Israel won't allow Arafat burial on Mount !

tomcat - could you rephrase that? I admit I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that the leaders who expressed concern are hypocritical? Or are you saying I'm hypocritical?

I am sorry. I am in no way say ing you are hypocritical, just the majortiy of world leaders are. If it came out wrong then I definately apologize.

he's not dead yet!! Wouldn't it be nice if they'd just co-operate? ahhh.....Utopia. Perhaps its a good time for Arafat to consider cremation & having his ashes secretly sprinkled over his desired place of rest.

tomcat - no no no, no apologies required, I just wanted to make sure I understood what you meant. It's quite alright.

Besides, I'm tired and my eyes are starting to cross... might account for me not being quick tonight. Need to go bed.

Actually, rereading what I wrote could be read the very way you read it. I also still want to thank you for your sentiments regarding my father.

When Arafat dies the last thing on peoples minds will be where to bury him.

verfed, I know that some believe that Allah isn't the god of Abraham, but according to the teachings of islam it is!!

www.brainyencyclopedia.com...

"Muslims believe that the name of Allah has existed since the time of Adam, since they believe their deity to be the same one worshipped by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and other prophets of Islam. According to Islam, Allah is the God of Abraham, and thus the Muslims claim to be followers of the same God of Judaism and Christianity."

now i understand that allah was the name of a moon god but if you look at the teachings of mohammed you will find that he means the god of abraham. Allah is but one of 99 words for god in islam and it is the most holy one.

During pagan times in mecca the moon god allah was married to the sun god. This is proof that the pagan allah and the allah that the qu'ran speaks of are quite different.

that's the simple truth, islam identifies allah as the same god as mohammed. Take your distorted mistruths back to FreeRepublic where they belong with the rest of the right-wing barbarians.
