There are certainly people who have an irrational reaction to appearances. There are those who unjustly accuse others of things they have not done. But if you want to read an authority on Islam today, be sure to check out Always on Watch. That blog will give you lots of accurate information on the advance of Islam in America and elsewhere in the world.

Meanwhile, I'd like to point out something about the Holy Book of Islam that perhaps you didn't realize. I'm sure even the casual reader knows that Mohammad is the prophet of Islam. He's the one, that if you say his name wrong, or draw a picture of him, many Muslims will literally kill you. Did you know he wrote the Qur'an? Well, not exactly.

The story behind the Qur'an is that Mohammad exiled himself to a cave and the angel Gabriel came to him and had him recite verses. When he was told the verses, he could repeat them at will -- he had them memorized. Mohammad was illiterate, so later on he repeated his memories for scribes, who then wrote them down. Years after Mohammed's death, these verses were compiled into the Qur'an.

No one else ever witnessed these revelations. There was no one else to confirm or deny these visits from an angel. The entire book of the Qur'an was "written" by one man. Compare that to the Bible, which was written over a thousand years by 40 different authors and has been verfied by hundreds of others.

And I'm sure many people have heard about the "Satanic Verses." Do you know what those are? According to the Muslim religion, the Qur'an is the final revelation of God. All it's words are the unchangeable words of God. The "Satanic Verses," however, are a set of four verses that were written one way, then changed to read something completely different. That sort of kills the idea that the Qur'an is the pure, unchangable word of God, doesn't it.

Mohammad was just a man who came up with the Qur'an. It simply is not possible that this book is the word of God.
