I thought I had lost this. This is an e-mail and my response to some foolish Christians. I was proud of myself.
This is the e-mail that was sent to me after being forwarded about a million times (which no good Christian should do):
So let it be written so let it be done!
This is something to think about! Since America is represented by an
eagle, Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The
following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)
Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the
lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more
rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and
there was peace.
( Note the verse number!!!!!)
And this is my response to this stupidity:
OK first off, the Quran is NOT the Islamic Bible!!!!
The Quran is the Divine will of Allah. Divine in the same way the Christ is
Divine. So to say that it is the Islamic Bible is not correct, as we
(Christians) do not believe the Bible as a physically entity is Divine.
Second: Chapter Nine of the Quran is titled: At-Tauba (The Repentance) and
here is what chapter nine verse eleven says:
9:11 But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practice
regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the
Signs in detail, for those who understand
Third: The word Eagle NEVER appears in the Quran!!!!!!
Forth: All that Allah means is God. The holy Bible when translated into
Arabic uses the word Allah for God. So when an Arabic person says "Praise
Allah" that statement in and of itself is not an indication of any religion,
as a Arabic person raised in Christianity would call the Christian God
Allah!!!!!!
So, for the Quran to say "for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of
Allah" would be for it to say the Eagle cleansed the lands of God, not
Islamic God or Christian God, or Pagan God, but just God. That would be an
incredibly stupid thing for any religious text fostering a belief in any God
to say.
So Christians, you have been taken. I cannot believe none of you bothered to
check the facts on this, but just repeated something that someone told you
as if it was truth, even though you have no knowledge of the subject matter.
There is a appallingly few amount of Christians today that care to think for
themselves. Christians, by and large, will not question authority and if
something seems to line up with their beliefs, will accept it as true,
without question. I am a Born Again Christian, Jesus calls us to be the
light of the world. And to be responsible for what we say. In this instance,
a lie and been spread by Christians, who did not care to take the time to
check facts. Jesus would not be happy.
There is a saying that goes, it is better to remain silent and let people
think you are ignorant, than to speak up and remove all doubt.
And here is another saying for all the Christians, and I am one
THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!
