The OIc cannot solve the problems in the muslim world .Turkey cannot solve the problems of huminaty by joining the E.U. Turkey will only benefit and ask the Europeons for help to the muslim world.

The rich arabs kings are looking at the own interest and will never solve the problems of muslim countries.

Basically the violence of muslims in the name of their religion is the cause of all the tormoil in the world to-day and it is just the beginning.

God Of the Bible & Allah of the Quran are not the same.
There is so much that is in the Quran that has been copied from the Bible, & there is so much from the Quran that has been copied from the Bible that has been changed to suit Islam. eg Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac in the Bible which is Fact, in the Quran Abraham was to sacrifice Ishmael which is false.

The Word we have in the form of the Bible is God's Word, He would protect it, & to have it knocked or riducled is those peoples word against God's.

Read the facts on Mohammed, he married an woman who used to be Catholic, thats also why Muslims think the version of the Trinity is God, Jesus & Mary. I have a copy of the Quran which I use to study, to help point out the errors to Muslims & others interested.

The Prophet(Peace be upon him) said: "Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face."

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The most perfect of the believers in faith is the best of them in moral excellence, and the best of you are the kindest of you to their wives.”

Aswad said, I asked A'isha, "What did the Prophet (peace be upon him) do when in his house? She said, he served his wife, meaning that he did work for his wife.(Bukhari)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "O my people! You have certain rights over your wives and so have your wives over you. They are the trust of Allah in your hands, So you must treat them with kindness." (Muslim)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The noblest charity is that a Muslim acquires some knowledge (of the Deen) then imparts it to a brother Muslim."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Paradise lies under the feet of the mother."

The Prophet of Allah said that" if a person has three daughters whom he provides for and brings up, Allah will surely reward him with paradise."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Do not glorify me in the same manner as the Christians glorify Jesus, son of Mary, but say,'He is a slave of Allah and His Messenger.' "

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "People will not sit remembering Allah without the angels surrounding them, mercy covering them, peace descending on them."

The Prophet(Peace be upon him) said: "The search of knowledge is an obligation laid on every Muslim"

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "He who goes out in search of knowledge is in Allah's path till he returns."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The major sins are associating other objects of worship with Allah, disobedience to parents, murder, and deliberate perjury."

The Prophet (peace be upon him): "He who is not trustworthy has no Faith, and he who does not keep his Covenant has no religion."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "None of you believes till I am dearer to him than his father, his child and all mankind."

Wrong question get No answer. You label Muslims with terrorism -out of your own ignorance and hate- and you want them to spend their time defending this false accusation!

But I want you to ask you a question about the core of your faith:

If Jesus was God...

then

why he prayed to

God !!?

"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God." (From the NIV Bible, Luke 6:12)
This is a very common question among critiques of Jesus' deity, Muslims included. The answer is found in understanding the Trinity and the incarnation of Jesus.
The Trinity is the doctrine that there is only one God in all existence. This one God exists as three persons: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are not three gods, but one God. Each is a separate person, yet each of them is, in essence, divine in nature.
A close analogy of the Trinity can be found by looking at the concept of time. Time is past, present, and future. There are three "aspects" or "parts" of time. This does not mean that there are three "times," but only one. Each is separate, in a sense, yet each shares the same nature, or essence. In a similar way, the Trinity is three separate persons who share the same nature.

The Incarnation

The doctrine of the incarnation in Christian teaching is that Jesus, who is the second person of the Trinity, added to himself human nature and became a man.
The Bible says that Jesus is God in flesh, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.....and the word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1, 14); and, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form" (Col. 2:9). Jesus, therefore, has two natures. He is both God and man.
Jesus is completely human, but He also has a divine nature.

GOD
MAN

He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9)
He is prayed to (Acts 7:59; 1 Cor. 1:2)
He was called God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8)
He was called Son of God (Mark 1:1)
He is sinless (1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15)
He knew all things (John 21:17)
He gives eternal life (John 20:28)
The fullness of deity dwells in Him (Col. 2:9)

MAN

He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9)
He is prayed to (Acts 7:59; 1 Cor. 1:2)
He was called God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8)
He was called Son of God (Mark 1:1)
He is sinless (1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15)
He knew all things (John 21:17)
He gives eternal life (John 20:28)
The fullness of deity dwells in Him (Col. 2:9)
He worshiped the Father (John 17)
He prayed to the Father (John 17:1)
He was called man (Mark 15:39; John 19:5).
He was called Son of Man (John 19:35-37)
He was tempted (Matt. 4:1)
He grew in wisdom (Luke 2:52)
He died (Rom. 5:8)
He has a body of flesh and bones (Luke 24:39)

As a man, Jesus needed to pray. When He was praying he was not praying to Himself, but to God the Father.

If Jesus was God ...

Then why he said:

[ Jn:17:3 ]-[ And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.]

This clearly states that Jesus has been sent (as a messenger) from the ONLY TRUE GOD. This shows that Jesus IS NOT GOD (unless you want to believe your own blind faith no matter what).

You obviously did not read my post.
Jesus was man as we all know, limited & restricted for His time on earth. He was tempted as a man, ate as a man, lived & died as a man.

Can you answer my questions now please?
1. The Qur'an says "To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward" (Surah 5:9).
A. Question: Are you doing enough good deeds to receive salvation on the Day of Judgment?
B. Question: Are you doing all you can or are you relaxing in your dedication to Allah?
2. The Qur'an says, "O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things," (66:8-9). Notice how it says if you are sincere you may receive forgiveness.
A. Question: How do you know you are sincere enough to be forgiven of Allah?
B. Question: Does it give you peace to know that even if you are very sincere that at best, you may receive forgiveness?
C. Question: If you say that you know you are sincere enough in your repentance before Allah, how do you know you are not deceiving yourself?
D. Question: Is your heart really good enough to muster enough sincerity before a Holy and Righteous God?
E. Question: If you say yes, I honestly and humbly ask you, "Are you being prideful?"
F. Question: If you say you are not being prideful, then are you boasting in your sincerity?
3. In Christianity, Jesus is God in flesh who paid for our sins on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). Because of that, we Christians are secure in Him and do not have to worry about doing enough good works to please God since we are saved by grace through faith in Him,(Eph. 2:8-9).
A. Question: Why should we Christians give up our guarantee of salvation in Jesus for the requirements of your Qur'anic law when you yourselves don't even know if you have done enough good deeds to be saved on the Day of Judgment?
4. The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:16) and that He loves all people (Matt. 5:43-48; John 3:16). The Qur'an never says that "God is love." In fact, the Qur'an says that Allah does not love unbelievers (2:98; 3:32).
A. Question: If Allah does not love unbelievers, can you say that Allah is love, especially if the Qur'an does not say it?
B. Question: If you say yes, that Allah is love, then why does he only love the Muslims and not all people?
C. Question: If you say Allah is love, is he more loving than the God of the Bible who loves all people?
5. In the Bible, Jesus said in John 15:13, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." In Christianity, the greatest act of love is performed by God Himself -- since Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9). Jesus is the one who fulfilled His own words on this. He laid His life down for us.
A. Question: What is the greatest act of love performed by Allah?
B. Question: If what Jesus said is true, then hasn't someone besides Allah performed the greatest act of love?
C. Question: Why do you, as a Muslim, want me to give up such a great love performed by God Himself (from a Christian perspective) for your belief in Allah who only loves people if they are Muslims?

6. Islam teaches that the Holy Spirit is Gabriel. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit lives in the Christians.
A. Question: If the angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit, how can he dwell in us?(Note: According to the Nestle Aland Greek New Testament Textual Apparatus, there are no textual variations any of the following biblical references. They are recorded and transmitted to us accurately.)
i. "Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you," (2 Tim. 1:14, NASB).
ii. "Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3:16, NASB).
7. Lying is okay?
A. Question: Was Muhammad wrong for advocating lying? Is Lying okay? "Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him [Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf]?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it," (Hadith Vol. 5, Book 59,#369).
B. Question: Who is more holy, Allah or Yahweh?
C. In the above quote from the hadith, Muhammad advocated lying. The Christian God would never approve of lying. Does the god of Islam approve of lying? If not, then wasn't Muhammad wrong? If he was not wrong, then Allah approves of lying. Which God is more holy? The God of Christianity is far more holy.

8. The Qur'an states that you shall marry only up to four women: "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or that which your right hands possess..." (4:3).
A. If the Qur'an is eternal, having been written on the table in heaven, then the four wife limit was an eternal decree.
B. Question: Why did Muhammad have 12 wives if the Qur'an says to have only four? Khadija, sawda, Aesah (8 years old), Omm Salama, Hafsa, Zaynab (originally the wife of Muhammad's adopted son), Jowayriya, Omm Habiba, Safiya, Maymuna, Fatima, Hend, Asma (of Saba), Zaynab, Habla, Asma?
9. The Qur'an says that Allah created the heavens and earth in six days. "Your Guardian Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days..." (7:54) See also, 10:3.
A. 41:9 - "Say: Is it that ye deny him who created the earth in two days..."
i. Question: Which should we believe, the Bible or the Qur'an? The Bible says God created the earth in one day, the xth day (xxx).
B. 41:10 - "He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measured therein its sustenance in four days..."
i. Question: Does 41:10 included the 2 days of 41:9 above? If so, why does 41:9 say God created the earth in two days, but 41:10 says that God measured its sustenance in four days? They are different occurrences.
C. 41:11 - "Then he turned to the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: he said to it and to the earth:'Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly..."
D. 41:12 - "So he completed them as seven firmaments in two days, and he assigned to heaven its duty and command..."
E. Question: the two days of 41:9 plus the four days of 41:10 and the 2 days of 41:12 equals eight days of creation, not six. Why is that?

10. It is a commonly held belief among Muslims that Muhammad was sinless.
A. If Muhammad was sinless, then why does the Qur'an state: "Patiently, then, persevere: for the promise of Allah is true: and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and celebrate the praises of they Lord in the evening and the morning." (40:55).
i. Pickthall translates 40:55 thus: "Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And ask forgiveness of thy sin, and hymn the praise of thy Lord at fall of night and in the early hours."
B. The Hadith says, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying." By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day." Volume 8, Book 75, Number 319, Narrated Abu Huraira:
C. Question: If it is the common belief that Muhammad was sinless, why do the Qur'an and Hadith contradict that notion? Which is correct?
11. The Qur'an says to have no divisions within Islam. "The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the [sic] which we have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which we enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them..." (42:13).
A. Question: If Islam is the truth, which of the divisions within it is the "most" true?
B. Question: Is the muslim religion as a whole in error since there are divisions within its ranks?
12. The Qur'an says, "And dispute ye not with the People of the Book [Jews and Christians and the Bible], except in the best way, unless it be with those of them who do wrong but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you," (29:46).
A. Question: Isn't the Qur'an here saying that the Muslim is to believe what the Bible says?

I look forward to your answers...

"Say (O Muhammad) "He is Allah,(the) One.
Allah-us-Samad (Allah The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need,(He neither eats nor drinks)).
He begets not, nor was He begotten.
And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." [Quran 112:1-4].

"But as for my part,(I believe) that He is Allah, my Lord and none shall I associate as partner with my Lord." [Quran 18:38].

"And He is Allah; La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). All praises and thanks are for Him (both) in the first (i.e. in this world) and in the last (i.e. in the Hereafter). And for Him is the Decision, and to Him shall you (all) be returned." [Quran 28:70].

"He is Allah, besides Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
He is Allah besides Whom La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme.
Glory be to Allah!(High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him.
He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms.
To Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." [Quran 59:22-24].
