Thanks Charlotte for agreeing with most of my comments. I do know some things about the teachings of Islam. I also know the history of Mohammed who resorted to murdering the surrounding tribes, in latter years if they did't convert to Islam. He went on to marry a 6 year old called Aisha, when he was in his fifties, the marriage wasn't consummated until she was 9, as if that is better. I have spoken to Muslim people and reasoned with them about their beliefs ( I didn't mention the history though). Some months ago whilst riding in a taxi in Singapore, I struck up a conversation with a man who told me he was Muslim. I asked him how he became one. He said he was born in that religion. I told him that I wasn't born a Christian but was converted by a powerful experience. I went on to tell him of the miricles I had seen since. I asked him what was his hope as a Muslim and he said to go to heaven. I said that Jesus claimed to have come from there, so perhaps he knew the way. After the journey he dropped me at the airport and he then shook my hand and thanked me for our conversation. I have also talked to people about my experiences with God in Malaysia, where it is a criminal offence to do so. Perhaps it was my choice of words that was incorrect, as the teaching of 70 virgins (which means children by the way). Was a fabrication of one Shiek to entice his assassin's to die for him. A female friend said once when we were talking about this, what is the virgins reward in this teaching. Perhaps a female perspective, by the way whats the reason for small children to wear Burka's? Not having a shot at people just the belief system. Before there's a comment about people who have fought wars for Jesus. Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world, if it was my followers would fight for me. His only act of violence was to knock the tables over in the temple, the reason for that was because the people there were ripping common worshippers off. Jesus suffered a very violent death by the way for religious reasons. To give people a new life and I praise him for it.
