Did u see that BOKO Hama originated from Jesus language? All the terrorist are originated from Mohameds language, so to terrorise is to defend Moslims? The Allah of the Pagan Arabs still remain the Allah Mohamed preached to u People. Why wont they be violence. Its a small god from the origin. U Muslims should be laughing at urselves for worshing a pagan god.
I dont laugh at u but pray u face the truth one day like many other muslims out there. Once u get to ur senses and decides to denouce Islam, u become a treat. Is this normal? Yet u laugh at urselves for been brainwashed by the Arabs!?.

Re: Is Islam Really A Religion Of Peace? by vedaxcool(m): 7:46am On Nov 15, 2011
did the crusaders that massacred jews, muslims originated from Islam? Did World war I originate from Islam? or Did World War II originate from Islam? Or was it Islam that thought Bush how to lie to start wars? ok I see Bush is a Muslim? ok I see all American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are muslims? ok i see Rwandan Genocide was perpetuated by Muslims pretending to Christians? you see as long as that malaise I spoke about continue we will have to say we dey laugh unah! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin and to top it off, go worship you pagan cross god, who had to shout to the real God, my lord my Lord why have thou forsaken me! indicating that by himself he can do nothing we still dey laugh unah grin grin grin grin
Re: Is Islam Really A Religion Of Peace? by plappville(f): 8:59am On Nov 15, 2011
your ve already proved how little your brain is, your way of thinking alone. U know nothing about people u just mentioned.
Who told u Bush is a Christian? Haha little brain boy/man. That man u call Bush is not a Christian
For u Muslims every Americans are Christian lols, Bush is a not a body of Christ. He has his own practice outside God just like u moslims. All these u mentioned are originated from u Moslims and Paganist your originated god allah of the arabs.

and to top it off, go worship you pagan cross god, who had to shout to the real God, my lord my Lord why have thou forsaken me! indicating that by himself he can do nothing we still dey laugh
See how little your brain is again, [b]your pagan god who had to shout to the real God. [/b]think of it MR, at the first place, if he was not Godhead will he even shout to the real God? Will a Juju priest call the real God at a point of death no. See u ve fall your hands by proving Jesus called on the real God at the point of death, the same he has always called when he was teaching.

U moslims are missing something about Christianity, we ve absolutly nothing to do with the cross. We do what Jesus taught us
to do, he never told us to worship or honour the cross so we dont because it is a gravy image. U shouldnt take us for the catholics. Jesus came to die, his death happens for purposes so he was willing, God love for the the world is a fulfillment of
Jesus death. Jesus raised the deads (Lazarus) by calling on his father, he told his disciples that it was for Gods glory, and Lazarus return back to earth brought glory to God by Jesus. he never said he did things by himself.  Muslims framed up lies.
He told us that no one, absolutely no one can get to his father but by him. and that is just the fact.
Wether Moslims, buddist or other religions like it or not, it stands like that.
U muslim denies Jesus but claims his teaching about the conforter was for the pagan god preached by Mohammed,
correcting things by training and equiping youths with bombs. World trade center, Farouk the nigerian moslim cought with
BOMB many uncountable events u do not even know, killing innocents all in the name of Sharia?
U just come here and say u re laughing, i must say, the arabs are laughing at u because they know the origin of the god they worship but u no not so its not your fault. Continue to be Idol worshiper allah the god of violence.

So you concede Jesus is falsely being worshipped as a god! how nice, you example is strangely un-intelligent with little sense in it, we both agree that Jesus cried for help from God the almighty, I take it common sense should atleast dictate to any that Jesus could not even save himself, I take it common sense will have dictate to any that if Jesus had beg for help, then like he said by himself he caqn do nothing, this is just plain common sense not parable that might confuse you the more. and it is very possible that a Juju priest can call on the real God if he had heard about him in the pouint of death but fortunately I have never being around a juju priest at the point of death, hence like I indiocated earlier the example abuses every known parameter of commonsense and decency! adn in the Qur'an Pharoah at the point of death tried praying to the real God to save him, by saying I believe in the God of Moses . . . hence your false god knew of the real God who he prayed to every time, . . . i hope you that have a large brain can put it into good use . . . smiley

after reading the above I wondered whether you had not convulsed yourself to unconsciousness grin grin grin , as from every indication it is utmostly incoherent and difficult to decipher, like I wrote earlier the two world wars were the hand work of Christians those war alone would put to shame the total number of people tat have died from terrorism associated with Muslim a million times over, I say using your large brain method of understanding, this indeed is inspired by Christianity. and remember the Rwandans who tried wiping themselves to extinction, guess what both parties in the war were again Christian, remember Ireland in which two Christian parties Catholics vs protestants used bombing campaign against each other to prove a point? yeah your guess is as good as mine they were both Christians trying to wipe each other to extinction. the Muslim follow the Law which Jesus claimed he did not come to abolish, MS feel absolute freedom to deny Christ and follow Paul, a man whose appointed himself an apostle of Christ after being a persecutor of the followers of Christ. Islam on the other hand gives us the best, it tells us to take responsibility for our actions rather than blame them on Adam, it tells us tor reason and not follow people sheepishly . . . many more it tells us to do, that had I write them the servers of the Internet would have no space for them. . . smiley

Same history noted that D pagan Arabs, before Muhammad's time, knew their chief god by D name of Allah and even, in a sense, proclaimed his unity, In between the pagan Arabs this term signified the chief god of their pantheon, the KAABA, with its three hundred and sixty idols. Why ve u been silenting to prove me wrong with ur idol god? u just ignore and bit around the bush.

Bush maybe decleared as christian before, but he is not anymore, u must know that people change, u can wonder how i know Bush better than u. Laugh urself and be updated. even the Imam can openly deleared himself as christian and history will record it.

So you concede Jesus is falsely being worshipped as a god! how nice,
You re still in ur dream wake up MR, stop misunderstanding urself.

@Vedaxcool, u giving examples of people who kill for different reasons, but not for christianity, it`s not the same thing as Muslims that claim to kill or fight for Allah as instructed in the Holy Koran.

@Sweetner, Islam was forced on us Yoruba people by the Fulani jihadist(Usman Danfodio and Alimi) Read about the islamic conquest in Northern Nigeria and Yoruba land, if not for the British I am sure we would have been conquered and all Yoruba`s forced to convert as they did to Ilorin and old Oyo people.

Halt for some moment before you start blurting.
First of all,what is the aim of the website?
It is a place for muslims to learn about Islam and Christianity.The website was created due to many questions arising from many muslims about who they think Isa al Mashia is and about his teachings which differ from the Koran.
The website Index states
Muslims want the truth, and IsaalMasih.net provides it in a way they best understand it. Various teachers who love Muslims team together to give the answers to the questions Muslims ask.
To learn about Isa al Masih (Jesus), the Holy Scriptures, proofs from archaeology, creation.

Many Islamic scholers and Xtians team together to provide answers to questions many muslims who want the truth asks.
So now,is the website meant for xtians or muslims? I dont call my Jesus, Isa and my God, Allah.
Everything on the website is pure Islamic and it has passed many endorcements,

So my brother,stop the incurring attitude and read with the mind of your own and understanding,it will do you lots of good.

Partial [size=32pt]List of christian attrocities[/size]:

Christian Atrocities: Three Centuries Of Pagan Persecution

314 Immediately after its full legalisation, the Christian Church attacks non-Christians. The Council of Ancyra denounces the worship of Goddess Artemis.

324 The emperor Constantine declares Christianity as the only official religion of the Roman Empire. In Dydima, Minor Asia, he sacks the Oracle of the god Apollo and tortures the pagan priests to death. He also evicts all non-Christian peoples from Mount Athos and destroys all the local Hellenic temples.

325 Nicene Council. The godman gets a promotion: 'Christ is Divine'

326 Constantine, following the instructions of his mother Helen, destroys the temple of the god Asclepius in Aigeai Cilicia and many temples of the goddess Aphrodite in Jerusalem, Aphaca, Mambre, Phoenicia, Baalbek, etc.

330 Constantine steals the treasures and statues of the pagan temples of Greece to decorate Constantinople, the new capital of his Empire.

335 Constantine sacks many pagan temples in Asia Minor and Palestine and orders the execution by crucifixion of “all magicians and soothsayers.” Martyrdom of the neoplatonist philosopher Sopatrus.

341 Constantius II (Flavius Julius Constantius) persecutes “all the soothsayers and the Hellenists.” Many gentile Hellenes are either imprisoned or executed.

346 New large scale persecutions against non-Christian peoples in Constantinople. Banishment of the famous orator Libanius accused as a “magician”.

353 An edict of Constantius orders the death penalty for all kind of worship through sacrifice and “idols”.

354 A new edict orders the closing of all the pagan temples. Some of them are profaned and turned into brothels or gambling rooms.

Execution of pagan priests begins.

A new edict of Constantius orders the destruction of the pagan temples and the execution of all “idolaters”.

First burning of libraries in various cities of the empire.

The first lime factories are organised next to the closed pagan temples. A major part of the holy architecture of the pagans is turned into lime.

357 Constantius outlaws all methods of divination (astrology not excluded).

359 In Skythopolis, Syria, the Christians organise the first death camps for the torture and executions of the arrested non-Christians from all around the empire.

361 to 363 Religious tolerance and restoration of the pagan cults is declared in Constantinople (11th December 361) by the pagan emperor Julian (Flavius Claudius Julianus).

363 Assassination of Julian (26th June).

364 Emperor Jovian orders the burning of the Library of Antioch.

An Imperial edict (11th September) orders the death penalty for all those that worship their ancestral gods or practice divination (“sileat omnibus perpetuo divinandi curiositas”).

Three different edicts (4th February, 9th September, 23rd December) order the confiscation of all properties of the pagan temples and the death penalty for participation in pagan rituals, even private ones.

The Church Council of Laodicea (Phrygia – western Asia Minor) orders that religious observances are to be conducted on Sunday and not on Saturday. Sunday becomes the new Sabbath. The practice of staying at home and resting on Saturday declared sinful and anathema to Christ.

365 An imperial edict from Emperor Valens, a zealous Arian Christian (17th November), forbids pagan officers of the army to command Christian soldiers.

370 Valens orders a tremendous persecution of non-Christian peoples in all the Eastern Empire. In Antioch, among many other non-Christians, the ex-governor Fidustius and the priests Hilarius and Patricius are executed. The philosopher Simonides is burned alive and the philosopher Maximus is decapitated. All the friends of Julian are persecuted (Orebasius, Sallustius, Pegasius etc.).

Tons of books are burnt in the squares of the cities of the Eastern Empire.

372 Valens orders the governor of Minor Asia to exterminate all the Hellenes and all documents of their wisdom.

373 New prohibition of all divination methods is issued. The term “pagan” (pagani, villagers, equivalent to the modern insult, “peasants”) is introduced by the Christians to demean non-believers.

375 The temple of Asclepius in Epidaurus, Greece, is closed down by the Christians.

380 On 27th February Christianity becomes the exclusive religion of the Roman Empire by an edict of the Emperor Flavius Theodosius, requiring that:

"All the various nations which are subject to our clemency and moderation should continue in the profession of that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter."

The non-Christians are called “loathsome, heretics, stupid and blind”.

In another edict, Theodosius calls “insane” those that do not believe to the Christian God and outlaws all disagreement with the Church dogmas.

Ambrosius, bishop of Milan, begins the destruction of pagan temples of his area. The Christian priests lead the hungry mob against the temple of goddess Demeter in Eleusis and try to lynch the hierophants Nestorius and Priskus. The 95 year old hierophant Nestorius ends the Eleusinian Mysteries and announces "the predominance of mental darkness over the human race."

381 At the Council of Constantinople the 'Holy Spirit' is declared 'Divine' (thus sanctioning a triune god). On 2nd May, Theodosius deprives of all their rights any Christians who return to the pagan religion. Throughout the Eastern Empire the pagan temples and libraries are looted or burned down. On 21st December, Theodosius outlaws visits to Hellenic temples.

In Constantinople, the Temple of Aphrodite is turned into a brothel and the temples of the Sun and Artemis to stables.

382 “Hellelujah” (“Glory to Yahweh”) is imposed in the Christian mass.

384 Theodosius orders the Praetorian Prefect Maternus Cynegius, a dedicated Christian, to cooperate with local bishops and destroy the temples of the pagans in Northern Greece and Minor Asia.

385 to 388 Prefect Maternus Cynegius, encouraged by his fanatic wife, and bishop 'Saint' Marcellus with his gangs, scour the countryside and sack and destroy hundreds of Hellenic temples, shrines and altars. Among others they destroy the temple of Edessa, the Cabeireion of Imbros, the temple of Zeus in Apamea, the temple of Apollo in Dydima and all the temples of Palmyra.

Thousands of innocent pagans from all sides of the empire suffer martyrdom in the notorious death camps of Skythopolis.

386 Theodosius outlaws the care of the sacked pagan temples.

388 Public talks on religious subjects are outlawed by Theodosius. The old orator Libanius sends his famous epistle “Pro Templis” to Theodosius with the hope that the few remaining Hellenic temples will be respected and spared.

389 to 390 All non-Christian calendars and dating-methods are outlawed. Hordes of fanatic hermits from the desert flood the cities of the Middle East and Egypt and destroy statues, altars, libraries and pagan temples, and lynch the pagans. Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, starts heavy persecutions against non-Christian peoples, turning the temple of Dionysius into a Christian church, burning down the Mithraeum of the city, destroying the temple of Zeus and burlesques the pagan priests before they are killed by stoning. The Christian mob profanes the cult images.

391 On 24th February, a new edict of Theodosius prohibits not only visits to pagan temples but also looking at the vandalised statues. New heavy persecutions occur all around the empire. In Alexandria, Egypt, pagans, led by the philosopher Olympius, revolt and after some street fights they lock themselves inside the fortified temple of the god Serapis (the Serapeion). After a violent siege, the Christians take over the building, demolish it, burn its famous library and profane the cult images.

392 On 8th November, Theodosius outlaws all the non-Christian rituals and names them “superstitions of the gentiles” (gentilicia superstitio). New full scale persecutions are ordered against pagans. The Mysteries of Samothrace are ended and the priests slaughtered. In Cyprus the local bishop “Saint” Epiphanius and “Saint” Tychon destroy almost all the temples of the island and exterminate thousands of non-Christians. The local Mysteries of goddess Aphrodite are ended. Theodosius’s edict declares:

“the ones that won’t obey pater Epiphanius have no right to keep living in that island.”

The pagans revolt against the Emperor and the Church in Petra, Aeropolis, Rafia, Gaza, Baalbek and other cities of the Middle East.

393 The Pythian Games, the Aktia Games and the Olympic Games are outlawed as part of the Hellenic “idolatry”. The Christians sack the temples of Olympia.

395 Two new edicts (22nd July and 7th August) cause new persecutions against pagans. Rufinus, the eunuch Prime Minister of Emperor Flavius Arcadius directs the hordes of baptised Goths (led by Alaric) to the country of the Hellenes.

@Vedaxcool, u giving examples of people who kill for different reasons, but not for christianity, it`s not the same thing as Muslims that claim to kill or fight for Allah as instructed in the Holy Koran.

and you think Al -Qaeda is fighting for Islam? you are a sour joke, Al -Qaeda long told america to stop interfering in internal affairs of Muslims countries, in essence it was a struggle for political power, not Islam, Hamas are fighting Isreal over the land they stole, Al - Shabab is fighting to rule Somalia, in essence power not Islam, Hezbollah are fighting over their land, in essence land not Islam is what they fighting for, but you may acquaint yourself with LRA - Lords Resistance Army, since you are apparently ignorant of everything, the after that go read about IRA vs the Protestant in Ireland, they again fought the Protestant over religious difference, and practising  .   .   . Slay them before me!

During an interview with IRIN, Vincent Otti was asked about the LRA's vision of an ideal government, to which he responded,

   "Lord’s Resistance Army is just the name of the movement, because we are fighting in the name of God. God is the one helping us in the bush. That’s why we created this name, Lord’s Resistance Army. And people always ask us, are we fighting for the [biblical] Ten Commandments of God. That is true – because the Ten Commandments of God is the constitution that God has given to the people of the world. All people. If you go to the constitution, nobody will accept people who steal, nobody could accept to go and take somebody’s wife, nobody could accept to innocently kill, or whatever. The Ten Commandments carries all this.
shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

LRA is Uganda based Rebel group!

Judek2:

Halt for some moment before you start blurting.
First of all,what is the aim of the website?
It is a place for muslims to learn about Islam and Christianity.The website was created due to many questions arising from many muslims about who they think Isa al Mashia is and about his teachings which differ from the Koran.
The website Index states
Muslims want the truth, and IsaalMasih.net provides it in a way they best understand it. Various teachers who love Muslims team together to give the answers to the questions Muslims ask.
To learn about Isa al Masih (Jesus), the Holy Scriptures, proofs from archaeology, creation.

Many Islamic scholers and Xtians team together to provide answers to questions many muslims who want the truth asks.
So now,is the website meant for xtians or muslims? I dont call my Jesus, Isa and my God, Allah.
Everything on the website is pure Islamic and it has passed many endorcements,

So my brother,stop the incurring attitude and read with the mind of your own and understanding,it will do you lots of good.

Liar! keep saying the same thing and Liar is what you get, Arab christian call God Allah, the website is fraudulent and typically missionary Garbage!
