.b.u.h.)" which is short form of, Peace be upon him. Why do they do that? It is because they love and respect each Prophet equally. We have definite affinity between Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three great Semitic religions.

Ahmed Deedat in his teaching briefed it perfectly. Following details are adaptation from the lectures of **Sheikh Ahmed Deedat**. :

Religions of the world can be widely divided into two groups:

Semitic Religions **:** Judaism, Christianity and Islam – all of which are Prophetic Religions.

The Non Semitic Religions: Further divided into Aryan and Non- Aryan Religions.

Semitic Group: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Combined, these three religions give us Unity of God. In the Fundamentalism of teachings of Muhammad (peace be upon him), Jesus (peace be upon him.) and Moses (peace be upon him.) there is **not an iota of difference.**

Note: We said fundamentalism of teachings of Muhammad, Jesus and Moses (Peace be upon them.) not the teachings of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Mark the words, there is huge difference.

"Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: But Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it). It is He who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it)." **(HOLY QURAN 61:8-9)**

When we speak of fundamentalism, like First Commandment, it is same for all three great Prophets:

Moses (peace be upon him):

The following verse is from Deuteronomy of Moses (peace be upon him)

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad"

It is a Hebrew quotation which means

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" [The Bible, Deut 6:41]

Jesus ( peace be upon him.) :

He repeated what Moses (peace be upon him) had said, namely:

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhat".

This is a Hebrew quotation, which means:

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

Muhammad (peace be upon him. ) :

Some 600 years later after Jesus (peace be upon him) a Christian deputation came to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Medina and they had a dialogue for three days and three nights in Masjid e Nabawi. These Christians slept, ate and discussed with Prophet (peace be upon him) for three days and three nights. During the course of discussion of this dialogue, a spokesman from Christian placed a question. He asked "What is your concept of God?"

Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied in Arabic:

Qul huwa Allahu ahadun

Allahu alssamadu

Lam yalid walam yooladu

Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahadun

"Surah Ikhlas which is Chapter 112 of the Holy Qur'an:

"Say: He is Allah, The one and Only. And there is none like unto Him. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten."

**Observe** the startling resemblance between the languages. Very often the same sounding words carry identical meaning in both.

Hebrew Arabic English

Ikhud ; Ahud ; one

The word translated "one" in the above verse is the Hebrew IKHAD. This word is the same as the Arabic AHAD. It means one whole, indivisible. All three Prophets emphasized on the word " ONE"

The difference between Hebrew word and Arabic word is only that of Pronunciation.

According to Muslims, in regard of fundamentalisms there is 'no' such thing as separate Christianity, Judaism and Islam. There is only Islam .

"The Religion before God is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book( Jews and Christians ) dissent there from except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of God, God is swift in calling to account. **(The Noble Quran, 3:19)"**

"...This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion....( **The Nobel Quran, 5:3)"**

So what about Christianity and Judaism?

Don't they exist?

**Yes, of course they exist but not by** name.

The point is, Moses (peace be upon him) didn't say he was preaching Judaism nor did Jesus (peace be upon him) say he came for Christianity.

Who are we to name religion of God?

Know they not that Allah knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture. Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. **(The Noble Quran, 2:77-79)"**

The Word Judaism:

Where did the word come from? Is it in Tanakh , Torah , Bible , Talmud ? No, it's not there! Where did you get it? Whatever the theory is, the fact remains that Moses (peace be upon him) didn't use the word.

If you meet Moses (peace be upon him) in hereafter and ask him " **Oh, Moses (peace be upon him) what was your religion?** **What was the name of religion which you were teaching?"**

I don't expect him to say "Judaism" because the poor man never used that name in his life but he may say , **"My religion is total submission to God's will** " that the beautiful description of his preaching.

**Now** one word for this in Arabic is" Islam". Islam means "Total submission to God's will."In this way, Islam connects Christianity and Judaism to religion of Bani Adam and Bani Noah. It is preserving religion of God in its pristine form.

According to some theories the word Judaism comes from Judah (the son of Jacob peace be upon him.) Jacob(p.b.u.h) sons settled in Palestine. They were divided into twelve tribes. The portion which was occupied by Judah's tribe was called the province of Judea. People living outside Palestine started calling that the religion followed by Judea is Judaism. This is how the word came up. It is just like people outside Islam call Muslims as Mohammedans but Muslim reject that term and never use it for themselves. Muslims don't call themselves worshippers of Muhammad (peace be upon him.) but worshipper of the God of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and other Prophets before him. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not the first prophet of Islam but the last prophet of Islam.

The name Judaism thus was invented by people and not God .Sometimes people like these names and later adopts it for them. Moses (peace be upon him) despite all these facts, never used the word Judaism for his preaching. He was just a prophet who was preaching about submission to one true God.

What about Christianity?

If on Jesus (peace be upon him) second coming we ask him **"Oh Jesus (peace be upon him) what is your religion?" What do you think he will say?**

I don't expect him to say " **Christianity",** as he never heard the term. In his life time he never used the word.

It is ridiculous claim that he will reply Christianity. What do we expect him to say? "My religion is total submission to God's will." Remember he also said:

" **For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent me" (John 6:38)**

Coming back to the point, where the word Christianity came from? It's not in Bible! However there is word Christian in New Testament. The enemies are pointing and saying they are Christians! Enemies are pointing out and calling them worshippers of Christ like non Muslim points at Muslims and try to call them Mohammedans. So you see, these are all invented terms, not given by God .Did Buddha says my religion is Buddhism? Did Jesus (peace be upon him) says my religion is Christianity? Did Moses (peace be upon him) says Judaism is his religion? Answer is No! All these are labels given by outside people to the followers. Linking them to their primordial ancestors.

Moses (peace be upon him) religion was same as Jesus (peace be upon him) and Jesus (peace be upon him.) religion was same as Muhammad (peace be upon him) that is **"Total submission to the will of God** .They were all Muslims (meaning: one, who surrenders himself to God)

Does that mean that Moses (peace be upon him) and Jesus (peace be upon him.) were following Muhammad (peace be upon him.) ???

**Answer is** : NO!

A Muslim is someone who cedes his will to God. Abraham (peace be upon him) was a Muslim in that sense, so were David, Solomon, Jesus, Moses and Muhammad (peace be upon all.). The whole nature , the birds , animal , plants , mountains , air , planets , stars all are Muslims, as all submits their will to God, but only, men rebels.

"Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah (which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah" **(Quran 3:67).**

Say: "(Allah) speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans" **(Quran 3:95).**

Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah" ( **Quran 6:161).**

"Abraham was indeed a model, devoutly obedient to Allah, (and) true in Faith, and he joined not gods with Allah. He showed his gratitude for the favors of Allah, who chose him, and guided him to a Straight Way. And We gave him Good in this world, and he will be, in the Hereafter, in the ranks of the Righteous. So We have taught thee the inspired (Message), "Follow the ways of Abraham the True in Faith, and he joined not gods with Allah" **(Quran 16:120-123).**

Monotheistic religions have not been created by man, yet each one has been infiltrated. Voyage through the chapters of history on the monotheistic faiths, give us glimpses as to how religion was infiltrated and where the differences came from. The one in the power always has proclivity to rewrite the history .Therefore to reach the truth we need to walk in the right direction.

**Quran 2:164.** Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.

**Quran 2:165.** Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with Allah.): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty.

A monotheistic religion is what will free mankind from the oppression of world ruling powers, which is why it is the ultimate threat to those in authority. In our world of deception, this is how the truth will always be treated. You will marvel at the prodigious steps taken to divide these monotheistic religions for the prevalent satanic agenda. The whole world paradigm is based on a big prevaricate and we are the premeditate prey for it.

Think about The Old Testament, The New Testament and The Quran. There has always been one God and one message. In essence a true believer should view teachings of Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them) as a part of "one law" send by one true God. Why so many differences today? Why is there no unity between the monotheistic faiths? There is no unity even amongst the sects of the same monotheistic religions. Why?

# Chapter 3: Stereotyping Muslims:

Abuse is the currency of all reality shows. **(Lynne Truss: Talk to the Hand -2005)**

"Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, a show and boasting among yourselves a quest for greater riches and more children. Its similitude is that of vegetation that flourish after rain: the growth of which delights the tillers, then it withers and you see it turn yellow, soon it becomes dry and crumbles away. In the hereafter there will be either severe punishment or forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure. The life of this world is nothing but an illusion." **Al-Quran [al-Hadiid - 57:20]**

**It is a misconception that preponderance of Muslims is with Arabs.** Muslims are vast assortment of races, nationalities, and cultures from around the globe .They are united by their common **Islamic faith**. Majority of Muslims are non Arabs. One-quarter of the Muslims are in South Asia which comprises Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India. The remainders are Afghans, Albanians, Arabs, Indonesians, Iranians, Africans, Malaysians, Turks, and others. Did you ever **wonder about Muslims** and how they are misperceived by the West as communally being extremists?

The profound portrayal that Muslims are profligate companions, prone towards only violence, is created to put Muslims behind mental barricades. I know, there are many non Muslims, who will take a stand for Muslims at large. Nevertheless, I am talking to those who point fingers at us without knowing us. Who should be guilty of their acts, me or you? Many have been programmed to hate Muslims by typecasting them in media. Many built their opinions upon the off-putting images that are found in the media. The resolution of media groups which are ruled by powerful few, always end up making resonant sounds against Muslims.

In Oklahoma City bombing, Timothy McVeigh, a Baptist was involved. But there was not a single headline in the newspaper referring to the 'Baptist Bomber'. The press rarely reports stories about "Christian" extremists, "Catholic" terrorists or "Protestant" fanatics, Hindus fundamentalists, but frequently they use the terms "Islamic or Muslim" as adjectives for terrorists'. If McVeigh had been a Muslim, everyone would have known it and it would have been considered a suicide act. Since September 11th media has masked the names 'Muslim' and 'terrorist' as being one-in-the-same. ( In Aaron Winter (2010), 'American Terror: From Oklahoma City to 9/11and After', Discourses and Practices of Terrorism: Interrogating Terror , eds. B. Brecher, M. Devenney and A. Winter, Abingdon: Routledge, Critical Terrorism Studies, )

The sole purpose of indoctrinating you through mind control by using media is to influence your way of thinking and trapping your opinions. Many things in the world would be unpopular if not for media influence. The concept of sadistic Muslim is fed repeatedly. Any sage person would clearly note the reoccurring pattern but a salacious person refuse to acknowledge the great saboteur.

**David Icke** mentions this propaganda repeatedly in his research works and articles that the greatest form of control is where you think you are free but you are in reality being fundamentally manipulated and dictated to. One form of dictatorship is being in a prison cell and you can see the bars and touch it. The other one is sitting in a prison cell but you can't see the bars and you think you are free. Human race is suffering from **mass hypnosis**. We are being hypnotized by news readers, politicians, teachers, lecturers. We are in a country and in a world that is run by unbelievably sick people. The chasm between what is told being going on and what is going on is absolutely enormous. The greatest hypnotist on planet earth is an oblong box in the corner of the room (Television). It is constantly telling us what to believe is real.

In the 1958 preface for _A Brave New World_ , Aldous Huxley points as to how, there is an "impersonal force", ruling elite, which manipulates the population using various methods.

_" Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses."_ **\- Aldous Huxley, Preface to** ****_A Brave New World_

David Icke and many others have given us sacrosanct insight that elite have power over lives and they exploit political opinions for their own betterment to keep us in perpetual slavery of mind and soul. Through saccharine disinformation which is transferred to us by ruthlessly hidden ruse, where we never think about rummaging their words, these bigwigs gain control in countries and states. Once in control of the rulers and politicians of a country, laws and political structures are altered in accordance with the elite's satanic agenda. The greatest threat to their plan, posing more menacing than any army or law is the threat of a **"free thinking mind".**

Anup Shah in the article "Media Manipulation" writes

Some techniques used by governments and parties/people with hidden agendas include:

**Paying journalists** to promote certain issues without the journalist acknowledging this, or without the media mentioning the sources;

Governments and individuals contracting **PR firms** to sell a war, or other important issues

**Disinformation or partial information** reported as news or fact without attributing sources that might be questionable

PR firms feeding stories to the press without revealing the nature of the information with the intention of creating a public opinion (for example, to support a war, as the previous link highlights where even human rights groups fell for some of the disinformation, thus creating an even more effective propaganda campaign)

In order **to eliminate free mind** and **to achieve their objective** the elites have set about their boldest plan ever devised, the complete control of every aspect of human life. Your life! And the weapons they are using against you are in your very homes, entertaining you and your children (Television). They are gradually indoctrinating you, without you being aware.

"Nowadays, numerous media campaigns are going on against Islam and Muslims. Most Western media with considerable financial resources and multiple channels try to show a rough picture of Islam to their public. At the same time Muslim groups through various media outlets are trying to convey their messages, but in comparison to the global dominance of the western media, their efforts are somehow in vain. .( Mirza MEŠIĆ, Imam, Professor of Islamic History at the Zagreb)

Mirza MEŠIĆ also elucidates, "Most western media are using the September 11th event to capitalize its political gain. These media depict Islam as "fundamentalism", "extremism" and "radicalism". Of course, in the modern world where the role of media is central, the image of reality can be manipulated to misrepresent the actual facts. The media have tried to represent Muslims as "terrorists" posing a threat to the western security. By doing so, they try to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Jack Shaheen is an acclaimed international author. He rhapsodized through his books and documentaries how Hollywood creates fantasies for people. It puts people into sleep. It's a falsehood. Films are magic. You go and you watch these things and people get caught up in them. People cry and laugh during films. This is an important element in the control mechanism. Certain type of catharsis is enjoyed as a purging experience. Aristotle talks about it too that a necessary element of tragedy is created, which gives cathartic experience. Even in News channels, you have the same thing. Everybody watches the news. They watch these tragedies of others, feeling safe and complacent in their own experience of the suspended state of illusionary well-being.

They are very intricate and sophisticated methods. Through movies, dramas and news, they put us into trances and we are letting them. If you want to know more about "mind control" watch " **Wag The Dog" - Movie about media manipulation for political gains**

**Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People,** is documentary directed by Sut Jhally and produced by Media Education Foundation in 2006. It is based on Jack Shaheen's book with the same name. Jack Shaheen gave strong arguments as to how corrupt Hollywood institution is in regard of manipulating opinions of public. Here is its brief "SYNOPSIS" :

"This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today.

Shaheen shows how the persistence of these images over time has served to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific US domestic and international policies on their lives. By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human consequences of leaving these Hollywood caricatures unexamined, the film challenges viewers to recognize the urgent need for counter-narratives that do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and richness of Arab history and culture."

Another great book "Guilty: Hollywood's Verdict on Arabs After 9/11 by Jack G. Shaheen" is worth mentioning.

"Dr. Jack Shaheen does it again. The accomplished author, professor and media veteran sifts through hundreds of hours of film to give us clear cut examples, as well as keen insight, into Hollywood's obsession with bad Arabs and murderous Muslims post 9/11. Guilty: Hollywood's Verdict on Arabs After 9/11 is a fascinating social study on the relationship between racism and cinema, and ultimately, how popular entertainment has the power to propagate damaging images of misunderstood cultures or destroy them. Shaheen deftly demonstrates that Hollywood's greatest enemy is not the Muslim or Arab, but the ignorant stereotype." **\-- Lorraine Ali, Newsweek**

There is a popular riveting series on Internet by Noreagaaa & Achernahr Production , "The Arrivals." The Arrivals were also distributed on DVDs. Just be careful, some anti groups have made fake videos by the name of Arrivals. Just scrutinize that you reach the actual videos. It will help you under send the web around the world.

**Dr. Jack Shaheen** explicates "Arabs are the most malign group in the history of Hollywood. Their portrayed basically as sub-humans, "Untermensch" a term used by Nazis to vilify gypsies and Jews. These images have been with us more than a century **,"** –

"We have taken a few structured images and repeat it over and over again. No matter if one lives in Kentucky or Illinois we know basically the same thing."

"We know the mythology. The mythology namely Hollywood images of Arabs.  
The myths of Arab land. Yesterday's Arab land is today's Arab land. The Arab is a one dimensional caricature. Cartoon cut outs used by filmmakers as stock villains and comic relief. Ali Baba. The mad dog of the desert and so over and over we see Arabs in movies portrayed as buffoons. Their only purpose being to deliver cheap laughs."

"The stereotype has become so wide spread that it has become invisible to people and reason being is that we've all grown up with these images. Just look at television. We now have TV shows, telling us that addition to the Arab terrorists in Arab land; over here too American Arabs are as well terrorists. Then there is show times sleeper cell that a sinister network of Islamic groups operates on American street corners. Any homeless men could be part of this network. Even western looking Arabs are part of this anti American conspiracy. We are at war with America period.

And this paranoia runs deep. So when innocent Arabs are killed, when they are bombed, wounded, when they are tortured in places like Abu Graib is it really any surprise that we don't feel any compassion or worse make light of it?"

You don't care about them. You've been preconditioned to close your eyes on sufferings of children and women in Gaza. You think that those innocent civilians are clones of al Qaeda , Hamas and Saddam Hussein. You do not give them your sympathy or your understanding and that's very dangerous.

**Why do you think this is so?**

Well, simply because the people in charge of Hollywood and the media are Zionists.

And what does it mean to be a Zionist?

It means that you support all the efforts that push for the establishment of "Zion"

" **Marmaduke Pickthall in TOLERANCE IN ISLAM:** An Abridged Version of the 1927 Lecture says,

"The Western Christians, till the arrival of the Encyclopaedists in the eighteenth century, did not know and did not care to know, what the Muslim believed, nor did the Western Christian seek to know the views of Eastern Christians with regard to them. The Christian Church was already split in two, and in the end, it came to such a pass that the Eastern Christians, as Gibbon shows, preferred Muslim rule, which allowed them to practice their own form of religion and adhere to their peculiar dogmas, to the rule of fellow Christians who would have made them Roman Catholics or wiped them out."

"The Western Christians called the Muslims pagans, paynims, even idolaters - there are plenty of books in which they are described as worshiping an idol called Mahomet or Mahound, and in the accounts of the conquest of Granada there are even descriptions of the monstrous idols which they were alleged to worship - whereas the Muslims knew what Christianity was, and in what respects it differed from Islam. If Europe had known as much of Islam, as Muslims knew of Christendom, in those days, those mad, adventurous, occasionally chivalrous and heroic, but utterly fanatical outbreak known as the Crusades could not have taken place, for they were based on a complete misapprehension."

This is exactly what is happening now days. Spouting "half-truths" and "playing dumb" is the rule of the jungle.USA attacked eight or more Muslim countries by waging its "war on so called terrorism" or as Mr. Bush, himself used the word "Crusade" for these wars. Terrorism is not a Muslim monopoly .It is not even a specialty of Muslims. It is not even encouraged in Islam. It is prohibited. Read these verses from Quran :

5.32 On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that **if any one slew a person** \- unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - **it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people** **.** Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

**42:48** If then they run away, We have not sent thee as a guard over them. Thy duty is but to convey (the Message). And ruly, when We give man a taste of a Mercy from Ourselves, he doth exult thereat, but when some ill happens to him, on account of the deeds which his hands have sent forth, truly then is man ungrateful!

**60:8.** Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just."

The real purpose of Jihad is to remove aggression and in justice. Jihad is exactly what prophets (peace be upon them) of Bible did. It is for the same reason for which Jesus (peace be upon him) will kill Dajjal, the anti Christ .He will strip away Anti Christ's deception and tyrant rule by simply killing him. When the same rule is applied on Muhammad (peace be upon him) he becomes a terrorist? Why? Who is deceiving you? Think about it. They tell you Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the butcher of humans. My question to you is how do you get to this point of thinking? Muhammad (peace be upon him) never in his life took any personal revenges, not a single one. If he as you claim, was one to create massacre, why didn't he take revenge from his personal enemies when he conquered Makkah? He had complete power over the city. He could have easily killed them .Why didn't he do it? If as disbelievers say Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers articulated to kill all the non believers, then why was there no bloodshed when Muslims conquered Makkah ? Why did Muhammad, peace be upon him, forgave them, even those who killed his family members?

This is the same delusion which was fed to general public in past.. Marmaduke Pickthall said, Every poet in Christendom considered a Mohammedan to be an infidel, and an idolater, and his gods to be three; mentioned in order, they were: Mahomet or Mahound or Mohammad, Opolane and the third Termogond. It was said that when in Spain the Christians overpowered the Mohammadans and drove them as far as the gates of the city of Saragossa, the Mohammadans went back and broke their idols. This kind of misinformation was spread about Islam. Pickthall tell us that "Christian poet of the period says that Opolane the god of the Mohammadans, which was kept there in a den was awfully belabored and abused by the Mohammadans, who, binding it hand and foot, crucified it on a pillar, trampled it under their feet and broke it to pieces by beating it with sticks; that their second god Mahound they threw in a pit and caused to be torn to pieces by pigs and dogs, and that never were gods so ignominiously treated; but that afterwards the Mohammadans repented of their sins, and once more reinstated their gods for the accustomed worship, and that when the Emperor Charles entered the city of Saragossa he had every mosque in the city searched and had "Muhammad" and all their Gods broken with iron hammers.

That was the kind of "history" on which the populace in Western Europe used to be fed. Those were the ideas which inspired the rank and file of the crusader in their attacks on the most civilized peoples of those days. Christendom regarded the outside world as damned eternally and Islam did not. There were good and tender-hearted men in Christendom who thought it sad that any people should be damned eternally, and wished to save them by the only way they knew - conversion to the Christian faith.

**It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant; and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture**. Therefore the difference evident in that anecdote is not of manners only but of religion. Of old, tolerance had existed here and there in the world, among enlightened individuals; but those individuals had always been against the prevalent religion. Tolerance was regarded of un-religious, if not irreligious. Before the coming of Islam it had never been preached as an essential part of religion."

"History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated **."** **(De Lacy O'Leary in 'Islam at the Crossroads.)**

"The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only **."(Thomas Carlyle in 'Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History,)**

The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false. **(S. Tritton in 'Islam,' )**

"It is not true that Muslims are filled with a hatred of the West. Muslims want modernity, but not one that has been imposed on them by America, Britain or France. Muslims admire the beautiful technology of the West, but when they look at Western society, they see no light, no heart and no spirituality. They want to hold on to their own religious and moral traditions and, at the same time, to try to incorporate some of the best aspects of Western civilization"- **Karen Armstrong**

Media cozen people to create stereotypes. Different medium are used in the entertainment and advertising industries to create a perception for a particular group or cause. Due to these copious pigeonholes different credence emerges in our society which leads to conviction of a group of people.

We since our birth face repeated programming to view Chinese, Japanese, Black, Blond, Russian, Filipinas and Muslims etc in a particular light. You become sightless due to these stereotypes. For e.g. with destructive views of Muslims, you are more likely to accept War on Terrorism. You seize to see the pain of others and see only yourselves as victims. World recently created a hue and cry over Malala Yousafzai. She is a girl shot in Pakistan by Talibans. She was flown abroad and was given red carpet in west. She was hailed as hero. However world very conveniently was quite regarding 1000s other children who are handicapped, shot or blown away by USA led drones in the same province where Malala lived or many who lives in neighboring country, Afghanistan.

Americans consider themselves as white Knights of the world. They love to be considered as the "good people", yet they are strangely very quite on these stereotypes. They will see a tear of an Israeli soldier but will forget about 1000 dead bodies of Palestine children. Due to media twisted deception in our society, Kids also start following the lines step by elders. Many if not all don't correct these innocent souls. In fact, many end up patting their backs.

Dr. Jack G. Shaheen in " **Arab and Muslim Stereotyping in American Popular Culture** \- writes, "Muslims maintain they are perceived as a "negative influence" because the American press and entertainment industry are ignorant of Islam and as a result tend to focus on a violent and extreme minority, according to James Brooke, writing in the New York Times, Muslims are always shown with raised fists, chanting "Death to the Great Satan" as they burn Uncle Sam in effigy. Muslims from Beirut to New York City are shown as anti-Jewish and anti-Christian "terrorists.".

He explains, "For more than a century movies have dramatized myth making. Ever since the camera began to crank, the unkempt Arab has appeared as an uncivilized character, the cultural other, someone who appears and acts differently than the white Western protagonist, someone of a different race, class, gender or national origin. The diverse Islamic world is populated solely with bearded mullahs, shady sheikhs in their harems, bombers, backward bedouin, belly dancers, harem maidens and obsequious domestics. Image makers cover women in black from head to toe and have them follow several paces behind abusive sheikhs, their heads lowered, as mute, uneducated, unattractive, enslaved beings, solely attending men. Mindlessly adopted and casually adapted, such portraits narrow our vision and blur reality. The screen Arab Muslim lacks a humane face. Continually demonized they are carefully crafted to frighten viewers. They live in mythical kingdoms of endless desert dotted with oil wells, tents, run-down mosques, palaces, goats, and camels. These rigid portraits belittle Arab and Muslim hospitality, their rich culture, and their history. As visual lessons movies, like books, last forever. After Hollywood's features leave the movie theaters, they are delivered to video stores and shown on TV screens. From 1986 to1995, I tracked features telecast on St. Louis, Missouri, cable and network channels and found that 15 to 20 movies a week are telecast that mock or denigrate Arab Muslims. Viewers see American adolescents, intelligence agents, military personnel, even Inspector Clouseau's son, massacring obnoxious Arab Muslims in numerous films such as Navy SEALs(1990), Killing Streets (1991), The Human Shield (1992), The Son of the Pink Panther(1993), Bloodfist V: Human Target (1994) and True Lies (1994).Producers have regularly inserted unsightly Arab Muslims and prejudicial dialogue into more than 150 movies that otherwise have nothing at all to do with Arabs or the Middle East. In films such as Reds (1981), Cloak and Dagger (1984), Power (1986), Puppet Master II(1990), The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990), American Samurai (1992) and Point of No Return (1993), Muslim caricatures appear like phantoms. Beginning with Universal's The Rage of Paris (1921), in which the heroine's husband is killed in a sandstorm by an Arab, Hollywood's studios needlessly maligned Arabs. Currently, Libyans are the favorite target. In non-Middle East scenarios such as Back to the Future (1985), Broadcast News (1987),and Patriot Games (1992), Libyan "bastards" shelter Irish villains, bomb U.S. military installations in Italy, and shoot the heroic American scientist in a mall parking lot. The American President (1995), an otherwise agreeable romantic comedy about a widowed president falling for a lovely environmental lobbyist, mentions Libyans who bomb a U.S. weapons system. In this case at least writer Aaron Sorkin softens the anti-Libyan dialogue by expressing sympathy for the Arab janitor and other innocents about to be annihilated. Although the industry is now attempting to curb biases, the tyranny of counterfeit portraits persists. Some image makers' still reproduce discriminatory images of Muslims advanced by Mark Twain more than 100 years ago in his book, Innocents Abroad (1869). Twain describes the "Muhammadeans," as "sinfully ugly pagans," "infidels" and as "ravaged savage[s]" with eyes "fierce and full of hate."

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, " **The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and realistic."**

Jack G. Shaheen in **Guilty: Hollywood's Verdict on Arabs After 9/11,** talks about how the pattern remain as brutal as ever in Hollywood for Muslims post 9/11 where their image is that of a fanatic , illiterates, enemy of America , oriental , barbarian and never ending nightmare for human race . The movie "The kingdom"(2007) is one of the most Anti Muslim work of Hollywood. Jack illustrates director, Peter Berg depiction of Muslims "All Arab Muslims, notably the Saudis –men, women, even children are Islamic terrorists intending on killing Americans. He presents two types of evil Saudis: heinous grenade- launching terrorists and all others, who are silent, obstructive, uninterested in justice, and fully compromised by the terrorists. So we had better kill them before they kill us!"

In his book Guilty, Shaheen analyzes many post-9/11 anti Muslim movies. He mention Air Marshal (2003), Black Hawk Down (2002),District B13 (2004), Fatwa (2006), Four Feathers (2002), Full Disclosure(2001), Hidalgo (2004), Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2005), The Point Men (2001), Pretty Persuasion (2005), Red Mercury (2005), Secondhand Lions (2004),Spymate (2006), The Stone Merchant (2006), Team America: World Police (2004), Tears of the Sun(2003), and Two Degrees (2001) .

"...superbly readable...this book's scope and its impassioned delivery make for an insightful and rewarding read...In this meticulously researched book, Shaheen (Reel Bad Arabs) spotlights anti-Muslim and Arab stereotypes and probes the intersections of popular culture and foreign policy. The author investigates the close ties between Hollywood studios and Washington and recounts how, historically, the strategic stereotyping of populations has been used to garner popular support for governmental policies, citing the career of Leni Riefenstahl and speeches by Lenin and Goebbels to illustrate film's long history as a propaganda vehicle. In an index of more than 100 post-9/11 films, the book depicts and debunks the most prevalent stereotypes of 'reel Arabs'-'exotic camel-riding nomad,' oppressed maiden, corrupt sheikh, terrorist. Dehumanizing portrayals of Arabs have real consequences, according to Shaheen; he draws correlations between the media's depiction of Arabs and the massive support for the invasion of Iraq, the 'wanton' killing of Iraqi civilians and the escalating number of hate crimes against Arabs (or people who look like Arabs) in the United States."-Publishers Weekly

"Brimming with insight, erudition, and personal wisdom, Jack Shaheen's Guilty is a crucial, timely work. This analysis of Hollywood's portrayal of Arabs not only describes a dire situation-- placing it in global and historic context-- but offers readers important solutions with wide-ranging artistic, social, and political implications. Hard hitting and true." --Diana Abu Jaber, author of Crescent

"Stereotypes are the life-blood of Hollywood yet the bane of existence for the human beings misrepresented. It is the duty of film scholars to study the formation and impact of such stereotypes and, thereby, limit their pernicious influence. Dr. Shaheen has performed in a heuristic service with this book, giving perspective on a contemporary issue that affects our daily lives."--Professor Peter C. Rollins, Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal

Today, media demeans Muslim as once they demonized other races. Like it or lump it, but Muslims are not 100% bad eggs as many are programmed to think with watching lies as portrayed in drama shows like Homeland.

**Dr Ahmed Adam** in his book **Islam in the Media,** quotes some extracts of Professor Jack Shaheen book Arab and Muslim Stereotyping in American Popular Culture,

"Reporters and image-makers define jihad as a 'holy war.' It is not. To struggle against an unjust cause is a more accurate definition:"jihad" is the eternal struggle in human life between good and evil."

"Another misused term is 'fundamentalism" for which no Arabic word even exists. Although 'fundamentalism" is an American word referring to Protestants who take the meaning of the Bible literally, journalists often tag Muslims as 'fundamentalists', and fundamentalism is equated with fanaticism **"**

" When stereotypical images persevere, misperceptions abound, including 'pictures in our heads.' The subtlest and most pervasive of all influences are those, which create and maintain the repertory of stereotypes. We are told about the world before we see it. We imagine most things before we experience them."

"An abhorrence of Arab peoples has become firmly embedded in the American psyche. They are being collectively indicted because of the crimes, or alleged crimes, of a few"

"Film and TV function as both art & entertainment; screen images both provide information and shape values. Motion pictures and TV programs present powerful messages that serve to educate and help to convince viewers of a particular worldview. Intentionally or unintentionally, images teach people whom to fear, whom to hate, and whom to love"

"When was the last time you saw an Arab character in a movie who was anything but one of 3 B's (billionaire; bomber; belly dancer); where are the movie Arabs and Muslims who are just ordinary people? It is time for Hollywood to end this undeclared war"-

" Hollywood's Arab Muslims now surface as a swarthy menace, projected as religious fanatics. Producers selectively frame the Palestinian as a demonic creature with neither compunction nor compassion towards men, women or children. There is a dangerous and cumulative effect when these repulsive screen images remain unchallenged"

" Clearly, continuously repeated, gratuitous scenes of violence and prejudices projected in movies serve to influence people. Four days after the film Executive Decision was released, employees of a Denver radio station burst into a mosque and began heckling worshippers".

"One can only wonder how long it will be before people begin to understand that just because someone is different, does not mean he is bad and that it is unbefitting to denigrate people because of their religion, colour, ancestry or country of birth."

"Individuals, who commit acts of terror, whatever their origin, are a tiny minority whose deeds are politically motivated rather than religiously motivated"

"To avoid slandering people, reporters should ponder the meaning of the word, "integrity", which derives from the Latin meaning 'whole'. They should report events honestly, produce factual and accurate news. Journalists with integrity strive to be objective; they do not tar people with the same negative brush. To ensure important issues are fairly documented, the credibility of sources should be examined, experts consulted who are objective in their analysis and harbour no biases against others. Journalists should avoid citing people with hidden political agendas, those so-called "experts" with deep-seated prejudices"

"Reporters seldom exploit Christianity or Judaism. U.S. journalists may refer to members of the Irish Republican Army as terrorists, but not as "Catholic terrorists." Nor was religion an issue when Baruch Goldstein machine-gunned Palestinian Muslims praying in Hebron's mosque, killing 29 and injuring scores. Journalists do not refer to Goldstein as a "Jewish terrorist." Finally, when terrorists killed thousands of Muslims in Burma, the assassins were not labelled as "Buddhist terrorists", writes Braibanti. He questions the double standard, saying that when reporters in Bosnia-Herzegovina write about the 'genocide of Bosnian Muslims' they do not label the executioners as "Orthodox Christians"

"Many parents have complained that as a result of the pervasive stereotype and harassment of kids at schools, their children have become ashamed of their religion. Some have asked their parents to change their names from Omar to Johnny, or from Fatimah to Anne"

"Undeniably, ignorance, the handmaiden of bigotry, continues to be a contributing factor leading to stereotypes. Most journalists and image-makers do not have the religious, cultural or language background to understand Islam"-

"Americans have an abysmal understanding of the world, especially the Islamic world"

"The Religion Neswriters Association's survey disclosed that not a single of their 100 reporters was Muslim. The absence of Muslims in the newsrooms, influences stories about Muslims"

" **The term "Muslim terrorist" is a non sequitur because if you are truly Muslim, you could not be a terrorist. We don't talk about Christianity as a religion of violence because there is a crazy man in Waco."**

" **Seeing the Muslim world through a Muslims eyes is a refreshing alternative to the stereotypes"**

" **To begin to resist the impact of falsehood and stereotyping, it is essential to improve one's knowledge of Islam. The word Islam means peace. Advocating brotherhood and understanding, Islam is a religion of Peace".**

# Chapter 4 : Four Cards.

Disclosure Project and Carol Rosin at National Press Club Conference - Washington Dc - May 9, 2001 gave a complete picture of what is going on. This happened before 9/11. Their site of Disclosureproject.org will further give you an enormous in-depth study on the topic.

I am choosing to quote some extracts of one important testimony by Dr. Carol Rosin to Steven Greer of disclosure project in December 2000. It is widely spread on internet and many research articles exist on it. I leave it on an individual to accept or reject the reality. I am only a voice. Search it and try to separate lies from the truth.

Dr Carol Rosin was representative for Wernher Von Braun in the final years of his life. Wernher Von Braun is also called "Father of Rocket Science". He was an important asset of Nazis for their development of combat rockets during World War II . After the war he with few other colleagues, were brought to America for the same covert reasons of missile warfare technology. Von Braun disclosed few things to Dr. Rosin concerning which she testified before Congress on many occasions. He exposed four cards to her which United States of America would in future reveal to the world stage by stage.

These cards were:

1. Russians

2. Terrorists

3. Nation of concern

4. Asteroids.

Today standing at the top of the hill in year 2015, we as an onlooker are witnessing forewarnings becoming our everyday reality. Dr Rosin gave us a prologue to the play in which the established players would appear in front of us so that big powers could promulgate their illegitimate throne. The game plan had already been unleashed on us. She like few others whistleblowers stood up against all odds to presage profusion proves of the enemies malevolence intensions. These four cards as identified by Dr Rosin incensed one's sense of rightness which may have been quiescent for some time. Below are some of the extract from the interview.

CR: Dr. Carol Rosin

SG: Dr Steven Greer

"CR: When I was a Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries from 1974 through 1977, I met the late Dr Wernher Von Braun. We first met in early 1974. At that time, Von Braun was dying of cancer but he assured me that he would live a few more years to tell me about **the game that was being played-** that game being the effort to weaponize space, to control the Earth from space and space itself. Von Braun had a history of working with weapons systems. He escaped from Germany to come to this country and became a Vice President of Fairchild Industries when I had met him."

"As practically a deathbed speech **, he educated me about those concepts and who the players were in this game**."

" **He said the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare tactics that was how we identify an** enemy. The strategy that Wernher Von Braun taught me was that **first the Russians** are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told that they had " **killer satellites** ". We were told that they were coming to get us and control us-that they were "Commies."

Then terrorists would be identified, and that was soon to follow. We heard a lot about **terrorism**. Then we were going to identify **third-world country "crazies**." We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be **the third enemy against** whom we would build space-based weapons.

**The next enemy was asteroids**. Now, at this point he kind of chuckled the first time he said it. Asteroids- against asteroids we are going to build space-based weapons and the funniest one of all was **what he called aliens** , extraterrestrials. That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. "And remembers Carol, **the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a** lie."

"The last card that was being held was the extraterrestrial enemy card. The intensity with which he said that, made me realize that he knew something that he was too afraid to mention. He was too afraid to talk about it. He would not tell me the details. I am not sure that I would have absorbed them if he had told me the details or even believed him in 1974. But there was no question that that man knew and had a need to know, I found out later."

"I have debated Generals and Congressional Representatives. I have testified before the Congress and the Senate. I have met with people in over 100 countries. But I have not been able to identify who the people are who are making this space-based weapons system happen. I see the news. I see the administrative decisions being made. I know that **they are all based on lies and greed.**

But I have yet to be able to identify who the people are **.** That is after tracking this issue for 26 years. I know that there are big secrets being kept and I know that it is time the public and decision-makers pay attention to the people who are now going to be disclosing the truth."

" **This is not just in the United States but it is worldwide. This is a worldwide cooperative system. Wars are cooperative. Just as peace will be when it breaks out. But right now there are a lot of people benefiting**.

This is what our economy has been based on in this country and spreading around the world-war. People suffer as a result. It is not fair. It never has been. People have screamed: **"out of swords let us build plow shares, let's have peace and hold hands around the world,"** but it hasn't worked because too many people are benefiting. Not only are they benefiting financially, but from what my experience is there are people who actually believe that Armageddon should happen so we have to have these wars.

So, it is going from the pocketbook, to the religious right: some people actually believe that we have to have wars for these religious reasons. There are people who just love war. I have met warriors who just love to go to war. Then there are the good people, the soldiers, who just take orders. They have to feed their children and send them to college so they want to keep their jobs.

**People in laboratories have told me that they don't want to work on these technologies for war but if they don't they won't get a paycheck**. Who is going to pay them?"

"In 1977, I was at a meeting in Fairchild Industries in a conference room called the War Room. In that room were a lot of charts on the walls with enemies, identified enemies. There were other more obscure names, names like **Saddam Hussein and Ghadafi**. But we were talking **then about terrorists,** **the potential terrorists**. No one had ever talked about this before but this was the **next stage after the Russians** against whom we were going to build these space-based weapons. I stood up in this meeting and I said, **"Excuse me, why are we talking about these potential enemies against whom we are going to build space-based weapons if, in fact, we know that they are not the enemy at this time?"**

"Well, they continued the conversation about how they were going **to antagonize these enemies and that at some point, there was going to be a war in the Gulf, a Gulf War**. Now this is 1977, 1977! And they were talking about creating a war in the Gulf Region when there was 25 billion dollars in the space-based weapons program that had yet to be identified. It wasn't called the Strategic Defense Initiative, at least. Not until 1983. This weapons system, then, had obviously been going on for some time and I didn't know anything about. So I stood up in this meeting in 1977 and said, **"I would like to know why we are talking about space-based weapons against these enemies. I would like to know more about this. Would someone please tell me what this is about?"** Nobody answered. They just went on with this meeting as though I hadn't said anything.

Suddenly, I stood up in the room and said, "If nobody can tell me why you are planning a war in the Gulf when there is a certain amount of money in a budget so that you can create the next set of weapons systems that will be the beginning of the sell to the public about why we need space-based weapons, then consider this: my resignation. And you will not hear from me again!"

**And nobody said a word, because they were planning a war in the Gulf and it happened exactly as they planned it, on time."**

SG: Who was at this meeting?

CR: The room was filled with people in the revolving door game. There were people that I had seen once in a military uniform and other times in a gray suit and an industry outfit. These people play a revolving door game. They work as consultants, industry people, and/or military and intelligence people. They work in the industries and they revolve themselves through these doors and right into government positions.

I stood up in this meeting and asked if I was hearing correctly. That when there was 25 billion dollars expended in the space-based weapons budget, that there **was going to be a war in the Gulf, stimulated, created, so that they could then sell the next phase of weapons to the public and the decision-makers.** This war was going to be created so that they could dump the old weapons and create a whole new set of weapons. So I had to resign from that position. I could no longer work in that industry.

In about 1990 I was sitting in my living room looking at the money that had been spent on space-based weapons research and development programs and I realized that it had come to that number, about 25 billion dollars, and I said to my husband, "I am now going to stop everything. I am now going to stop and sit and watch CNN television and I am going to wait for the war to happen." My husband said, "Well, you have finally gone over the edge. You have flipped out."

Friends said, "You have really gone too far this time. There is not going to be a war in the Gulf, nobody is talking about a war in the Gulf."

I said, "There is going to be a war in the Gulf. I am going to sit here and wait for the war in the Gulf." And it happened right on schedule.

**As part of the war game in the Gulf, we in the public were told that the United States was successful in shooting down Russian Scud Missiles.** We were rationalizing new budgets based on that success. In fact, we found out later, after the budgets were approved for the next phase of weapons, **that it was a lie.** We did not have successful shoot-downs the way we were told. **It was all a lie,** just to get more money put in the budget to make more weapons.

I was one of the first people to go independently to Russia when I heard that they had "killer satellites."

When I went to Russia in the early 70's, I found out that they didn't have killer satellites, that it was a lie. In fact, the Russian leaders and people wanted peace. They wanted to cooperate with the United States and with the people of the world.

Another time I called Saddam Hussein when he was lighting his oil fields on fire. My husband was in the kitchen while I was making this phone call. I got a call back from his First Attach with Saddam Hussein nearby and he asked, "Are you a reporter? Are you an agent?

"Why do you want to know?"

I said, "No. I am just a citizen who helped to start the movement to prevent the weaponization of outer space and I have found that a lot of stories that I have been told about weapons systems and the enemies are not true. I wanted to find out what would satisfy Saddam Hussein so he would stop making these oil fields catch fire and stop antagonizing people." He said, "Well, nobody has ever asked him that question, what he wants."

So, when I hear that there is a possible threat of extraterrestrials-and I look at the history of thousands of years of possible ET visitations, and hear the disclosures of honest military-intelligence- industry people who have had experiences with UFO's, with crashes and landings, with live and dead bodies of extraterrestrial beings-I know it is a lie. And if I am ever told that these are enemies against whom we have to build space-based weapons systems, based on my own personal experience of having worked in the military industrial complex on weapons systems and military strategy, I am going to know it is a lie . **It is a lie."**

Dr Carol Rosin testimony only showed that there are powers working behind the scene that plan wars, finance these wars, kill economies and drag innocent life into gutters. Who are they? What are they? To decode that secret you have to go deep into understanding what are the secret societies and what is the reality of New world order. It is a common term which we keep on hearing but refuse to accept its truth. Those in powers, foment wars and the "One Order." We accept their front words without investigation. Many were unable to evince the effrontery of those in power. The elite class have copious support from all over the world and this 1 % is ruling us century after century.

Bill Hicks said " **Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."**

This is their aim to spin the way for godless society **.** This is endemic in all their messages. Mock God and those who believe in God. It's not only struggle of power between men but between Satan and God. "As is  
above, so is below" is their luciferian saying. They wanted to elide all religious feelings form masses heart.

# Chapter 5 : Mind Control

George Orwell said " **Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."** Powers on top put an end to a person who speaks and brings up evidences against them.

It may be impractical for many. However anyone who wants to investigate, they will find many interesting and shocking facts. You will find, it is a game of Pinocchio but unfortunately his nose doesn't give us any indication that he is lying because veil over veil over veil has been created to make us see what they want us to see. To hear what they want us to hear and to act in a manner they want us to act.

It is World Wide Web. Flies are already caught and spider is hidden.When you search with open mind, you will see that a group of elites have the strings in their hand and we like puppets are dancing on their tunes.

We are being used as psychosomatic experimental rats. A world, where media people who are far away from the ground make us believe whatever they want us to believe. We take everything coming our way from big banners as truth. We take it as our commandments.

Toss out what they are telling you through schools, electronic media and print media. Forget politicians who lie to you. It's time to open the blind folds.

Do we realize the deep rooted culture of pagan Pharaoh Empire in the current slogans of **"A new idea? A new world Government?"**

The Illuminati is a well organized structural group. Big money bags are part of it. Families like Rockefellers, Rothschild and many others are involved .How they control us is not on individual basis but by controlling system. Elite groups, the top heads on the International market with money, black mailing and threats rules the life of many. These families and groups are followers of Satan. They are strongly into black magic, Kabala and occult rituals. They are waiting for one common goal, the coming of their master. Their Anti Christ .They are rolling the carpet for him.

In "THE ILLUMINATI AND THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS By Myron Fagan, the writer explains the time of French revolution. The illuminati influence on French revolution and how people even with clear evidences, ignored it .Exactly like it is happening today. God made people of France aware of their plans, just as He is making us aware of their plans in this age. It all depend upon us what to do with these information .Ignore it or accept it.

Johann Adam Weishaupt was a German philosopher and some say founder of the Order of Illuminati. Weishaupt controlled the Illuminati to fuel the colonial wars, including Revolutionary War, to break the British Empire and organize the French Revolution to start in 1789.

Some of Myron Fagan book's extracted evidences are mentioned below:

"In 1784 the Bavarian government got custody of evidence which proved the survival of the Illuminati and that evidence could have saved France if French government, hadn't rebuffed it.

It was in 1784 Weishaupt issued his orders for the French Revolution. A German writer, named Zweig, put it into book form. It enclosed the complete Illuminati story and Weishaupt's strategy. A copy of this book was sent to the Illuminists in France headed by Robespierre whom Weishaupt had hand over the power to stimulate the French Revolution.

The courier, by Grace of God was struck and killed by lightening as he rode through Rawleston on his way from Frankfurt to Paris. It is rightly said that man proposes but God disposes. The police found the documents on his body and handed it to the authorities. On investigation of Weishaupt scheme, Bavarian government ordered the police to raid Weishaupt's newly ordered Lodges of the "Grand Orient" and the homes of his most influential acquaintances.

All supplementary proofs disclosed to the authorities that the documents were genuine copies of the conspiracy by which the Illuminati planned to use wars and revolutions to bring about the establishment of a one-world government; the powers of which headed by the Rothschilds, intended to usurp as soon as it was established, exactly in line with the United Nations' plot of today.

In 1785, the Bavarian government banned the Illuminati and closed the Lodges of the "Grand Orient." In 1786; they published all the details of the conspiracy. The English title of that publication is: "The Original Writings of the Order and the Sect of the Illuminati." Copies of the entire conspiracy were sent to all the heads of church and state in Europe. But the power of the Illuminati, which was actually the power of the Rothschilds, was so great that warning were ignored. All the same; the Illuminati became a sullied word and it went underground.

The heads of state and church in France ignored the forewarnings given them and thus the revolution broke out in 1789 as scheduled by Weishaupt. In order to alert other governments to their danger, in 1798, Robison published a book entitled: "Proof of a Conspiracy to destroy all Governments and Religions" but his warnings were ignored exactly as our American people have been ignoring all warnings about the United Nations and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)".

In the article, The Illuminati and their plans for a New World Order: conspiracy theory or conspiracy fact? **By David Noble,** he writes "The question of whether there is a secret group of elites working behind the scenes to bring in a single world currency and world government is one that has been well argued and debated. It is claimed that the goals of this secret group known as the Illuminati are as follows.

**Abolition of all ordered governments**

**Abolition of private property**

**Abolition of inheritance**

**Abolition of patriotism**

**Abolition of the family**

**Abolition of religion**

**A global population of 500 million**

**Creation of a** ******world government.**

For years those who have made these claims have found themselves ridiculed by the main stream media as nothing more than conspiracy theorists and fantasists. Yet none other than George Washington in 1798 acknowledged that Illuminati activity had come to the USA. He is quoted as saying _"_ _It is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am."_ __

In 1816 Thomas Jefferson gave us a warning which should have been heeded when he said _"If_ the American people _ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."_

Unfortunately this warning was not heeded and we now found ourselves living the nightmare future that he had prophesied."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe rightly said,

" **We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.**

He also said, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."

If anyone is interested, go and search how Illuminati uses mind control and who are the handlers? Read about Monarch Programming. Fritz Springmeier, in his book, The Illuminati Formula to Create a Mind Control Slave, wrote

"DR. GREEN (Dr. Joseph Mengele): The most significant programmer, perhaps one could give him the title of the father of Monarch Programming was Joseph Mengele, an ex-Nazi Concentration Camp doctor. Thousands of Monarch mind controlled slaves in the U.S. had "Dr. Green" as their chief programmer."

Ken Adachi, in his work "Mind Control the Ultimate Terror" also said "Dr. Joseph Mengele of Auschwitz notoriety was the principle developer of the trauma-based Monarch Project and the CIA's MK Ultra mind control programs. Mengele and approximately 5, 000 other high ranking Nazis were secretly moved into the United States and South America in the aftermath of World War II in an Operation designated Paperclip. The Nazis continued their work in developing mind control and rocketry technologies in secret underground military bases. The only thing we were told about was the rocketry work with former Nazi star celebrities like Warner Von Braun. The killers, torturers, and mutilators of innocent human beings were kept discretely out of sight, but busy in U.S. underground military facilities which gradually became home to thousands upon thousands of kidnapped American children snatched off the streets (about one million per year) and placed into iron bar cages stacked from floor to ceiling as part of the 'training'. These children would be used to further refine and perfect Mengele's mind control technologies. Certain selected children (at least the ones who survived the 'training') would become future mind controlled slaves who could be used for thousands of different jobs ranging anywhere from sexual slavery to assassinations. A substantial portion of these children, who were considered expendable, were intentionally slaughtered in front of (and by) the other children in order to traumatize the selected trainee into total compliance and submission."

Fritz Springmeier says the groups using mind control techniques are called "The Network" and this network form the vertebrae of the New World Order.

"Many mores have prophesied about his ultimate coming  
And Many Holy scripts have warned about what's pending

Few have been preparing for his arrival  
While few have been dreading his arrival

Satan is at war with mankind  
He has challenged the power of mankind

Satan will be thrown amidst the torment of the hell  
And he wants Adam's children along with him in the hell.

What is the covertness and significance of Solomon's temples?  
Should we check Quran's verse 102 of chapter 2, for the secret of the temple?

How did monotheist Jewish ended up with Babylon's dark magic?  
What did Knights Templar found when they were acting as fanatics?

Templars were following Kabala or Christianity?  
What was the purpose behind their secrecy?

Didn't Jews, at the time of Nebuchadnezzar, learn Babylon's magic?  
Didn't King Philip of France arrest them for practicing such things?

What was being practiced in Babylon and Pagan Egypt,  
Is being experienced today as a replica of that Egypt

What is at stake is more than one small country.  
It is a big idea to remove the boundaries of every country

New World Order will be like Pharaoh's rule  
They want to take our freedom by manipulating all the rules.

What is the most effective way to control the world?  
"Mind Control", are powerful two words.

You are systematically being manipulated to empty your top bar  
You are methodically being put behind invisible strong bars.

Their main threat is free thinking mind  
Their aim is to take away freedom of all kind.

Your Critical thinking is not making their game interesting  
Mass hypnotism through media kills that thinking.

They want working robots not revolutionary free minds  
They want the power so why would they give you slice of any kind?

They are indoctrinating you and your children  
Cartoon, sitcoms and movies all keep their plan running

They say jump, you jump.  
They say kill, you kill

They say hate, you hate  
They sat fight, you fight

They say war on terror  
You say war to curb the terror

Forget the politician, they are just couriers  
There are evil powers behind these messengers.

Freemasons methods seem to vary  
Acting is openly as well as subliminally

Zionist, luciferian and your Ashkenazi  
Have half of the world's money in their bellies.

Their survival depends on you being brainwashed and indoctrinated.  
Can a free-thinking and well structured society be ruled by tyrants?

A corrupted society which lost its way can be easily ruled.  
Spreading corruption, in a devised sinister plan is for their ultimate rule.

Remember one who stands for nothing will fall for anything.  
& so to build a society, to match their goals they will do many things

We are all victims of their evil conditioning.  
We all may be aware but still get trap in their conditioning

The final battle is on and your are the ultimate battle ground  
The final lock is unbolted therefore let positive energy be all around.

To shame the Satan you need only Allah's protection.  
To curb the evil you need internal eye's full attention."

# Chapter 6: Which Book is Book of God?

# ( Quran vs Bible.):

Why I am here? What is my purpose of this life? Is God three in one or just one? Did Jesus (peace be upon him) died for our sins? God didn't put us on this earth without answering these questions.

An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda **(The Satanic Bloodlines by: Fritz Springmeier )**

"But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth. **(The Noble Quran, 53:28)"**

"When We substitute one revelation for another,- and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages),- they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not.Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims. We know indeed that they say, "It is a man that teaches him." The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear. Those who believe not in the Signs of Allah,- Allah will not guide them, and theirs will be a grievous Penalty. It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah, that forge falsehood: it is they who lie!( **Holy Quran.** **16:101-104** **)**

Whether Quran is a book of God or is just a lie, why don't you read it to know it? Why let others dictate to you? Before you all utter with little mortification or sarcasm and end up saying few things like "

**Quran was written six hundred years after death of Christ and Muslims claim that crucifixion didn't happen. How would** they **know? They just wanted to change things to benefit their new faith."**

Or as some would love to say, " **Muslim copied it all from earlier texts and made a new set of rules accordingly. They didn't correct what was falsely written as they claim but had changed things that were truth from the earlier texts."**

We, Muslims, claim that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the prophet who came after Jesus, peace be upon him.

People interpret from Old Testament concerning what prophets had to say for Jesus (peace be upon him) before he finally arrived. Therefore, Why not look into the only Holy Book in the world (outside Christianity), which actually believes in virgin Marry and Jesus (peace be upon him) after he came?

We also believe in Jesus (peace be upon him.) second coming. Whether you believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him) as prophet or not is another story. Why not read what Quran actually says about Jesus (peace be upon him)? Why not take it as a part of your research?

In Islam, I am not a Muslim till I do believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) as the prophet born to virgin Mary.

Many would love to refuse my above advice courteously, although a little stiffly, with **"No thanks** " However if you knew some facts, your way of thinking possibly may change.

Firstly, Unlike Bible, Quran has only translations and not versions .Versions which Bible have, differ between one another. There are additions and subtractions. A version means an updating of actual text (meaning it was tempered by humans either in past or present.) Quran doesn't have versions at all. Quran only have translations without any additions and subtractions. Anyone can compare Quran of English, Urdu, French, and German etc with the original in Arabic and you will not find any discrepancy between them. Since the time of Muhammad (peace be upon him) till today there is only one Quran. No changes have ever been made either by Muslims and non Muslim. Every Muslim has the original Quran in Arabic language. There are only **translations** of Quran in different language. Conversely, the story with Bible is very different.

Below are the extracts from " **Is Trinity Doctrine Divinely Inspired by M.A. C Cave.":**

"SPECIAL MEDIA REPORTS FROM U.K.

SHOCKS SURVEY OF ANGLICAN BISHOPS

Shock Waves rolled all over England and the Christian World when a report in the DAILY NEWS of the U.K. under the caption: "Shock Survey of Anglican Bishops," reported that more than half of England's Anglican Bishops agrees that: "Christians are not obliged to believe that Jesus Christ was God". The poll conducted of 31 of England's 39 Bishops, deny Jesus DIVINITY and RESURRECTION thus rending two of the most fundamental Christian doctrines completely void.

They attribute these age-old concepts to inaccuracies in the Bible. NOT GOD – BUT "GOD'S SUPREME AGENT"

The report further states that 19 of the 31 Bishops agree that: "It was Sufficient to Regard Jesus as 'God's Supreme Agent". THUS, MORE THAN HALF OF ENGLAND'S ANGLICAN BISHOPS ABSOLVED **THEMSELVES FROM BLASHMEY AND REGARDED... JESUS AS ONLY A MESSENGER.**

BISHOPS JENKINS SLAMS CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINES

In an interview to London's Weekend Television religious programme "CREDO",- the (then)newly appointed Bishop of Durban – the Rev. Professor David Jenkins, who is the fourth high – ranking Bishop in the Church of England – directed his attack at the shaky base on which the entire structure of Christianity stands. The most fundamental Christian doctrines of Jesus' DIVINITY and RESURRECTION were slammed by the Bishop, expressing that the events in Jesus' early mission: " **Were not Strictly True but were added to the Story of Jesus by the Early Christians to Express their Faith in Him as a Messiah".**

This concept about God and Jesus is shared by all the apostles, early Christians, ancient and modern day Christian scholar, thinkers, writers and even the ordinary Christian.

Jesus says in (Matthew 4:10, The Bible):

". . . for it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve."

In (John 17:3, Bible) he says: "And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christi whom thou hast sent."

Again he says in (John 20:17, The Bible): ". . . I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Are these statements not clear? Where from Jesus came to be accepted as God? Now here comes, the Billion Dollar Question: **"Is the TRINITY DOCTRINE Divinely Inspired?"**

" **THE CHRISTIANS**

Close to a billion people around the world continue to believe and practice the doctrine of the Trinity while twofold of them, if not more, reject it outright on the ground that it is not biblical but also fallacious, baseless, senseless, repugnant and contrary to reason.

According to Bamber Gascoigne, in his book "The Christians": For the first fifty years of what we now call the Christian Era, not a word survives in any document about Christ or his followers. During the next fifty years, the Christians themselves wrote down most of the books that now make up the New Testament. But still not a word, with one small exception, from any outside writer. And then, in the second century, Roman authors began to comment:

"There is a group, hated for their abominations, called Christians by the people. Christus, from whom the name comes, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our officials, Pontius Pilate." (Tacitus)

"The Christians are a class of men given to a new and wicked superstition." (Suetonius)

"The poor wretches have convinced themselves that they are going to be immortal and live for all time, by worshipping the crucified sophist and living under his laws. Therefore, they despise the things of this world, and consider them common property. They receive these doctrines by tradition, without any definite evidence. So if any  
charlatan or trickster comes among them, he quickly acquires wealth by imposing upon these simple folk." **(Lucian)**

Nevertheless, Christianity flourished and became one big religion, but the teachings of Modern Christianity as we know it today, is different from what was taught by Jesus to his disciples. The different doctrines of Christianity, like the Trinity, were a later development. Its inception began during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great at (Nicaea) and later developed into a full blown dogma at the time of Emperor Theodosius in 381 C.E. What a strange! Since then, Christianity has multiplied into many different sects and it is difficult now to recognize the true Christian faith. But whatever it is, in the present context, none is close to the original teachings of the prophets. They based their teachings on the Bible which is subject to continuous revision.

God alone knows when Christians will be able to produce the correct (authentic) Copy of their Scripture (Bible).

One wonders, at the number of versions of the Bible in circulation today. Each one is different from the other, yet, each claims to be the original version. They have acquired a taste to declare to the world that theirs is divinely inspired. Their ready reference is in (II Timothy 3:1, The Bible), which says: **"All scripture is inspired by God**..." But what the Christians do not understand is that, **"substantially, the contents of their Bibles are not Scriptures but only stories, accounts, events and traditions.** " The problem become more complex when we come to know that some versions of the Bible contain more books than the others. The Orthodox Version (O V C ), contain 86 books; the Charismatic Version (CV),contain 76 books; the Roman Catholic Version(R C V), contain 73 books and all the Protestant versions, contain 66 books including the New World Translation of the Holy Scripture , used by the Jehovah's Witnesses and other versions like the King James [1611 – 1942] (KJ), American Standard [1901 – 1944] (AS), Revised Standard [1971] Second Edition (RS) Jerusalem Bible [1966] (JB),Good News Bible – Today's English Version [1976] (TEV), The Holy Bible (1954: as printed in 1956), Ronald A. Knox (Kx), New International Version (NIV), and countless other versions.

Moreover, how about the allegations of the distinguished Revisers of the Bible of the Revised Standard Version (RS), Revised Edition of 1952 and for the New Testament, Second Edition of 1971, by Wm. Collins Sons & Co. Ltd, published for Canadian Bible Society, which says in its **Preface: (1)** **"Yet the King James Version have grave defects..... These defects are so many and so serious as to call for revision of the English translation." (2) "The king James Version of the New Testament was based upon a Greek text that was marred by mistakes"** How about the charges of the Jehovah's Witnesses in their Awake publication of September 1951 which states: "The Bible has 50,000 error!"

Mr M. A. C Cave also mentioned:

"Trinity was unknown to the early Christians and that it was formulated in the last quarter of the 4tth century:

"At first the Christian faith was **not Trinitarian** . . . It was not so in the apostolic and sub-apostolic ages, as reflected in the (New Testament) and other early Christian writings." (Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics)

"The early Christians, however, did not at first think of applying the (Trinity) idea to their own faith. They paid their devotions to God the Father and to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and they recognized the . . . Holy Spirit; but there **was no thought** of these three being an actual Trinity, co-equal and united in One." (The Paganism in Our Christianity.)

**St. Paul in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, "** For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths."

**Titus 2:26,** "They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good deed."

In Hebrew Scripture The Encyclopedia of Religionadmits: **"** Theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity". And the New Catholic Encyclopedia also says: "The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the Old Testament."

Similarly, in his book The Triune God, Jesuit Edmund Fortman admits: "The Old Testament . . . tells us nothing explicitly or by necessary implication of a Triune God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. . . There is no evidence that any sacred writer ever suspected the existence of a (Trinity) within the Godhead. . . Even to see in (the "Old Testament") suggestions or fore shadowing or 'veiled signs' of the trinity of persons, is to go beyond the words and intent of the sacred writers."

About the Greek Scripture the Encyclopedia of Religion says: "Theologians agree that the New Testament also does not contain" an explicit doctrine of the Trinity. Jesuit Forman states: "The New Testament writers . . . give us no formal or formulated doctrine of the Trinity, no explicit teaching that in one God there are three co-equal divine persons. . . . Nowhere do we find any trinitarian doctrine of three distinct subjects of divine life and activity in the same Godhead."

The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology similarly states: "The (New Testament) does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity. 'The Bible lacks the expressed declaration that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are of equal essence.' said Protestant theologian Karl Barth' "

"Historian Arthur Weigall Notes: **"Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon, and nowhere in the New Testament does the word 'Trinity' appear.** The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord,( Paganism in Our Christianity"

Prof. John Hick says: "What the orthodoxy developed as the two natures of Jesus, divine and human coin hering in the one historical Jesus Christ remains a form of words without assignable meanings." He further says: "For to say, without explanation, that the historical Jesus of Nazareth was also God is as devoid of meaning as to say that this circle drawn with a pencil on paper is also a square. Such a locution has to be given semantic content: and in the case of the language of incarnation every content thus far suggested has had to be repudiated." He went on to suggest that the divine incarnation is a mythological idea. Again he said: "I am using the term 'myth' in the following sense. "a myth is a story which is told but which is not literally true, or an idea or image which is applied to someone or something but which does not literally apply." "That Jesus was God the Son incarnate is not literally true, since it has no literal meaning, but it is an application to Jesus of a mythical concept whose function is analogous to that of the notion of divine sonship ascribed in ancient world to a king."

The words of Victor Paul Wierwille in his book: "Jesus Christ is not God": "I am saying that Jesus Christ is not God, but the Son of God. They are not "co-eternal, without beginning or end, and co-equal." Jesus Christ was not literally with God in the beginning; neither does he have all the assets of God."

Victor Paul Wierwille's empathic comment **: "** Before closing, let me bare my soul. To say that Jesus Christ is not God does not in my mind degrade the importance and significance of Jesus Christ in any way. It simply elevates God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to His unique, exalted and unparalleled position. He alone is God."

**********

These statements should at least raise some important questions in mind of any truth seeker. Talk to some friends who have the command on the subject. Discuss several topics and you will get set answers. They will focus on this " **blind following thing"** which doesn't make sense to me. If the script is given to me from God as His Law then the script should clearly and not mysteriously suggest any dogma. Priests usually say **trinity is beyond logic."**

Lots of Biblical books are not with us. They are under lock and key at Vatican. If we are ever given access to those books of God, we may be able to understand trinity concept more easily. Researchers have compiled many important things:

In the preface to Edward Gibbon's History of Christianity,: " **If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism."**

The Encyclopedia Americana comments: **"Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching."**

"When we say that the Word, who is first born of God, was produced without sexual union, and that he, Jesus Christ, our teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven; we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those whom you esteem sons of Jupiter (Zeus **)."** [First Apology, ch. Xxi,)

"It is well known that the primitive Christian Gospel was initially transmitted by word of mouth and that this oral tradition resulted in variant reporting of word and deed. It is equally true that when the Christian record was committed to writing it continued to be the subject of verbal variation. Involuntary and intentional, at the hands of scribes and editors" Peake's Commentary on the Bible, p. 633

Yet, as a matter of fact, every book of the New Testament with the exception of the four great Epistles of St. Paul is at present more or less the subject of controversy, and interpolations are asserted even in these." Encyclopaedia Brittanica, 12th Ed. Vol. 3, p. 643

Dr. Lobegott Friedrich Konstantin Von Tischendorf, one of the most adamant conservative Christian defenders of the Trinity and one of the Church's foremost scholars of the Bible was himself driven to admit that:

"[the New Testament had] in many passages undergone such serious modification of meaning as to leave us in painful uncertainty as to what the Apostles had actually written" Secrets of Mount Sinai, James Bentley, p. 117

Brother Al-Kadhi's narrates as to how Theodore Zahan had illustrated the bitter conflicts within the established churches in Articles of the Apostolic Creed. He points out that the Roman Catholics accuse the Greek Orthodox Church of remodeling the text of the Holy Scriptures by additions and omissions with both good as well as evil intentions. The Greek Orthodox, on the other hand, accused the Roman Catholics of straying in many places very far away from the original text. In spite of their differences, they both join forces to condemn the non-conformist Christians of deviating from "the true way" and condemn them as heretics. The "heretics" in turn condemn the Catholics for having " **recoined the truth like forgers."** The author concludes " **Do not facts support these accusations**?"

In the latter part of the second century, Dionysius, Bishop of Corinth says:  
**"** As the brethren desired me to write epistles(letters), I did so, and these the apostles of the devil have filled with tares (changes), exchanging some things and adding others, for whom there is a woe reserved. It is not therefore, a matter of wonder if some have also attempted to adulterate the sacred writings of the Lord, since they have attempted the same in other works that are not to be compared with these."

Try to search for documentation of God's words in Old Testament and New Testament. To appreciate the reality of trinity, we need to understand which part are later additions in Bible and which come directly from God. Give a try to article " **Just** **who were the real authors of the Bible?"** **(** http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm **)**

**Here is a little glimpse of it:**

" **The Gospel of Matthew:**

"The unknown author, whom we shall continue to call Matthew for the sake of convenience, drew no only up the Gospel according to Mark but upon a large body of material (principally, sayings of Jesus) not found in Mk that corresponds, sometimes exactly, to material found also in the Gospel according to Luke. **(The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1008)"**

The Gospel of Mark:

**Note: This gospel is the oldest and supposedly the most original one in the New Testament!**

"Although the book is anonymous, apart from the ancient heading "According to Mark" in manuscripts, it has traditionally been assigned to John Mark, in whose mother's house (at Jerusalem) Christians assembled. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1064)"

"Although there is no direct internal evidence of authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of the early church that this Gospel was written by John Mark. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1488)"

We certainly do not know whether Mark was the author or not! The quote clearly states "no direct internal evidence of authorship". Also, the so-called unanimous testimony of the early church:- Does not prove that the author was Mark.

\- Nor does it prove that other people did not alter and modify the book, especially when the book was written at least 40-50 years after Christ. We don't even know if Mark even wrote the book.

**The Book of 1 and 2 Peter:**

"Some modern scholars on the basis of a number of features that they consider incompatible with Petrine authenticity regard the letter as the work of a later Christian writer. Such features include the cultivated Greek in which it is written, difficult to attribute to a Galilean fisherman, together with its use of the Greek Septuagint translation when citing the Old Testament; the similarity in both thought and expression to the Pauline literature; and the allusions to widespread persecution of Christians, which did not occur until at least the reign of Domitian (A.D. 81-96). In this view the letter would date from the end of the first century or even the beginning of the second, when there is evidence for persecution of Christians in Asia Minor. **(The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1348)"**

The Book of Acts:

"Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1643)"

So based on some conclusion, you're willing to die for defending the idea that the Book of Acts was the True Word of GOD Almighty?

The Gospel of Luke:

"The identification of Luke as the author is primarily based on the "we" passages in Acts (beginning in Acts 16:10), which indicate that Luke was associated with Paul in his ministry and wrote down the account of his activities. (The Amplified Bible, Page 1153)"

The only proof that they have about Luke being the sole author of this gospel is a weak speculation on "we". This is absurd at best! This speculation shows:

The gospel was likely to have been altered or written by others beside Luke.

It's place of documentation is unknown.

It's date of documentation is also unknown.

The Book of Hebrews:

"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1856)"

So because the guy was supposedly "well known (which we don't really know that for sure anyway)", then would that give us the right to consider his words as the Words of GOD Almighty?!

The Gospel of John:

"Many scholars of the past two centuries have denied that John wrote this book, partly because of their belief that the author fabricated many details such as the miracles and the discourses of Jesus. (The Holman Illustrated Study Bible, ISBN: 978-1-58640-275-4, Gospel of John, Page1540)"

"Critical Analysis makes it difficult to accept the idea that the gospel as it now stands was written by one person. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1136)"

"Within the gospel itself there are also some inconsistencies. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1136)"

The Gospel of 1 John:

"....Unlike most NT letters, 1 John does not tell us who its author is. The earliest identification of him comes from the church fathers...(From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1904)"

"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1905)"

This is really ironic! with all respect due to Christians. If the Book's author is not for sure known, then why assume that it was Saint John who wrote it?

The Book of Revelation:

"The author of the book calls himself John, who because of his Christian faith has been exiled to the rocky island of Patmos, a Roman penal colony. Although he never claims to be John the apostle, he was so identified by several of the early church.Fathers, including Justin, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Terullian, Cyprian, and Hippolytus. This identification, however, was denied by other Fathers, including Denis of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Jerusalem, Gregory Nazianzen, and John Chrysostom. Indeed, vocabulary, grammar, and style make it doubtful that the book could have been put into its present form by the same persons responsible for the fourth gospel. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1373)"

"Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1,4,9; 22:8).....In the third century, however, an African bishop named Dionysius compared the language, style and thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with that of the other writings of John and decided that **the book could not been written by the apostle of John.** He suggested that the author was a certain **John the Presbyter, whose name appears elsewhere in ancient writings.** Although many today follow Dionysius in his view of authorship, the external evidence seems overwhelmingly supportive of the traditional view. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1922

Again, we don't know who wrote the Book of Revelation. It is certainly highly doubtful that it was written by Apostle John. The Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible seem to agree with the invalidity of this book from the above quote. So are you now going to consider the other John's words as the Words and Inspirations of GOD Almighty?

Who then are the authors of the books of the Bible? Obviously the Church must know them very well since they are popularly believed to have received divine inspiration from God Himself. Right? Actually, they don't. For example, we will note that every Gospel begins with the introduction **"According to....."** such as **"The Gospel according to Saint Matthew,** " **"The Gospel according to Saint Luke,"** " **The Gospel according to Saint Mark," "The Gospel according to Saint John."** The obvious conclusion for the average man on the street is that these people are known to be the authors of the books attributed to them. This, however is not the case. Why? Because not one of the vaunted four thousand copies existent carries its author's signature. It has just been assumed that certain people were the authors. Recent discoveries, however, refute this belief. Even the internal evidence suggests that, for instance, Matthew did not write the Gospel attributed to him:

"...And as Jesus passed forth thence, HE (Jesus) saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and HE (Jesus) saith unto HIM (Matthew), follow ME (Jesus) and HE (Matthew) arose, and followed HIM (Jesus). (Matthew 9:9)"

****

Do you ever wonder why we have "according to" in the New Testament??

Those who say "I love Jesus and I will never leave him." you should be the first one to stand and demand that you want to follow his teachings not some unknown authors. Yet, you are all silent? It is an open fact that Bible was changed and many additions have been made. Try to reach Jesus (peace be upon him) real message. Love him enough to follow him.

Prophet Jeremiah warned us about this corruption. We read in Book of **Jeremiah, Chapter eight and Verse eight** 'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD, when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?"

Some will say that the verse is for distortion in Old Testament then what about **Matthew 15:8-10** 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men."

**Matthew 7:21-23 :** "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"

Do you wish to be in the team of Jesus (peace be upon him) on his second coming? If so then you need to remove all prejudices from your heart and diligently study Bible. Otherwise you will be lost.

Without the book of God, who will confirm the message of Jesus ( peace be upon him)? Bible is a lengthy book but you need to go from page to page. Read the Bible as a book. Make sure you take away all preconceived notions of it because that is what a researcher must do. **Don't allow** inflexible emotions to trail your mind. No matter how hard the truth is, you need to accept it. Separate all feelings to read the book and actually see what it tells you.

Some examples which a truth seeker must ponder over are as below. (Inspired by words in lectures as to " **How the** _Bible Led Me to Islam_ : The Story of a Former Christian Youth Minister - _Joshua Evans_ ) :

Stories of Noah (peace be upon him) in Bible are perplexing. How come a prophet is portrayed as a drunker? Noah (peace be upon him) was an alcoholic? He used to pass out due to drunkenness? That doesn't sit well. How is that possible? Noah (peace be upon him) was responsible for saving mankind. Drunker saving the world? What does it say to you as your faith? Prophets are chosen to be leaders. They are chosen to lead nations from darkness to light. Have you seen the street life? Alcoholism is a disease. Have you experienced part of it personally? Most of the alcoholic people can't even hold on to their jobs. So how come a drunker like Noah(peace be upon him) , Who used to fall on streets due to intake of alcohol was able to built an arc and save humanity? Something doesn't fit right. This is not an act of God's messenger! I refuse to believe that a great Prophet like Noah (peace be upon him) was a dunker.

Keep reading until you reach story of Lot.

Genesis 19:33-36

That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. "

Incest by a prophet? No !!!---- I refuse to believe that a prophet did that unforgivable act. Sleep with his, own daughters? This is not an act of God's messenger!

In Bible, you will come across stories of David sleeping with a married woman, Solomon turning away from God and worshipping other gods e.t.c. All these interpretations of prophets, one after the other actually starts playing with emotions. You try to read it as a book but you can't separate it from what a person always learn in churches and Sunday schools. Doesn't it bother you? Go to priest he will tell you "Don't let a little bit of knowledge, wreck your faith because faith leads to salvation not knowledge. Faith will take you to paradise not knowledge. We are justified by faith not by Books."

They tell you again and again **"Don't let a little a bit of knowledge, wreck your faith. Devil will give you 99 % of the truth to make you believe 1 % of falsehood.** "

As a Christians, some say "We really don't even follow the Old testament. We follow the New Testament, so let just get through this and reach New Testament. Start reading stories of Jesus in New Testament. When it came to creed, it is same as in Old Testament. In Old Testament it is over and over again the same thing **that God is One and that God is extremely jealous**. Every time people of Israel used to turn away from God, He would punish them severely. He would restrict their governing laws, their dietary laws, their lands would be snatched, and they would be taken as prisoners. God reminded them again and again that He is the God not them. He makes Laws not them.Just like in a prison, you are given clothes, you are put behind bars and are given restrict diet to tell you that you are being punished for your crimes. In the same way, God of Israel restricted them to remind that they are being punished for their actions. And this was constantly because they disobey God and worship something else. In the New Testament, Jesus said exactly the same thing, to follow the commandments. Follow the Law of God to enter God's kingdom and if you have done that then sell everything and follow him.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. **(Matthew 5:17-20)**

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?". He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." **Luke 10:25-28**

You read all that and your heart feels marvelous .You pass through cannon Gospels and reach writings of Paul. When you read through it, truth seeker's happiness will deteriorate. Your feelings will not be long lasting because when you read Paul, the entire message changes. Jesus (peace be upon him) taught that salvation was through obeying the Law of God. This was in the entire Bible, from beginning to end, that salvation lies in obeying the laws of God. You obey God, therefore He will forgive you and you will enter the paradise. This is what Jesus taught too but Paul said: You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? Galatians 3:1-3

Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, (Hebrews 6:1, 21st Century King James Version)

"...not a single human being will be made righteous in God's sight through observance of the Law. For through the Law comes the knowledge of sin". (Romans 3:20)

"Christ has ransomed us from the curse of the Law in as much as He became a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13)

"the Scripture has all men imprisoned under sin" (Galatians 3:22)

"Although I am free from everyone, I have enslaved myself to all of them in order to win a larger number. To the Jews I behave as a Jew; to those under the Law as one who is under the Law, although I am not under the Law, to gain those who are under the Law. To those who are without law I am without law, although not lawless toward God but committed to Christ's Law, in order to win those who are without law" **(1 Corinthians 9:19)**

How can a man be pious without honest work? Didn't Jesus say " **The law teachers and the Pharisees sit in Moses chair? This means you're supposed to observe and follow everything they tell you. But don't do what they do;** **after all, they're all talk and no action.** (Matthew 23:2)"

Today Christianity has become all talks and no actions, basically because of Pauline Churches. They focus on Romans 10:9, because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Start your investigation where Paul and Jesus (peace be upon him) differ.

"We have already noted that every teaching of Jesus was already in the literature of the day..... Paul, the founder of Christianity, the writer of half the NT, almost never quotes Jesus in his letters and writings." (Professor Smith in his "The World Religions", p 330)

"Paul abolished the Law, which was followed and preached by Jesus (p.b.u.h), and corrupted the whole religion, giving it a new form. The main ambition behind all this was, in his own words, " **to win a larger number"** of followers; the followers of a new religion "the Pauline Christianity". (Follow Jesus or Follow Paul p. 69)

"The message of Christianity is that the Law is a curse. If the Law is a curse, then all that it ordains or prohibits must also be a curse." (A.D. Ajijola states in his book "The Myth of the Cross")

"If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they need look no further than Paul"-- The English philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832)

"What are the similarities in message and what are the differences? Diversity came from where? Was Paul teaching a new doctrine or was he following Jesus ( peace be upon him)? Was Paul true in his teachings and Later Pauline churches distorted it? Make your own researches and you will find many interesting things if you are earnest.

#  Chapter 7: Did Paul Blaspheme?

**Source:**  http://www.guidetosalvation.com

**Source:** http://www.answering-christianity.com

This chapter is inspired by the research of the above two sources.

The message in the Bible is sententious that the covenant between God and Abraham was "everlasting." However we see that teachings of Paul are contrary to it

**Genesis 17:10 -13:** This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Paul has widened the "schism" by relinquishing many teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him ) and other Biblical Prophets( peace be upon them). The enormous black spot comes on credibility of Paul when he attributes weakness to God. He committed ultimate blasphemy in 1 Cor 1:25, a verse from Paul:

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men" **(1Cor.1:25)**

Foolishness is not an adjective used with "Perfect God." In fact it should be remembered what Bible say regarding calling anybody a fool:

"But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." \- **Matthew 5:22**

How come a man, Paul, who is said to have God's spirit with him, uttered such words for Almighty?? Can God be a fool? We Muslims reject Paul's teaching (books) and recognize the original teaching of Torah, Psalms and Gospels.

**The Books of Paul:**

**Paul real name was Saul. He was never sure who inspired him. (Acts 9:2-4.) He never met Jesus (peace be upon him) and was not among his 12 disciples. After death of Jesus (peace be upon him) a man stood up and said Jesus (p.b.u.h) came to him and ordered him to be his disciple? If that had been the case, Paul should be teaching what Jesus (peace be upon him) taught but Paul changed many of his teachings.**

**In the article The Anti-Christ Paul by Abdullah Smith, he writes "Paul, the founder of Christianity, rejected the message of Jesus (and everything he stood for) while replacing the Gospel with his own distorted version. The message of Jesus was pure and simple, the complete submission and surrender to God alone. He preached the religion of Islam; he fasted and prayed in the manner taught by the Prophets before him. He abstained from eating pork and drinking wine. Paul rejected these laws and concocted his own religion, claiming "salvation comes through faith only" (sound familiar?) and not physical action or bodily prayer. The Bible teaches the exact opposite, the stories of the Prophets teach us that salvation is attained through fasting, physical prayer, and righteous deeds, not just having faith, which is merely an article required in any organized religion.**

**Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.** **(James 2:17)**

**Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?** **(James 2:21-22)**

**Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only (2:24)**

**For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (2:26)**

**The Holy Quran harmonizes these verses by teaching that salvation is attained through faith and works: Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.** **(2:227)**

**It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.** **(2:177)**

**Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practice regular charity, believe in my messengers, honor and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."** **(5:12)**

**Abdullah Smith also mentioned:**

Christians are indeed hypocrites, they ignore the practical teachings of the Bible and discard the Jewish Law followed by Jesus (Matthew 5:17-20, 23:23) they practice what is called 'selective morality' and ignore the teachings of the Gospels, paying close attention to the epistles of Paul (only). **Christians do not exist:**

Jesus commanded fasting (Matthew 4:2, 6:16) yet Christians do not fast.

Jesus abstained from eating pork and drinking wine (Leviticus 10:9, 11:7, Matthew 5:17-20) yet Christians practice the exact opposite, they eat pork and drink wine! Paul said it was okay to drink wine 1Timothy 5:23. (There is a lesson to learn from the story of Noah!)

Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day of infancy (Luke 1:59) yet Christians are not circumcised like Jesus. This equates to death penalty (Genesis 17:14)

Jesus established the death penalty for those who abandon his teachings (John 15:6) yet Christians have abandoned his teaching but they are not being punished accordingly! The governments of Christian countries reject the Jewish Law because of the innovations of Paul. (He made everything permissible for them!)

Jesus observed the Sabbath, (which is Saturday) yet Christians have broken this law by working on the Sabbath. This equates to death penalty (Exodus 31:14)

The laws which exist in the "Christian" countries of the West, the laws governing birth and death, the formation and dissolution of marriage, the rights over property within and outside marriage or in the event of divorce or death, adoption and guardianship, commerce, and industry, are not to be found in the gospels. They are not the laws which have been revealed to man by God. They are the fruits of deductive knowledge. They are either inherited from the Roman system of law, or are based on the common practice of people over a long period of time, or are statutes erected and amended in accordance with the democratic method, which is the bequest of the ancient Greeks. No one in today's courts of law can refer to the gospels as a binding authority in his dealings with another man, and have it accepted. **(Muhammad Ataur-Raheem, Jesus Prophet of Islam, 1992 edition, p. 205)"**

"We have already noted that every teaching of Jesus was already in the literature of the day..... Paul, the founder of Christianity, the writer of half the NT, almost never quotes Jesus in his letters and writings." **(** **Professor Smith in his "The World Religions", p 330)**

Saul/Paul had set out initially to subvert Jesus' teachings. Later he used his new doctrines to undermine the power of the Jewish church as well as the defied Roman Emperor. Paul sought to torpedo Judaism in its calcified form, its narrow interpretation of the Judaic law. Jesus had initiated this process but did not subvert the law. Paul had no such inhibitions; he rejected wholesale many fundamental laws of God. In the attempt Paul succeeded in undermining both the Jewish and Nazarene teachings. He steered Christ's teachings away from monotheism and from the Jews, (the lost sheep of Israel) and directed these teachings in a corrupted form to Non-Jews...As Jesus had not succeeded during his mission in converting the majority of his Jewish brothers and sister to his divinely inspired interpretations of Judaism, Paul ensured that after Jesus had departed, that Jews would not be tempted to follow Jesus' Teachings. To this end, Paul so adulterated Jesus' life, purpose, mission and claims to make the new dogma (Paul's version of Jesus' teachings) repugnant to the Jews. **(Farouk Hosein** **, Fundamentalism Revisited,** **Eniath's Printing Company Trinidad, p. 49)**

**Paul the Corrupter by Abdullah Smith , "** **The book of Acts demonstrates that Paul was preaching very similar doctrines to the pagans. They professed to believe in the blood sacrifice (crucifixion) and resurrection of their own god-men before Paul had arrived, as the following passage indicates:**

**Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there. Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, "What does this babbler want to say?"**

**Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. (Acts 17:17-18)**

**The Gentiles already knew the stories of dying and rising gods before Paul came to them, he was only recycling the legends of the Mystery Religions.**

**" The divine teacher is called, is tested by the "adversary", gathers disciples, heals the sick, preaches the Good News about God's kingdom, finally runs afoul of his bitter enemies, suffers, dies, and is resurrected after three days. This is the total pattern of the sun god in all the ancient dramas".** **(Tom Harper, The Pagan Christ, p. 145)**

**"The worship of suffering gods was to be found on all sides, and the belief in the torture of the victims in the rites of human sacrifice for the redemption from sin was very general. The gods Osiris, Attis, Adonis, Dionysos, Herakles, Prometheus, and others, had all suffered for mankind; and thus the Servant of Yahweh was also conceived as having to be wounded for' men's transgressions. But as I say, this conception had passed into the background in the days of Jesus** **"(The Paganism in Our Christiantiy, Arthur Weigall, 1928, p106)**

**From :** **http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm :**

**The Book of Romans**

Keep in mind that Paul himself admitted that he wasn't sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspiring him or not.

Paul's Delusions: In 1 Corinthians 7:40, he claimed that he "thinks" that he has the Holy Spirit in him!

Having said that, let us now see what the Bible theologians say about Paul's books:  
"Although the introduction, which is rather lengthy, and the conclusion, which has a longer list of greetings than usual, identify this book as an epistle, the content as a whole does not have the occasional character or personal touch usually found in the Pauline letters. (The Amplified Bible, Page 1297)"

So it's quite possible and probable that the letter (book) of Romans was any of the following:

Written by Paul and other people.

Written by people other than Paul.

Written by Paul and altered by others.

Written by unknown people altogether.

"The writer of this letter was the apostle Paul .No voice from the early church was ever raised against his authorship. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1705)"

Okay, but notice how in this Book, we see the actual author ( Paul ) himself, and in the statement above, we see nothing but conclusions. If GOD was the actual inspirer of all of these Books, then why must we take every single word that Paul spoke especially **during his conversations with others as Words of GOD** Almighty?!Is Paul GOD Himself? No Christian believes in that. Paul fought with Saint Peter and accused him of being "clearly in the wrong" (Galatians: 2:11-12), and had a huge argument with Saint Barnabas (Acts 15:36-39).

Did GOD favor Paul over Barnabas and Peter? Did God inspire him the words while he was fighting with them? I don't think so!

Paul himself admitted before that he wasn't always inspired by GOD Almighty himself (1 Corinthians 7:25-30). Since Paul never performed any miracles to help us believe his claim of Prophethood, then his claim about him being God's apostle is just as good as me for instance claiming to be God's apostle.

Benny Hyne, one of today's famous Christian missionaries who have millions of fans worldwide, claims and shows on TV how he could cure the paralyzed and makes him walk again. He claims that Jesus is inside him when he performs his so-called miracles. Why can't it be a bunch of liars that he paid and brought on TV, pretend to act paralyzed and pretend to act healed?

Paul could just as well be another Benny Hyne, except that Benny Hyne performed miracles (that are fake of course), but Paul never performed anything.

I hope you see how confusing the Bible really is. It's books are believed today from conclusions only as you've seen above, and it is only to be believed **by** blind faith. Blind faith is not the way to believe in GOD Almighty's Words, because GOD is not the author of confusion.

**The Books of 1 and 2 Corinthians:**

"Scholars have noticed a lack of continuity in this document. For example the long section of 2, 14-7, 4 seems abruptly spliced into the narrative of a crisis and its resolution. Identical or similar topics, moreover, seem to be treated several times during the letter. Many judge, therefore, that this letter as it stands incorporates several briefer letters sent to Corinth over a certain span of time. If this is so, then Paul himself or, more likely, some other editor clearly took care to gather those letters together and impose some literary unity upon the collection, thus producing the document that has come down to us as the Second Letter to the Corinthians. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1252)"

Again, we have no idea how many people wrote and edited the letters, and we don't know where and when this happened.

And again, Paul admitted that he wasn't even sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspiring him or not: **Paul's Delusions: In 1 Corinthians 7:40, he claimed that he "thinks" that he has the Holy Spirit in him!**

The Book of Philippians:

"The early church was unanimous in its testimony that Philippians was written by the apostle Paul the letter reveals the stamp of genuineness. The many personal references of the author fit what we know of Paul from other NT books. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1803)"

Again, it was **assumed** that this book was written by Paul himself. No one knows for sure whether it was Paul or somebody else. The New Testament wasn't even documented until 150-300 years after the disappearance of Jesus peace be upon him. If we're going to assume that Books that look appealing to us as the True Word of GOD Almighty, then we are committing a great crime against GOD Almighty and His Holy Words. Nowhere in this Book we see a statement saying that it was inspired by GOD Almighty Himself.

And again, Paul admitted that he wasn't even sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspiring him or not: **Paul's Delusions: In 1 Corinthians 7:40, he claimed that he "thinks" that he has the Holy Spirit in him!**

The Book of Colossians:

"That Colossians is a genuine letter Paul is not usually disputed. In the early church, all who speak on the subject of authorship ascribe it to Paul. In the 19th century, however, some thought that the heresy refuted in ch. 2 was second-century Gnosticism. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1813)"

Again, it was **assumed** that Paul was the one who wrote the Book. But again, who's to say that it was inspired by GOD Almighty Himself?

And again, Paul admitted that he wasn't even sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspiring him or not: **Paul's Delusions: In 1 Corinthians 7:40, he claimed that he "thinks" that he has the Holy Spirit in him!**

The Books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians:

"Paul's authorship of 2 Thessalonians has been questioned more often than that of 1 Thessalonians, in spite of the fact that it has more support from early Christian writers. (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1829)"

So basically we're not certain whether or not Paul wrote the Book. And even if Paul was the one who wrote it, we still don't know whether it was the True Words of GOD Almighty or not, because nowhere in the Book we see any indication that it was inspired by the Almighty GOD.

Let us look the following Verse: **"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, (From the NIV Bible, 2 Timothy 3:16)"**

**In the above verse, we clearly see that the entire Bible is supposed to be inspired from GOD Almighty.**

There are few problems however with this claim:

**1-** There is no actual "Bible". The word "Bible" doesn't even exist in what we call today "The Bible". So when such claim is made, it is not right for us to use it to prove the entire "collection" was inspired from GOD Almighty.

**2-** Paul obviously didn't know much about the Old Testament for claiming that it is all "God-breathed". GOD Almighty said: "How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)" See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Prophet Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death by their own hands.

**3-** Paul who spoke 2 Timothy 3:16 had ridiculously contradicted himself, because he himself admitted before that he wasn't always inspired by GOD Almighty himself (1 Corinthians 7:25-35). Verses 1 Corinthians 7:25-35 are today permanently preserved in the "Bible". If GOD Almighty indeed spoke 2 Timothy 3:16 through Paul, then He wouldn't have contradicted Himself in the Verse about the entire Bible being His Words, while permanently preserving Paul's personal words and suggestions in the "Bible". This should be one solid proof that Paul was not truthful. Anyway, many famous Historians and Theologians before came to conclusions that Paul was not truthful.

**4-** Most of the New Testament is nothing but conversations between people, which are clearly not inspirations from GOD Almighty. For instance, Paul fought with Saint Peter and accused him of being "clearly in the wrong" (Galatians: 2:11-12), and had a huge argument with Saint Barnabas (Acts 15:36-39). Now one must ask, did GOD for instance favor Paul over Barnabas and Peter and inspired him the words while he was fighting with them? If so, since Peter was "clearly in the wrong", then how about his Gospels? Wasn't every word that Peter spoke supposedly inpired by GOD? How then could he be "clearly in the wrong"? One of them must be in the wrong, which in either case, would also produce another contradiction to 2 Timothy 3:16. Is Paul GOD Himself? No Christian believes in that. So why then take everything he says including 2 Timothy 3:16 as the Words of GOD Almighty when they contain clear contradictions in them?

**5-** The history of the Gospels in the New Testament is very unreliable according to the commentary of the NIV Bible.

Do u know what Christians authority themselves say about Peter 1 and even Peter 2 ?

The Book of 1 and 2 Peter:

"Some modern scholars on the basis of a number of features that they consider incompatible with Petrine authenticity, regard the letter as the work of a later Christian writer. Such features include the cultivated Greek in which it is written, difficult to attribute to a Galilean fisherman, together with its use of the Greek Septuagint translation when citing the Old Testament; the similarity in both thought and expression to the Pauline literature; and the allusions to widespread persecution of Christians, which did not occur until at least the reign of Domitian (A.D. 81-96). In this view the letter would date from the end of the first century or even the beginning of the second, when there is evidence for persecution of Christians in Asia Minor. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1348)"

"Nevertheless, acceptance of 2 Peter into the New Testament canon met with great resistance in the early church. The oldest certain reference to it comes from Origen in the early third century. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1354)"

"Among modern scholars there is wide agreement that 2 Peter is a pseudonymous work, i.e., one written by a later author who attributed it to Peter. (The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1354)"

So we don't even know regarding Peter:

1. Who wrote it.

2. How many people wrote it.

3. When it was written.

4. Where it was written.

Christians say **, "But isn't your Quran asking you to follow Bible?"**

Our answer is "Read English translation from chapter 5 and verses 12-19 in Quran.:

" **5:12.** Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practice regular charity, believe in my apostles, honor and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

**5:13..** But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.

**5:14.** From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.

**5:15.** O people of the Book!( Jews and Christians) There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary). There hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book,-

**5:16.** Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight.

**5:17.** In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."

**5:18.** (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"

**5:19.** O People of the Book! Now hath come unto you, making (things) clear unto you, Our Messenger, after the break in (the series of) our apostles, lest ye should say: "There came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no warner (from evil)": But now hath come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a warner (from evil). And Allah hath power over all things."

Quran endorses that true Holy Books were given to Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them) but both Jews and Christians subsequently didn't safeguard the word of God. When word of God was lost, there was a need of the Final Book of God, which would remain unchanged till the end times. Quran since time of Muhammad (peace be upon him) till today has not been changed.

# Chapter 8 : Muhammad ( P.B.U.H.) copied Quranic text from the Bible?

Christians usually argue **"What if I say Muhammad copied Quranic text from the Bible? Quran is copy of New Testament and Old Testament."**

Muslims always point out "If there is some similarity between New Testament and Old Testament, do you say that New Testament is copy of Old Testament?"

"No."

"What will be your answer then?"

"Any similarity of New Testament and Old Testament is because of the same source, God."

"You have answered your own question then because same goes with Quran. God says in Quran in Chapter ten verse thirty seven:

" **This Quran is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds."**

The Quran teaches us that all prophets throughout history, forms a single community of brotherhood, under the Lordship of God alone. Read chapter twenty three, verse fifty one of Holy Quran. If Muhammad (peace be upon him) was so fluent in forming verses, as we read in Quran then he should have been equally fluent in the **collection of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) sayings called Hadith .** However we find that no matter how beautiful and full of wisdom are the sayings of Muhammad, peace be upon him, still they don't match the literacy of our Holy Quran, which is direct word of God.

**In** **Ahmed** _Deedat_ ******book,** **Is** _The Bible God's Word_ **? He writes,**

" **Three Grades of Evidence :**

We Muslims have no hesitation in acknowledging that in the Bible, there are three different kinds of witnessing recognizable without any need of specialized training. These are:

**1. You will be able to recognize in the Bible what may be described as** **"The Word of God."**

**2. You will also be able to discern what can be described as the** **"Words of a Prophet of God."**

**3. And you will most readily observe that the bulk of the Bible is the records of eye witnessess or ear witnesses, or people writing from hearsay. As such they are the** **"Words of a Historian"**

You do not have to hunt for examples of these different types of evidences in the Bible. The following quotations will make the position crystal clear:

The FIRST Type:

(a) **I** will raise them up a prophet . . . and **I** will put my words in ... and he shall speak unto them all that **I** shall command him." (Deuteronomy 18:18)

(b) **I** even, **I** am the Lord, and beside **me** there is no saviour." (Isaiah 43:11)

(c) "Look unto **me** , and be ye saved, all the end of the earth: for **I** am God, and there is non else." (Isaiah 45:22)

Note the first person pronoun singular (highlighted ) in the above references, and without any difficulty you will agree that the statements seem to have the sound of being GOD'S WORD.

The SECOND Type:

(a) **"Jesus cried** with a loud voice, saying **Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani?** . . ." (Matthew 27:46)

(b) "And **Jesus answered him** , The first of all the commandments is, **Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:"** (Mark 12:29)

(c) "And **Jesus said** unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God." (Mark 10:18).

Even a child will be able to affirm that: Jesus **"cried"** Jesus **"answered"** and Jesus **"said"** are the words of the one to whom they are attributed, i.e. the WORDS OF A PROPHET OF GOD.

The THIRD Type:

"And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he, (JESUS) came, if haply he (JESUS) might find anything thereon: and when he (JESUS) came **to it,** (Jesus) found nothing but leaves . . ." (Mark 11:13)

The bulk of the Bible is a witnessing of this **THIRD** kind. These are the words of a **third** person. Note the underlined pronouns. They are not the Words of God or of His prophet, but the WORDS OF A HISTORIAN.

**For the** Muslim **it is quite easy to distinguish the above types of evidence, because he also has them in his own faith. But of the followers of the different religions, he is the most fortunate in this that his various records are contained in** separate Books **!**

ONE: The first kind — THE WORD OF GOD — is found in a Book called **The Holy Qur'an.**

TWO: The second kind — THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET OF GOD, (Muhummed, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are recorded in the Books of Tradition called **The Hadith.**

THREE: Evidence of the third kind abounds in different volume of Islamic history, written by some of high integrity and learning, and others of lesser trustworthiness, but the Muslim advisedly keeps his Books in separate volumes!

The Muslim keeps the above three types of evidence jealously apart, in their proper gradations of authority. He never equates them. On the other hand, the "Holy Bible" contains a motley type of literature, which composes the embarrassing kind, the sordid, and the obscene — all under the same cover — A Christian is forced to concede equal spiritual import and authority to all, and is thus unfortunate in this regard."

*******

Have you read your own Bible thoroughly?

If "Yes" is your answer, then don't you find discrepancies in it?

If you want to point out and say "Well which Book will not have discrepancies?"

Our answer will be , "Book of God, brother. Book of God."

This is the ultimate test which Bible fails, both Old Testament parts and New Testament part. Quran argues that if the scripture was man-made, contradictions and omissions would crop up in the Book, rather than coherence, consistency, and completeness. In chapter four, verse eighty two and chapter thirteen nine, verse twenty three of Quran, Allah gave us a rod to test whether the Book is from God or not. The contradictions have been case of Bible not Quran .Quran corrects Old Testament and New Testament.

**Holy Quran 4:82.** ******Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.**

*****

**Holy Quran 39:23.** **Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah('s) praises. Such is the guidance of Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.**

Here is a hypothetical situation between Christian guy ( C) and Muslim guy(M) :

M :"Are you saying that Bible which is in your hands is the book which Jesus (peace be upon him) wrote as a scripture revealed?"

C : "No."

M : " Did Jesus( peace be upon him ) order or desire at any time in his life to write anything on his behalf ?

C :"No"

M :"The Bible which exist today, was it written during the life time of Jesus(peace be upon him)?"

C:"No"

M :"Was it written immediately after the departure of Jesus(peace be upon him)?"

C:"No."

M "Christians themselves give proves that Bible has been changed."

C:"Yes but why ignore the constructive side ? Why we are ridiculed for listening to those with positive opinions on the Bible?"

M:"I never said that. What I am trying to articulate is that if they are flattering your believes, then first check whether their claims are based on heresy or actual reality .Just as you should check whether any **anti** Biblical statement is based on reality or not. You have to open your heart and mind for any actual research. If you are faithful to God, then ask Him to guide you to accept the truth because **seeing truth is not difficult .It is accepting it that's where we fail**. There are priests and scholars who admit that Bible has been changed. Even the preface of Bible says it is an updated version (with serious errors in past?) Quran is so confident of its divinely inspired language that it challenges those who speak about its authenticity. Quran said to bring all the masters of literature together and ask them to produce even one chapter that achieves the same level of linguistic persuasiveness as the Quran. Allah mentions in Quran:

**10:37.** **This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah. on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds.**

**10:38.** **Or do they say, "He forged it"? say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth**!"

**17:88.** ******Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support."**

C stuck to his point: " **What if I say that Muhammad copied from Greek sources?"**

M :"It is not possible brother."

C:"Why not?"

M :"What was the language of Muhammad, peace be upon him?"

C:"Arabic ? "

M:" Did any Arabic Bible exist in his time? Researchers have mentioned that R. Saadias Geon translated Old Testament in 924 CE in Arabic language. This was first copy of Old Testament in Arabic language. Muhammad peace be upon him died in 632 CE . The Arabic copy appeared approx 292 years later. How did he copy from the Old Testament, when it didn't exist in his native language, during his life span? Easy answer is he didn't copy."

C:"But what about the New Testament?"

M:"That was even later. The oldest Arabic New Testament was published by Erpenius in 1616 C.E. Sidney H Griffith in "The Gospel in Arabic: An Enquiry into Its Appearance in the First Abbasid Century, wrote,

"All one can say about the possibility of a pre-Islamic, Christian version of the Gospel in Arabic is that no sure sign of its actual existence has yet emerged."

Malik Ben Nabi recounts,

Moreover, if Judeo-Christian thought had really made inroads into Jahiliyyan society and culture, the absence of an Arabic translation of the Bible could not be explained. **As for the New Testament, it is certain that no Arabic translation of it existed in the fourth century of Hijrah**. This is evident from the reference by Ghazzali, who had to resort to a Coptic manuscript to write his Rad, a respectable refutation of the divinity of Jesus according to the Gospel. In translating the work of the Arab philosopher, Rev. Fr. Chidiac searched everywhere for Gospel sources which could have served at the time of the composition of Rad. **He finally found a manuscript in the library of Leningrad written about 1060 by a certain Ibn al-Assal as the first edition of a Christian text in Arabic**. Thus, there did not exist an Arabic edition of the Gospels at the time of Ghazzali, and, a fortiori, it did not exist during the Pre-Islamic period

Ernst Würthwein informs us in his book The Text of the Old Testament that:

"With the victory of Islam the use of Arabic spread widely, and for Jews and Christians in the conquered lands it became the language of daily life. This gave rise to the need of Arabic versions of the Bible, which need was met by a number of versions mainly independent and concerned primarily for interpretation."

M : Parts, not all of the New Testament were translated into Arabic in 867 CE yet Muhammad died in the 632CE. That is 235 years after Muhammad passed away. The first time the entire New Testament was translated into Arabic was 1616. This makes it impossible for the Quran to have been copied from the Bible, owing to absence of the Arabic source of both Old Testament and New Testament. On the other hand, one more thing you are forgetting is that Bible in a book form came into being very late. It was not in the format we have it today. Beside just tell me what do you mean by copying? If I copy something form Bible then I would copy its mistakes too. There is no proof that Quran copies from Bible. Muhammad ( peace be upon him) had many enemies. Don't you think Christians and Jews would have exposed him if he had opened their books? Idol worshipers placed a close eye on Muhammad (peace be upon). They would have exposed Muhammad, peace be upon him, as an imposter if he had copied from other religion. If you read Quran you will see that Bible mistakes are not repeated in Quran."

C:"What mistakes are you talking about?"

M:" For Examples: Read Luke 3.23-38 . It said that first man on earth was roughly 6000 years ago. Today 160,000 years old fossil has already been found.

The Quran speaks about Adam as the first man on Earth but doesn't imply or explicitly mention a date. Based on a live debate between Dr. Zakir Naik (a physician & a scholar on Islam) and Dr. William Campbell (a physician & a scholar on Christianity) following are some of the Bible's Scientific Errors which are not repeated in Quran .

Dr. Zakir Naik says:

First, we deal with **Astronomy**. The Bible speaks about the creation of the universe. In the beginning, 1st Book, Book of Genesis, 1st Ch., it is mentioned - It says... 'Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, in six days and talks about an evening and a morning, referring to a 24 - hour day. Today scientists tell us, that the universe cannot be created in a 24 hour period of six days.Qur'an too speaks about six 'ayyams'. The Arabic word singular is 'yaum' plural is 'ayyam'. It can either mean a day of 24 hours, or it is a very long period, an 'yaum', an epoch. Scientists say we have no objection in agreeing that the universe - it could have been created in 6 very long periods/epoch.

Point No.2 \- Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,...'Light was created on the first day.' Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19... 'The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day'.  **How can the cause of light be created on the 4** th **day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? - It is unscientific.**

Point No.3 \- Further, the, Bible says Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses 9 to 13... 'Earth was created on the 3rd day. **How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth Without the earth created, how can you have a night and day?**

Point No..4 \- Genesis, Ch. No. 1 Verses 9 to 13 says... 'Earth was created on the third day.' Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses 14 to 19 says...'The Sun and the Moon were created on the fourth day.' Today science tells us... ' **Earth is part of the parent body... the sun.' It cannot come into existence before the sun – It is unscientific.**

Point No. 5 \- The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No. 11 to 13...'The vegetation, the herbs the shrubs, the trees \- they were created on the 3rd day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was created on the 4th day. **How can the vegetation come into existence without sunlight, and how can they survive without sunlight ?**

Point No.6 \- The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16, that...'God created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule the day, and the lesser light the Moon, to rule the night. The actual translation, if you go to the Hebrew text, it is 'lamps'...'Lamps having lights of its own.' And that you will come to know better, if you read both the Verses – Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 says...'And Almighty God placed them in the firmament, to give light to the earth **... To give light to the earth.' Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its own light - which is in contradiction with established scientific knowledge that we have.**

There are certain people who try and _recon cilia_ te ( above mention scientific errors.) and say that the six days mentioned in the Bible, it actually refers to epocs - like the Qur'an long periods - not six, 24 hour day. It is illogical - you read in the Bible, evening, morning - It clearly states 24 hours. But even if I use the concordance approach - no problem. I agree with your illogical argument - Yet they will only be able to solve the 1st scientific error of 6 days creation. The remaining four points cannot be solved. Some further say that... 'If it is a 24-hour period, why cannot the vegetables survive for one 24 hour day without sunlight?' I say 'Fine - If you say that the vegetables were created before the sun, and can survive for one 24-hour day, I have got no objection. **But you cannot say the days mentioned are 24 hours as well as epochs - You cannot have the cake and eat it,** both. I leave it to Dr. William Campbell, whether he wants to say... 'It is long period', and say that there are only 4 scientific errors - or say... 'It is a 24 hour day', and say there is only 5 scientific errors in the creation of the universe.

Point No. 7 \- Regarding **the concept of Earth** , there are various Scientists who have described... 'How will the world end.' Hypothesis - Some may be right, some may be wrong. But **either the world will perish or the world will live forever. Both cannot take place simultaneously – It is unscientific. But this is exactly what the** **Bible** **says.** It is mentioned in the Bible, in the book of Hebrews, Ch. No.1 Verses No.10 and 11, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.102, Verse No.25 and 26, that...'Almighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, and they will perish.' Exactly opposite is mentioned in the book of Ecclesiastics, Ch. No.1, Verse No.4, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.78, Verse No.69, that... 'The earth will abide forever.' I leave it to Dr. William Campbell to choose which of the two Verses are unscientific - - Both cannot take place. The world cannot abide forever as well as perish – It is unscientific.

Point No. 8 \- Regarding **'the Heavens'** , the Bible says in Job, Ch. 26, Verse 11, that...'The pillars of the Heaven will tremble.' Qur'an says in Surah Luqman, Ch. 31, Verse No.10, that...'The Heavens are without any pillars - Don`t you see? Don't you see the Heavens are without any pillars? \- Bible says heaven have got pillars.

Point No. 9 \- Not only do the Heavens have got pillars **-** **Bible** **says** in the first book of Samuel, Ch. No.2 Verses No.8, as well as the book of Job Ch. No.9, Verse No.6, and the book of Psalms Ch. No.75, Verse No.3, that... 'Even the earth have got pillars.'

Point No. 10 \- In the field of **'Diet and Nutrition'** lets analyze, what does the Bible say. The Bible says in the book of Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No.29, that... 'God has given you all the herbs bearing seeds, the trees bearing fruits - those that bear seed, as meat for you.' New International Version says... 'The seed bearing plants and the trees bearing fruits bearing seeds are food for you, all of them.' Today, even a layman knows that there are several **poisonous plants** like wild berries, stritchi, datura, plants containing alkaloid, polyander, bacaipoid \- that which if you ingest, if you eat there are high possibilities you may die. How come the Creator of the universe and the human beings, does not know, that if you have these plants, you will die. I hope Dr. William Campbell does not give these vegetarian diets to his patients.

Point No. 11 \- The Bible has a scientific test how to identify a true believer. It is mentioned in the Gospel of Mark, Ch. No.16, Verse No.17 and 18 - It says that... 'There will be signs for true believers and among the signs - In my name they shall cast out devils, they shall speak foreign tongues, new tongues, they shall take up serpents - **And if they drink deadly poison, they shall not be harmed** \- And when they place their hand over the sick, they shall be cured.' This is a scientific test \- In scientific terminology, it is known as the 'confirmatory test' for a true Christian believer. In the past 10 years of my life, I have personally interacted with thousands of Christians, including missionaries - I have not come across a single Christian, who has passed this confirmatory test of the Bible. I have not come across a single Christian who took poison - I have not come across any who took poison, and who has not died. And in scientific terminology, this is also called as the 'falsification test' That means if a false person tries and does this test... takes poison, he will die. And a false person will not dare attempt this test - If you are not a true Christian believer, you will not dare attempt this test. Because you try and attempt the falsification test, you will fail. So a person, who is not a true Christian believer, will never attempt this test. I have read the book 'The Qur'an and the Bible in the light of history and science' written by Dr. William Campbell. And I assume - that he is a true Christian believer, and at least I would like him to confirm to me about the falsification test. Please be rest assured...I will not ask Dr. William Campbell to have deadly poison - Because I don't want to jeopardize the debate. What I'll do - I will only ask him to speak in foreign tongues... In new languages. And as many of you may be aware that India is a land, which has more than 1000 languages and dialects. Only thing I request him is, to say these 3 words... 'One hundred rupees', in the 17 official languages. There are only 17 official languages in India and to make it easier for Dr. William Campbell, I have got a 'One hundred-rupee note.' And this has all the 17 languages mentioned here. Besides English and Hindi, I will help him. I give him a beginning –'Ek sav rupaiya, In Hindi. The remaining 15 languages are here - I request him to read. I know the test says... 'They will speak foreign languages on their own, without the help of reading' - but I want to make the test easier, I want to see someone passing the test - I've not seen any one. So if he cannot say it on his own, or from his memory, at least read it. I don't mind I'll accept it. And I would request the chairperson to give it to Dr. William Campbell. He has his rebuttal - 15 languages, 'Ek sav rupaiya'... 3 words only.

Point No. 12 \- In the **field of medicine** , the Bible says in the book of Leveticus, Ch. No.14, Verse No.49 to 53 - it gives a novel way for disinfecting a house from plague of **leprosy**... disinfecting a house from plague of leprosy. It says that... 'Take two birds, kill one bird, take wood, scale it - and the other living bird, dip it in water... and under running water - later on sprinkle the house 7 times with it. Sprinkle the house with blood to disinfect against plague of leprosy? You know blood is a good media of germs, bacteria, as well as toxin - I hope Dr. William Campbell does not use this method of disinfecting the OT, the operation theatre.

Point No. 13 \- It is mentioned in the book of Leveticus, Ch. No.12, Verse No.1 to 5, and we know medically, that after a mother gives birth to a child, the post-partal period, it is unhygienic. To say it is 'unclean', Religiously - I have got no objection. But Leviticus, Ch. No.12 Verse No.1 to 5, says that... 'After a **woman gives birth to a male child** , she will be unclean for 7 days, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 33 days more. If she gives birth to a female child, she will be unclean for two weeks, and the period of uncleanliness will continue for 66 days. In short, if a woman gives birth to a male child... 'a son', she is unclean for 40 days. If she gives birth to a female child... 'a daughter', she is unclean for 80 days. I would like Dr. William Campbell to explain to me scientifically, how come a woman remains unclean for double the period, if she gives birth to a female child, as compared to a male child.

Point No. 14 \- The Bible also has a very good **test for adultery** \- How to come to know a woman has committed adultery. In the book of Numbers, Ch. no.5 Verse No..11 to 31, I'll just say in brief, it says that... 'The priest should take holy water in a vessel, take dust from the floor, and put it into the vessel - And that is the bitter water 'And after cursing it, give it to the woman And if the woman has committed adultery, after she drinks it, the curse will enter her body, the stomach will swell, the thigh will rot, and she shall be cursed by the people. If the woman has not committed adultery, she will remain clean and she will bear the seed. A novel method of identifying whether a woman has committed adultery or not. You know today in the world, there are thousands of cases pending in different parts of the world, in different courts of law - only on the assumption that someone has alleged that a woman has committed adultery. I had read in the newspapers, and I came to know from the media, that the President of this great country Mr. Bill Clinton, he was involved in a sex scandal . I wonder, that why did not the American court use this 'bitter water test' for adultery? He would have gone scot-free immediately. Why did not the Christian missionaries of this great country, especially those who are in the medical field like my respected Dr. William Campbell, use this bitter water test to bail out their President, immediately.

Point No. 15 **\- 'Mathematics'** is a branch, which is closely associated with science, with which you can solve problems, etc. There are thousands of contradictions in the Bible \- hundreds deal with mathematics, and I'll first touch on few of them. It is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.1, and Nehemiah, Ch. No.7, Verse No.6, the context that... 'When the people returned from exile, from Babylon, when king Nebucheldeser of Babylon, when he released the men from Israel, they came back from captivity' - and the list of the people are given. The list is given in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.2 to 63, and Nehemiah Ch. No.7, Verse No.7 up to 65; the list is given with the names as well as number of people released. In these 60 Verses there are no less than 18 times - the name is exactly the same but the number is different **. There are no less than 18 contradictions in less than 60 Verses, of these two Chapters.** This is the list - I don't have time to run through the list –

Point No. 16 \- Further it is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2 Verse No.64 that... 'The total congregation, if you add up, it comes to 42,360.' And if you read in Nehemiah, Ch. No.7, Verse No.66, there also the total is the same 42,360. But if you add up, Ezra Ch. No. 2 - It does not come to 42,360 - it comes to 29,818. And if you add up Nehemiah, Ch. No. 7, even then it does not come to 42,360 - It comes to 31,089. The author of the Bible, presumed to be 'Almighty God', does not know simple addition. **If you give this problem, even to a person who has passed elementary school, he will be able to get the right answer. If you add up all the 60 Verses, it is so easy. Almighty God did not know adding –** **Nauzubillah** **... if we presume, that this is the word of God.**

Point No. 17 \- Further, if we read, in Ezra Ch. No. 2, Verse No. 65, it says...There were 200 singing men and women - Nehemiah Ch. No. 7, Verse No. 67...'There were 245 singing men and women.' Were they 200 - or were they 245 singing men and women? Context is the same - A mathematical contradiction.

Point No. 18 \- It is mentioned in the 2nd Kings, Ch. No 24, Verse No 8, that...'Jehoiachin was 18 years old, when he began to reign Jerusalem, and he reigned for 3 months and 10 days. 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 36, Verse No 9, says that...'Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to reign and he reigned for 3 months, 10 days. Was Jehoiachin 18 years when he began to reign, or was he 8 years old?

Point No. 19 \- Did he reign for 3 months, or did he reign for 3 months 10 days?

Point No. 20 \- Further, it is mentioned in the 1st Kings, Ch. No 7, Verse No 26, that...'In Solomon's temple, in his molten sea, he had 2000 baths. In 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 4, Verse No 5, he had 3000 baths. Did he have 2000 baths or did he have 3000 baths? – That, I leave it upon Dr. William Campbell to decide which is correct. There is a clear-cut mathematical contradiction.

Point No. 21 \- Furthermore. it is mentioned in the First Kings, Ch. No. 15, Verse No. 33, that... 'Basha, he died in the 26th year of reign of Asa.' And 2nd Chronicles Ch. No 16, Verse No 1, says that...'Basha invaded Judah in the 36th years of the reign of Asa.' How can Basha invade 10 years after his death? - It is unscientific.

Point No. 22 \- Almighty God - He said, "I put up a rainbow in the sky, as a promise to the human kind, never to submerge the world again by water".

What does the Bible say regarding 'Hydrology'?

Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.9, Verse No.13 to 17, that... 'After God, at the time of Noah submerged the world by flood, and after the flood' subsided, He said... 'I put up a rainbow in the sky as a promise to the humankind never to submerge the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite good... 'Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to submerge the world by flood again.' But today we know very well, that rainbow is due to the refraction of sunlight, with rain or mist. Surely there must have been thousands of rainbows before the time of Noah, peace be upon him. To say it was not there before Noah's time you have to assume that the law of refraction did not exist - which is unscientific.'

To make it easier for Dr. William Campbell, to answer the points I have raised, I will just mention them in brief .

The points that I mentioned:

The **first point** was that -'The creation of the Earth and the Heaven - the universe was in six, 24-hour days.

**Point No. 2** \- Light was then before the source of light.

**Point No. 3** \- Day came into existence before creation of Earth.

**Point No. 4** \- Earth came into existence before Sun.

**Point No. 5** \- Vegetation came into existence, before sunlight

**Point No. 6** \- Light of the Moon is its own light.

**Point No. 7** \- The earth - Will it perish or will it abide forever?

**Point No. 8 -** The heavens have got pillars.

**Point No. 9** \- The earth has got pillars.

**Point No. 10** \- God said... 'You can have all plants and all vegetation, including the poisonous plants?'

**Point No. 11** \- The scientific test the falsification test, of Mark, Ch. No. 16, Verse No. 17 and 18.

**Point No. 13 -** Using blood to disinfect the house, against plague of leprosy.

**Point No. 12** \- A woman remains unclean for double the period, if she gives birth to a daughter, as compared to a son.

**Point No. 14** – How do you find out the bitter water test for adultery?

**Point No. 15** \- Eighteen different contradictions in less than 60 Verses of Ezra, Ch. 2, and Nehemiah, Ch. 7. I did not count them as 18 different - I counted them only as one.

**Point No. 16** \- The total is different is both the chapters.

**Point No. 17** \- Are there 200 singing men and women, or are there 245 singing men and women?

**Point No. 18** \- Was Jehoiachin 18 years old, or was he 8 years old when he began to reign?

**Point No. 19** \- Did he reign for 3 months, or 3 months 10 days.

**Point No. 20** \- Did Solomon have 3000 baths, or 2000 baths?

**Point No. 21** \- Is that Basha, how could he invade Judah, 10 years after his death?

**Point No. 22** is - Almighty God - He said, "I put up a rainbow in the sky, as a promise."

So assuming, Muhammad (peace be upon him) even managed to obtain the Bible and somehow read parts of it, how was he able to correct its errors?

In short, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not the author of the Quran, neither could he have copied it from other sources including the Bible, since he was an illiterate and sources like the New Testament and Old Testament was not available to him, in his mother tongue. Moreover, a scientist back then, in any part of the world, could not have corrected established scientific errors involving the Greeks, Romans e.t.c. all due to the lack of scientific development till that time. If a scientist could not have done it then you have to leave aside an illiterate person. This proves that Muhammad (peace be upon him) never wrote the Quran on his own desires.

The necessity for other revelation after Bible was for the same reason as the need occurred for the New Testament. When men changed God's command in the Holy books, God send down Jesus (peace be upon him) to rectify these differences. When Christians also followed the footsteps of their counterparts Jews, Muhammad (peace be upon him) came with the final book.

For the Last book, God took the responsibility Himself to safe guard it, as there will be no further revelation. It is a reality today that neither Non Muslim nor a Muslim has ever been able to change a single word in Quran. Why?? Muslims are not super natural beings, to control the authenticity of Quran . It is God Himself who has protected His Last book.

"M" challenged "C" "What was Muhammad (peace be upon him) motive?? If his intentions were wrong, he could have preached them about their Idols. However, in front of idol worshippers, Muhammad (peace be upon him) endorsed monotheism and practices of Abraham (peace be upon him) .Why did he go to that level of trouble that he was thrown out of his own city? His family members were killed? He was tortured and brutally hurt. If he was not a Prophet of God, **Why** did a man, who lived with his wife and children suddenly undertook so much trouble and began preaching about Jesus (peace be upon him) to idol worshipper ?

"The greatest success of Mohammad's life was effected by sheer moral force."

"It is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves our wonder, the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at Mecca and Medina is preserved after the revolutions of twelve centuries by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the Koran....The Mahometans have uniformly withstood the temptation of reducing the object of their faith and devotion to a level with the senses and imagination of man. 'I believe in One God and Mahomet the Apostle of God' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honors of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion."

**(Edward Gibbon and Simon Oakley in 'History of the Saracen Empire,')**

"Head of the State as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Pope's pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a police force, without a fixed revenue. If ever a man ruled by a right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the powers without their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

"In Mohammadanism everything is different here. Instead of the shadowy and the mysterious, we have history....We know of the external history of Muhammad....while for his internal history after his mission had been proclaimed, we have a book absolutely unique in its origin, in its preservation....on the Substantial authority of which no one has ever been able to cast a serious doubt."

(Reverend Bosworth Smith in 'Muhammad and Muhammadanism,')

C inoculated his next question. He was geared up for argy bargy " **You didn't inform me that Muhammad's wife was a Christian. Muhammad had a discussion with her uncle so Muhammad could have gotten his information from them**. Warqa, was the uncle of Muhammad's wife Khadija, who was a Christian. He was with them for at least fifteen years before Muhammad announced he was a prophet. He learned all about Christianity and used it to form Islam."

"M" removed C's misunderstanding, "It is weird how wrong information is being provided to you so that you may never look into Islam. Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Khadija were related. They are both from children of Ishmael (peace be upon him). Khadija was not a Christian. Her uncle was a Christian. After first revelation reached Prophet Muhammad, (peace be upon him), Khadija took him to meet her uncle. When he heard about Muhammad's (peace be upon him) incident, he remarked that the angel that came to the Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him) was the same who visited Moses( peace be upon him). Here is the account of Prophet's ( peace be upon him) contact with Warqa bin Naufal in ,Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 3 :

'Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Warqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the Pre Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Warqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Warqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had seen. Warqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Warqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly."

This is all there is to this the contact, between the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Warqa bin Naufal. Does this prove the Prophet (peace be upon him) learn anything from him? You be the judge. If that was the case then why did Warqa tell Khadija and Muhammad (peace be upon him), that he was a true prophet and that he was THE prophet foretold in the Torah and the Gospel?

Further Muhammad (peace be upon him) was illiterate. He didn't even know how to read Hebrew and again remember in Quran, errors of Bible are not repeated. How did Warqa and Muhammad (peace be upon him) sort out these errors? (Even though specific scientific knowledge was not there?)

If Muhammad (peace be upon him) learned from the Jews and the Christians then why did he modify their teachings? He changed the Jewish teaching about Jesus (peace be upon him) being a heretic and **accepted Jesus( peace be upon him) as a true mortal prophet.** Muslims also believe in Virgin Mary. Further if your theory is correct, then he changed the **Christian teaching about Jesus(peace be upon him) being divine.** Muslims accept Jesus (peace be upon him) as a true Messiah but clearly say that the true Messiah was supposed to be a prophet of God not God himself.

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known even to his enemies, to be the trustworthy one.

He and his followers spent thirteen years in non-stop torment and harassment by the Makkan pagans. Why would he hold on to a falsehood in such a situation?

Washington Irving 'Mahomet and His Successors'

"He was sober and abstemious in his diet and a rigorous observer of fasts. He indulged in no magnificence of apparel, the ostentation of a petty mind; neither was his simplicity in dress affected but a result of real disregard for distinction from so trivial a source.

In his private dealings he was just. He treated friends and strangers, the rich and poor, the powerful and weak, with equity, and was beloved by the common people for the affability with which he received them, and listened to their complaints.

His military triumphs awakened no pride nor vain glory, as they would have done had they been effected for selfish purposes. In the time of his greatest power he maintained the same simplicity of manners and appearance as in the days of his adversity. So far from affecting a regal state, he was displeased if, on entering a room, any unusual testimonials of respect were shown to him. If he aimed at a universal dominion, it was the dominion of faith; as to the temporal rule which grew up in his hands, as he used it without ostentation, so he took no step to perpetuate it in his family."

What if we applied the same logic to Jesus (peace be upon him)? We all know that Jesus (peace be upon him) lived among the Jews. He spoke Hebrew fluently and was a recognized scholar of the Torah. Thus, applying your logic, Jesus must have learned all from the Jews and used it to form Christianity? God forbid!

The central thing is that the message of God is spelled out in the Quran. If you haven't done so already, I invite you to read the Quran. Read and decide for yourself whether it came from God or not."

"C" jumped to give "M" his next challenge, "You said that I don't hold the Bible which was written by Jesus or during his life time or immediately after him. **If I don't hold the word of Jesus directly from him then what about you guys? Can you find the first copy of the Quran ever written and provide proof that it matches up with your modern version. If so by all means, do so."**

M : "We have the oldest original Quran today still in form of Tashkent copy and Istanbul copy.

One of the miracles of Quran is that it can be memorized from word to word in the same sequence even by a six years old child. There were thousands of Hafiz, meaning _memorizers_ of the _Quran during time to Muhammad ( peace be upon him) So we have two chains of transmitting, oral and written. Both Oral and written Quran matches hundred percent till our time. Not a single word has been added or subtracted. Muhammad( peace be upon him) made his companions write the narration received by God as it is .The uniqueness of the exact word of God is so prominent in Quran so that if the angel Gabriel asked Muhammad to say " Say O Muhammad" he would include the exact word even " Say" ._ On receiving revelation, the Prophet engaged himself in the duty of conveying the message to his Companions through reciting the exact words he heard in their exact order. I repeat this is evident in his inclusion of even the words of God which were directed specifically to him, for example: 'Qul' meaning 'Say ,to the people, O Muhammad'. The Quran is perhaps the only book, religious or secular, that has been memorized completely by millions of people. Leading orientalist **Kenneth Cragg reflects that:**

"...this phenomenon of Quranic recital means that the text has traversed the centuries in an unbroken living sequence of devotion. It cannot, therefore, be handled as an antiquarian thing, nor as a historical document out of a distant past. The fact of hifdh (Quranic memorization) has made the Quran a present possession through all the lapse of Muslim time and given it a human currency in every generation, never allowing its relegation to a bare authority for reference alone."

" **A.T. Welch, a non-Muslim orientalist, writes:**

"For Muslims the Quran is much more than scripture or sacred literature in the usual Western sense. Its primary significance for the vast majority through the centuries has been in its oral form, the form in which it first appeared, as the "recitation" chanted by Muhammad to his followers over a period of about twenty years... The revelations were memorized by some of Muhammad's followers during his lifetime, and the oral tradition that was thus established has had a continuous history ever since, in some ways independent of, and superior to, the written Quran... Through the centuries the oral tradition of the entire Quran has been maintained by the professional reciters (qurraa). Until recently, the significance of the recited Quran has seldom been fully appreciated in the West."

We have the exact oral transmission which can be verified by the written one. Muhammad ( peace be upon him) during his life time made his companions write the revelations on leaf, leather and other materials. The Prophet(peace be upon him) while in Medina, had about forty eight scribes, who used to write for him. The exact order was also set by Muhammad (peace be upon him). After his death, his companions Abu Bakr and later Uthman (May Allah be pleased with them) completed the compilation for the verses which were written down during Muhammad's time ( peace be upon him). Two of those which were copied on paper by Uthman(( May Allah be pleased with him) are still in our hand today. Tashkent copy and other is the Istanbul copy. You can easily verify that not a single word has been added or subtracted.

On the other hand, remember that Bible itself says it has been distorted. Read the verses **Jeremiah8:8** ,From the RSV Bible

"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it (i.e., the bible) into a LIE.

and also:

They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. **Matthew 15:9.  
**

This is exactly what Quran also speaks about in The Noble Quran, regarding Jews,

"Know they not that Allah knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture. Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby." **Holy Quran 2:77-79.**

Below is an extract from http://islamtomorrow.com/articles/Bible_vs_Quran.asp by [YusufEstes].

**"New Testament**

There are also different versions of the Gospel or what is commonly called The New Testament in the Koine Greek language and Latin and these also have many translations to even other languages. Even amongst the English translations there are great differences. To mention two very clear differences for example; the Catholic Bible [c. 325 A.D] contains 73 books in total, while the Protestant Bible contains only 66 books, and although the newer (Protestant version) was taken from the Catholic Bible even then these books do not match completely with each other. There is no common denominator for any of the many different versions of the Bible." **[Yusuf Estes]**

Quran :Only One Version - Arabic

There are no different versions of the Quran in the Arabic language, only different translations and of course, none of these would be considered to hold the value and authenticity of the original Arabic Recitation. The Quran is divided up into 30 equal parts, called "Juz'" (parts) in the Arabic language. These are learned by Muslims from their very early beginnings as children."

Quran Describes God's Nature Exactly

The Quran is clear on who God is and who He is not. There is no room left for doubt after reading the Quran in the Arabic languge: God is One. He is the only Creator, Sustainer and Owner of the Universe. He has no partners. He has no relatives; wives, children or offspring. He is not like His creation and He does not need it for His existance, while all the time the creation is totally dependent on Him. His attributes are clearly spelled out as the epitome of each and every one. He is for instance, the All-Knowing; the All-Hearing; the All-Seeing; the All-Forgiving; the All- Loving; the All-Merciful; the Only One God. There is never a contradiction to this found anywhere in the Quran.

Quran Challenges Readers

The Quran makes the clear challenge, that if you are in doubt about it - then bring a book like it. Also, to bring ten chapters like it and then finally, to bring one single chapter like it. 1,400 years - and no one has been able to duplicate it's beauty, recitation, miracles and ease of memorization. Another challenge for the unbelievers to consider; "If this (Quran) were from other than Allah, you would find within it many contradictions." And yet, another challenge offered by Allah in the Quran is for the unbelievers to look around for evidences. Allah says He will show them His signs within themselves and on the farthest horizons.

Scientific Miracles in Quran

The scientific miracles of the Quran could not have been understood at that time, yet today we take for granted the many things included in the revelation of the Quran. Some include mentioning: The formation of embryo in the womb of the mother (surah 98); deep seas partitions; waters that do not mix; clouds and how they make rain and how lightning is caused by ice crystals; formation of the earth's mountains deep underground; orbits of planets and stars and moons - and even the mention of space travel (surah 55:33).

Final comment from Yusuf Estes:

I would like to state that after years of studying the Bible and then learning the Arabic language to read the Quran as it was originally recited to Muhammad, peace be upon him, by the angel Gabriel, I have come to an amazing conclusion. It seems to me that the Bible and the Quran are most definitely from the exact same source and they complement each other very nicely. In fact, it appears that the Bible does not contradict the Quran, except in the very same places where the Bible contradicts itself.

#  Chapter 9 : Conclusion

In a Nutshell:

Why should I feel guilty?

Due to media and government monopolization, people are quick to label us as terrorist. Why? Some people use religion in a wrong way. However it is not subjected to Islam only. In fact, Islam in history has less causality than any other religion. Crusades, Hitler, Jews, Hindus and Buddhist every religion have a very volatile and bloody history .Even Atheist leaders of godless world are very cruel. USA has attacked 8 or more Muslim countries in the name of war of terrorism and in return has created nothing but total disaster. Who decide who is a terrorist and who is not? During war of independence, Freedom fighters of Britain were called terrorists where as they were hailed as heroes in USA.

Concerning atheism and mass murder, Christian apologist Gregory Koukl wrote that **"** the assertion is that religion has caused most of the killing and bloodshed in the world. There are people who make accusations and assertions that are empirically false. This is one of them."

Koukl recapitulated,

"It is true that it's possible that religion can produce evil, and generally when we look closer at the detail it produces evil because the individual people are actually living in a rejection of the tenets of Christianity and a rejection of the God that they are supposed to be following. So it can produce it, but the historical fact is that outright rejection of God and institutionalizing of atheism actually does produce evil on incredible levels. We're talking about tens of millions of people as a result of the rejection of God."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn about communism stated,

"Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: 'Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.' Since then I have spend well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: **'Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened."**

So, why we Muslims are being crushed for crimes of few? It has nothing to do with Islam. To know about Islam, first check from where you are anchoring your information. What is being distorted and what is not. Before listening to all the negativity, read Quran and then judge us .Otherwise you will be blind followers of Muslim haters. They misquote Quranic verses to confuse you. They take verses out of context and try to portray it as established law; whereas that particular verse, more often than not, is for a particular incident. Give us a fair chance. If you pay attention to some allegations against Islam then also check the rebuttals from Muslim sources. Have discussions with learned Muslims before throwing Muslims and Islam behind your back.

And they planned and Allah (also) planned, and Allah is the best of planners." **Quran : Surah Âl 'Imran (3:54)**

Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him, "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein forever."At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term."He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,-"Except an apostle whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, "That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing." Quran: 72:20-28

The behavior toward other religions was in keeping with the principles laid down in the Quran:

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error... **(Al-Baqarah 256)**

Say: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between any of them: and we submit to Allah (in Islam)." **(Q2:136)**

James Michener in 'Islam: The Misunderstood Religion,' Reader's Digest, May 1955, pp. 68-70.:

"No other religion in history spread so rapidly as Islam. The West has widely believed that this surge of religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accepts this idea, and the Qur'an is explicit in the support of the freedom of conscience."

"Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad fought shy of serving as the transmitter of God's word sensing his own inadequacy. But the Angel commanded 'Read'. So far as we know, Muhammad was unable to read or write, but he began to dictate those inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth: "There is one God"."

"In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. When his beloved son Ibrahim died, an eclipse occurred and rumors of God 's personal condolence quickly arose. Whereupon Muhammad is said to have announced, 'An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to attribute such things to the death or birth of a human being'."

"At Muhammad's own death an attempt was made to deify him, but the man who was to become his administrative successor killed the hysteria with one of the noblest speeches in religious history: 'If there are any among you who worshiped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is God you Worshiped, He lives for ever'

Quick Overview of the similarities and differences between Islam & Christianity

Islam is similar to Christianity, both believe that:

There is only one God. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

God sent prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Joseph, John the Baptist, Jesus, etc. ( peace be upon them)

People should follow the Ten Commandments and the moral teachings of the prophets.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin; therefore Jesus was born miraculously.

Jesus Christ is the Messiah and he performed miracles.

The original Old testament/Torah and the new testament/Gospel) are Holy Scriptures.

Satan is evil; therefore, people should not follow Satan.

An Anti-Christ will appear on Earth before the Day of Judgment.

Jesus Christ will return by descending from Heaven and will kill the Anti-Christ.

The Day of Judgment will occur and people will be judged.

There is hell and paradise.
