  1. In other words:

    America is like the Roman Empire in its military and hegemonic dominance of the world.

    Europe is like ancient Athens the centre of cultural and intellectual life.

    Islam is the last of the Abrahamic religions and is thus the heir to Jerusalem.

      Hahaha, only Cerbie, you silly Christian zombie mutt. Muhammad (pbuh) wasn’t white, and slavery was a face of life in ancient times, and your god’s ancestor Isaac married his wife when she was around 10 years old. Your Canaanite god even allowed coercive sex with concubines.

    • …Muhammad (peace be upon him) was an Arab, so being called “white” would not mean he was literally a white man (like Europeans or Americans). As for the ahadith that Chick referred to prove that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a white man, he is simply misinterpreting the meaning. This tends to happen when Christian apologists blindly parrot each other in repeating nonsensical polemics without bothering to do the research. In the hadith, the phrase translated as “this white man” uses the word “الأبْيَضُ” (“abyad”).[38] According to Lane’s “Arabic-English Lexicon”, “abyad” can mean “white” or “having whiteness”.[39] However, it also states:

      “[a]pplied to a man…it was sometimes used to signify white in complexion…”

      Further, it could also be used to refer to a man as “…pure; free from faults”. But further still, it was used in lexicons and “other post-classical works” as meaning “white; or fair in complexion”.

      So when applied to an Arab man like Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it was actually signifying his white complexion. This is demonstrated in other ahadith which described him as having a “white complexion”:

      “Abu Juhaifa reported: I saw Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) that he had white complexion and had some white hair, and Hasan b. ‘Ali resembled him.”[40]

      Not only did he have a “white complexion”, but the complexion was also described as “slightly reddish”.[41] He was described as “neither absolutely white nor deep brown”.[42] So, the conclusion is that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not literally a white man, and no serious scholar has ever described him as such. For example, Watt described him simply as having a “fair” complexion.[43]

      As for the claim that he owned black slaves, this was obviously an attempt to characterize him as a racist slave owner like American or European white slave owners. But the reality was that he did not exclusively own black slaves. He also had Arab slaves. Slavery was a fact of life in the ancient world, but it was not as if only blacks were made into slaves and not Arabs, or vice versa. Moreover, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was clearly against racism, as he made clear in his famous “Farewell Sermon”:

      “[a]ll mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety (taqwa) and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.”[44]

      Furthermore, in another famous hadith, Muhammad (peace be upon him) reprimanded the companion Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who was an Arab, for reproaching Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), who was an Abyssinian and the first muezzin of Islam, by saying “oh son of a black woman” while they were having an argument. In other words, Abu Dharr got angry at Bilal and denigrated his ethnicity in the heat of the moment. When he heard what Abu Dharr had said, Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

      “[h]ave you reproached Bilal about his mother? By the one who revealed the Book to Muhammad, none is better than another except by righteous deeds. You have none but an insignificant amount.””[45]

    • Incidentally, it seems that beloved Biblical figures such as Isaac (peace be upon him) also had wives much younger than themselves. Though there is disagreement, the age of Rebecca at the time of her marriage to the forty-year old Isaac is thought to be between 10 and 14 years, and even as young as three! According to the Jewish Encyclopedia:

      “[t]he Rabbis disagree as to the age of Rebekah at the time of her marriage to Isaac. The statement of the Seder ‘Olam Rabbah (i.) and Gen. R. (lvii. 1) that Abraham was informed of Rebekah’s birth when he ascended Mount Moriah for the ‘Aḳedah, is interpreted by some as meaning that Rebekah was born at that time, and that consequently she was only three years old at the time of her marriage. Other rabbis, however, conclude from calculations that she was fourteen years old, and that therefore she was born eleven years before the ‘Aḳedah, both numbers being found in different manuscripts of the Seder ‘Olam Rabbah (comp. Tos. to Yeb. 61b). The “Sefer ha-Yashar” (section “Ḥayye Sarah,” p. 38a, Leghorn, 1870) gives Rebekah’s age at her marriage as ten years” (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/12610-rebekah).

      Hahahahaha, yes talk about desperation! No real answer, as usual from our zombie dog Cerbie.

      There was no reason for the rabbis to make up Rebekkah’s age. The fact is that it was very common in antiquity. Get over it already.

      Brown’s scholarly view is the mainstream and majority view among NT scholars. Again, get over it.

      Hey, I’m glad to see you have no real response to any of the issues I humiliated you on!

      While we’re at it, how old were the little girls whom Moses allowed the Israelite soldiers to take for themselves?

    • Hey Cerbie, your Canaanite god upheld Moses’ ruling and commanded that every soldier receive his share of the “spoils”:

      “The Lord said to Moses, 26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured. 27 Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community. 28 From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the Lord one out of every five hundred, whether people, cattle, donkeys or sheep. 29 Take this tribute from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as the Lord’s part. 30 From the Israelites’ half, select one out of every fifty, whether people, cattle, donkeys, sheep or other animals.”

      “The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.”

      There is not one peep of condemnation from your god for dividing up the little girls. In fact, your god commanded it. So, now that we have exposed your lies, answer the question. How old were these little girls? There is no need to “guess”. The information is there. Historical precedent is there. You have all the help you need to answer the question. And while you are at it, tell me how old Rebekkah was. There’s a good boy…

You commit it often and Allah will punish you severely for it. Where did Allah command mo to murder the Jews. Where did Allah command mo to rob thecaravans? Where did Allah command mo to rape a child? You can’t defend a man by appeal to god. Islam won’t allow that. But we all know most Muslims worship muhammad anyway. You’re a case in point.

      As I said, guessing games don’t prove much. How old was Aisha when mo raped her? 9. It’s in your sources. Stop trying to defend such sinful horrible actions by appealing to guesses.

  2. This reminds me one of the interpretation for Daniel 7 (the 4 beasts) by a muslim. I don’t adopt it, but it’s very interesting!

    We know that christians try to avoid the historical fact about Islam which has been fulfilled according to Daniel 2. Christians try to avoid that by mingling and mixing Daniel 2 with Daniel 7.
    However, we know that Daniel 7 was more than clear that these beasts will come out from ( the Great Sea). Therefore, it’s impossible and nonsense to interpret these beasts as Babylon or Persia.

    The interpretation of Daniel 7, if it’s authentic account transmitted from the prophet Daniel, seems to refer to the far future. In other words, it refers to our time. The muslim guy interprets these 4 beasts as the colonial empires that have invaded the saints’ lands ( the Islamic lands). These beasts are as the following:

    1) The Lion= The British empire.
    2) The bear = Russia
    3) The leopard with four heads = the 4 Catholic invaders which are : France, Spain, Portugal,and Italy.
    4) The terrifying and frightening fourth beast with Iron teeth = U.S.A.
