did you read any historical references or books about Islam or the prophet Muhammed before you attack Islam?

Oh yeah, I remeber reading lots of books which assured the reader that muslims worship the moon, don`t belive in jesus or in his miraculous birth, insult vergin mary, and that muslims are ordered to kill themselves in the most explosive manner in order to have sex with 70 vergins in heaven ..etc\n\nLater I knew how false all this garbage was, but I also found out that other religions have simillar lies to say about christianity.\n\nNo wonder so many people hate eaach other in this world!\nOnce again: Never judge a man you've never met, a book you've never read, or a place you've never been to :)

Unfortunately the story is mentioned in Islamic history. This is the problem when faith gets mixed with politics. Assissanation and killing opponents is very common among politicians, but it was not supposed to be for a prophet.

Certainly The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ismentioned in the Bible.\nThis would certainly interest our Christian friends.\n\nMuhammad in the Bible\nDr. Khalil Ahmad Nasir\n\nMuhammad in the Bible\n\nTABLE OF CONTENTS \nThe Historical Test \nA Prophet From Thy Brethren \nDivine Light From Paran \nThe Earth Was Full Of His Praise \nThe Prince of Peace \nConclusion \nThe world today looks for rational and historical evidence to prove the truth of a person who claims to be from God. These criteria fully support the truth of our Holy Prophet Muhammad.\n\nRational Test \n\nRational thinking indicates that the world was in dire need of revelation, of water from the fountain of spiritual guidance, at the time when the Holy Prophet appeared. He led an ideal life, a perfect example to be followed throughout the future. He started his mission against immense difficulties. He and his followers met strong persecution and opposition. But he was protected and helped by God in miraculous ways. Before his death his mission was firmly established all over Arabia and was rapidly spreading to other countries. \n\nHe worked miracles. He foretold the future, and his prophecies were fulfilled not only in his lifetime but continue to be fulfilled in our time as well. He brought a teaching  which has attracted countless adherents since he appeared. In short, all rational tests prove that the mission of the Holy Prophet Muhammad was truly from God. \n\nThe Historical Test \n\nThere is also another test, the historical one, which our present day world requires of a messenger of God. A notable American Bishop of the Catholic Church wrote in a nationally famous magazine that the test of history available to all men, all civilizations and all ages can be applied only to Jesus, because: \n\nThere were no predictions about Buddha, Muhammad, or anyone else -except Christ. Others just came and said: “Here I am, believe me”. Christ alone steps out of the line and answers: My coming was foretold, even to the smallest detail. \n\nThis statement is quite challenging and requires attention. We Muslims believe that Jesus was a true prophet of God. We also accept his advent as having been foretold in the previous scriptures. \n\nBut what about Muhammad? \n\nWe find that his coming was foretold in clear and precise terms not only by Jesus himself but by Moses and other Biblical prophets as well. In fact it seems from whatever words of Jesus are available to the world, that the bringing of glad tidings of a great coming prophet was one of the chief objects of his mission. \n\nAgain and again Jesus said that he was sent to the world only to give as much guidance as the people of his own time could bear. As for complete teaching which would stay forever with mankind, he said: \n\nBut the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14-26) \n\nOnly the prophet of Islam could have fulfilled this prophecy of Jesus. Muhammad was truly sent in his name because he bore testimony to his truth. The Holy Quran says: \n\nThe Messiah, son of Mary, was a messenger, "surely messengers like unto him had passed away before him" (The Holy Quran 5:76) \n\nThe Holy Quran reports that the angels told Mary: \n\nSurely Allah gives you good news with a word from Him of whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and hereafter. (The Holy Quran 3:46) \n\nThe Holy Prophet testified to the truth of Jesus as a divine and honored Teacher and Prophet, and declared them mistaken and misguided who thought him accursed. The Holy Quran described his teachings as "guidance and light ."Further elaborating the same prophecy, Jesus said: \n\nNevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will sent him unto you

That was funny. I was thinking of verse 9.11 of the Qu'ran when I realised it was a direct reference to September 11..\nHowever, though it is a tragedy, there have been many more killings sanctioned by religions that aren't necessary Muslim.\nThat is a sad thing, for religion to be used as a basis of war.

You should cite resources before you speak nonsense.\n\nWhere did you get the info that Rumi did not support Prophet Muhammads teachings??? are you mad? \n\nNo body can be muslim unless they support his teachings..He was the one God chose to send the last book with. Who are you to speak such nonsense.

Ask Muhammed and read a few of their holy texts:\n\nBukhari:V4B52N220“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.’”\nQur’an:8:12“I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”\nQur’an:8:57“If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”\nIshaq:326“If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.”\nQur’an:8:67“It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughtered in the land.”\nIshaq:588“When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.”\nTabari IX:42“We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.”\nIshaq:326“Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.’”\nIshaq:327“Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”\nQur’an:7:3“Little do you remember My warning. How many towns have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them.”\nIshaq:510“When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.’ He used to say this of every town he raided.”\nBukhari:V5B59N512“The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!’ [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.”\nBukhari:V9B87N127“The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.’”\nIshaq:517“Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle’s squadron, fully armed, powerful and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.”\nTabari VIII:116\nIshaq:511“So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”\nBukhari:V5B59N512“The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive.”\nTabari VIII:129“After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in Fadak when they received news of what Allah had brought upon Khaybar. Fadak became the exclusive property of Allah’s Messenger.”\nTabari VIII:133“The raiding party went to Tha’labah. One of Muhammad’s slaves, said, ‘Prophet, I know where Tha’labah can be taken by surprise.’ So Muhammad sent him with 13

One American:  Islam was invented by Muhammed (who had very little, if any, knowledge of math, science, anatomy, physiology, astronomy, or history...especially religious history).  His writings are filled with violence, hatred and general ignorance.

Mohammed is more recent.Jesus lived about 2000 years ago, Muhammed lived only 1400 years ago.Wait another 600 years and there might be people who would doubt he ever existed.\nAlso Muhammed interacted with other nations that were devoloped enough to keep accurate records.(he exchanged messages with Rulers of Egypt, Byzantium, Rome, Persia, etc, and he led a defensive war against a Byzantian army, so he was mentoned in the records of many countries). jesus didn't make such fuzz , and the commotion he made was veru local and didn`t start spreading into different countries except much later after his crucification.So he left a chance for historians to make hefty amounts of mony by publishing books on doubting that he ever existed:)\n\nIn all cases it makes no difference, both chistianity and islam have billions of followers , and both are manipulated by morons to promote hate , bias, descrimination, fanaticism, and we-are-better-than-you childish atitudes as many answers here reflect , which goes in sheer contrast with the teachings of both faiths!(peace and love) \n\nSome humans can't help being insecure.

Yes.. I have read the Koran, I have chatted with some of the OK muslims, and yes I understand that there are a few good ones.  But the bad ones outweigh the good ones.  Their Koran does include the verses about killing, raping, and was written by a pedofile.  No one can deny this.  What is the big deal of trying to convince us that there are not a lot of bad ones out there.  Hitler did a lot of bad things and there were a lot of bad Germans at that time, but not all were with Hitler.  So what is the point??  You are trying to whitewash Islam and it can't be done.  Leave the good ones alone and let them be good.  They really should seperate themselves from the rest of Islam.  The peaceful Muslims should invent another name and go ahead with that and let the bad ones go their way.  If the peaceful Muslims continue to associate themselves with the bad ones then they will all be colored with the same brush.  The things that they do, cutting off hands, feet, taking out eyes for Islamic legal punishment.  There is no denying this.  Muslims dis-assocaite yourselves with these folks!  Become western muslims or something like that.\nLast year they discovered TWO Islamic terrorists cells in Lodi CA in the mosques there, how many times have you read that about the Baptists??  Give me a break, dis-associate.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST IRAN GETTING NUKES?? They are silent.  \nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST. OSAMA BIN LADEN??  They are silent.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS GO BACK AND FIGHT TO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR LAND?  They are not there.\nI am not talking about the ones in Iraq that are trying to do the right thing, I am talking about the ones safe and secure in the US complaining.
