Similarities between a man and a horse. Both have:
It's just uncanny, isn't it?
- eyes
- ears
- mouth
- nostrils
- legs
- lungs
- stomach
- heart
- hair
- teeth
- tongue
It's just uncanny, isn't it?
You say this as if cutting and pasting is somehow dishonest, or cheap...
If what is "pasted" is the truth, then what difference does it make WHO said it first? Truth is truth.
And, for the record, I am not one of your "WE" mentioned above. I agree with Mitspa, for the most part.
I have not read the whole thread, because I thought the issue was pretty much settled back on page one, or two.. mostly through Magenta's evil "cutting and pasting" (the truth)..... but comparing Islam to Christianity is an exercise in futility.
I am not at war with Islam... they have the right to believe and worship how they want. But... when radical Muslims want to kill off all non-radical Muslims, and the "good" Muslims don't rise up and publicly denounce them? How can you tell good from bad?
I still have yet to see a "radical Christian" blowing themselves up in a shopping mall full of Muslims "for Jesus"....
Different messages, different belief systems.
The problem is that Wahabbism has infiltrated most of the Sunni world via Saudi Arabia's building of mosques throughout the world and staffing them with those who teach its brand of takfiri Sunnism (salafism).
well for me I believe Iran is the head of the snake,
# one state sponser of terrorists from many many years.
I believe Iran is the king of the south,
they also helped plan 911
they have the means to stop the imigrant crisis
they pay philistine myrters

Dirty bombs are on the way. Not if, but when. Now Isis is threatening Paris style attacks soon in America.
And we have a president who is doing all he can to mollify them.
He should be tried for sabotage.
It is only the radicals. Sure. Read the Koran you soft heads in the white house. They are instructed to destroy us, if they can. One of there daily prayers is bluntly about us in a unflattering manner.
Talk about being oblivious and naive. Or maybe they are not that. Maybe the "educated" in Washington want to destroy us.
Time for a one world order.
And they want to say we are on the wrong side of history?
History will be the least of their problems in a short time.

January 6, 2016 Sunni-Shiite Showdown
Just two days into the year, the Middle East took a gigantic leap
toward a major Sunni-Shiite war.
In what might be considered the last straw that broke the camel’s back, Saudi Arabia
executed a prominent Shiite cleric, prompting an immediate backlash from Iran.
Protesters in Tehran ransacked and set fire to the Saudi embassy, while police did little
to intervene. In response, Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties, and so began the latest
fracturing of relations between Sunnis and Shiites.
Hot collars and frosty relationships are nothing new between the age-old religious bodies,
but the speed at which the latest incident has stirred insurrection has not been evident
in recent flare-ups. This is Saudi Arabia and Iran going head to head.
Killing a Cleric
The Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr was executed on Saturday after more than three years
in prison. Arrested in 2012, Nimr was an outspoken critic of the Saudi government.
He was executed on charges of inciting sectarian violence and sedition along with
a range of other offenses.
Nimr was based out of eastern Saudi Arabia where most of the nation’s Shiites reside.
He had campaigned for a greater Shiite presence in the nation, and had even suggested
that the Shiite province of Qatif secede if his demands were not met.
Nimr was neither saint nor moderate by any standard, but neither were his captors.
The Saudi regime is incredibly oppressive. Nimr died along with more than 40 other
convicts on January 2. Saudi Arabia executed 158 “terrorists” in 2015. Free speech
is a luxury in this nation where minorities and women suffer under a complex range
of civil and religious laws.
The Saudi government sends a clear message with the execution: It will not tolerate
dissent from the Shiite populace, nor will it allow Iran to establish a foothold.
In a region where Iranian-Saudi proxy wars are commonplace, the Sunni government
is looking to shore up its country as prospects of a more direct conflict with Shia Islam
—predominantly Iran—looms large.
Bahrain’s Backlash
On Monday, two days after the execution, Bahrain followed Saudi Arabia’s lead
and cut all ties with Iran.
The strong response from this tiny island nation is immensely significant;
this country plays a pivotal role for both Riyadh and Tehran.
Bahrain remains a hot spot for dissent and discontent. In some ways the Arab Spring is still simmering in Bahrain. For one, the government is Sunni, while the majority of the population is Shiite. This breeds sectarian turmoil. Making matters worse, the nation is sandwiched between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the regional heavyweights. The two countries vie for power in Bahrain as they have done for years. Iran does its best to stir up insurrection from the people, while Saudi Arabia and its allies arm the government and roll in tanks across the connecting King Fahd Causeway.
The naval importance of the country dates back as far as 1935 when the British established a base of operations there. Today, the island harbors a port for the United States 5th Fleet—another reason the Saudis want to keep Bahrain in Sunni hands. Without the port, the U.S. 5th Fleet—charged with protecting U.S. interests in the Mideast—would have to find a new home.
United Arab Emirates
In a less surprising move, the United Arab Emirates also joined Saudi Arabia, but it didn’t completely sever ties with Iran. The U.A.E. downsized its diplomatic presence in Iran and recalled its ambassador from Tehran.
The U.A.E., a long-time supporter of the Saudis, has joined Saudi Arabia in coalitions against Iran and its proxies in Bahrain, Yemen and Syria. Backing and mimicking Saudi Arabia is the next logical progression in its ongoing opposition to Iranian hegemony.
African Involvement
The third nation to fall in step with Riyadh is more of a curious choice. Sudan, another predominantly Sunni nation, has waded into the fray. It expelled the Iranian ambassador and the entire Iranian diplomatic mission. It also recalled its ambassador in Tehran.
Sudan’s actions show without a doubt that this is not just about the execution of a Shiite cleric. Nor is it just about grievances between Saudi Arabia and Iran. What we are seeing is the deepening divide between Sunnis and Shiites. Nations like Sudan don’t tend to leap into the fray like this. Sudan is on the outer rim of Iran’s reach, but not altogether free of it. It shares borders with Libya and Egypt, both of which have been dealing with Iranian-backed proxies and terror cells in recent years. Along the coast of Somalia and Yemen in the south, there has been similar violence, but Sudan has sat in the middle immersed in border disputes with South Sudan.
Regardless of the reasons, the Sunni-Shiite rift has widened substantially as of this week,
and it is preparing the way for the fulfillment of some amazing geopolitical shifts.

I took that as in a cult belief based on the teachings of one man all based on teachings of Christianity. As in, The God of Abraham and Jesus Christ, but changing what is written with a "correct" version. Like Mormonism or any of those false doctrines.

Muhammad stole from more than one "religion"to put together the Islamic religion. It is not a Christian cult.
It is, because it claims to have come from the same source. That is why we have this thread, the OP really believes that our God and his god are one and the same. Its not from God at all, but it claims to be.
I dont believe Jim Jones was a Christian, but he and his followers believed they were.

I dont believe Muslims believe they are Christian,otherwise why are they so hostel to Christians and call us infidels? They tell us we have the same god to obscure what they really believe. Muhammad turned on Christianity when they would not follow him,then he began to put them to the sword.
Muslims are hostile to anyone who is not a Muslim.
Muslims are against Christians because they believe we teach three Gods not one God. Of course their god is not God. Their prophet is not Jesus and did not resurrect as Jesus did. They have no abiding presence of the Holy Spirit.
For the cause of Christ
