It is your opinion, and you are, of course, entitled to it.<br /><br />As I said in a different thread: <br /><br /><b>"In time, in our lifetimes or not, we are going to find out exactly who was right about certain matters that we've disputed over."</b><br /><br />And you know what? I hope with all my heart that Islam is an innocuous as you claim it is, that Islam has been hijacked by radicals. At this point, I do not believe that such is the case. That does not mean that I treat Muslims horribly in any way.<br /><br />Discussion closed now.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-69650622600108146412012-04-13T12:45:43.140-05:002012-04-13T12:45:43.140-05:00AOW,

Simply put, AOW, I will continue to point out remarks that are not based on facts or that avoid context. Your blog is simply riddled with it. <br /><br />I care not about your views on American politics and as I am neither American nor living there my views are from an outsider. Having said that, it is obvous that anything with the word Obama automatically gets anything and everything thrown at it and equally so your view even from the Conservative side represents a noisy minority that ultimately will have no say (or part?) in America's future. <br /><br />We all have our rights to a view point and that is not questioned at all, but you put it in a forum then you deserve to suffer being exposed.<br /><br />Damien CharlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-59818890402144302112012-04-13T07:24:09.497-05:002012-04-13T07:24:09.497-05:00Brooke,

I thought your a teacher?<br /><br />A great deal of the problem, confusion, ignornace here is that this is lost in translation and bad interpetations. If you want to try and comment on Islam then you have to do a bit more study then just reading Spencer's profiteering excercises. In fact Spencer is the last person you should bother to try and find anything about Islam on.<br /><br />Try for a start the word "Muslim". It is both a noun and an adjective, thus a follower of Islam is a Muslim but by definition any follower of the Abrahamic God is also a Muslim.<br /><br />Thus, if you understand this basic Islam 101, try looking back at all the comments above and they look rather silly - rather like the much of the list on this blog.<br /><br />D CharlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-11268419885773024452012-04-06T06:42:18.509-05:002012-04-06T06:42:18.509-05:00Wildstar,

Lots going on here on the home front.<br /><br /><i>And sheesh, what is it with Islam stealing other religions?</i><br /><br />Plagiarism!<br /><br />You know, various people have no problem asserting that Judaism borrowed from ancient pagan religions (Not that I believe so. Just sayin'.) But these same people will not admit just how much Mohammed plagiarized from Judaism and Christianity.<br /><br />Besides the obvious plagiarism, I see this appropriating of information as proof that, in his heart, Mohammed knew that the religion he was trying to design was false.<br /><br />BTW, Robert Spencer has a new book coming out: <i>Did Muhammad Exist?: An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins</i>. See <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=robert+spencer+did+muhammad+exist&sprefix=robert+spencer%2Caps%2C270" rel="nofollow">THIS</a>.

Can't they at least try to be original or make sense? And how can anyone try and defend Islam... the whole thing is riddled with holes in logic as well as many things which betray "common" sense!<br /><br />As for ducky, I know a guy online- goes by the name Mordred- who is Catholic as well and is a liberal and evolutionist.

Fulton records that the Austrians found evidence both of God’s slaying of the firstborn and the sudden departure of Israel from Goshen:<br /><br />‘The Tenth Plague to be sent on Egypt just before the Exodus was the plague on the first-born, recorded in Exodus 12:29,30. At the end of stratum G/l at Tell ed-Daba or the ancient city of Avaris (p.293), archaeologists found shallow burial pits into which the victims of some terrible disaster had been thrown. These death pits were not carefully organized internments; the bodies were simply thrown in on top of one another. Could these be the burial pits of the first-born Egyptians? What is more, immediately after this disaster, the remaining population left Avaris en masse; this fits perfectly with the Exodus of the Israelites following the final terrible plague.’<br /><br />Manetho, the Egyptian historian wrote how Egypt collapsed in the reign of Dudimose:<br /><br />‘Tutimaos: In his reign, for what cause I know not, a blast of God smote us; and unexpectedly, from the regions of the East, invaders of obscure race marched in confidence of victory against our land (Egypt). By main force they easily seized it without striking a blow and having overpowered the rulers of the land, they then burned our cities ruthlessly, razed to the ground the temples of the gods and treated all our natives with cruel hostility, massacring some and leading into slavery the wives and children of others.’<br /><br />The invaders were the Amalekites Israel encountered after leaving Egypt. They found Egypt, devastated by Divine judgment an easy prey.<br /><br />‘The continuing archaeological discoveries’ says Fulton, ‘here in the ancient city of Avaris mirror exactly the early Israelites revealed in the Old Testament. For two centuries no evidence was found for the Israelites when looking in the strata of the 19th Dynasty. Now that the chronologies have begun to be amended and the sojourn in Egypt placed in the 12th and 13th Dynasties, we have a wealth of archaeological evidence corroborating the Biblical account.’</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.bibleandscience.com/archaeology/exodus.htm" rel="nofollow">TWO</a>:<br /><br /><i>It seems most likely that Joseph rose to power during the time of the Hyksos, or just before in the 12th Dynasty when many Asiatics came into Egypt. It also seems most likely that the Exodus from Egypt should be equated with the expulsion of the Hyksos. Not all the Hyksos were Israelites. It says in Exodus that a great mixed multitude came out of Egypt with Moses (Exodus 12:38).</i><br /><br />I'm not vouching for the above sources but am leaving the information in this comment.<br /><br />---------------<br /><br />Of course, the topic of this post is not the veracity of the Biblical account but rather the <b>INSANITY</b> of the screamer in the video. Islam didn't come along until many, many centuries after the Israelites were in the Land of Goshen in Egypt!
