Allah is an arabian spook ,imaginery like casper 'the friendly ghost' or Alladin's jinn. Quran was written by the barbaric hordes of arabs to be one better than the other two 'monotheists' jews and christians. A mix of an intolelant despotic spook with an equally despotic and criminal founder of that spook ,Muhamad the fake self-proclaimed prophet,you can expect only lunacy and incoherence in their "scriptures".

It is the truth that will set you free, and not contradictions. Where is the truth if you see many contradictions? Certainly not in Islam, the religion of 72 contradictory sects. One of the 99 titles of Allah is: "The Best Deceiver." It's too bad that Muslims don't get it. I hope soon they will see the light and see that it is they who have been deceived by The Best Deceiver, i.e., Allah, the god of the Muslims. Besides being "The Best Deceiver" and god of the Muslims, Allah is also the god of torture, the god of Female Genital Mutilation, the god of legalized adultery, the god of polygamy, the god of legalized brothels, the god of legalized rape, the god of slavery, the god of ligalized wife beating, the god of Honor Killing, the god of Muslim chauvinists, the god of brutality.

If a criminal makes a statement,he is easily detected by his contradictions of the same story.Same is the case with Mohammad.Islam is nearer to Hinduism than the Jewish or Christian faith.Hence V.B.V is nearer to Mohammad than Moses or Jesus.Has he seriosly ever studied the Ten Commandments give by God to Moses or the teaching of Christ in earnest.He writes in the English language well.Thanks to the Christian school,he attended,but his thinking still remains poisoness like a Muslim,althogh the Muslims still respect the Jewish prophets.By the way Christ was Jewish.But V.B.V is an ignorant Scum bag,who will remain so till he dies.He is a hopeless case and a disgrace for Hindus,some of whom I have met are quite decent.Islam has no real connection with Judeo-Christian faith like Hinduism.Hidus worship many gods,some are lifeless and some are animals.The Muslims worship the pre-Islamic Moon - god Allah.That is one reason you see the Crescent on every Mosque.Both Hidus and Muslims are pagan,because they worship pagan gods.

People are treating Islam like a bastard child; everyone is trying to prove that it got nothing to do with their religion and belief systems. But I think that this cult of the barbarians cannot grow and seed itself without taking bad ideas and conditions from somewhere else. Earth is not an isolated System, so information travel everywhere around the globe, unfortunately founder of Islam only absorbed bad ideas from everywhere because it can provide wealth and prosperity in the physical dimension which can be more tempting than morality for rag tag hungry camel herders. In simple words Islam is the shit hole where all major religions and groups have relieved themselves of the poisons in there religion and belief system. All of us have contributed to this pile of shit and thus its responsibility for all of us to clean it up. We should not be ashamed of what ideas Muslims have taken from us to fight against us, in fact we should acknowledge if there any loop holes and try to fix them. Food is taken by choice but shit happens, it’s the natural metabolism of life on earth we cannot stop it but at least we can make sure that we clean up the shit and make it fertilizer for crops of tomorrow. People should try to see Islam as an experiment where name of GOD is being used as a tool for selfish, greed and lust motivated Global dominance, observe it, learn from it and try to improve on any shortcomings of your own. I think at one point all non Muslims can agree and that is we don’t want to be like them, so work for it, make sure you don’t have same misguidance and superstitions and rigidity like them. I WILL BE BACK!!

muslims always justifies the errors and contradictions in quran by claiming bad translation . the truth is quran in arabic is more absurd and meaningless . muslims have improved the meanings of quran in the translated versions to make it more acceptable and suitable to the western culture

To the lowest scumbag and filthy idiot balam. Muhamad is closest to christianity. Both have the same spooky despotic ,narcissistic spook called Yahweh/Allah. Both have common descent . Muslims claim their ancestry to Ismael , a whoreson of another whoreson Abraham.That idiot Muhamad traces his genealogy to Abraham. Both have the same idiotic story of creation with Adam and Eve. Both ar intolerant: one wants 'crusades' and the other 'jihads'. Both have the same patriarchs: Moses/Moosa; Jacob/Yakoob; Joseph/Yusuf;Mary/Mariam; Aaron/Haroon; etc.We in hinduism do not have any of those bullshits! Christianity and islam are two sides of the same coin. Both are super-bigoted, hate-mongering, destroying civilisations, commiting massacres, practicing slavery, committing genocides(like in the Americas and Australia, by christians),usurping others lands and raping and looting and plundering everywhere. Well, with such affinity between you two I wonder why so much of badblood between you two? May be you are vindicating another bullshit from the Bible:the story of Caine and Abel!Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Islam purposely used Biblical stories, grossly distorted, and Biblical patriarchs to attain a sense of divine authenticity for its own agenda of deception. Nowhere in the Koran is even a passing mention of the Ten Commandments, the core belief of Judaism/Christianity or the command of Jesus to love your neighbor or even your enemy. In fact its eternal command by its supposedly holy prophet Muhammad is to slaughter the Jews and the Christians. Jesus foretold the coming of the Anti-Christ, whose personality is the exact opposite of His(Jesus) loving and merciful character. To personally experience the difference between Judaism/Christianity vis-a-vis Islam, go to a Christian/Jewish neighborhood FIRST and condemn Judaism/Christianity to your heart's desire and go next to a Muslim neighborhood and do likewise condemn Islam.

I share your views but not entirely. My intemperate language wa only addressed to a nutcase who calls himself 'balam' or baloney!I do have respect for Jesus as a preacher who broke away from the hate cult of the books of Genesis, Deutronomy, Numbersetc..that is the first three or four books of the Old Testament and ushered in some humane values such as Love, compassion for all creatures etc which are there in Budhism , Jainism, Hinduism, and other Eastern religions. But what I get put off is the exclusivity of the so called christians who arrogate to themselves the authority to declare all Eastern religions as pagan,deficient, 'Devil-worshipping', a sure ticket to 'Hell', heathens,etc. The hindu generally has no biases against any religion or cult and he respects any 'holy man'. In India you have hundreds of Christian shrines and 'argas' of muslims sufis etc which are visited and venerated by thousands of hindus without leaving their faith. But a mslim and a christian will have none of it , and are bent on debunking and denigrating the indegenous beliefs and want to 'convert' the natives to islam or christianity. This is certainly not acceptable at all. Christians in India as arethe muslims prospering and no hindu has anything against it but when it comes to the fraudulents means to convert the hindus , sporadics incidents of violence do take place sometimes. The mischief is mainly by western evangelical christians and other preachers totally insensitive to local sentiments. I hope you understand my perspective.Thank you.

People are people. Paul McCartney (former Beatle) sings, " We all know that people are the same wherever you go. There is good and bad and in everyone. Learn to live, learn to give each other what we need to survive together alive". Mr. vbv there are bad Christians just as there are good. Please understand that the Book of Deuteronomy and Numbers were written in a violent period of ancient Israel's history when peace was almost non-existent and constant warfare with its hostile neighbors ( the same is true today with hostile Islamic neighbors) was the rule of the day, thus the presence of violent passages. Please don't condemn ALL Christians rather exposed those who are corrupt. The Bible says there will be wolves (bad people) disguised as sheeps (Christians) to deceive the unwary. We are all here in search of the truth and I hope we both AGREE to DISAGREE, meaning we are free to question our statements, arguments, or beliefs. A healthy argument is a sign of maturity. Thank you also and have a nice day.
