the Koran gives four conflicting accounts of Muhammads call to be a prophet [the word, Sura, means chapter]:
Suras 53 and 81 God, or Allah as he is called in Arabic, personally appeared to Muhammad. Suras 16 and 26 The call was from the Holy Spirit. Sura 15 Angels issued the call. Sura 2 Gabriel was the one who appeared to him. Muhammad Revelations At the time Muhammad received his initial visitation, there were over 300 gods being worshiped in Mecca by pilgrims who came there each year to pray at the Ka%u2019aba, a small cubic building that housed a black meteorite and effigies of the various gods. One of those gods was Allah, the moon god.
Muhammad decided to proclaim that there was only one god and he selected Allah as that god. Thats the reason the crescent moon became the symbol of Islam. Muhammad also proclaimed that he was the prophet of Allah.
Initially, Muhammad expected both Jews and Christians to receive his new revelation. Thus, early passages in the Koran speak admiringly of the people of the Book. These are the passages that Muslims in the West love to quote in their effort to prove that Islam is a tolerant religion. An example is Sura 5:82 which says, You will find that those who are nearest in love to the believers [Muslims] are those who say, We are Christians.
Muhammad Rejection But when Jews and Christians rejected Muhammad, he turned fiercely against them, and later passages in the Koran speak of them disparagingly:
Sura 5:51 commands Muslims not to take Jews and Christians as friends. Sura 9:29 commands Muslims to fight against Jews and Christians until they either submit to Allah or else agree to pay a special tax. Sura 2:65-66 and Sura 5:60 contain references to Jews as Capes and swine to be despised and rejected. (Think of that!

we all know, followers of which God are the biggest threat to world peace. more power to America and India has done the right thing by alligning itself with the US. previoulsy Mumbai's black friday was called internal communalism, but incidents like these in India will be dubbed I'mic terrorism in the future and clubbed with 9/11. at the same time, we have to use the present world intolerance to I'mic terrorism to stamp out this evil. since the world has condoned Gutanemo Bay, even we need to open something like this for I'mic terrorists

Your baloney comes directly from the brainwash you go thru at a RSS shaka. Allah is not like your idols who appear anywhere. He does not appear before anyone.

well, your Allah guy and his ideology killed millions of peaceful creatures and their cultures. Now we have the Allah's worshippers blowing themselves in the name of Jehad. Your Islam will be buried in this century for sanity to prevail.

No, Allah doesn't appear before anyone because he's a Delusion. For heaven's sake, muslims, stop smoking pot; even if you do, exhale once in a while. Only then will you see that Islam is not a religion, as one would define a religion, but a cult devised to kill, destory, maim, torture, loot and plunder other societies.
Had he been born in this age, 'prophet' mohammad would have been labelled a terrorist and madman like Hitler, and his religon a dangerous cult and outlawed.

correction: idol wrong, deity is the right word, and deity represents Supreme God in His different manifestation out of Lord Hari causeless mercy to us humans. you muslims are blind that you do not have a clue or cant see God in His Murti=deity manifestation, and cluelessly imagining Him somewhere up in clouds. and since you offended Lord's Murti form, i must set record straight with fanatics like you : your allah(poor creature, such ignorant followers) is busy with 72? virgins, so he never has time to appear before you guys. whatelse, oh yes, you are a complete a*hole for mentioning RSS shakha here. you followers of jehad,what will you know about shakha and its ideals. go do your menial jobs that you guys are good at. live computer and internet for better use by others.
