Reasons Why Muslims Detest Christians' Months/days by mutw(m): 4:24pm On Nov 24, 2010
Hello everyone
This is clear proof to let every reader of this thread, either christian, muslim, which ever know that the months, days we follow today are the names of some Roman gods. I am sure it is unbiblical and unislamic too. but the question is why do christians follow these days/months. Muslim created theirs because of the etymology of these so called Roman gods.  The etymologies shall be posted in the next thread.
