Thread Name: BS: Is it correct?
Subject: RE: BS: Is it correct?
I have a great friend who is a muslim and follows the teachings of the Prophet closly. he owns his own business and the only person ever to rip him off was a religious teacher of Islam.
I own a copy of the Holy Koran and I have never found any thing therin that suports religious intolerance, in fact it is the opposite.
Whilst Mohammed was alive and preaching the word of the Lord as passed down to him a then Pope heard about it and sent a priest to find out what this man was saying.
The priest met Mohammed and they talked when the priest wanted to pray he asked Mohammed if he could have a private room for his devotions, Mohammed replied "my mosque is there for prayer-We both are praying to the same god in our own way".
It is also a fact that the Virgin Mary appears more times in the Koran than in the Bible.
It is an unfortunate fact that religion is twisted by men for their own ends whatever their creed.
