it shocks me that there are people in this world who are truly convinced that Islam is the true religion? Answer this question for me: Have there been any miracles associated with the "God" that muslims pray to? All I hear about are the hundreds of miracles that have occured in the name of Christ, my personal savior. You guys refer to the people who convert to Islam but fail to mention the hundreds of thousands of cases of people who have found Christ and left Islam--- Simply because people are scared to tell their story, since Islam allows for their death if that happens! Now explain to me, how a religion that promotes that could be a peaceful religion?

Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was sinless when he walked the Earth, yet you choose to follow a prophet who married his adopted sons wife because he believed God asked him to, a prophet who married (among several others) a six year old child and had sex with her at the age of nine--- explain that please!!! Christ walked the Earth for 33 years and did nothing but speak of the Lord, of Love, of all good things-- and you believe he was simply a prophet. He could have so easily saved himself from being killed- but he chose to suffer and while doing so he looks up to God and says "Forgive them, for they know not what they do", referring to the very people who tortured him and were responsible for his death. Now you tell me he was just a prophet???

Matthew 24:11 "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many."
As predicted in the Holy Bible, which came long before the Koran- there will be false prophets and many will be misled by them.
The koran talks about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The Bible teaches that when a man strikes your left cheek, to offer him your right. So, which is clearly the peaceful religion?

Muslims discourage divorce and believe it is ok only when absolutely necessary, but a man and woman are officially divorced if a man says it to his wife three times. Why make something that shouldn't happen regularly, so easy to do?!?! All it takes is a man to say it three times!! God gave us all brains, do you not have any inch of common sense in you to realize how ridiculous some of these things are?And let's say a couple do get officially divorced, they can't be married again until the wife has married and divorced someone else? I'm sorry for being so blunt but that is absolutely ridiculous and I dont understand how such a faith has attracted as many as it has. But then again, that has been predicted in the Holy Bible.

The koran mentions that Christians believe in Three gods, this is absolutely false, one of the biggest misinterpretations about the faith... so why would a book "from God" spread information that isn't true?
