8/15/05 - Got a comment from someone regarding my references to this entry. I do not have any references exept that it has been forwarded to me numerous times since 9/11. I do not know the original author. I posted this because it is informative and educational. It is not my intention to offend anyone of a different faith, but I will not justify or be made to defend my own beliefs. This is my blog and if you do not like what I write or post....tough! This is America, Land of the Free...and the home of the !st Amendment.
But, in all fairness, I have done some research and found that everything in this text is true except the "Koran 9:11". The whole verse is completely made up, and it actually isn't in the Koran at all.
The Koran is broken down into chapters called Surahs, and Surah 9 AL-TAWBA (REPENTANCE, DISPENSATION) reads as follows:
009.011
YUSUFALI: But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity they are your brethern in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.
PICKTHAL: But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethern in reglion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.
SHAKIR: But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethern in faith and We make the communicatiosn clear for a people who know.
So...my apologies for offending any one of the Islam faith.

Got this in my email from my Mom today. I think I've read it before, but I really read it this time. Know what I mean? Thought you might be interested too...
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.
<FONTCOLOR=BLACK>
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq!
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
8. Jona preached in Nineveh- which is in Iraq.
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
10. Amos cried out in Iraq!
11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!)
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon, saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
17. The wise men were from Iraq.
18. Peter preached in Iraq .
19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!
And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon Land, Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name, Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.
And also...This is something to think about since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
Note the verse number!Hmmmmmmm?!
God Bless you all Amen!
