Do we really need to be lectured to about islam and there holidays, we arent interested in anything islam related, the only thing we want to know about islam is when are the people who follow it heading back to allah land and staying there, you can go there and spend your days worshipping the black rock. To those who are interested in readin more about the religion of peace and getting educated go to www.jihadwatch.org

Satan likes sacrifices so muslims are doing what he tells them to do.

Who's "we," idiot - the United Knuckledraggers Association? Speak for your ignorant self, why don't you? If worshipping a black rock strikes you as ridiculous because no one ever explained what "symbolism" is to you, try and imagine how idiotic it must look to a Muslim with the same intellectual shortcomings when you worship a dead body hanging from a cross.

And meanwhile, a joyous Eid to all my friends of the Islamic faith.

Wow, this innocuous little article sure flushed the ignoramuses out from under their rocks and trailers, didn't it? I guess Satan must have told Abraham to sacrifice that ram, eh? And >ahem<, pardon me but what pray tell is the symbolic significance of the term "Lamb of God?" Well, you sure are lucky to belong to a faith with no sacrifices going in.

Moron.

looks like the liberals have you brainwashed into the "all belief and cultural systems are equal" mindset. I hope they build a mosk one side of your house and a halal butchers on the other.

Looks like someone is a bit hot under the collar ...

And here is some interesting titbits ...

History
Known around 0 CE as Macoraba, and was an important trade and religious centre.
630: Comes under control of Muhammad, and purged it of all traces of non-Muslim religion.
1269: Comes under control of the Egyptian Mamluks.
1517: Passes to the Ottoman Empire.
1925: Comes under control of King Ibn Sa'ud.
1979 November 21: On the first day of the 15th Islamic century, a group of 300 students from the Theological University of Medina take control over the Holy Mosque of Mecca. They keep control for two weeks, when 63 are captured alive and the mosque is recovered. All occupants are executed.
1987 July 31: Riot by Iranian pilgrims. More than 400 people die.
1989 July 9: Two bombs kill 1 person. Shi'is of Kuwait are accused, and 16 are executed.
1990 July 2: Stampede lead to 1402 people dead.
1994: A stampede kills 400 people.
1997 April 15: Fire kills 340 people.
2004 January: Some of the heaviest security measures are imposed on this year's hajj, largely due to unstable security in the rest of Saudi Arabia.
2004 February 1: Stampede kills 244 people
2006 January 13: More than 345 pilgrims dies in a stampede near the Jamrat Complex in Mina.

So also in their 'holy' place Muslims are killed ... Stampede .. sounds like a cattle run.

Oh and here is some other info:

The following are not obliged to perform hajj: Those who are mentally ill, slaves, women without travelling companions (like close relative or husband) and people without the necessary funds.

Notice the word Slave....

I will repeat what the only sane person on this forum has said: a joyous Eid to all my friends of the Islamic faith.

September 11, 2001.

What do you do in rememberance of that day?

All attackers strongly professed and lived within your Islamic faith. Something just doesn't sound right about your faith.

What tenents of your faith did the 911 terrorists violate?

[mesiry loves me]

i'm in no mood to discuss islamics and equelization of relegions , been there done that ..., its hopeless with you people..

but as for the word slave , its probebly cause islam is anciant , and at the time , slaverry was still acknowledged as a way of treatment though islam resents it and encourages for people to give those "slaves" freedom whenever they could...

[Hello]

and its not like there wasnt any slavery in america like 70 -80 or whatever years ago..
its a low side of humanity ,white people made slaves out of black people in variouse ancient sevolizations over history..so why relate it to islam specifically?

Islam is a religion, white people is a race, not a religion.

Hope that helps with your analysis.
