>In the Bible, God promises Abraham that his believing descendants would inherit the promised land, from the brook of Egypt to Euphrates.

I meant that it confirms Islam is correct since it has inherited those lands

It just says "The hour drew nearer, and the moon splitteth". It doesn't say when it happened or will happen.

The spoken word and poetry is a better form of expression than images or music, since it requires no training or investment. Music and images require an aristocratic communism of wealth, which doesnt last long. literature like the Quran and the Bible outlasted the idols

>>15255495
Fully authentic hadith have multiple lines of transmission. One line of transmission can mean someone lied or made a mistake.

>>15255351
The Hadith vary in authenticity (you'll easily find some that contradict each other for example).

>>15254724
Flies carry bacteria on the surface and naturally antibiotics and antibodies within themselves. The full hadith says the disease is first and the cure is last. If anything it seeded the idea that disease has a microscopic cause, smaller than a flywing

Also Chapter 9 is only talking about specific enemies. I just mentioned the jewish thing because it nullifies a violent interpretation anyway. (Judaism started eternal war)

"The Jews said Ezra is the Son of God".9:30

"They took their scholars and priests as Lords beside God" (specific)

9:29 most literal meaning is only People of the Book (Christians and Jews) that dont believe in God and the Last Day. Which is an oxymoron unless its talking about warring Christians and Jews
E.g. the later mentioned scholars and monks taking peoples wealth

The Jews religion commands them to kill all goyim in the Levant, while they inhabit the whole earth. How's that Islam's fault?

>>15249662
Camels dont produce water, only salts. Some bedouins mix it with milk, if they are about to die from losing salts through sweating. Its only for people who arent used to that environment, likely the same kind who consume waste-eating Swine, so it wouldnt bother them.

>>15249628
The Quran is explicitly peaceful - except some can choose to interpret 9:5 (or 9:29) as cancelling out mere self-defence. However, it doesnt matter because the Hebrew Bible says that Jews would encompass the Earth, and instructs them to kill the whole Levant. Therefore, the world begun its war against Muslims first, and self-defense is paramount. Of course, we have to be judicious against the most salient invaders.

>The temple mentioned in Ezekiel.
By third temple I mean a short hand for the end times.

The Bible says there would be pilgrimage and sacrifice until the end times,

>>15248882
Muslims read the Quran aloud at prayer, how could they conceal it from anyone.

>>15248451
The Bible does mention that pilgrimage and sacrifice would continue even after the Second Temple was destroyed, yet no Third Temple until the endtimes. Muslims are the only ones carrying out the will of god thus.

Moses and his followers also lived in the Arab desert using the The Ark of the Covenant as a substitute for the Temple, similar custom.

(Interestingly, Greek Historians also mention an Ancient temple in the region revealed by all Arabians)

Acts 21
The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present. 1


They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs. 22 What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, 23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow. 24 Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that You yourself are living in obedience to the Law. 25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.”

James and Paul contradicted each other on the matter of the Law, for Hebrews

>>15248328
Remember Shakespeare wrote for the average audience, so any complexities are just different use of a word or vague reference that was just known then. Even the idioms of today would sound sophisticated, though they appear in common usage: "False flag", "Conspiracy theory", "Bipartisanship" etc.

>>15248269
James accepted Paul only if he instructed Hebrews to keep the Law of Moses (Acts 21, Epistle of James).

The Law was never binding on Gentiles, who both James and Paul agreed just had to abstain from blood and pagan meats, immo

"And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of God. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know." Quran 9:6

"So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, God loves the righteous" Quran 9:7

>the other half of the world
The Bible says Jews would live all over the world, and their religion instructs them to kill 'Amalekites, Edomites, Canaanites etc.' (I.e. Muslims). So it confirms the world has some conspiracy against us anyway.

>Last point
Degeneracy incurs disease and thus depends on Communistic government. Liberty would allow Degeneracy to destroy itself. Everything abnormal is destructive and removes itself.

Read the "Israel Lobby" by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt

Bin Laden (lol) -
"The Israeli lobby in America. The details of that are explained by two of your fellow citizens. They are John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt in their book The Israel Lobby in the United States.

After reading the suggested books, you will know the truth and you will be severely shocked at the magnitude of deception that has been practiced against you. You will also know that those who make statements from inside the White House today and claim that your wars against us are necessary for your security are in fact working along the same line of Cheney and Bush, and propagating the former policies of intimidation to market the interests of the relevant major corporations, at the expense of your blood and economy. Those in fact are the ones who are imposing wars on you, not the mujahidin. We are just defending our right to liberate our land.

If you thoroughly consider your situation, you will know that the White House is occupied by pressure groups. You should have made efforts to liberate it rather than fight to liberate Iraq, as Bush claimed. The White House leader, under such circumstances, and regardless of who he is, is like a train driver who cannot but travel on the railways designed by these pressure groups. Otherwise, his way would be blocked and he would fear that his destiny would be like that of former President Kennedy and his brother.

It is time to free yourselves from fear and intellectual terrorism being practiced against you by the neoconservatives and the Israeli lobby"

Acts 21
When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters received us warmly. 18 The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present. 19 Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

20 When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law. 21 They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs. 22 What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, 23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow. 24 Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law. 25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.”

26 The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them"

And its clear later on that Paul disavowed the Law, thus contradicinting James' instruction

No, the Quran and Authenticated Hadith are the only authority, and God is the only perfect authority.

Anyway, its hard to consolidate Muslim study because of Zionist sanctions

>>15247608
The Quran instructs Muslims to read the former scriptures as confirmation (which would include any apocryphal works, which themselves include virtually all historical and intellectual information).

The Bible also instructs to test any Prophets if their prophecies come true, which would require comprehensive understanding of their works

>>15247676
St James expelled Paul from Jerusalem

>>15246806
Islam is the true Church. The original followers were called Nazoreans and had the Gospel of the Nazoreans, which was revived by Islam.
