It is a perfect Book, even in translation, Mr Eastman--it is a mirror. You saw in it just exactly what your heart told you to see.
I read life and acceptance in it--
you apparently read death and rejection. It is what it is--which, btw, is mostly "pointless" to us, as--admit it--"Muslims" or "Islam" is just a "news" word to you; you don't know any, and virtually never interact with any Muslims. You would not even know they existed if they were not misrepresented on Fox News every night. You have been programmed, Mr. Eastman, et al. We all have, God help us.

But I also go on record that Islam is far and away Satan's greatest achievement since my Lord's glorification. It is contrary to the Word of God. I beseech you to read His Word, for only therein are the words of eternal life.

beseech away; i know the Bible by heart. All of it. I also know most of the Qur'an, and the Tao. haven't gotten around to the Upanishads yet...
mostly because somewhere along the way I recognized that all of those volumes, Scripture included, advised me that too much study was bad, and the form is
unimportant. One could even say
irrelevant, if the seeker does not grasp that "there was a vineyard owner who had two sons"...to state it in terms familiar to you.
Although you may not know this--until it is too late--we have been programmed to hate Muslims--just as they are being programmed to hate us--and satan would not use Islam against you if it did not suit his purpose of twisting good into bad. I guess our cops are now also on the menu...fear and hate is the agenda, if you will but buy it--i do not.
Many Muslims call me friend, and brother; and i them.
Ok and wadr, "
my Lord" is an exclusive way to refer to Christ, or God, tho I'm sure you mean no offense; you might grant that it is "our Lord," if only for convention's sake.

I didn't think so, I doubt you have Christian friends, and if you do then you are a hypocrite. Maybe you could put those other passages in context as well?

yes, Mr Eastman, i have many Muslim brothers. In Christ. Just as you surely are not your dogma, they are not their dogma. WII is of course constrained from befriending you, as you have plainly declared yourself his--and unfortunately my--enemy. If you insist upon the letter of the Law, i can read some of the pertinent Psalms to you...but as i said, you are forgiven, as i hope to be.
