Whats the "rapture"?

One must do more than JUST believe. Even SATAN believes. That is not to deny the need to believe; but be careful in taking one scripture out of context and contend that it explains the whole picture. SATAN also quoted scripture, in order to tempt Jesus. Consider who is being spoken to, and why, etc. Jesus often said, "It is ALSO written." How about "Obey my commandments"?

A Civil Rights Issue?

Golly! --Why do so many Americans discriminate against Muslims in America, whose holy book is the Koran?

So what, if Jews and Christians are the hated enemy of Muslims according to the Koran?

Following, are a few samplings from the Koran:

“Unbelievers are those who declare Allah is the Messiah, the Son of Mary.” (The Table 5:17 )

“The unbelievers among the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.” ( The Proof 98: 6-7 )

“Make war on them (Christians and Jews) until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme.” (The Spoils 8:37-41).

“When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters (Christians and Jews) wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” (Repentance 9:4-7).

“Believers, make war on the infidels (Christians and Jews) who dwell around you.” (Repentance 9:122-125 ).

“Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends…whosoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number.” ( The Table 5:50-51 )

“Make war…” (Repentance 9:14 )

“If any one thinks that Allah will not give victory to His apostle in this world and in the world to come, let him tie a rope to the ceiling of his house and hang himself.” ( Pilgrimage 22:11-16 ).

“Fighting is obligatory for you,” (The Cow 2:216 ).
