OK.....madame wendy hill.....you tried to protect your religion(christianity) to an extent that i felt like reading the holy Bible......after reading i noticed that the christians are doing the total opposite of what the Bible says.......correct moi if i am wrong............ it says in Matt "Not everyone who says to me ,'Lord , Lord' shall enter the kingdom of heaven ,but he who does the will of my Father in heaven"....it also says in Matt "think not that i come to destroy the law of the prophets : i have not come to destroy but to fulfill, for verily i say onto you till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law , till all be fulfilled"..........it also says in Matt 19:17 "why callest me thou good? there is none good but one, that is , God :but if thou enter into eternal life, keep the commandments".........from these we realise two thigns...1st - that Jesus never clamed divinity and 2nd - that works and following the commendements are nessasary to enter paradise......the first commandment given to moses in the old testament was "shama israelu,adonai la hayno , adonai ikhad" which means "hear o israel , our Lord , the God, is one Lord"....and yet you people beleive in the holy trinity!(what hypocrites)...... and the thing you said about the burkha system in the islam....i must remind you that in the old testament it says that a women who does not cover her head is despespecting the head and thus the head should be shaved off......if you look at you nuns they cover their heads and body and so the follow the Bible so what is wrong when the muslims follow the Qur'an and your Bible and wear the burkha??you don't wanna follow the Bible its your choice...i and most of the muslims wanna follow their scripture , its their choice! it reads in the old testament "thou shall not make onto thee any graven image,or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above , or that is in the earth beneath , or that is in the water under the earth"............but still the Catholics do idol worship! why???? we muslims thankfully do not do idol worship ! so see your holy Bible says that you need to do works and keep the commandments to enter eternal life...its such a surprise that the church denies it! may peace of the God Almighty be on you as it were with the Prophets.........
