WRONG!!!! Your answer is WRONG Richard

Submitted by Servant of Allah (United States), Jan 29, 2006 at 19:37

First of all you gave me over 90 "something". What is that!! I asked you for the 77 branches of faith, in the form of sentences that MAKES SENSE.

When you wrote this did you think it made any sense? It's not even in a sentence!! What does "Wishes", "Divorce"," Oppressions", "Partnership", "Eclipses", "Tricks" and all these other words mean when used alone. Are you kidding me!!

You said that "I have never been to some madrassa school (thank God)". Do you know what you just said? "Madrassa" means School in Arabic!! This means that you are saying that you had never been into school before (Oh my God). Is that what you meant?

On the other hand you missed a lot of them. You didn't write them in full sentence and details. You even wrote things that were never mentioned in the list of the 77 branches of faith. You didn't even mention the source. Should I call you a liar?

Sorry Richard, you just proved that we are talking about two different things. While you are talking about things I don't Believe in, I am trying to defend my own beliefs which you don't seem to know. Why should I read what you write anymore if it is full of lies and ignorance about the subject?

So write whatever you want because you are not offending anyone. Did you understand what I just said or just reading some "010100001011111", just like when you copied the stuff you posted as your answer to my question. But I am not going to call you a careless reader. Your love for your belief blinds you from reading well. Read what you just wrote and see if it makes sense.

If you failed to answer the question right, and indeed you did, this means that you don't have sufficient information about Muhammad so you could say anything about him. Prove me wrong and answer all the questions.

You said……… "The Holy Bible gives us a test to determine a true prophet from a false one: "But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, MUST BE PUT TO DEATH.' "

It was a nice gift from you explaining why the Christians where determined to kill the Prophet. Oh ... Peaceful Lord.

Did you hear that "Lisa"? Now God is asking his believers to start an Endless War on other religions, ha. Do you have a verse that tells you to incline to peace?
Oh, I forgot you don't know it exists in the Quran since you failed to answer the question.

And a final thing, haven't you asked yourself why Jews don't believe in what the New Testament brought by Jesus? Because they consider him one of the false prophets of which the Hebrew Bible warns about in "Deuteronomy 13"


Here are the 77 branches of faith that you DON'T know and failed to answer;
