What do you think about: Isaiah preaching NAKED, Elijah being SUICIDAL, Solomon that had 700 WIVES and 300 CONCUBINES, Samson killing Fillistines coz they answerd his riddle and Moses that killed out of ANGER?

Muhammad was the perfect apostle created by God... that's why he is called "Ahsan Ul-Akhlaq".
But if u r a muslim u shouldn't make fun of all the other prophets.... i don't think that isaiah preached naked... maybe thr ppl after him modified the bible to their wishes and made it that way

I think you are confusing two separate issues here. Firstly if you want to pick an argument over ancient 'sacred' texts all written long long ago, you will find that there are some decidedly 'dodgy' people in all of them, The Koran and the Bible included.

What I think you are referring to in a rather round-about way, is people who are anti Muslim. Being anti anything so general is silly, because it involves mass stereotyping.

Most people simply judge by experience and by here-say. Lets face it, stoning embassies and carrying pro-bombing signs, harassing women who walk down the street (not mentioning any specific London streets here!) and even demanding silly sexual stuff over the Internet (go to a chat room and see who most of the silly prats who do this are) is sadly the most that westerners will ever get to hear about or from Muslims. It's sad, but true. If you guys want to get a better international image, the decent people need to try and work on it a bit harder so you are not judged so negatively by the actions of some.

I think ppl need to stop judging people who lived thousands of years ago by twenty first century standards. If it wsa accepted by the standards of thier time, I see nothing wrong it. I'm sure they are many things that we do that they find equally abhorent. And who is to say they are not right, or, we, are not right for that matter. After all, not everything was perfect in the "good old days" and not every new thing is sign of progress. It may very well be regressive.
Oh by the way, you do know that ALL the prophets you have so callously critisised are Prophets of Islam?
In short, keep an open mind.
Stop bullsh*ting about other peoples religions and faith.

I am not a muslim basher and i am aswering the question because one important point is being missed. They are all lessons from the past that Christians and Jews and even muslims should learm from.

These acts should not be emulated but be reminders of people of this present times, men who had already stepped on the moon. These people are not perfect and they get angry just like us but their acts are theirs and theirs alone. Even Jesus got angry that He destroyed the properties of those who were making the place of worship a marketplace. If ever they have to answer for such acts, they have to answer it before God Almighty. I cannot judge them and you cannot judge them. So what difference does it really make if it is in the Bible. Does it really make us lesser people?

Isaiah, Elijah, Solomon, Samson and many other heros of the bible believed and put their faith in the ONE and only Living God. God is the God of love and this love is what makes Him different.

David committed adultery and murder, Noah got drunk, Rahab was a prostitute etc etc etc. The thing that makes all these people different to mohammad is they had faith and God counted this "faith" as righteousness.

Put your faith in Him, ask Him for forgiveness for all your sin, repent and you can be considered as righteous by God too!

Where did you get this stuff? If you say the Bible...then you misunderstand or can't comprehend or just miss the point of the lesson being taught or don't know the old law was different.
If you want, go ahead and follow Koran, become a terrorist and kill innocent people.

Marriage to Isaac

Rebecca at the Well, by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta

According to the Midrash, Rebeccah was 3 years old when Abraham sent his loyal servant Eliezer to his family's homeland in Aram-Naharayim to find a wife for Isaac. The story of how Eliezer determines who would be a good wife for Isaac has been held up as a model for what to look for in a shidduch (Jewish marriage match). When Eliezer and his traveling companions arrive at the outskirts of town, Eliezer makes his camels kneel beside the well where the daughters of the townspeople come to draw water for their families. Then he prays to God, "Let it be that the girl to whom I will say, 'Please tip over your jug so I can drink,' will say, 'Drink, and I will also water your camels,' that is the one You have designated for Your servant, for Isaac..." (Genesis 24:14).

I am not a Muhammad basher by any means.

What this list of people from the bible tells me is that God can even use the hopeless ones to achieve great things.

Which gives people like me great confidence that, despite myself, God can do great things through me.

i do no longer think of we've a good looking to have our ideals respected. the place did that concept come from? Is it basically "political correctness"? we've a good looking to have self belief as we wish and voice those ideals. we are no longer certain appreciate for our ideals. interior the US, we are shielded from PERSECUTION with the aid of our ideals. yet disrespect isn't persecution. Imprisonment, execution, financial desctruction...those are examples of persecution.
