Incitement Before Annihilation: Muslim Scholar Publishes Anti-Christian Book in Egypt
This goes back to the days of Muhammad, the meshugga prophet of Islam. Muhammad accused Christians and Jews of having forged their scriptures to deny him his place amongst the prophets. Here is what Moses Maimonides had to say about living under Islam:
Maimonides points to one of the reasons for Muslim hatred of Jews:
Inasmuch as the Muslims could not find a single proof in the entire Bible nor a reference or possible allusion to their prophet which they could utilize, they were compelled to accuse us saying, “You have altered the text of the Torah, and expunged every trace of the name of Mohammed therefrom.” They could find nothing stronger than this ignominious argument.

In Egypt, of all places, where Obama was yapping that “throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”
Tundra Tabloids KGS reminds us:
Folks, this is the very same university that US President, Barack Hussein Obama, praised in his address to the Islamic world: “For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning.” “It was Islam at places like Al-Azhar that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s renaissance and enlightenment.”
Cairo (AINA) — Christian in Egypt are up in arms this week over a controversial book issued as a free supplement with this month’s Al-Azhar magazine, describing Christianity as a Religion of “idolatry” and claiming that the Holy Bible is a misquotation of the original one. The book was published by State-owned corporations that are financed by taxpayers, Christians as well as Muslims.
The controversial book is titled “Scientific Report” and authored by Dr. Muhammad Imarah, a member of Al-Azhar’s Islamic Research Academy (IRA), which is affiliated with the Ministry of Religious Endowments. The book discusses Christian dogma, casts doubts over it, and asserts that Christianity is a “religion of polytheism.”

“Indeed our hearts are weakened, our minds are confused, and the powers of the body wasted because of the dire misfortunes which brought religious persecutions upon us from the two ends of the world, the East and the West, “so that the enemies were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side.” (Joshua 8:22).’
I think I shall alter my namesake to “Muhammad ha-meshugga” from al Kidya.
Muhammad ha Meshuga means “Muhammad the Madman”.
“Inasmuch as the Muslims could not find a single proof in the entire Bible nor a reference or possible allusion to their prophet which they could utilize, they were compelled to accuse us saying, “You have altered the text of the Torah, and expunged every trace of the name of Mohammed therefrom.” They could find nothing stronger than this ignominious argument.”

It seems things have not changed in 1000 years. Islam remains Islam.
It will never reform.
This is a very excellent commentary by Ibn Warraq.
Hahhh!
Wasn’t the Bible written before Mohammed was born?
I like their logic [not].
The wise man tries to find similarities, which chains one to each other, to make “One” from thousands of people,….”One God”.
On the other hand, there are people, who want to disperse, hate and kill. This is the contrary to.
