Then you are totally ignorant of the foundations, nature and objectives of Islam.
Shame on you. B As St Thomas noted: 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://www.geocities.com/athens/rhodes/3543/testmny.htm From: Charles Jacobs [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Jacobs Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 9:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: APT condemns Koran burning <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4a6m4tcab&et=1103668053167&s=7955&e=001cuJel- 85O5g2viENNUcQ5oW_DU8awTXFPrZ3cbDvaBEhYx4JSavy-SvaroYYO3BQLgVM7Q7qeO3TqHu6-C edrXrwown6mC6kWVXkpX-oXo-ighagAzvI5n-YbYYBHVom> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4a6m4tcab&et=1103668053167&s=7955&e=001cuJel- 85O5g2viENNUcQ5oW_DU8awTXFPrZ3cbDvaBEhYx4JSavy-SvaroYYO3BQLgVM7Q7qeO3TqHu6-C edrXrwown6mC6kWVXkpX-oXo-ighagAzvI5n-YbYYBHVom> APT Banner <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4a6m4tcab&et=1103668053167&s=7955&e=001cuJel- 85O5g2viENNUcQ5oW_DU8awTXFPrZ3cbDvaBEhYx4JSavy-SvaroYYO3BQLgVM7Q7qeO3TqHu6-C edrXrwown6mC6kWVXkpX-oXo-ighagAzvI5n-YbYYBHVom> Dear Bruce, We at APT condemn in the strongest terms the planed 9/11 Quran burning event organized by Pastor Terry Jones and his Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida. The Quran needs to be studied; its objectionable passages need to be honestly examined; and reformist Muslims should be given a safe and accommodating forum for its reinterpretation. We in the West have adopted the values of the Enlightenment and have been enriched by the intellectual and reason-driven world we have created, a world where ideas are explored and debated - adopted or rejected -- on the basis of reason, facts, logic and humanity. Book burning is an act that prevents the sort of discussion of Islamic ideas and programs that is most needed in the current circumstances. APT exists to expose the program of Islamists to radicalize America's historic Muslim community. We do so through research, discussion and open debate. We don't need to burn books. We need to help the people who want to reform them. We find this <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4a6m4tcab&et=1103668053167&s=7955&e=001cuJel- 85O5gr5taZimF8dAa8uTIlSK_ZWt_bzVRxWXCU8bVSvE_Hx2F6vFiA-tzTBF-8vpOiaO8jROOCWm dtY_I_CftHCbXaQPLzoEAi_TppBX6hif8Vb36wIUuGTxWqoKdz-7b_u598VACM-5o24pCGA06z_e 9Nwdw0Guac5mSr4yj3ak5ljux_IQ77KS4Z> analysis of the issue by Frank Gaffney particularly prescient.
