For once, Noodles, you not only make sense, but I agree with you. Keep it up.

PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.01.12)
Rest of the Moslem world? Do "humanists" care?
4. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   JESUSALEN   (04.01.12)
an ancient prophecy is fulfilled,in the year 518 b.c. zechariah prophesied the triumphal entry of jesus in sion,he wrote scream in triumph or daughter of sion,look your king himself comes to you,it is fair yes saved,humble,and rides on a donkey,even on a fully developed animal,son of a donkey and he will actually speak peace to the nations and his governorship will be from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth,people extended their clothing before jesus,a gesture that recalled the public announcement of the king,who called jesus son of david highlighted their legal right as ruler and the use of palms showed clearly his subservience to the royal authority of jesus,in this way,the procession entered sion on 9 nisan clearly transmitted the message that jesus was the messiah and king appointed by God,of course,this presentation of jesus was not happy to all,in particular the pharisees thought it was completely improper that jesus received royal honors but indeed the kingdom of God was the theme of the preaching of jesus and he courageously proclaimed this message out that people accept it or not
5. Question
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.01.12)
If they are Christian, why are they dressed like Moslems? Just asking.

World Citizen ,   the world   (04.01.12)
It is a old custom in all three Abrahamic religions. Ever see a Christian nun?

Henry from New York ,   USA   (04.01.12)
Cardinals are usually dressed. Many also used to wear wide brimmed pink hats, but I'm not sure where those went. Also, why's everyone in the TBs using this archaic Moslem spelling when the proper pronunciation would have a hard u (or two o's) in it pronunciation? Muslim, though I think the an umlauted u might serve better.
9. 5 - Muslims copied Christians
Charles   (04.01.12)
Christians were on the scene with their traditions many centuries before the first Muslim.
10. #5 ANSWER
Frank-el ,   Saettle USA   (04.01.12)
Disregarding your ridiculous "leading" question...because of tradition. And perhaps you are capable of rewinding history prior to the holocaust to see that Jews once wore clothing like this as well. And if you are a semite and many Moslems are semites...then you must be the same too, eh chico?
11. #4 Zechariah 9:9-10
Nachshon ,   Albuquerque, USA   (04.01.12)
Christian, you reference verse 9, but you fail to look at verse 10. War has not been eliminated, nor is there peace among the nations, nor is Mashiach ruling to the ends of the earth. This prophecy has not been fulfilled.

Amanda ,   USA   (04.01.12)
They are catholic nuns - they wear a habit - to cover thier hair. Many women did cover their heads back in the days even before Islam, but it was to protect them from the sun (or maybe to keep their hair clean longer) and not an issue of "modesty." Please remember that Islam came after all other faiths - not before, as they claim. The only ones younger than Islam are Communism, Humanism, Sikhism, Shintoism and Bahaism.

The Jesus that you are talking about is an invented Jesus and has nothing to do with Judaism .Go peddle your nonsense on another site.
