As a devout Christian, I'm embarrassed by the content in this pamphlet. I would never want anyone to consider my religion violent based on stories from the Old Testament where righteous people chose to kill rather than forgive. Consider the frustration if we were all considered evil because of events in the Spanish inquisitions, the crusades, or any number of insane acts performed by the papacy in the dark ages. How can we explain the numerous indications of slavery in the Bible?

I can separate my study of the scriptures and the important teachings from the historical context that was recorded in languages I can't read. The sections of the Quran I've read don't seem overly violent to me and there are many Christ like suggestions such as being charitable and forgiving.

Christ would certainly not condone the use of money available for helping people in need toward the printing and distribution of material that does not fairly depict the meaning of a religion practiced by one in four people.

Our memories seem to be very short. The incredible violence and hate flowing from a small contingent of fanatics that happen to be Muslim, appears eerily similar to a small contingent of self proclaimed Christians that believed the * Party could inspire people with "Positive Christianity" and justify the murder of millions of Jews.

This pamphlet cannot possibly bring any clarity to modern day conflicts and should be considered a dramatic failure in judgement by the CBN.

Shame on you for release a booklet based on lies, you started off by giving a fraction of of meaning on the definition on jihaad. Jihaad does not meet holy war, the word war in Arabic is harb.

Jihad means struggling in the name of Allah Almighty. Jihad doesn't always mean a war or battle. Any mean for spreading Islam and the Truth, or to fight for what is right and condemn what is wrong (such as fighting the bad and helping the oppressed even if they were not Muslims) are considered Jihad. I'm not going to respond back by giving verses in the Old and New Testaments on the killing verses as I don't that will only results in hatred among the Christians and Muslim.

And the slander you gave to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are lies. If you want to seek the real authentic and award winning book on the biography of the Prophet, then read on "The Sealed Nectar" instead (ebook can be downloaded here www.missionislam.com/knowledge/books/Ar-Raheeq_Al-Makhtum.pdf ). I know it's too much but it is based on authentic reporting and not by hearsay of someone has no reputation and acknowledgment even from the Muslim world.

And the verses of Quran where taken out of its context. You wouldn't want people from other faith to quote a verse from Bible out of its context, would you ? Read the original English translation with the commentaries from a well known translator used by many Muslims in the most part of the world ( here is the link to the pdf: http://www.ulc.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/English-Quran-With-Commentaries.pdf ).

Do yourself a favor by reading from these authentic sources and finally you can do your own judgement on what Islam really preach and will come to know that the real teaching of Islam promotes peace and do not harbor terrorism like what you see in the media because it is their job to instill and feed your mind with hatred towards Islam no matter whether they are all false news. You now have the choice to do your own research and you will come to know that the Muslims regards Jesus as well as Noah, Abraham, Moses and Muhammad (peace be upon them all and all other prophets) as the leading Messengers of God which preach mankind to worship and obey one true Monotheistic God, and not Trinity. Muslims uplift Jesus (peace be upon him) by following his way of worship by putting his face on the ground, his fasting, his way of eating kosher food, his greeting of peace, his way of keeping beard and also circumcision, and also Mary the mother of Jesus in ways of keeping her modesty by covering herself like a Muslim.

Truly, read the links I have given you, and trust me, if you seek for the real truth with real intention of finding the truth and not on finding faults, then the truth shall find you, by God's will.

Thank you CBN and all who care to know the truth. The more closely we examine Jesus, the BETTER HE LOOKS!!! The more closely we examine Muhammad, the worse he looks. If you are muslim please understand what is at stake here. You must believe Jesus to get saved. Jesus said I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. He is Almighty God and He is not a liar.

Islam as a religion is a word of God and a complete way of life. Yes there are lots of bad people out there who claim to be Muslims and do evil things like those who are out there who did and still do evil things and claim to be Christians or Jews, all of those are cursed by God and will be badly punished, what they do is an incorrect interpretation of the religion, don’t look at the small percentage of those who do evil things and generalize your judgment, look at the 12+ billion Muslims who reflect the true religion of Islam.

What has been mentioned in this booklet is all fabrication of the true facts about Islam; all of the verses and ahadith were taken completely out of context hence they were completely explained in a false manner. Muslims believe in Jesus, Moses and all other prophets like Mohammad, if a Muslim does not believe in one prophet then his religion is not complete.

Before you judge the religion, learn about it from the mouth of its people who practice it on a daily basis; come and visit an Islamic center and have an experience.

Man has always used titles to define their selves. I prefer not to, I am of native american Indian, bit the only title I will use is I am a child of God and that Jesus Christ is my lord, my savor, my hero, the light in so much darkness, and the holy spirit is my guide to leading my life in a way that will bring joy to his heart as well as my own. I pray for eyes and hearts to be opened, our father is of love and peace, and all things that are good.. My heart goes out to our heavenly father, how his heart must break to see his children killing each other. After all these years of war..in many countries.. What is sad is .. We will be judged on our deeds and so many souls have been lost due to a closed heart

Thanks CBN for putting this up for download on your website! CBN is doing a great job of exposing Islam for the monster that it is! A sinister plan (by Satan, who is behind this!) to deceive people and put them into chains! I love everybody, but I am having a reallly hard time to differentiate between the Muslim and their religion quite frankly. However, I will pray for Muslims to open their eyes so they can see Jesus!

Well CW, Barack Obama was invited to a major Christian church during his presidential campaign, an event that would greatly help his chances of convincing 'the naive, uninformed part of American Christians that he was worthy of their vote. (And naive and uninformed, like the pastor that invited him, is exactly what they were - they voted for him!
During his "conversation He was asked point blank by the pastor of that church whether he was a Christian believer or not. Like the liar and deceiver that he is (mmmm...now, who else fits that "ticket"?!) he looked the pastor in the eyes and stated very clearly that, "I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ"! Well, he is no more a believer in Jesus Christ than I am the King of Spain! And I do not think that you are any more than he said he was - a believer in Jesus Christ! If you were, you would not come out with this kind of "elaborate" rhetoric! You would defend the stats that she came out with, understanding that she was not out to slander, rather to inform in light of what is taking place in today's society. Or, if you knew better than her (which is hard to believe, quite frankly!), then you would at least shut up, and correct her some other way. Consider the time it took her research this and to write this. No, you are no Christian believer, you are a phoney!

some hear said that the Koran talks about christ and nature. and i would like to say ya if at the beginning of the koran: it says that muhamed was told by Gabriel that Christ did not come to die for man (even tho in the bible Gabriel said the opposite)(Jesus: savor of man) and that god values all of creation over us (when the bible states that god values us over everything thus why we were created last and one of the reasons that the devil rebelled agents the lord.) then sure........everything opposite of what the bible says about us and christ....then sure....

Thank you for exposing islam for the evil it really is. I have been sharing this book with everyone. I also have a physical copy of this book. People need to understand why islam began. Islam only began because Muhammad wanted things; particularly sex. Muhammad raped a six year old child, told people that God said he could do it, then beheaded anyone who tried to stop him. Then, he told people that God said that he alone could have as many wives/sex slaves as he wanted, and promised men they could have up to four wives at once, and an unlimited number of sex slaves, if they follow him. Islam was built around sex and getting Muhammad laid. That's all islam is. Islam died when Muhammad was poisoned (Muhammad actually died in the exact manner he said he would if he were a false prophet).

I got to the know about this beautiful little tract on television when an aged gentleman, reminding me of Walt Whitman, suggested acquiring a copy.

I was astonished that mere 38 pages could sum up so succinctly all that I heard for nearly a decade now: Islam is born out of bloodshed. I was especially moved by the remarkable Christian piety at the end that pitied the Muslims, who though reject the violence, are nonetheless silent about it. Another key takeaway was that Islam is frozen in time and whereas other religions have kept up with the times and spirit, Islam has never updated its theology.

God only save us from what is to come. Nevertheless GOD BLESS AMERICA.

And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. revelation 22:19 referring to the holy scriptures of the holy bible.
its very simple...there is only one way to Jehovah and that is through Jesus Christ.
ALL ELSE IS A LIE

Muhammad is a False Prophet warned of in Galatians 1: 6-9. He was a known murderer, pedophile and rapist. He married his own adopted sons wife, and had 12 wives, when he taught that "Allah" allowed 4 wives. He was a cunning monster and worshipped idols and bowed down at the Kabaa in Mecca, the place of idol worship. He denied that Jesus is the Son of God and that God is 3 persons. He on many occasions claimed the Devil gave him text and prophecies, so why would anyone, ever in history follow this man or his teachings? He is NOT with God now. He has cause Billions to lose their souls. Please turn from this wicked cancer on mankind and save your souls, turn from Islam to the one true King of Kings.

Even the Encyclopedia Brittanica has the recorded history of the MUSLIM World crucifying Armenians.. With pictures back to 1600's THE USA has NOW seen what ISLAM truly is, & there is NO MORE DISCUSSION NECESSARY! The HORRIFIC slaughters & mutilations SAY IT ALL.

Funny how the religion of Islam had remained a peaceful religion at least 1300 years of its FOURTEEN HUNDRED-year history. More importantly is the knowledge that Muslims believe in the return of Jesus ( "Isa" in Arabic). He is written about many times in the Koran as the MESSIAH. What an eye-opener that was!

"Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a word from him,..the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God" Koran 3:45

There must be a divine reason why Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have endured so long.....may be we must know one another.
