In Redemption of Saint Augustine and the Muslim Brotherhood

Throughout time the ideology of power has infected the original

ethos of Muslim and Christian communities in a variety of ways.

But if one looks closely, we can see grains of truth scattered

throughout the different adaptations and formulations of Muslim

and Christian theology...

Does Jesus see Muhammad as a true Prophet?

Muhammad begins with a message of right living and peace, but once he is thrust into the dilemma of his people being killed en masse, he and his community must decide wether or not fighting in self defense is the right thing to do.....

A Response To Russell Brand and The Westboro Baptist Church

After watching this video:

link. I eagerly anticipated the next Goddess. The naked lady, as if 

overnight, became the reason to wake up in the morning.

Does Allah Support Violence and Invasion?

Both the Bible and the Quran have often been used to support

violence and invasion throughout history. And both refer to the

supposive Canaanite genocide and invasion of their land as a
