...exactly who's "side" was "he/she/it" on when Mohammed Atta flew into the Twin towers? Does god PICK sides?
God certainly doesn't intervene to stop a disaster!

In English, the word "God" is used. The word god is also used in Arabic but the significance of using the name "Allah" is that "Allah" literally means "the one God" so it confirms the oneness of God.
Allah (God) does everything for a reason any these reasons are not always within our intelligence. Things happen all the time, good and bad and God is in complete control of everything. Some things are tests from God, some are warnings, some are gifts, some are punishments, some are blessings, and so on. We do not know what God (Allah) knows so nobody here can possibly answer the question as to why God (Allah) allowed something to happen.
I hope this answers your questions.
to Adelaide: You are very confused, that is not what Islam is about, go to www.islamreligion.com to learn about Islam. Make sure you check your sources next time and make sure that they are correct before spreading falsehoods.

First of all, there were no sides to choose from. This was a small group of people who made a decision to end the lives of many. God did not put those people on a plane and He certainly did not plot for this to happen. Sept. 11 was chosen to be the date to hit the twin towers BECAUSE of the religious implications. According to many theologists, Christian and Jewish leaders, it is believed that Sept. 11 is the same date for 13 major events in history, from the Jews being cast out of Egypt, to Christ's Birth, to the fall of Jerusalem and the killing of the disciples, to the banishment of Christians from Rome, to the exile of Jews in Europe and the Holocaust.
The terrorists responsible want to attack both faiths at the same time and be a mark in history as the next event.
When the plan was attacked, the towers were not to have fallen, just set a blaze, but the extremists celebrated when they found out that thousands have died.
Knowing this, do you really believe that either My God, or Allah wanted this? God protected the survivors and was there for those who did not survive.
Frankly I am tired of hearing God getting the blame for man's and/ or The Enemies actions.
Oh and BTW, they are not the same.

To name a thing is to be master over it. This is why God is refered to as God, Because that is what he is. Allah is a named god of islam. If the word allah means God then please, in english use the english word. If however this is a name then it is an offense since man is not worthy to name God or to know that name much less to use it. Therefore if allah is the islam name for God then we do not refer to the same idea of God and therefore I cannot comment further on whom they may or may not be worshipping.

To Ms. Adelaide: You shouldn't be answering questions that you know nothing about! We, Muslims, do not worship the moon God! We worship the God of the Jews and the Christians! Every Muslim must have 6 beliefs in order to be called a Muslim:
belief in the Oneness of God,
belief in the Prophets (Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Lot, Jacob, Joseph, Jonah, to name a few),
belief in the revealed books (including the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran),
belief in the angels,
belief in Judgement Day,
and belief in Devine Predestination.
So, do not accuse of a sin that is worse in Islam than any other sin - we call it shirk - in English it means taking any other God than the God of our prophets - from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them).

lets consider tsunami..
a normal man will say. oh God is too cruel. He made ppl to death in tsunami
but i've a Question ..... which life is more Satisfactory .. a eternal life.. or life of this earth .. where we spend hardly 60-70 years.
once we get heaven... then we who cares for this life..
actually this life is a test.. for us all.. tsunami was the sign from God..
that we are doing.. sins......... we are not worshipping God. in a right way.. we should spread peace.. we should shun all our sins...
we should try to learn.. the moral values. to help each other.. nor to destroy each other..
who knows.. ppl who died in Tsunami got.. Heaven or Hell..
May Be Allah swt has decided heaven. for those who died in such disaster. .. then what is better for them.. this earth.. whr we are dying with hunger.. we are become animals.. like we are killing each other.. for some bugs..?
you mentioned about twin towers.. its still asumption . .that Muslims.. did.. this but still no one .. even you may Ask .. US governement.. they still not sure.. who did.. this..
many ppl say bush did. this..
many ppl says.. Jewish did this.
you are getting news against Islam.. is because.. western government knew.. that Islam is complete way of life.. not just religion..
if we implement Islam. these ministers.. blah blah .. will not be able. to put cash in their pockets only.....
its just.. a monopoly to malign Islam..
you might have heard twin towers news on BBC or CNN ..
most of them are western channels. not Muslim's Channels..
if you check the survey report .. you'll find .. after 9/11 many ppl . converted to Islam.. although our enemies have tried their best to malign Islam. but Allah is best planner...
HE turned. .the table...
:)
anyway . HOpe it will help you ..
may Allah swt guides you towards right path and enlighten your heart with the light of Islam..

There is only ONE god and the fake prophet pervert adulterer paedofil murderer mohammed is NOT his prohpet. God would not want anything to do with someone like mohammed who has sex with a 9 year old. Who has sex with a woman the same night he has murdered the legal husband.

The Muslims worship the Lunar God which is pagan.
They don't believe in God the same way as Christians or Jewish do.
They believe in the moon God and thinks that God and Heaven are in the moon.
I'm a Christian and we believe in the one true God who said that he is a jealous God and we are not to worship false Gods or commit idolatry.
He created everything,everything was created by him.
Muhammed got the Qua'ran from the Torah and the Holy Bible.
He wanted to conquer the entire world but could not afford to fund a military.
So he decided he would be sucessful if he began a religion and commanded his religious followers to conquer the world for the religious beliefs set forth by their Allah.
He took the Bible and the Torah and used both as a guide to write his own version of the two and distorted it and twisted it to suit his purpose.
If you want check this out http://www.thereligionofpeace.com
to learn more about Islam which in english means Submit.
Satan wants more than anything to be worshiped as a God and to be God and will stop at nothing to fool people into worshiping him thinking they are worshiping God.
He blinds them and leads them into hell through lies,manipulation,deceit and depravity.
Almost everything in the Qua'ran is similar to the bible but just reversed.It is the opposite of the bible.Just like darkness is the opposite of light.
So please don't confuse the one true God with the one that the Muslims worship.
If you want to learn more about the two check out 'Anti Christ Islams Awaited Messiah' by Joel Richardson and also read 'The politically Incorrect Guide to Islam' (And the Crusades) by Robert Spencer.
Both are very good sources for understanding what's really going on between the two Religions.

Holy Qura'n, Chapter 9, part 11 =(9/11)
Verse no 109
"Is it then he who laid the foundation of his building on piety to Allah and His good pleasure better, or he who laid the foundation of his building on the brink of an undetermined precipice ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into Fire of Hell. And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun".
It means Allah almighty is All-Wise and All-Powerful.
