WHY I EMBRACED ISLAM ?:PDF Download
Don’t Blame Islam for Boko Haram
When the news broke that over 200 girls had been abducted by Boko Haram, I was prepared for some Islamophobic rhetoric from the Spencer/Gellar ilk. What I was not expecting were Pulitzer prize winners like Leonard Pitts, even for once, falling for the sensational “extremist Islam is scared of little girls” narrative. It’s not Islam but savage bearded men who are scared of little girls. Inserting “Islam” into the equation is a distraction; it augments the agenda of Boko Haram, who are craving religious legitimacy. Deny them that. I am a father of two girls. What anguish the parents of over 200 abducted girls must be experiencing is beyond me. I cannot comprehend why the world is not acting swiftly to unite 276 innocent girls with their families, or why a “coalition of the willing” is not removing the localized tumor of Boko Haram before it metastasizes into a pan- African cancer. What I do comprehend, however, is the common thread of ignorance and hatred between Boko Haram and Islamophobes. Both know zilch about the true Islamic teachings; their ignorance is directly proportional to the number of words they utter. Both hold blanket hatred for the other: Boko Haram hates all Western ideas (hence their name, which translates roughly to “Western education is a sin”), and Islamophobes like Pat Robertson compare Islam to Nazism. And both resort to a “buy one, get one” sales strategy: Buy into this narrative of ignorance or hatred and you get to use or bash Islam — depending upon your location — for free. Don’t give me the “Boko Haram associate themselves with Islam, so what’s wrong with us doing the same?” argument. Can’t we see the wrong in legitimizing the words of a few hundred thugs over the beliefs of a billion-plus Muslims? Why didn’t we malign the faith of over a billion Christians because of Joseph Kony calling himself a “devout Christian”? Remember that Kony, the leader of the Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army, also abducted thousands of children in Africa? That nothing in Islam, today or 1,400 years ago, justifies the abduction of any human being, let alone innocent girls, is a fact I have explained ad nauseam. Man, at times, I feel exhausted. Exhausted of educating the masses about the medieval Arabian practice of burying girls alive and how Islam, not Boko Haram, abolished and memorialized it with these Quranic words: “And when the girl-child buried alive is questioned about, for what crime was she killed?” (81:9-10). Exhausted of repeating what Prophet Muhammad taught his companions: “If a daughter is born to a person and he brings her up, gives her a good education and trains her in the arts of life, I shall myself stand between him and hell-fire.” Exhausted of disclosing what Fatima-al-Fihri, a Muslim woman, accomplished in 859 A.D. by establishing the University of Karueein in Fez, Morocco. (Hint: It’s listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.) But I am proud of my Muslim daughter, who is taking four AP exams as a sophomore in high school and aiming for the pinnacle of the so-called “sinful” Western education. Translate this, “Boko Haram”! Some ask, “How do you tell the story without mentioning Islam?” “By learning from other Pulitzer prize-winning journalists,” I respond. Last week The New York Times‘ Nicholas Kristoff wrote, “The attack in Nigeria is part of a global backlash against girls’ education by extremists. The Pakistani Taliban shot Malala Yousafzai in the head at age 15 because she advocated for girls’ education. Extremists threw acid in the faces of girls walking to school in Afghanistan. And in Nigeria, militants destroyed 50 schools last year alone.” He refused to take the Islam or Islamist bait four times in one paragraph, yet he told the story. Bravo. When my daughter returned from school today, she described how one of her Jewish classmates lamented the obvious practice of specifying the “Muslimness” of an extremist act in the headlines. See how apparent it has become? So end this sensationalism, please. Let’s bring the filthy thugs of Boko Haram to justice, yesterday. And let’s stop elevating their status by linking them to Islam in our headlines from tomorrow.

Muslims show solidarity with Iraqi Christians in Baghdad rally
Generally you will not find this type of news in main stream news channels,so i published here to let everyone know,many christians in debate ask about this,why muslims are doing anything,why muslim is not standing against isis,blah blah blah i just want to let them know..if you didn;t heard about muslims protesting against terrorist or terrorism,then this does not mean,muslims are not doing anything.i ask muslims to share this news as much as they can,this news is not found in many popular news websites. Muslims show solidarity with Iraqi Christians in Baghdad rally Muslims show solidarity with Iraqi Christians in Baghdad rally More than 200 people – many of them Muslims – gathered on Sunday in front of a Catholic church in Baghdad carrying “I am Iraqi, I am Christian” slogans to show solidarity after a radical Islamist group evacuated Christians from their homes in the northern city of Mosul. “What gives us hope is a group of citizens – I do not want to say Muslims but they were Muslims – from Baghdad carrying slogans saying “I am Iraqi, I am Christian,” Father Maysar Bahnam of Mar Korkis Catholic Church told Al Arabiya News. “They prayed in solidarity with us, saying that we are people from this land,” Bahnam said, emphasizing that the rally “is a hope for us as Iraqis and Christians, that there are good Iraqis. In fact, Iraqis are good people but sectarian issues which could have come from abroad affected us.” Addressing both the Muslim congregates and the approximately 150 Christian worshipers after Sunday mass, Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako, head of the Chaldean Catholic Church, started his speech saying “I am Christian, Sunni, Shiite, Kurd, Mandean, Yazidi and I am Iraqi,” in reference to the country’s diversity. “His words were very influential and had a big echo among the attendees,” Father Bahnam said. An online video posted on the “I am Iraqi, I am Christian” campaign page on Facebook showed the Christian and Muslim participants holding their slogans up while singing the Iraqi national anthem to the accompaniment of the church’s pianist. The event was organized late Saturday by civil rights activist and journalist Yousif al- Tamimi, after calls to show solidarity begun flooding social media and as a deadline expired on a decree imposed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group ordering Christians in Mosul to convert to Islam or leave. Secure atmosphere “Late Saturday, calls started on Facebook and social media to organize the event and to make use of the timing that the day after was Sunday, mass prayer of our Christian brothers,” Tamimi, the campaign’s organizer told Al Arabiya News. An online video posted on the “I am Iraqi, I am Christian” campaign page on Facebook showed the Christian and Muslim participants holding their slogans up while singing the Iraqi national anthem. (Photo courtesy of Facebook) “We coordinated with the church and the security forces to give Iraqis a secure atmosphere,” the activist, who described Iraqi Christians as a “historic and principle entity in Iraq,” said. Tamimi said the Christian worshipers initially seemed disheartened over what had happened in the militant-held Mosul, but with the campaign’s participants showing solidarity with them, “it raised their confidence, especially with their surrounding people.” Iraqis from the southern and central parts of the country wanted to come but couldn’t reach Baghdad due to the security complication in the country, Tamimi said, adding “even Iraqis abroad, took pictures and posted it on our Facebook page, saying “I am Iraqi, I am Christian” to show solidarity.” Like many Iraqis, the activist said that the chaotic events taking their toll on the embattled country has not only let the Christians down, but everyone including Shiites, Sunnis, and other minority group such as Yazidis. Before the 2003 U.S-led invasion, around one million Christians called Iraq home. But since then, the community has been a frequent target for militants, and attacks on churches, worshippers and clergymen has prompted many Christians to leave the country. Church officials now estimate the community at around 450,000. Father Bahnam lamented the days when Christians and Muslims were able to peacefully coexist as “good neighbors,” urging leading figures especially the religious establishment to keep Iraq as their number one priority. “We won’t have a future, only if we have a real country, constitution and that the law must prevail.” The pastor said: “Our dignity is being defiled because there is no unity government and when groups such as Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds who are the heavyweight sides in Iraq are not reconciling.” Oppression While the Iraqi parliament recently chose its speaker, after the April elections no new government was announced, a delay that continued after the lightning offensive by ISIS militants in June. “When there is an oppression on one faction, there will be oppression on others,” he explained. “Even imams [Sunni religious clerics] were executed by ISIS in Mosul because they did not obey the militant group orders.” When asked about what had happened to the Christians who fled Mosul, he said “around 100 families left to Qaraqosh, 50 others left to Barqila, Bahshiqa and other Christian villages about 30-50 kilometers away from Mosul.” “There was a man who was escaping Mosul with his elderly handicap mother, but he was forced to give his car and her medicine to ISIS. He had to carry his mother on his back,” the pastor recounted one painful story. “Unfortunately this creates a bad image for Muslims,” he said, calling for mercy for all Iraqis.

Proofs from Bible: Jesus Christ is not God Almighty !
JESUS IS NOT ALL-KNOWING LIKE GOD, SO HE’S NOT GOD!
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son (Servant ), but the Father (God).” [Mark 13:32]
JESUS (PBUH) IS NOT EQUAL TO GOD, SO HE’S NOT GOD!
Jesus (pbuh) said, “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” [John 5:30]
Another translation of the same verse:
Jesus (pbuh) said, “By myself I can do NOTHING; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” [John 5:30]
Jesus (pbuh) said,
“The Father is greater than I.” [John 14:28]
Jesus (pbuh) said,
“The father is greater than all.” [John 10:29] “Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.” [John 7:16] “Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater (meizon) than his master, nor is one who is sent greater (meizon) than the one who sent him.” [John 13:16]
GOD CANNOT BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE. NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD, SO JESUS IS NOT GOD! Jesus (pbuh) said;
“No one has seen God at any time.” [John 1:18]
Jesus (pbuh) said;
“Not that any man hath seen the Father.” [John 6:46] “No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Latîf (the Most Subtle and Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things.” [Qur’an 6:103] “GOD continued, “But you may not see my face. No one can see me and live.” [Exodus 33:20] “The invisible God.” [Colossians 1:15] “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.” [1 Timothy 1:17] Whom no man hath seen nor can see.” [1 Timothy 6:16]
JESUS (PBUH) IS A SERVANT OF GOD, SO HE’S NOT GOD! Jesus (pbuh) said;
“Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve.” [Matthew 20:28] “Behold my servant (Jesus), whom I have chosen.” [Matthew 12:18] “The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, hath glorified his servant Jesus.” [Acts 3:13 RSV] “For of a truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hast anointed.” [Acts 4:27 RSV]
JESUS (PBUH) PRAYED TO GOD, DOES GOD PRAY TO HIMSELF? • Jesus prayed for guidance in places of quiet solitude –
• Jesus prayed for His disciples and for all believers -“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” [Mark 1:35] “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” [Luke 5:16]
• Jesus prayed in praise to God, the Father –“Holy Father (GOD), protect them by the power of your name-the name you have shown me-so that they may be one as we are one” [John 17:11].
GOD IS NOT A MAN NOR SON OF MAN (HUMAN BEING), SO JESUS (PBUH) IS NOT GOD!“At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.’” [Luke 10:21]

African Christian Vampire 'Mad Dog' Eating Muslim!(Video)
'Mad Dog' the cannibal pictured eating SECOND Muslim in as many weeks as Christians lynch and burn two men in Central African Republic
Shocking photographs have emerged of a cannibal by the name of Mad Dog eating the flesh of a lynched Muslim man for the second time in as many weeks. In one, 'Mad Dog' - real name Ouandja Magloire - cuts a portion of meat from the body of a murdered Muslim lying burning on a roundabout in the capital of the Central African Republic, with the body of another a few yards away. Another photograph shows him licking a bloodied knife as he stands over a body, wearing the same T-shirt he was pictured in during the previous act of cannibalism.
'Mad Dog' licks blood off a knife, as a crowd prepares to burn the body of a lynched Muslim man in Bangui The horrific images were taken in Bangui on Sunday. According to The Associated Press, the men were killed by residents of the Sango neighbourhood in revenge for the lynching of a taxi driver from Sango a day earlier. Two other Muslim passers-by escaped to the protection of French and African peacekeeping forces. The agency understands that Magloire didn't take part in the killings, but turned up in the aftermath. According to its source, he is the only person in the Central African Republic known to be carrying out acts of cannibalism.
