And this is our dear Deb's answer

>My Answer : Omar al-farooq does not mean "Omar the redeamer" , Omar al-farooq means omar who can distinguish between good and evil.

... The word al-farooq in Arabic a language that you cannot read write or speak means THE REDEEMER aka the Christ and for this see Lisan al-3Arab. You can also read the late Suliman Bashear's ,who was an Arab, examination of the word al-farooq in his book "Arabs and others in early Islam" where he wrote that the title of Omar as al-farooq is: " this title must be seen as an islamic fossilization of a basically Jewish apocalyptic idea of the awaited messiah" Then he wrote; "omar as a redeemer was prophesised and awaited."

Then congratulations our dear Deb but Omar is your Jesus too!

As for your bogus: al-farooq means he who can distinguish between good and evil is bogus because the word should have been Omar al-mufariq (from the root FRQ) and not Omar al-farooq

You need to stick to Urdu

>"Al-farooq" was a title given to Omar al-khattab the second Caliph of Islam , the conqueror of Persian and Syrian empires for Islam.

Arabain imperialism is action

>You need to study some history books of those eras to find out the details. Have you herad something called "Omar's pact" ?

I can read it in Arabic something that you cannot do

>Calpih Omar is as historical as someone like Benjamin Franklin , Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.

Hello: There is no extant evidence that this chracter existed! Now i will give you a chance:

Where is your extant evidence that there was really a character by the name of Omar al-farooq? Remember I will be watching you making a fool of yourself again

>Bye the bye what is your evidence that there existed characters such as Benjamin Franklin , Thomas Jefferson or George Washington ?

Go to the Library of Congress!! and check their letters written be them and in some cases photos and extant epigraphy or do you think this was all made up like your bogus Islamic historical tradition but none of them wa al-farooq

>Anyway I do not expect too much of knowledge from an ... american like you.

The ignorant is you

>Another point , I was addressing this post to Esther . Who are you to tell me all these ?Only Esther can refute my points.

Tell you what? ....
