Foreign Names

Why do many Chinese Malaysians like to sport American names like Kelvin, Peter, Ann and Shirley
Not all of them are Christians though. It could be of Western culture that comes in through music. movies and magazines, Or it could be because a Chinese name is long. A name always comes in three components for example Lim Goh Tong. The third reason I think, its fashionable to have a name they perceive identifiable with the supposedly superior American culture.

The Malays on the other hand, have almost dropped out altogether, the traditional Malay names in favor of Arabic names. This is understandable. They have been practicing Islam for 500 years.
As for me I am the odd one out. I gave International names to all my children based on two things. First the name must consists of two Syllable only so that its easy on the tongue. Secondly it must be internationally recognizable for example people will know that the name Mimi refers to a person and not a fruit or a hand bag

Supplication

Some of the Old Testament prophets, according to the Quran, prayed to God so that off springs would be born to them. One of them was Abraham (Ibrahim) who begot Issac (Ishak) through his first wife Sarah and Ishmael (Ismail) through his second wife Hagar (Hajar). Another prophet was
Zachariah (Zakaria) . He was having the same problem too. He prayed for an off spring and he was blessed with a son John the Baptist (Yahya). Imran too prayed for a righteous son who would one day take over the care of the temple but instead he was blessed with a daughter, Mary (Mariam) - the virgin who gave birth to Jesus (Isa)

The supplications (Doa) of all these prophets can be found in the Quran. If you are childless why not give this supplication a try. If you do not succeed ask yourself why did God answer the prayers of the prophets above. All I can say God is reciprocal . Go to Him and He will come to you. Sounds like Christianity?. But this saying has been with Islam for a long time.

Cancer Scare

One morning I discovered I could not read the newspaper. Every word in print appeared double. I covered my right eye and the prints became normal again- no more double vision. Thinking that the lens of the spectacles had gone out of alignment, I took it to the optician to get the alignment checked. The optician discovered that it was my eye ball that became misaligned. He said there was a tumor that was pushing the eye ball out.

I went to the hospital for further test. In the mean time I also went to see Ustaz Husin , a religious teacher who lived in Marang. He placed his fore finger on my eyelid and started reciting verses from the Holy Quran. He also asked me to repeat the procedure at home after each daily prayer.

A week later I went to the hospital again. This time they put me in a scanning machine. It was scary. Suppose the doctor discovered I had cancer... The only thing I could do while inside the machine was to recite the verses given to me earlier. It was done in full faith of God's promise that He would respond to any distress call for help from His creatures

When I came out of the machine, the doctor smiled and gave me the OK sign. I asked him to repeat it in words. He obliged

Iron

One NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC program I watched recently shows our planet during its formative years being bombarded by materials from outer space. Some of the materials contained iron that became embedded in the ground. Millions of years later, we started mining the ore. So iron is not native to Earth. It came from somewhere else.

This phenomena is described in the Quran revealed 1,500 years ago when science, as we know it, was not even born yet. Chapter 57 Verse 25 reads:

" We bestowed from on high iron in which there is awesome power as
well as benefits for man" (57.25)

Just imagine what life would have been like if God had not given us iron

Rev.Jimmy Swagart

There was an Islam/Christian Debate on the campus of Baton Rogue University . The topic: Is the Bible God's words?". The debaters : for the Christians, Rev.Jimmy Swaggart and for Islam, the late Ahmed Deedat of South Africa. The audience - Christians and Muslims. I am not taking side. I only want to comment what Rev.Swaggart said about Islam.

Rev.Swaggart told the audience how he tried to get divine help for a patient who was hanging between life and death. He said he prayed to Muhammad and nothing happened. Then he prayed to Jesus and the patient gradually recovered. The Christians in the audience were excited. They chorused "Dead man brings no miracle" meaning that Muhammad had been long dead, so no miracle. And Jesus was alive and so, miracle. I could not read the faces of the Muslim audience but I think they were skeptical.

I don't understand why Rev.Swaggart prayed to Muhammad in the first place. May be he was trying to relate the miracle to establish the divinity of the Bible. Whatever it was, I want him to understand, Muslim never pray to Muhammad. He was a human being like you and me. Muslims are forbidden to pray to a human being. That amounts to praying to an idol.

I don't know how Rev.Swaggart got his prayer answered. He wasn't praying to God unless he considered Jesus God. I don't even know whether he was telling the truth. So many church leaders in America do things they are not supposed to do.

Loving the Jews

Why do Americans love their Jews so much?If only Americans love the Arabs half as much that would make a lot of difference. After all, its the Arabs that supply the oil that enable American to live in comfort while fellow Muslims of the Arabs live in misery. American should not befriend the Jews. The Jews have left the high moral ground long ago. They only care for material prosperity and power. They got them now. The Jews can never be true friends. They are your friend when they can get something from you. If you stand in their way, they will turn against you. They will nuke U.S.A. one day if things do not go according to their liking. Mind you Israel has about 300 nuclear bombs.

In 1967 the Jews tried to sink USS Liberty so that Egypt would get the blame. Then America would target Egypt.They wanted to make American fight their war like what is happening in Iraq today. It was the Jews too who blew up WTC. It wasn't Osama. There is no evidence that he did it. Osama would not have the capacity to direct operation from the caves in Afghanistan. All evidence point to the Jews in conspiracy with Georgie.

I would like to cite a description of the Jews in the Quran (not in exact words) God says the children of Israel ought to be grateful for being given the Torah. They should take good care of it failing which they would be denied guidance from God. Evidence show that they don't

Foreign Accent

There were many International students at the university I studied in mid-west U.S.A.- students from Europe, the Middle East. Africa, Korea and Japan. They all speak English with different accents. I find French accent cute especially when spoken by women. African accent is difficult to understand

I didn't know that people could be interested in the Malaysian accent I speak. Its not really Malaysian though. It has been seasoned by years of living abroad. I was doing a presentation in class one day and I started noticing the audience were unusually attentive. May be the presentation was good because I had put in a lot of effort in its preparation. I started to congratulate myself. However, at the end of the presentation the class was strangely quite. That was strange. Americans were a boisterous lot. The professor called out for comments. None came. Then somebody from the back said "We were paying attention to his accent - not so much to the contents"

My accent got me into another uncomfortable situation. In another presentation I was talking about medieval plays where actors who played Adam and Eve put on tight fitting body stockings to simulate nakedness. There was a suppressed laughter. Later I found out because of my accent, the audience heard me saying "stimulate" instead of "simulate"

Let the accents prevail

Of Angels and Satan

I first heard of the fallen angels from Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, in my English class at Northern Illinois University. In this essay I would like to give the Muslim version of the fallen angel. First let me say something about God's creation in which angels are a part. Generally God's creation can be put under two broad categories - The Seen and the Unseen. The Seen comprises of men and animals. The former is endowed with free choice. So men are either good or bad depending on the choice they make. Animals, however, are not endowed with free choice. They are created good with no option of becoming bad. Its true that there is a lot of killing in the animal world which we human perceive as bad, but its not so. Its all part of the food chain that has been programed by God. It should also be noted that man and animals are created from the same elements found on earth

The Unseen comprises of the angels and the jin. The former are created from light and the later from fire. Angels are not endowed with free choice so they are the most obedient of God's creatures. They are not capable going against God - not rebellious. As for jin, they are endowed with free choice. So there are good jin and bad jin. The bad jin are the ones that rebelled against God - not the fallen angels but the fallen jin. These bad characters are known as "Iblis" in Arabic and "Satan" in English. We feel bad when Christians talk bad about the angels. Lets not accuse the angels for the rebellion.

Muslims believe that both angels and jin or satan are right here on earth. The angels are the one that urge us to do good and the satan urge us to do bad

Ever wonder why the late Saddam Husin called George Bush "The Big Satan"

Sex

Once I was having a drink with an American student at the cafeteria of Northern Illinois University. He was telling me the great time he had with a girl the night before. Then unexpectedly he asked me "I can introduce you to a girl......". I was momentarily stunned. Seeing my expression, he said "Nothing wrong with consenting adults" "God" I said to myself "How do I tell off this fella". Then in a flesh, an idea came. I told him "Look, I don't even own my body. I can't do anything I like with it". With that, he changed the topic.

Note: Both the Bible and the Quran condemn adultery. Doing it would seriously affect one's standing in God's view and he or she might be denied entry to heaven. The punishment for adultery in the Bible and the Quran is the same

Jesus's Original Name

I have just finished reading stuff about Jesus posted on the internet. Now I would like to say something how his name came to be about and how it changed from the time of his birth to the present. His given name at birth was Isa al Masih. The given name was Isa and al Masih was his designation in Aramic which means the annoited one in English.

The Greek changed Isa to Jesus. The sound /I/ was transformed to /Je/ with silent J and /sa/ to
/sus/ . al Masih has been translated to Christos.(the annoited one) The Roman changed Jesus Christos to
Jesus Christ.

So Jesus Christ is the Europeanized name of Isa al Masih

Spiritual Desert

When I was a student at Northern Illinois University, there were seven churches on campus. Every Sunday I liked taking long walks around campus and the nearby town of DeKalb. So did the Americans who sometime took their dogs along. None went to church. Churches were empty. Americans do not take their religion seriously. I think there is a spiritual vacuum in their souls. Some writer calls it spiritual desert, a dry landscape where hardly anything grows.

If Americans do not maintain a regular contact with God, through church attendance or prayer at home how do they develop the ability to discern right from wrong? Guidance can only come from God.It appears American have lost the ability of discernment. Look at what they say about Iran. They are putting forward illogical and irrational arguments against Iran nuclear program

Monotheism Throughout the Ages

All prophets, from the earliest to the latest have a common mission and that is to bring the message of the oneness of God to man kind. The three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and
Islam agree on the name of the first prophet, Adam but they differ on the names of the final prophets.
In Judaism, the final prophet was Moses, in Christianity, Jesus and in Islam, Muhammad.

Monotheism is basically 1. belief in one God 2. living righteously - doing what God says and avoiding what He forbids 3. Studying the dos and don'ts in the revealed books - Torah, Bible and Quraan
(The Quraan contains a lot more dos and don'ts compared to the other two)

Earlier prophets like Noah, Hud and Lot had not been successful in carrying out their missions. People rejected the messages of these prophets. As a result of their denial, both the Bible and the Quraan tell us God destroyed those people who defied the prophets.

Next came Moses. Initially he was successful in spreading the message of monotheism. God gave him the Torah. But at a later stage after the demise of the prophet, the Israelites began to lose their conviction in divine judgement and hereafter and focus their lives instead on the pursuit of material prosperity and power. I think God punished the Israelites the way He punished the people of Noah, Hud and Lot. Throughout history Israel had been attacked many times, their temples destroyed and the people taken into captivity. The latest disaster that befell them was the holocoust in World War II.

Then came along Jesus whose mission was to confirm and revive the teaching of Moses. But unfortunately the teaching of Jesus had been tainted by the pagan beliefs of Greece and Rome which witnessed the dietification of the prophet to the status of god.

Finally came Muhammad whose mission was similar to that of Jesus and that is according to the Quraan, to confirm whatever remain of the previous revelations - the Torah and the Bible

We have a common heritage. Why are we fighting?

American Elections

I followed the last two American elections. I think Al Gore and John Kerry were able people who would make good presidents but instead a not-so-able man made it to the White House for two terms at that. He did it by cheating on both occasions. The Jews found him dumb enough to be led by the nose. So they rigged the election and they got a mule to work for Israel.

Obama is also an able man who would make a good president, though young an inexperienced. He has common sense something that John McCain doesn't have in spite of being a veteran with lots of experience. Although Obama might get more votes than Mc.Cain in November, Obama might not make it to the White House.

History has the habit of repeating itself. The Jews might rig the election again this time around in favor of McCain who is known to be a great fan of Israel. Israel can do anything they like because they are the unchallenged master of the world. To quote Dr.Mahathir, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia "Jews control the world"

Exodus 12.37

I do not agree with some of the things in Exodus for example the story of Moses leading 600,000 men
out of Egypt. The figure 600,000 is much too big. It would have taken Moses and his followers days to complete the crossing of the sea. By that time, Pharaoh and his well-armed army could have caught up with the fleeing Israelites and smite them down one by one.

The trek across the blazing Sinai Desert towards Palestine, the promised land, would take a long time. Stopping at Mt.Sinai alone for a communion with God, took Moses 40 days.What about food supply and tents? Moses could not have possibly brought enough of them to feed and shelter 600,000
men, that did not include women and children yet.

Exodus is a fact confirmed by the Quraan but the details provided by the Bible is a myth.

Animosity

There is so much animosity between the Jews and the Christian on one side and the Muslims on the other side. The Jews and the Christians have been close to each other for so long because their prophets, Moses and Jesus were of the same lineage and share the same holy land. Besides this they share a common dream that is to take possession of the Promised Land that is so rich in oil. Their enmity towards Islam started with the War of the Crusades that lasted more than a hundred years. Stories of the war were told to countless generations of children in the Christian world- the crusaders were the hero and the Muslim, the bad guy. The Christians and the Jews look at Muslims as illegal settlers of the Promised Lands- a disputed territory that has not been resolved yet. It can been seen here that the reason for the animosity is stupid old prejudice kept alive by greed and egocentric mind set of the Jews and the Christians

Offending Words

Three words gained currency in the West since the start of George Bush's War on Terror. They are
Muhammadan, Islamist, and Jihadist. All these words are offensive to Islam. The coining of these words, shows the West total ignorance of Islam. Muhammadan, implies that it was Muhammad who founded Islam. He wasn't. Islam comes from God. Its a divine religion. Muhammad was a mere messenger, a humble one at that who could neither read or write. He did not invent Islam.

The West uses the word Islamist to refer to people who profess Islam. There is already a word for this. The word is "Muslim" for male and "Muslimat" for females which have been in continous use since the time of prophet Muhammad. Perhaps the use of the word Islamist serves the purpose of projecting militancy to the rest of the world.

The West describes Jihadist as a Muslim involved in death-defying acts of terrorism (heroism). In Islam Jihad actually means efforts to improve oneself from good to better

Barrack Obama

So Barrack Obama wants to pull out US troops from Iraq in 18 months, if elected president. Fine. But can he do it? He is going against the wishes of Israel (America's master) that wants to see Iraq subdued. Obama must remember that he needs Jewish financial backing in the presidential election in November. If McCain wins, he wouldn't want to leave Iraq, not before securing a victory. That's rubbish. McCain should have known better. America would lose the war the way it happened in Vietnam.

Iraqis should unite and together kick out the Americans. Get the help of brother states like Hisbullah,
al Queda or Iran. Its perfectly legitimate to form a coalition to drive out invaders. After all America formed a coalition too when they invaded Iraq in 2003

What America and Israel are doing in the Middle East today has been predicted in the Bible

For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today when I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the Lord, then how much more after my death. Deuteronomy 31; 27

Son Of God

I am a Muslim and I am upset when Jesus a revered prophet of Islam being made "Son of God". I have a theory how this came to be about. In Greek mythology, there was a god who came down to earth and impregnated one of the local goddesses and from this union, Zues another god was born.
It bears striking parallel with the son ship of Jesus.

In the Bible, Jesus is not the only one designated "Son of God" There are several others. My second theory is that it could be the custom of the ancient people to call any god abiding person "Son of God"
Jesus was certainly such a person.

In Malaysia today, a kid who is good at football would be called "Son of Beckham- after that great footballer. I too consider myself "Son of God" in the sense that it was God, who created me through
the medium of my parents.

In the Quraan God, got raving mad about the claim that Jesus was His son

God's Neat Plans

Muslims believe there is only one God in the whole universe; He is the creator and the sustainer.The Christians believe in one God too and so are the Jews. By this argument, the Christians, the Muslims and the Jews are worshiping the same God - the one and only one God. This God is known by different names. To the Muslims, He is Allah. To the Jews, Yuhuweh and the Christians, Lord.

Since there is only one God, all the prophets must have come from the same God. We go a step further. All the prophets must have carried the same message. Such similarities are discernable from all the three holy books, the Quraan, the Bible and the Torah. To some Muslims "Holy Book" is always in the singular because there is only one Holy Book sent down by God to different prophets at different times starting with Moses, going through Jesus and finally Muhammad.

Everything God does is neat. Look at the orbits of planets in space and look at the ecosystem on Earth that exemplify this neatness. That goes for religion too. It is as neat as the other creations. When things go off track - no longer neat -we have problems. Look at global warming for instance.This is but one example of things that might go wrong. Then again look at strife between nations or rather between the West and the Islamic world. This is the result of people going off track. But who? The Muslims, the Christians or the Jews? The answer is simple. The Quraan says
the children of Israel rebelled against God. The Bible too say the same. Read the lamentation of Moses in the Bible when he saw the misgiving of the Israelites. The children of Israel have not changed since the time of Moses. They are the most ruthless of God's critters that ever walk the Earth.

In conclusion I urge Christians and the Jews to read their Bibles again. After that read the Quraan. Find out for yourself whether the Bible proves the Quraan wrong or the Quraan proves the Bible wrong.

Genesis

I have just finished reading Genesis and I am making the following observations. Genesis contains all the stories of the Israelite prophets that are also mentioned in the Quran. The stories in Genesis however are long narratives of what each prophet did, down to the last minute details. I am wondering the significance of these detailed events and how they contribute towards making righteous human beings.

There are some disagreement though; Genesis tells as Noah was a farmer who had a vineyard
(Genesis 9.20).He made wine and one day he got so drunk that he became uncovered without a single piece of cloth on him. His two son covered him and when Noah got up, he cursed the children.
To a Muslim it is unthinkable that a prophet got drunk and cursing people after that. Then in
(Genesis 3.8) Adam is said to have heard God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. This line is objectionable to the Muslims because it describes God as having human characteristic - walking.
God is undefineable, unfathomable beyond human perception. We the created beings would never ever imagine God.

In another example (Genesis 18.8) Abraham was visited by two angels who were bringing the glad tiding the birth of a son. Genesis said the angel ate the food that Abraham served. While the Quran says angel are God's creatures that neither eat nor drink

In Support of Al Queda

I would support Al Queda for what it stands. The first objective of this movement is the ousting of Americans from the Middle East. The Americans, in cohoot with the Jews, are seeking hegemony in the Islamic heart land. With the expulsion of the Americans,al Queda will replace the present undemocratic rulers of the Arab countries with the caliphate system that worked very well during the height of Islamic civilization. As it is, Middle East is the only place on Earth, where the office of presidents is hereditory just as the lineage of monarchy.

Today the price of oil is manipulated by the West. aL Queda wants the price to be determined by market force. The rulers of super rich oil producing countries like Dubai and Kuwait are spending their oil money lavishly while their Muslim bretherens in Africa and elsewhere live in deprivation.

Al Queda is not a terrorist organization although it is responsible for the death of many innocent lives,but the number of innocent people killed by the Americans - the real terrorists - is much greater. Can I expect CIA to come to my house and whisk me to Guantanamo in the middle of the night?

Public Relation Stunt

When I was s student in mid-west USA , I washed dishes at a restaurant just out side campus. One afternoon I was carrying a tray of spoons up front during busy lunch hour. I stumbled and dropped the tray on the floor. The sound of the falling spoons could be heard at the back of the restaurant. Some stopped eating to find out what had happened. The manager came down and ordered me to pick the spoons and get them washed again. As I was taking the spoons to the back of the restaurant, the manager hurriedly came towards me. I was prepared to get fired. Instead he laughed heartily, "No need to wash " he said with a glint in his eyes " Bring them out again in ten minutes". So it was just a
show he put up in front of the customers.

The Muslim Head Dress

Why is the West making such fuss with Muslim head dress. The wearing of it is a religious requirement. It is probably a requirement too in Christianity. Look at the nuns. They are always with a head dress. Virgin Mary is always shown with her head covered. Then again look at old engraving from Medieval England . King Arthur's consort kept her head covered. This is but one example. In the 19th.century European immigrants arrived in New York Harbor. Their women folks had their heads covered by scarves.

Today I have seen pictures of Americans ripping off the head covering of Muslim women in New York. Why can't they be more tolerant. Over here in Malaysia, we tolerate Westerners over what they wear or don't wear on our island resorts. I can only conclude that, it is Islam that they are against - not so much the head dress

The Rich,Famous,Powerful

Every now and then we hear of the demise of the rich, the famous and the powerful and we stop to think for a while about the significant of the event.What is riches any way? Its having a control over a large portion of God's bounty - given on trust actually. You control it for a while and after that its no longer yours. What about fame? Well, its a nice feeling for being known and admired by a lot of people. One can be famous for notoriority too and despised by a lot of people. Come to think about it, whats so great about being famous? Finally, what is power? Simple. Its something that George Bush has a lot. He enjoys using it in the way he perceives to be good either for himself or for Americans. Riches, fame and power are not really worth spending your whole life on it because the pursue of these, is not the main purpose of creation. What then is worth while persuing? By moving harmoniously within God's grand scheme of creation, the cosmos, the earth and the life on it which are all subsevient to God's command. Things should be done in His name and according to His laws. As it is today, George Bush and his Jewish buddies are striving for more and more riches and power. America with 6% of world population controls 50% of world's
riches. We in the third world countries, need two more planets like earth to be on par with the Americans. From the Muslim and Christian perspective, George Bush is a bloody sinner. He's gonna lose his soul and and earn the wrath of God. He may get all them oil he wants but it ain't worth a dime, if he loses his soul

Paul Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz, though busy, but still managed to find time to fly to Germany to see Anuar Ibrahim who was under going medical treatment there. Why should Wolfowitz want to see Anuar Ibrahim who has been kicked out and disgraced by the Malaysian government. Did Wolfowitz make some shady deals with Anuar. He was capable of making dirty deals. Wasn't he the one who planned the Iraq invasion?. That reminds me of Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi who fled the country over a bank scandal. He was the one who told the idiot in the White House about Iraq WMD.
Looking at the insane foreign policy of America today, I would not be surprised if America invades
Malaysia one day and put Anuar as puppet prime minter in the same category as Hamid Karzai and Nuri Almaliki. Israel would love to hit at a Muslim country- a vibrant one at that -because Islam is their sworn enemy. America would not hesitate to obey Israel's wish because America is Israel's mule.

Watch Your CGPA

I got an SMS from Mat Som, that Fatah, from the class of 61, passed away today. When we left school 47 years ago, there were 60 of us, all ready to take the world in our stride. Since then many have been summoned to meet their creator and today we are left with about 50% of the original number. Before I join them myself, I must make sure that my CGPA is OK. I must fulfill all graduation requirements or else I would find myself in hell! So friends, watch your CGPA

Biblical Names

When I was a student in New Zealand way back in 1974, I and a friend spent one week end with a kiwi family on a farm some where near Palmerston. During dinner time my host happened to mentioned some names from the Bible. He was surprised when I told him those names also appeared in the Quraan. I am listing down those names as they appear in the Bible and the Quraan.

In the Bible In the Quraan
Adam, Eve Adam, Hawa
Enoch Idris
Noah Nuh
Hud Hud
Lot Luth
Salih Salih
Abraham Ibrahim
Ishmael Ismail
Isaac Ishak
Jacob Yakkub
Joseph Yusof
Shuyb Shuib

Job Ayub
Ezekiel Zulkifli
Jonah Yunus
Elias Elias
Elija Al Yasa
Zachariah Zakaria
John Yahya
Jesus Isa

Is this coincidence or plagarism or do they come from a common source?

The Middle East Crisis

(A letter sent to the American Embassy in Kuala Lumpur when Ms. Rice visited Malaysia last year)

Q: Would there be Middle East Crisis if the American had not set foot there?
A: Definitely NO. Their presence there is the cause of the problem.
Q; Why did the American set foot in the Middle East?
A: OIL, to maintain their extravagant life style and to ensure that their status as number one
super power stays (Such selfishness!)
Q: What is America's foreign policy in the Middle East?
A: To secure constant supply of oil and to keep other countries out of it.
Q: What is the strategy the American adopt regarding this?
A: Keep the Arabs divided. Make them dependent on American technology and military
protection. Prevent any Arab state from becoming a strong military power with nuclear
capability
Q: Why is Israel so friendly two America?
A: Israel does not have natural resource. It depends on the American for economic and
military aids for survival
Q: Why is America so friendly to Israel?
A: Israel is biblical land. Besides this America needs Israel to carry out surveillance on
Arab states. Israel is America's policeman, a hired killer and a battle ship rolled into one
Q: What happen when America and Israel are very close?
A: Israel controls America through AIPAC. Sharon himself said it when he was P.M.
Q: What is America's long term plan in the Middle East?
A: To control Arab countries through regime change and set up pro-America puppet
governments in order to control their oil wells
Q: What is Israel's long term plan in the Middle East?
A: To take the Arab lands in order to expand the State of Israel . To realize the biblical
dream of the promised land (The Muslims are the rightful heir of the promised
because they remain true to the teaching of the prophets right to the end whereas the Christians and the Jews stopped half way)
Q: Why are the American and the Jews so reckless with utter disregard for
ethical values?
A: Their Bibles do not prescribe comprehensive rules - dos and don't - on how to conduct
themselves civilly among human communities. They are not afraid to offend God and continue
doing things that are obviously against the teaching of their religions (More on this)
Q: Is it correct to say that the American wants what is below the ground (oil) and the Jews
want what is above the ground (land)?
A: Exactly. That is what the fighting is all about.
Q: What must we Muslims do?
A: The Quraan says "Drive out the infidels who want to take your home land" Keep on
fighting. It is a religious obligation

Voice of God

George Bush once told Mahmood Abbas that God asked him to form the Palestinian State. If God had really spoken to George, then he must be in the category of those divinely inspired prophets of old like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. These prophets were God-fearing-righteous people who committed no sin. But George does not have any of these quality. To begin with, he is a serial liar.Everybody knows that. He is also a former alcoholic and probably a womaniser too What then is the voice that George heard? It could have been a hallucination and in that case he is mentally sick. If not it could be the voice of the devil itself. I bet the devil likes to befriend George.

They had a discussion on this on the BBC but I missed that program

George W.Bush

George Bush has been in office for almost eight years now. Can any body outside A.I.P.A.C.
(America Israel Public Affairs Committee) say anything good about his admistration ?

I think Bush's admintration brought nothing but misery to the world as well as to the Americans themselves. Below are some examples

1. Global warming by his refusal to rectify the Kyoto Treaty. With global warming comes adverse weather conditions, flooding, crop failure and famine.
2. Death and Destruction- He has destroyed two Muslim countries already and is about to go for the third one. He brought deaths by the million.
3.Rising petrol price- With rising price of gas, price of food staff and every thing else goes up.
4.Hatred of American world wide- I would not invite Americans home as I used to previously

I think Bush also brought nothing good to the Americans. Americans have to put up with high unemployment, high gas price, losing their homes to the banks and infringment of privacy.
Come to think of it. its incredible how this idiot Bush could cause so much damage. It is unbelievable why Americans have not thrown this man out of office yet. Europe has produced an evil man in the person of Adolf Hitler and America too has produced an equally evil person, George Bush

Unbecoming Prophets

If the Bible is really God's words then how could God say bad things about His prophets who happen to be prophets of Islam as well. Here are some examples

1. A prophet in the Bible has sex with his two daughters
2 A prophet in the Bible got drunk
3. A prophet in the Bible fell in love with another man's wife then he sent the woman's husband to war only to be killed in the battle
4. A prophet in the bible tricked his blind father
5. In Exodus, Prophet Harun had a hand in the making of the golden calf
6. On a visit to Egypt Prophet Ibrahim consented his wife to spend a night in Pharaoh's bed room

To a Muslim, its unthinkable that God had said all this

The Original Sin

I first heard of the Original Sin in my literature class, Milton's Paradise Lost in which the writer described about Adam's disobedience to God's command. I have also read about this disobedience in the Koran but Adam has repented and God has forgiven him. Then I turned to the Bible (King James) to find out whether it says the same thing. I could not find it but instead I found the part that says that one is not responsible for another person's sin. By this logic, Christians are not responsible for the sin of Adam. We Muslims don't worry about it because we know we have to take care of our own sins only and not of somebody's. From what I understand about Christianity, the whole structure of its belief is built around the concept of Original Sin. With Original Sin gone, the structure of its belief collapses. I am not trying to discredit Christianity. I am simply intrigued by the whole thing. I am sorry if I have offended anybody
