NEW...!!! L. A. Marzulli is the author of the Nephilim Trilogy. The Nephilim Trilogy made the CBA best sellers list and continues to thrill readers a decade after the first book in the series was published. Marzulli received an honorary doctorate from Pacific International University for his work on the Nephilim Trilogy.
Marzulli is also the author of the non fiction work, Politics, Prophecy & the Supernatural. The book packs a hard hitting expose of how the current political landscape may bring about ancient Biblical prophecies, which then may trigger supernatural events that are foretold in the book of Daniel and Revelation.

First of all, have you ever heard of Kurdish people?
Morocco? The tourist hotspots?
It was a generalisation towards those who seem predisposed to hate and using their religions as an excuse.
Well then we're not getting anywhere, since I am talking about specific matters. In those Islamic cultures including the one you experienced...how were people treated that wanted to change their religion? How were women treated? Did they have equal opportunities at life? How keen were people on revenge?
If it's any consolation, I've had similar discussions with muslims who think the same about christianity.
How do you know how I think? You just waved away all the social issues inside Islamic cultures that you shouldn't deny, and asserted you have similar discussions? Laughable attempt at an argument, dude.
You seem to be missing the point.

I also see you stopped after a 3. Why not continue on, huh?
I gave a example of a few and don't have time to tell all did you not read that sentence? You want me to point out where I did not have the time or you just conveniently just skipped it?
You want me to start off by showing the battles of Christianity? How many people were killed in WW2, none of which were caused by Muslims. Tell me about that?
What about WW1, What about Korea? What about Vietnam?
ALl those killings done by the Christian military of the USA and the christian armies of Nazi Germany. You really want to do some comparisons?edit on 023030p://6America/ChicagoThu, 07 Jun 2012 02:56:13 -0500 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)

Now ATS is not suppose to be a hate filled blog but, (there is that word) I have been studying the Quran and it is anything but a peaceful religion.
If you know me or my blogs I am against any type of murder - ANY - I am against war, hate, violence or the harming of another person.
BUT
Muslims are bound, according to their religion to kill any non believer: I will give quotes and a link however, anyone doubting my words go and pick up a Quran and read it.
It's a hateful book, one I think actually written by a man deluded and possessed by demonic or hateful entities.
Women and children (girls as young as ten) hung from cranes and if a virgin, raped the night before because you cannot hang a virgin. So to get around it they "marry" the virgin to a guard then hang her
Buried up to their chest and stoned to death.
These folks are barbaric and they come over here and pretend to be civil - but (there is that word again) Mosque going up all over.
I do not want my grand daughter wearing jeans cut short enough to show her cute little bum cheeks, but I do not want her in a black veil such as I saw at Walmart the other day walking like a slave behind her arrogant husband either.
They, the Muslim World is using our own "freedom of religion" clause against us.......and blacks that are Muslim, boy, you think the South held you as slaves, read up on how the Muslims really feel about blacks.....
This is not a hate blog, this is a anti hate blog and if we allow the Muslim World to silently invade our society they will eat us out from the inside out.
And who in the hell dreams of copulating with 72 virgins endlessly for murder/suicide????? That's gross. Child sex, that's wrong............they hide beneath veils because they hide a vileness. And the more I study the Quran the more scared I become.......beware, they are the serpent.
Quotes with source - you decide:
2.39. But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they shall be companions of the Fire; they shall abide therein.
2.161. Those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- on them is Allah.s curse, and the curse of angels, and of all mankind;
2.190. Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
2.191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
3.141. Allah's object also is to purge those that are true in Faith and to deprive of blessing Those that resist Faith.
3.151 Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!
3.157. And if ye are slain, or die, in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass.
4.34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
4.56. Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.
5.33. The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
5.38. As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.
Hey thanks for your comment. Just to let you know I don't hate muslims because I have met many kind ones myself BUT the religion of Islam itself is "corrupting" to say the least. To be honest I was not surprised to learn that the majority of the wars currently being fought are by extremist Islam. But yeah the Quran is a nasty piece of work indeed..

This "Islam is bad" "My religion is better than yours" Bs is tired and old, has been done to death here, and the ONLY reason you create this thread, instead of adding to one of the various other "hate islam" threads, is because you wanted to stirr the pot.

There is something not "normal" about this world we know, something the human race - in recorded history - has never experienced. Yet we go about our daily lives as if the Earth is ticking over as usual, as it did for our ancestors. Many read the tabloid press, watch the mainstream news, glue themselves to TV dross, comforted in the knowledge they are being told the truth about our existence here on this small globe of rock, sited in the outer rim of one of a myriad galaxies in the universe. Man, we are so small compared to the vastness of all this "space", easily felled like an ancient oak in a catastrophic storm. Small. yet powerful in thought and intent. A wondrous species, yet utterly weak against the natural cycles of moving time and space.
What's happening to our world? Increased seismic activity, more and more devastating earth changes as the months role on, Japan, New Zealand, Haiti earthquakes, increased risk of industrial disaster, rising, global social unrest. It seems we are living in an unprecedented era. World events nowadays, both natural and man made, would read like a science fiction novel to our grandparents. Yes, that is the extent of the accelerated earth changes we are witnessing, first hand, today

Not stirring the pot son, I'm just saying it like it is. If you find it hard to comprehend than by all means leave the thread. Also I have never heard Christians say "Christianity is the religion of peace", never. Only Islam feels the need to say that....

If religious people want to argue over who's is the best, why don't all of you true believers bugger off to the Antarctic and fight hand to hand to the death so us lovely peace loving Atheists can get on with drinking and fornicating without your constant gibbering nonesense.
'There is no such thing as "radical" Islam. In the Quran it actually states that Islam should wage war against all non-believers and that once a land falls to Islam
