Mishael

Muslims go around Mecca seven times and Mecca is a hilly place. There's no goddess worship in the Roman Catholic Church, Easter and Christmas aren't pagan festivals these are two common myths and both were celebrated by early Christians. Feast days were also done by early Christians, Pontifex Maximus literally means bridge builder or bridge maker, it was cone used as a pagan title, but the title itself isn't necessarily pagan and can technically be used in any religion considering it literally means bridge builder. As for meeting pagans halfway, you'd have to literally prove Pope Gregory said that from historical documents and make sure it was also translated correctly, also you can't provide baseless assumptions you need to name me something you call "pagan" and then prove to me the Catholic Church had a link to it and copied it. The mitre only resembles a fish in certain shape, Dagon priests used to actually wear fish hats with carved scales in them, also you do know the Catholic mitre evolved throughout history it didn't look like how it currently does now, had it been modeled after the Dagon headgear it would have looked like that from the beginning.

I'm not Muslim I'm Christian from the Middle East and I'm talking about Middle Eastern Christians who suffer from Muslims and no one bothers to help us Christians of the Middle East.

Thats how I live everyday, but obviously the west doesn't really care what happens to us, even Israel is turning its back on us nowadays. We suffer under Islam, but somehow its our fault and we are blamed for our own misfortunes.

Thats a ridiculous conspiracy theory not historic proof of a link between Catholicism and Paganism.

Your kind of love seems to extend to the teachings of Islam and Islam itself which is not how we're supposed to love.

They are Christians just as you are, the whore of Babylon is Mecca not Rome, Satanic would be to deny jess something the Roman Catholic Church doesn't do, there's no evidence the Roman Catholic Church is pagan either, not to mention its past suppression of anything pagan. You do know Catholic means universal it doesn't necessarily have to do with the Church of Rome, I call myself Catholic yet I'm not part of the Church of Rome.

Not according to their Quran, which is why I asked the question.

Roman Catholicism isn't evil and needs to stop being portrayed as such.

There's hundreds of verses to pick and choose from, sorry if I spoiled it for you.

I can interpret the verse for you, those who believe from the people in the book will have their reward from Allah, but the meaning of believe here means they must repent and believe in the prophethood of Mohammed. Disbelievers who don't repent and accept Islam from the Ahl Al Kitab (which are all of us) are still considered Kuffar and Mushrikun who must be converted, subdued, or killed.

Quran 8:39 – “And fight with them until there is no more fitna and religion should be only for Allah” Muslims will be quick to point out fitna means persecution and that muslims are to only fight oppression until they can worship Allah, but according to Islam Shirk (polytheism) is the greatest persecution of all and every religion not Islam in their eyes is polytheistic and shares partners with Allah and therefore Shirk and Kufr must be subjugated and removed forcefully from the world as Allah and his messenger command.

KKK's basic doctrine goes against Christianity as we know Jesus wasn't white, Isis and other so called extremists beliefs are exactly online with the Quran and Sunnah. Drug Cartels don't kill in the name of Christianity they kill for drugs and crime, Muslims who kill in the name of their religion merely follow their religion many genuinely believe that what they do is right and they will be rewarded in heaven for it. All Muslims follow the devil as only the devil commands killing and subjugation to spread his words as their so called god does.

OneGodBeliever walked out on my question regarding the Gharaniq incident when Mohammed said to worship the daughters of Allah, Allat, Manat, and Al Uzza.

Incase Muslims use the excuse that Arabic speaking Jews and Christians use the word Allah for God, first of all we were forcefully Arabized after living under Arabs for so long and even when we say Allah we use it to refer to God of Abraham, the Islamic Allah is a pagan god. I myself pray in my original native language Aramaic-Syriac not Arabic.

Lol, Bilal Philips has been banned from Dawah in the UK due to inciting extremism and having links to extremist groups. He claims to have been a Christian, but I don't know how one goes from the truth into going into an Arab pagan religion of hate.

Same here.

The pact of Umar: The ruler would provide security for the Christian believers who follow the rules of the pact. Prohibition against building new churches, places of worship, monasteries, monks or a new cell. (Hence it was also forbidden to build new synagogues, although it is known that new synagogues were built after the occupation of the Islam, for example in Jerusalem and Ramle. The law that prohibits to build new synagogues was not new for the Jews, it was applied also during the Byzantines. It was new for the Christians.) Prohibition against rebuilding destroyed churches, by day or night, in their own neighborhoods or those situated in the quarters of the Muslims. Prohibition against hanging a cross on the Churches. Muslims should be allowed to enter Churches (for shelter) in any time, both in day and night. Obliging the call of prayer by a bell or a kind of Gong (Nakos) to be low in volume. Prohibition of Christians and Jews against raising their voices at prayer times. Prohibition against teaching non-Muslim children the Qur'an. Christians were forbidden to show their religion in public, or to be seen with Christian books or symbols in public, on the roads or in the markets of the Muslims. Palm Sunday and Easter parades were banned. Funerals should be conducted quietly. Prohibition against burying non-Muslim dead near Muslims. Prohibition against raising a pig next to a Muslims neighbor. Christian were forbidden to sell Muslims alcoholic beverage. Christians were forbidden to provide cover or shelter for spies. Prohibition against telling a lie about Muslims. Obligation to show deference toward Muslims. If a Muslim wishes to sit, non-Muslim should be rise from his seats and let the Muslim sit. Prohibition against preaching to Muslims in an attempt to convert them from Islam. Prohibition against preventing the conversion to Islam of some one who wants to convert. The appearance of the non-Muslims has to be different from those of the Muslims: Prohibition against wearing Qalansuwa (kind of dome that was used to wear by Bedouin), Bedouin turban (Amamh), Muslims shoes, and Sash to their waists. As to their heads, it was forbidden to comb the hair sidewise as the Muslim custom, and they were forced to cut the hair in the front of the head. Also non-Muslim shall not imitate the Arab-Muslim way of speech nor shall adopt the kunyas (Arabic byname, such as "abu Khattib"). Obligation to identify non-Muslims as such by clipping the heads' forelocks and by always dressing in the same manner, wherever they go, with binding the zunar (a kind of belt) around the waists. Christians to wear blue belts or turbans, Jews to wear yellow belts or turbans, Zoroastrians to wear black belts or turbans, and Samaritans to wear red belts or turbans. Prohibition against riding animals in the Muslim custom, and prohibition against riding with a saddle. Prohibition against adopting a Muslim title of honor. Prohibition against engraving Arabic inscriptions on signet seals. Prohibition against any possession of weapons. Non-Muslims must host a Muslim passerby for at least 3 days and feed him. Non-Muslims prohibited from buying a Muslim prisoner. Prohibition against taking slaves who have been allotted to Muslims. Prohibition against non-Muslims to lead, govern or employ Muslims. If a non-Muslim beats a Muslim, his Dhimmi is removed. The worship places of non-Muslims must be lower in elevation than the lowest mosque in town. The houses of non-Muslims must not be taller in elevation than the houses of Muslims. Umar is respected by all Muslims and was the second Khalifa of the Rashidun Khilafat and is regarded as rightly guided and one of the best Shahaba by Sunni Muslims who make up the majority of Islam. Now tell me if this so called pact is any different from what Isis did to Christians under their authority.

My education of Islam came when people had already forgot about 9/11, there's also no such thing as Wahhabism it's called Salafism, Salafis take their interpretations from the Quran and Sunnah straight with no add ons, if anything they are the most pure form of Islam, I've lived in a Salafi dominated nation for my whole life, there's nothing that goes on here regarding law without regards to the Quran and Sunnah. There are peaceful Muslims, there's no peaceful Islam neither does Islam teach we are to live peacefully in harmony with each other. Islam commands you to repent and become Muslim, pay the Jizyah in Submission, if you choose none of those then you die. Isis doesn't represent all Muslims or even a quarter of all Muslims, but they do represent Islam 100%.

Real Muslims who have no problem distorting their own sources to suit their agenda? Reading from unbiased Islamic sources made me leave Islam: https://islamqa.info/en

And for any of you Muslims who say Islam is against extremism I urge you to please tell me what was the difference in Isis treatment of Christians in Mosul to the pact of Umar: The ruler would provide security for the Christian believers who follow the rules of the pact. Prohibition against building new churches, places of worship, monasteries, monks or a new cell. (Hence it was also forbidden to build new synagogues, although it is known that new synagogues were built after the occupation of the Islam, for example in Jerusalem and Ramle.

It's always good to go straight to Islamic sources as I do instead of trusting Muslims who are perfectly capable of manipulating their own texts. The English interpretation of the Quran even mistranslated many words such as قتل which means kill to fight, or فرج which means vagina to chasity. So it's very hard to trust people who don't play fairly or are perfectly fine with lying.

You can compare both Answering Islam with Answering Christianity and see which one makes more sense. Answering Islam's make way more sense then Answering Christianity I myself challenged the head of Answering Christianity Osama Abdullah to answer the question about Gharaniq but he chose to viciously insult Christianity instead. Not to mention the people who run Answering Christianity don't seem to want Christians going on there refuting them. Here is the link if you don't believe me, I'm Al Masihi on Answering Christianity: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,3095.0.html

Rwanda was more nationalistic then religious, when have mexcicans behead each 0ther based on sect differences, I think you meant Iraq.

I asked a direct question, when did you see Christians tearing up a country due to sect differences and crucifying each other? Answering Islam is a good source it provides references for its claims.

Funny when you guys hear or see Christians speaking against Israel or Jews you immediately side with Christians and say you respect Jesus and Mary while Jews revile them, but then you say we don't believe Jesus is God and we don't believe in the trinity just like Jews, hypocrisy isn't it?
