Bob, of course I respect each person's belief, on this list.
And I am secure in my own belief, to the point that anyone ridiculing
me, has no impact whatsoever.
Speaking from my vantage point as an Agnostic, I can't understand the
need to have Jesus, the Son of God, born by a Virgin. In my lifetime
I've known many loving, caring, compassionate people who were born
"out of wedlock". Certainly they had no say in the matter. But for
generations, just because we listened to some old men's stories, we
were taught to believe that such people were inferior. So along comes
an extremely bright, thoughtful, loving man named Jesus. Rumors have
it that his father, Joseph, really isn't his father at all. Other
stories tell that Joseph lay with Mary prior to marrying her, and so
he was covering with this tale of an immaculate conception. And still
others said that Mary became pregnant outside of wedlock, and rather
than see her stoned to death, Joseph married her in order to save both
her and her unborn child. But the fact is that none of it matters at
all. Who cares how Jesus came to be. What matters are his teachings.
He spoke a great deal about the need to rid ourselves of our base
nature. By being direct, Jesus became an irritant, a thorn in the
side of the Roman government. So they murdered him, believing this
would be the end of the matter. As usual, violence did not solve
anything. But rather than learn from the behavior, we place Jesus on
a pedestal and worship him as the son of God. My reading, for what
it's worth, causes me to believe that Jesus saw all of us as children
of God, and in that, he was no different.

There are many Christians who discreditably exhibit terrible qualities to
the prophet peace and blessings be upon him. They purposefully asperse his
noble character with the wickedest of characteristics. They don't do that
based on their unconsciousness and unawareness, no no, absolutely not at
all. They rather are filled with tremendous antipathy to prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings be upon him, his decree and biography. I really would
love them to explain to me in the clearest of terms, the reasons by which
they espoused to disrespectfully maltreat the prophetic character in such a
contemptuous manner. I don't have a problem with people disbelieving in the
prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. I noted many people who decline
his prophethood and I never felt offended. What I consider quite disdainful
is their manner of deliberately attempting to demean his estimable
character, peace and blessings be upon him. This manner of intended
maltreatment is repetitious and it usually aims at offending us. For more
than once, they viciously drew disgraceful portraits of the prophet peace
and blessings be upon him, while aiming to spark a massive outrage from
Muslim masses. They recognise that such practices are sufficient to
instantly provoke our offence and thus, they do that to get us offended.
This hateful practice doesn't have anything to do with freedom of speech, it
surely doesn't. It is a unilateral policy and it doesn't extend to the Jews,
for instance. It is known worldwide that the Jews are the top proprietors of
major business enterprise in the United States. The country's prominent
population is Christian but the wealthy is frequently the Jew and
consequently, the Christian is expected to flatter the Jew. The belief that
Jews are held accountable for crucifying Jesus is less taught among
Christian fellow Americans and the reason is clear. They want to save their
temporal interests, economically, the Jew is the primary provider and
therefore, we must be decent and treat them respectfully. I noticed lots of
Christians in the United States refusing to say that the Jews were
responsible for Christ's Crucifixion despite the formerly solid belief. In
Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, the Jews were portrayed as cruel and the
toughest of people and particularly, in the Crucifixion's scene.
Consequently, the film producer earned a grave amount of criticism, labelled
with antisemitism at least. I quite comprehend the whole scenario. It has
nothing to do with the so-called freedom of expression. I previously asked
this question and all of you fled from answering. Well, I'll ask it again,
perhaps some of you may decide to be honest and brave this time. The
Holocaust is a strictly prohibited subject from public scrutiny and
criticism. Well, what about if an artist decided to ridicule the Holocaust
or its sacred chronicle? Would he be tolerated or, will he emphatically be
subjected to tremendous pressure to back off? I am a little bit skeptic
concerning the freedom of speech controversy. I should point out though that
the Talmudic literature contains the worst transcription about Jesus and his
mother. The Talmudic literature says that Jesus is procreated from
illegitimate relationship and thus, his mother is described as an
adulterous. However, the Noble Koran is the only sacred text on earth that
undoubtedly exculpated Mary's celibacy. This textbook which freed Mary from
the shame of guilt has numerously been subjected to veritably inappropriate
desecration by those who supposedly consider themselves Christ's followers.
Wow, bravo. The textbook which explicitly preserves Mary's innocence and
thus Christ purity, is deliberately profaned while the Talmud or the
ancient rabbinical writings are basically exempted despite the disgrace they
associate to Jesus and his mother due to political considerations. That's
hypocritical in the slightest. So the Christian fears the Jew because of his
eminent authority politically and economically. The Koran was burnt by a
Christian despite its explicit deference and distinctive reverence, speaking
of
Jesus and his mother. Southern evangelists are conspicuously
notorious of provoking blasphemy about Islam and its prophet, peace and
blessings be upon him. Nevertheless, Scottish Author and Historian, Thomas
Carlyle spoke the truth about prophet Muhammad and his remarkable legacy. He
said and I quote:
"It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islam is a
lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he
remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and
generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and
sincere.
Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind,
cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his
companions.
He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face
was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of
nights;
he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured
by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this". However, the battle is
expected to heighten. The Christian abnegation of Islam has nothing to do
with theological evidence or the lack of. They constantly seek refuge with
practicing deceit. They rely on deluding lay individuals of majorly hapless
nations. This is why, you will find Christian missionaries active in
countries like Rwanda, Uganda, Cambodia, Peru, Haiti and Philippines.
Furthermore, they work very well in Syrian refugee camps on Turkish borders
and beyond. As they do not have theological logic to convince educated
people, they prefer to work under the cover. They sell religion with
terrestrial provision. They like to sound peaceful, innocent and harmless.
They instead, like to counterfeitly accuse us of terror and violence. They
couldn't live without acting the victim role. A barrage of revelations and
court gambits over the last fourty eight hours has left President Donald
Trump and his shrinking legal team fighting an escalating battle. His
protagonists are witnessing a dreadful time. Some people attempt to
fallaciously misportray me as infelicitous and scattered. Well, I am stiffly
resolute and cocksure. My wedding is scheduled on April the seventh. It
doesn't mean I am baiting Jason of Baltimore I am unsatiated. Americanism is
intemperately infructuous. It is nearly the weekend here. I am having
breakfast tomorrow morning with one of my best friends. I am then going to
Friday service. I then will go visit my bride-to-be at her home. It'll be a
lot of fun. Well, fun in Muslim way not western one. So I am not happy eh? I
live the best moments of my life nowadays. But, I still wouldn't refrain
from baiting those who justly deserved to be baited. As I count down for my
big day, I must insure Christendom is castaway.
