so tell me why does the quraan call for nasty things and such?
32. don't you see that
observer   (09.28.10)
A Muslim would never say nasty thing about your bible, because he/she believes in your bible as he/she believes in quraan. Quraan came to complete both Torah and New Testament.
33. I have no bible
margaret   (09.28.10)
and I am still interested in an answer-seriously.
34. Druze(a.k.a. Mowahhidoon)
Ziad I Maddah ,   Easton,Pa, USA.   (09.28.10)
Mowahiddoon(Arabic for 'Monotheists) emerged in the 800s believing they were a new interpretation of Judaism, Christianity & Islam. In their view, the other three lost the true meaning of religion by focusing on rituals & laws. In contrast they sought the " Pure Path", which incorporated aspects of Greek philosophy & Hindu spirituality with traditional monotheism..They belive that each soul is reincarnated from life to life & that Heaven & Hell are states of mind rather than destinations.. An offshoot of Islam that rejuected the five pillars of Islam, causing many Muslims to reject them..

No one is saying that the Mufti's presence with Hitler [not Eichmann; why bring him up?] encouraged Hitler. The opposite: Hitler's presence with the Mufti encouraged the Mufti.

Many Muslims, yes. Also many Christian arabs. But not so many in the ME as you would like us to believe. Wartime manpower requirements and the strategic need to defend the Middle East induced the British to permit the formation of 15 Palestinian Jewish battalions. These units were incorporated into the British army in September 1940. Jewish units fought with the Allies in Greece in 1941. On August 6, 1942, the British army formed a Palestine Regiment out of three Jewish and one Palestinian Arab battalion. The regiment fought in Egypt and in the battles of North Africa. About 6,000 Palestinian Arabs served with the British, but about 26,000 Jewish Palestinians volunteers also served. A substantial number of Muslims made common cause with the Nazis during World War II. There was considerable sympathy for the Nazis in the Middle East and North Africa. The Grand Mufti in Palestine provoked anti-Jewish and anti British riots even before the War. There was an anti-British coup in Iraq (1941). Anti-British forces gained considerable strength in Iran where the Soviets and British intervened (1941). There was considerable anti-British sentiment in Egypt which was prepared to welcome Rommel and the Afrika Korps with open arms (1942).
37. The Druze never were Muslims
Druze ,   Israel   (07.02.11)
The Druze are not and never were Muslims. The Muslims do not believe in reincarnation. The Druze like the Kabala Rabbis believe in reincarnation. The Druze originaly were and are from Jewish origin Druze girl
