Actually, the really answer to this is that it doesn't say "friends." It says "owliya," which means "guardians."

good connection to global warming, its interesting when world history is written it will be from the point of view of Islamistsand not united states and its allieswhich is a shame, but after reading tim weiners a legacy of ashes, weve brought it on ourselves because of tactical failures of 80s and 90sg

But then why would it say treat Jews and Christians well? Why would it say Jews and Christians are going to heaven? The religous scholars are the ones who said that, not me.I'm speaking the truth. You're pulling out lines and you're not explaining it. If we did that with all religous scriptures, no one would believe in God lol You have to look at the historical context.

Sura 5:51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friendsbenjie - you're talking total BS. if the koran had really meant hypocrites, it would had said 'HYPOCRITES'.your jihad propaganda and lies won't work on us, we're not idiotsthe koran said 'jews and christians' because it meant jews and christians.your claim is delusional and ridiculous.just face it, the koran made hostile statements toward jews and christians.stop trying to deny the obvious

Sorry, I meant he wasn't talking about mainstream Christian and Jews.
benjiemooncakes (June 15, 2008 at 11:08 pm)
You see, back then there were people who said they were muslim but they were really not. they were jews and christians. they were like bandits and spies and they killed many innocnet muslims. so thats who God was really talking about in the Quran. Not mainstream muslims because, like i mentioned b4, he grants them heaven.
benjiemooncakes (June 15, 2008 at 11:05 pm)
Ok, then read aya 62 of surah al buqara. it says jews and christians will are granted heaven.now about your line, what that really meant was the HYPOCRITES in the past. See whenever you look at lines in any scripture(quran,bible,torah) you have to look at the historical context. Now like I mentioned, the Quran says God grants Jews and Christians heaven.But when it says lines like yours,what that really is towards are the HYPORCRITES.

i don't know who hage is, and i'm guessing you mean pat robertson. if i am an agent for israeli then that is far more acceptable to me than being an agent for islam.being an agent for isreal isn't an immediate threat to my existence and my country. their is however an urgent threat that islam will subjugate me.i'll defeat islam and then i'll defeat israel.i won't be choking in islam, i'm going to defeat it.
