Apropo the following article, see this comment by St. Thomas Aquinas:
http://www.geocities.com/athens/rhodes/3543/testmny.htm Mohammed - Is his Testimony Credible? By St. Thomas Aquinas "He (Mohammed) seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected; he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the Contrary, Mohammed said that he was sent in the power of his arms - which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning (1). Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Mohammed forced others to become his follower's by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimony of the Old and the New Testaments by making them into a fabrication of his own, as can be seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place faith in his words believe foolishly" - Summa Contra Gentiles, Book 1, Chapter 16, Art. 4. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/07/islam-falsifies-all- other-religions-jesus-is-a-slave-to-allah.html July 15, 2011 Islam Falsifies All Other Religions: "Jesus is a Slave to Allah" We are expected not to run a couple of innocuous cartoons, not to oppose the building of a 15-story mega mosque at Ground Zero, and not to say "Muhammad on South Park," because marauding Muslims will be offended and burn down embassies and slaughter non-Muslims across the world. And yet this kind of falsifying of Christianity must be tolerated in the interest of "outreach?" No. This is dhimmitude. <http://www.dhimmitude.org/> And it seems the Christians and the Jews who lived under dhimmitude <http://www.dhimmitude.org/> did not emerge unscathed. There is an involuntary defense mechanism to submit, capitulate to Muslim invaders. Centuries of humiliation and brutal subjugation has had that effect. The psychological landscape of non-Muslims (with exceptions, of course) is suffused with knee-jerk submission. <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c60bf53ef014e89dc8db4970d-pi > Jesus-was-a-slave-640x426 Glenn Beck said this billboard was put up by Muslims near the entrance to the Stations of the Cross. But it's not just Jerusalem. Here in America, bus ads are running with the same message. A bit less obvious, stealth propaganda, but the same message. And Australia too. I am sure Atlas readers can cite many examples. Where is the outrage? Billboards in Sydney declare Jesus is a 'prophet of Islam' <http://www.christiantoday.com/article/billboards.in.sydney.declare.jesus.is .a.prophet.of.islam/28081.htm> by Clayton Hinds Posted: Wednesday, June 1, 2011, 13:48 (BST) Billboards in Sydney declare Jesus is a 'prophet of Islam' Photo of the MyPeace website showing the billboard designs Christian Today A Catholic Bishop has slammed a series of provocative billboards in Sydney touting Jesus as a "prophet of Islam". The Islamic apologist website Mypeace.com.au launched the controversial advertising campaign to provoke discussion and promote free literature. Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Sydney, Julian Porteous, described the campaign as a direct assault on Christianity and called for the billboards to be immediately removed. "In Australia with its Christian heritage a billboard carrying the statement 'Jesus A prophet of Islam' is provocative and offensive to Christians," he said. "Central to Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ is more than a prophet. He is the Son of God. He is acclaimed Lord and Saviour of humanity. "This statement is a direct assault on Christian beliefs," said Bishop Porteous. The bishop has also lamented that the incendiary campaign has the potential to damage relations between the Christian church and the Muslim community. And these bus ads ran all across America. <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c60bf53ef015433bca49f970c-pi > Islam-bus-ad New York <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c60bf53ef012876fe9fc4970c-po pup> Islambus2 <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c60bf53ef012876fe966a970c-po pup> Islam bus ad Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent by Islamic supremacists to run these bus ads falsifying Christianity and Judaism.
