It is a wonderful source of brotherhood and equality. Under Islamic law, as a grateful payment for being allowed to live and be "protected," a Jewish or Christian dhimmi paid a special head tax and a special property tax, the edict for which came directly from the Koran: "Fight against those [Jews and Christians] who believe not in Allah ... until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low."
Omar, the caliph who succeeded Mohammed, delineated in his Charter of Omar the twelve laws under which a dhimmi, or non-Muslim, was allowed to exist as a "nonbeliever" among "believers." The Charter codified the conditions of life for Jews under Islam -- a life which was forfeited if the dhimmi broke this law. Among the restrictions of the Charter: Jews were forbidden to touch the Koran; forced to wear a distinctive (sometimes dark blue or black) habit with sash; compelled to wear a yellow piece of cloth as a badge (blue for Christians); not allowed to perform their religious practices in public; not allowed to own a horse, because horses were deemed noble; not permitted to drink wine in public; and required to bury their dead without letting their grief be heard by the Muslims.

It's sad that the Muslims and Islams are illiterated and nuts in their religious belief that love to murder, kill innocent people, behave them, wars, so on! They are full of hyprocrite because they worship God while they get angry over the little thing like some Europes printed the jokes in the newspaper, if you know what I'm talking about? Wake up, Islams and Muslims, get yourself well educated and get along with us instead of killing and attacking us. Let's live in harmony and peace!

The most successful swindle in human history. All the individual Muslims I know are nice people, but they got taken in by this bill of goods, and if they stopped to really analyze the religion, they would recognize that it is bogus.

it is a wonder why Christianity so believe that Jesus is a son of GOD...but rejected the smaller part of it that ALLAH SWT can make someone look like Christ.
Twilight Zone eh??
The Bible was never unholy...but it was corrupted.

I now DISLIKE even the THOUGHT of it and them !
Their Unholy book states;
"Not Jesus, but a look alike, was substituted and crucified at the Cross." -4:157
THIS IS BLASPHEMY - AND A LIE! No proof can be offered at all.

I said this even before.
Islam is like attraction to a girl/boy in you teenage, its not true love.
Once you know the reality, it is as boring as eating eating same bread and butter all your life.
The thing is that you will later know that it was not love but you were crazy.
