My review in this weekend’s New York Times Book Review. (@nytimesbooks) on:
“The Roots of #Islam.”
I mostly agree with Jack Miles on Islam’s links with #Judaism.
And partly agree with @jricole on his revisionist take on the life of #Muhammad.

Border agents took antibiotics away from her sick baby & detained them in a freezing cell called an icebox. When she asked for help, agents called her an “invader” who “wasn’t in a position to be asking for anything.” After 5 days, the baby had pneumonia.

This is a pretty awful take and bordering on racism. The idea that only Christians are killed for their faith and Muslims aren’t is absurd and “ignorant”. And the assumption that a Muslim martyr has to be a killer or terrorist is the language of ISIS. Well done for copying it (!)Mehdi Hasan added,

I have respect for you but your tweet is ignorant. There is a difference between a martyr who is killed because of their Christian faith and a "martyr" who kills others because of their faith. So your comparison is unhelpful.

Your periodic reminder that this violent extremist group was founded by a foreign national living in the United States on a green card.

Good thing for him he’s not brown.

" Seek not our self-righteousness but the righteousness of God "


For in this latter days many souls are being led astray from the true gospel message of our Lord God Jesus Christ by false teachings and false beliefs from false ministries, false churches and false religions... .And Jesus answered and said unto them, "take heed that no man lead you astray".

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME".

Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

It is never too late for each and every one of us to open our hearts, our minds and our souls in deep (the sins within our cells) and sincere repentance (our tears as a sinner), and ask our Lord God Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins and to accept him as our savior and to surrender our souls to him and to be reborn and be filled with the living water of the Holy Spirit of God in our (New) Life.

There are many roads to the path of spiritual enlightenment in this world but there is only one way that leads to the Kingdom of God, and that is through our Lord God Jesus Christ!

Be strong and fearless in your faith for he has overcome the world and there is no greater power in the universe than our Lord God Jesus Christ!

The One and Only True Living God!

Accelerate The Spread Of The Kingdom Of God In This World !
