    Peace, Insightful article for those unaware of the blatant ripoff that is modern day Christianity. Some of the comparisons have been refuted, stating that the evidence for such things appear after the birth of Christ and that it was pagans that copied it, not the other way around. I have also read that some Christians see that these past stories are just a reflection of what was to happen in the future with Christ's birth. In other words, some Christians use this evidence to further support their beliefs. Similarly many aspects of modern day Islam incorporates it as well, such as the virgin birth of Jesus and other miracles. Sadly, I do not think people can easily separate the fantasy from Islam and treat it as a purely logical way of life. Peace

    I don't think so. Findings in Gobekli Tepe site are very important but I don't believe that there is a link for Ad and Samood. Samood is the most counted early civilization in Quran. Their most significant properties are carved stone buildings in a valley. This is very important clue, but not sufficient for revealing this civilization this date. Probably, there is something missed or wrong in our current archeological base.

    There is a lot of controversial history about Alexander the great. And like Nun De Plume mentioned, the bad things could very well be Hadith. Allah knows best. But contrary to popular belief. Alexander was not a nationalist, or a pagan. As certain historical documents mention him believing in one God. For all we know Zeus was a name used for God. we have to understand what is known as paganism today, was a bastardization of a truth that once exists. For instance in Greek legend they speek of the Flood of Noah, and that Zeus told him to build an ark. For all we know zeus was the name of God by the ancient Greeks, and then graven images were made, sons daughters ascribes to him. Much of the greek Gods have their origin in sumeria which can easily be linked to biblical kings, angels, and God. Allah knows best. But Alexander was considered very just. Also was considered some of the most inteligent of all of his people. he was a military war hero and tactician since a child. his first battle victory was at 13 I believe, and He was concerned more with being educated than fighting like the others. And while his people were to busy being tribal moron, He united all the tribes, forged an empire, in his early 20's. He was merciful to many of the people he conquered. Persia for instance, it is said after conquering Persia he let the Queen and princesses remain and enjoy their life. He did not rape murder and pillage as is led to believe. He married women from amongst other nations. He was not concerned with tribalism and nationalism. He defied most odds of men in history. Allah knows best but I would consider that Allah showered many blessings on the man. He was definately ahead of his time. I cant find the link so if anyone has seen this maybe they can link me, but sopposedly these things were said by Alexander. Hardly something a pagan would do. Allah knows best as the truth of history. But as is known the wall built by Cyrus was already destroyed by the time of Muhammad pbuh, so than it would make no sense, as the Quranic ayat indicate the wall was not yet collapsed. God knows best. Alexander the Great ? after conquering many kingdoms ? was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and he was bedridden for months. With death drawing close, Alexander realized how his conquests ? his great army ? his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no use to him now. He called all his generals and said ? I will depart from the world soon. But I have three wishes. Please fulfill my wishes without fail. With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their King?s last wishes My First Desire is that ? said Alexander ? my Physicians alone must carry my coffin. Secondly ? when my coffin is being carried to the grave ? the path leading to the graveyard should be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury. My Third and Last wish is that both my hands should be kept dangling out of my coffin. The people that had gathered there wondered at the King?s strange wishes. But no one dared to question; Alexander?s favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. O King ? we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes? At this Alexander took a deep breath and said ? I would like the World to know of Three Lessons I have just learnt. I want my Physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no Doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of Death. So let not people take life for granted. The Second Wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that that not even a fraction of gold can be taken by me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth. And about my Third Wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin ? I want people to know that I came empty handed into this world ? and empty handed I go out of this world. Alexander?s last words ? Bury my body ? do not build any monument for me ? keep my hands outside so that the world knows the person who conquered the world had nothing in his hands when dying?? peace
  • Neanderthal Amongst Us: We Inter Breed With Them!

    Unless you're an african, the neanderthal are actually "OUR ANCESTOR".. There's Neanderthal's gene in you if you're a non-africans. They're no longer our 'relatives' since no living pure Neanderthal lived nowadays.. Our ancestors had successfully F&*#ed them as thus 'they' become 'us' now.. They might be 'more ape like' but hell.. who knows perhaps the so-called Adam and Eve are more 'ape like' than them.. And perhaps 50.000 years from now, our great grand children will say that we are more 'ape like' compared to them.. Human evolution is still a continuing process.. Salam / Peace Israeli archaeologists have discovered human remains dating from 400,000 years ago, challenging conventional wisdom that Homo sapiens originated in Africa, the leader of excavations in Israel said on Tuesday. Avi Gopher, of Tel Aviv University's Institute of Archaeology, said testing of stalagmites, stalactites and other material found in a cave east of Tel Aviv indicates that eight teeth uncovered there could be the earliest traces so far of our species. "Our cave was used for a period of about 250,000 years -- from about 400,000 years ago to about 200,000 years ago," he told AFP. "The teeth are scattered through the layers of the cave, some in the deeper part, that is to say from 400,000 years and through all kinds of other layers that can be up to 200,000 years. The oldest are 400,000 years old", he added." That calls into question the widely held view that Africa was the birthplace of modern man, said Gopher, who headed the dig at Qesem Cave. "It is accepted at the moment that the earliest Homo sapiens that we know is in east Africa and is 200,000 years old, or a little less. We don't know of anywhere else where anyone claims to have an earlier Homo sapiens," he said. Gopher said the first teeth were discovered in 2006 but he and his team waited until they had several samples, then conducted years of testing, using a variety of dating methods, before publishing their findings. Digging continues at the cave, the university said, with researchers hoping to "uncover additional finds that will enable them to confirm the findings published up to now and to enhance our understanding of the evolution of mankind, and especially the appearance of modern man."

  • The Mongol Decline, a lesson from Ain Jalut

    See how the Christian nations and the West are totally behind the dominant force of our times, the Jews and Zionists, but remember when the Mongols were trying to conquer the world, and with arrogance of their might were defeated by a small army, the Muslims in 1260, at ain Jaluth, outnumbered 151, at the spring of Goliath. And then for 7 hundred years the Middle East was peaceful, until the Masons come back, and divided the land in a destructive way so that there would be no peace, after the 2nd World War, all Christians are are dogs, it is what they choose to serve, the ones with the money, whereas the cats always rule, not these pigs who pretend to be cats, like the monarchs of Britain, but the cats know the Kingdom of God, and surrender to His will, rather than try to conquer the world. Only Peace can surrender the globe, submission to God alone, those who live by the sword will die by it. What you know What you observe What you learn What you trust What you serve What you love It becomes ironic and apparant that when they write on money 'in God we trust', do they trust in God, or in money? Do they serve God and are kind or serve the tyrants and are cruel? Do they love God or love the Prophet? The Pope has been an enemy of God and peace, yet you support him before your Lord, when you have no basis for your claim, other than conjecture. When the Mongols had conqueredee Poland, and Damascus fell, the Christians crusaders, were hoping the Mongols won, so that the Muhammadans, sorry brothers but the kalima is la ellaha ellallah, and you should not add others to it, then you are no longer Muslims but Muhammadans, would lose Jerusalem. The Pope denied the Muslims help and support, and to this day has been a staunch enemy of Islam. But now time has come again, we defeated the Christians, we defeated the Mongols, and by the will of God will defeat the Jews,but we take no pride in the matter, Glory be to God, with every prostration, and bowing, just my Lord strengthen our faiths, so that we do not fall astray and fail to realise the inevitability of the Day of Judgement, and let us be devoted to the Truth, God is the Truth. The Jews are cowards, they barricade themselves in, because they cannot fight, and arm themselves with nuclear weapons, and say play our game, play our game, if the world turns against them they will start a nuclear war, that is their plan, but they may have seduced the people of the world to their lies, but God the Lord of the heavens and the earth, is on the side of those who submit. See what happen to them when they went into Lebanon, they were so badly defeated, they retreated, they couldn't even take on Hezbollah. Like children, who do not understand language, instead of trying to define what is being said, they repeart everything the other person said, instead of learning right from wrong, they mimick the authority onto others, so throughout their road to enlightenment, and their disobedience, they now play god with the Palestinians, degrading them to monkeys, in a science experiment. What happened to your road to enlightenment, instead you wish to promote your roadmap. You are Pharoahs, you do not belong in the Kingdom of God. With you Amens, worshipping Egyptian gods, corrupting the Peace with idolatry, you serve the ego, rather than kill the ego. And as for the dogs, the Christians they serve the people, games and sports, forgetting their Lord. as for the pigs, the idol worshippers from the Far East, they serve the devil, rather than denounce the devil. Allahu Ackbar Peace A Submitter The Cats do no fight for the sake of sadism, and finding answers in violence, they know you need to strive in the cause of God, rather than take up others as protectors onto God, or kill in the name of vanity, the cat is appreciative, the dog is loyal, the pig is greedy, the monkey is clever,

    Jafar, Thats great thougts, yes, i think idolatory(as you said extreme dependency of anything) increases one ego and ego is bad. God wants us to go in a middle path(a liberal view) not go to the extreme sides, i think the middle path leads us to seek knowledge and in other words we will be guided if we are going in the middle path.

    Salam, God gives us knowledege of science bit by bit from time to time. The science can give us clue to the truth. In the internet, there are some belongings of the Prophet Muhammad shown, such as his turban, clothing, sword, teeth and hair. It's not we don't simply reject the truth, but at least some scientific testing or forencic science to test those belongings, at least we knew the nature of the DNA. The DNA, should give us some idea of the region where it comes from. jedi They took out Muhammad's teeth???? o For what??? An amulet????

    Unfortunately, most sectarian Muslims have already made this grave mistake, even to the extent of placing him as a partner beside God and making him an intercessor for all of humanity... Such a shame, I suppose some of those people will probably start talking about a trinity and make the same big mistake of leaving God for a human
