'All variants of Muslim worship "the same God" too, you know. Amazingly enough, it appears to be the same one that Christians (of all persuasions) recognize.

such blind ignorance Pericles. Or is it more deceit?

no doubt more excuses for beheading 82 year old woman in London my a recent Islamic convert. The thrid in London in six months. three cheers for Islamic immigration

You're talking about the murder of Palmira Silva, I can't find any articles identifying the killer as a Muslim convert, it sounds like he was mentally ill and flipped out for some reason.

Nup. Just reality, runner.

>>such blind ignorance Pericles. Or is it more deceit?<<

I am well aware that extremist Christians reject the notion that their God is the same one identified by both Muslims and Jews, and of the reams of horrified apologetics on the topic with which the internet is flooded. But the only visible difference in Christianity is the position of Jesus, not of God, in their patterns of worship.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan disagrees with you, by the way (Are you in a similar position to speak on behalf of your religion? I thought not). This is what happened last year in New York, when he spoke to a gathering that included Muslims:

"There he met with Muslims and other faith leaders. He told them, 'I thank God that this day has arrived. I thank you for your welcome, I thank you for making me feel like a friend and a member of a family.' Then he made this statement: 'You love God, we love God and he is the same God.'"

This kind of admission does not go down too well with those who would prefer to hate, and create religious warfare on behalf of their own particular view of God.

But it does have a certain ring of honesty about it, don't you think.

Pericles,

Regardless of what Cardinal Dolan said the God of the majority of Christians is different to the God of Islam and of Judaism.

The Christian God is a Trinity of three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; nowhere in the Old Testament or in the Koran does such a concept of Three Persons in one God exist.
Both Jews and Muslims repudiate such an idea, in Christianity Christ is God, in Islam he is another prophet and in Judaism a criminal.

Further more in Christianity, Mary is the mother of God, in Islam, she is Miriam, mother of a prophet and is as nothing in Judaism.

So all due respect to Cardinal Tim but he was speaking politically.

'But it does have a certain ring of honesty about it, don't you think. '

Not really Pericles just allows 'regeressives 'like yourself to find someone backing your narrative rather than facing the truth.

In many countries of the world, massive mosques are being built with petro-dollars from Middle Eastern countries. Some are being built in communities with a very small number of Muslims. The point however, is not to provide a prayer house for the locals, but to make a statement to the nation about the inevitable victory of Islam over the forces of the West.

For example, Murfreesboro, a city in the heart of Rutherford County Tennessee, USA. Rutherford County, has just over 100,000 residents. There are only 200 to 300 Muslim families living in the country. So who is paying for this massive compound? How many millions of dollars will “45 active members” be coming up with – and where is all this money coming from and why is it so big?

Why is it that after 9/11, mosque construction in America has nearly doubled, when Muslims make up just 1% of the population. The “Ground Zero” mosque, already part opened, is massive in spite of strong anti-mosque public opinion. It will be larger than the Marseille mega mosque, the Murfreesboro mega mosque and the London mega mosque.


At its current size the Stockholm mega mosque had already managed to feature sermons in support of Islamic terrorism and serve as a recruitment centre for Al-Qaeda. In yet another common pattern of mega mosques, the Stockholm mega mosque was funded primarily by Sheikh Zayed, the ruler of the United Arab Emirates. The Cologne mega mosque was primarily funded by Turkey’s Islamist government.

The Copenhagen mega mosque with a capacity of 3,000 which is being financed by Iran. Iran has already constructed another mega mosque in Helsinki and has similar plans all across Europe and the world. The Sunnis are getting their own Copenhagen mega mosque funded by Saudi Arabia. This will involve an architectural “mountain” across from the University of Copenhagen topped by two minarets, transforming the Sunni-Shiite rivalry into a competition to create the biggest Islamist monolith
