25. The English word "trinity" is derived from Latin trinitas , meaning "the number three, a triad". The first recorded use of this Greek word in Christian theology (although not about the Divine Trinity) was by Theophilus of Antioch in about 170 AD. The first C hurch Council of Nicaea (325 AD) said little about the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit was developed by Athanasius in the last decades of his life. He defended and refined the Nicene formula. By the end of the 4th century , under the leadership of Basil of Caesarea , Gregory of Nyssa , and Gregory of Nazianzus (the Cappadocian Fathers ), the doctrine had reached substantially its current form . Some historical facts : The establishing of the “trinity” theology

26. Quotes from the Quran: Just like the Bible (the New Testament) is the basis for Christian theology, the Quran is the basis of the Muslim religion

27. More

28. “The teachings of Muhammad (Allah) is rooted in love and peace and a hearth to serve the God of Abraham ” Most will agree:

29. Don’t forget Allah's words in the Quran : "It may be that Allah will grant love between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For Allah has power (over all things); And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who are just." - Quran 60:7-8

30. Unfortunately many so-called Christians use the name pf our Lord as a swear word. What will also surprise the Christians is the fact that the Muslim does not speak the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Eesa, alaihi assalam. (" Jesus, peace be upon him) One persons answer: As Muslims we have no choice. We had said in many words: ” WE BELIEVE IN ONE CREATOR, WE BELIEVE IN ALL HIS PROPHETS, WE BELIEVE, THAT JESUS (peace be upon him) WAS ONE OF THE MIGHTIEST PROPHETS OF GOD, THAT HE WAS THE MESSIAH AS WELL AS THE WORD OF GOD, THAT HE WAS BORN MIRACULOUSLY- WITHOUT ANY MALE INTERVENTION (which many modern-day Christians do not believe today),THAT HE GAVE LIFE TO THE DEAD BY GOD’S PERMISSION, AND THAT HE HEALED THOSE BORN BLIND AND THE LEPERS BY GOD’S PERMISSION.” Yahoo Q and A: Do Muslims love Jesus?

31. Islam h ijacked by extremists

32. All religions have their extremists that are pure evil a nd operate outside the teachings of their official faith / religion.

33. The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Latin Roman Catholic Church during the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages. In 1095 Pope Urban II proclaimed the First Crusade with the stated goal of restoring Christian access to holy places in and near Jerusalem. This went on for 200 years . It became a bloodbath where thousands u pon thousands of Muslims were killed. Christianity have had their share of evil representatives: Christian Jihad : The Crusades and killing in the Name of Christ

34. Christianity have had their share of evil representatives: The catholic church burning dissidents at the stake Estimated number: 100.000 to as many as 500.000

35. Christianity have had their share of evil representatives: Hitler / the Nazi's killing Jews Estimated number killed: 6 million+ This warped Aryan brand of Christianity pertained to a dominant race and national culture. The Nazi's combined a distorted and exclusive ( A ryan only)kind of Christianity with old European pagan occultism. Of course this played into the extreme anti-Semitism.

36. Some so-called Christians c an sometimes act l ike morons… They stare up evil and hate In people around the world

37. From a Muslim website:

38. “ Jihad by the sword ” “Holy war ” take place by “small” but dangerous Muslim extremist groups. These people are evil – S atan inspired. T hey have hijacked ISLAM. They are not representatives of the God of Islam…

39. Al-Qaeda Flag Osama Bin Laden, Terrorist

40. These people are not representing “true Islam” More moderate Muslims should speak up against extremism. But they risk being killed if they do. (Just like Germans speaking up against t he Nazi's were killed) Let’s say it again:

41. From a Muslim website:

42. Islam Explained By Dr. Amir M. Ali, Ph.D .

43. Does Islam Say: "Kill The Infidels"? This is absolutely not true and it is quite easy to prove. We know the Quran orders believers to fight in combat against those who are the oppressors, aggressors and terrorists and those who are assaulting and killing the innocent men, women and children. But it gives out clear orders - NOT to fight against those who are not fighting against you – groups or individuals. There is not such a meaning in the Quran, ordering or even permitting the Muslims to ever attack innocent people whether they are Christians, Jews, or any other faith for that matter. Combat is only ordered against those who are attacking or killing the innocent Muslims or fighting against the established Muslim state. Scholars of Quran tell us the verses dealing with this topic are specific and not intended to imply a general meaning for just anyone to decide to go around combating non-Muslims 1

44. DEFENDING ISLAM AND THE COMMUNITY: Allah declares in the Quran: "To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to defend themselves), because they are wronged - and verily, Allah is Most Powerful to give them victory - (they are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right - (for no cause) except that they say, 'Our Lord is Allah'..." [Noble Quran 22:39-40] The Quran permits fighting to defend the religion of Islam and the Muslims. This permission includes fighting in self-defence and for the protection of family and property. The early Muslims fought many battles against their enemies under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or his representatives. For example, when the pagans of Quraysh brought armies against Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Muslims fought to defend their faith and community [3]. The Quran adds: " Fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress limits. Lo! Allah loves not aggressors . ...And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against transgressors . " [Noble Quran 2:190, 193] 2

45. DEFENDING THROUGH PREEMPTIVE STRIKES : Indeed , it is difficult to mobilize people to fight when they see no invaders in their territory; however, those who are charged with responsibility see dangers ahead of time and must provide leadership. The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him), had the responsibility to protect his people and the religion he established in Arabia. Whenever he received intelligence reports about enemies gathering near his borders he carried out pre-emptive strikes, broke their power and dispersed them [6]. Allah ordered Muslims in the Quran: "Fighting is prescribed upon you, and you dislike it. But it may happen that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. And Allah knows and you know not." [Noble Quran 2:216] 3

46. What Does Islam Say about Terrorism? The term "terrorism" does not exist in the Quran or the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. If the terms "terrorist or terrorism" are derived from a verb used in the Quran, such as 5:33 describing a "Muslim's" terrorist acts, it is in condemnation and prescribes most severe punishment . Islam is a religion of mercy, unity and most importantly peace with one's self and others, to defend not to fight. Book the Quran : " God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal justly with them. God loves just dealers." [Noble Quran 60:8] "Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not begin aggression , for God loves not aggressors ." [Noble Quran 2:190] " If they seek peace, then seek you peace and trust in God for He is the Hearer, the Knower." [Noble Quran 8:61] 4

47. "But (remember that an attempt at) requiting evil may, too, become an evil: hence whoever pardons (his foe) and makes peace, his reward rests with Allah- for, verily He does not love transgressors." [Noble Quran 42:40] "The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! He between whom and thee there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a bosom friend. [Noble Quran 41:34] Some of the Prophet Muhammad's Teachings :( Sunnah) He prohibited Muslim soldiers from killing women, children and the elderly and he advised them, "do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child ." "The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed." Killing is the second major sin in Islam. " There is a reward for kindness shown to every living human ." 5

48. Differential treatment Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the basic tenants of Islam. When Timothy McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma City building, no American or Christian was labeled as a terrorist or was the target of hate crimes. When Irish Christians carry out acts of terrorism against each other and on the British Isles, the Christian religion is not blamed but individuals or their political agenda. Unfortunately , the same is not true for American Muslims and Arabs. The vast majority of Muslims or Arabs have no association with the violent events around the world yet Islam is invoked with terrorism. It is unfair to 1.5 billion Muslims of the world and religion of Islam. 6

49. "O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah's witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to Piety and fear Allah. And Allah is well acquainted with all that you do." [Noble Quran 5:8] In conclusion , jihad in Islam is STRIVING IN THE WAY OF ALLAH by pen , tongue, hand, media and, if inevitable, with arms. However, jihad in Islam does not include striving for individual or national power, dominance, glory, wealth, prestige or pride. 7

50. We can see these verse are not designed to promote terrorism, but rather these are very orders from Above to the Muslims to be the first of those who stand out aggressively against all forms of terrorism and oppression Islamic Holy War? Muslims Killing Jews & Christians? That is what we are told - by the western media. But what is the real truth behind this word JIHAD? Jihad Explained by Dr. Amir Ali, Ph.D. In the West, "jihad" is generally translated as "holy war," a usage the media has popularized. According to Islamic teachings, it is UNHOLY to instigate or start war; 8

51. Who is the God of Islam ?

52. The God of Islam – the God they call Allah, i s the one and only God; t he God called Jehovah in Judaism a nd God (three-in-one) in Christianity.

53. God has many names! “There is no God but Him – I know not of any” Isaiah 44:8

54. God – Allah , The God of Muhammad; i s love and peace, Numerous Quran scriptures tell us so…

55. The God of Islam, The God of Judaism a nd the God of Christian Religion a ll have one thing in common: Their way to God and forgiveness is through mans own works ; Do good – get good, do bad - get bad, a nd pray often and confess regularly, a nd you will (most likely) enter paradise.

56. All religions have many evil and unfaithful representatives… That does not make “the religion” evil… Most of us are able to understand that.

57. True Christianity; t he way Jesus taught us; t he way Paul and the other apostles taught us, i s by believing (faith) in Jesus alone, i n his completed work, his death and resurrection . We can not contribute to our own salvation b y doing “works”… True Christianity is the gift of salvation b y Grace alone.

58. The Jews (Judaism) d on’t recognise Jesus as of any importance: In fact they chose to kill him for what he said he was; But still we love them b ecause God loves them…

59. Islam and Muhammad (at least) recognised Jesus as a great teacher and Prophet; a long with Moses and Abraham. And God loves all one billion of them. And so should we.

60. The Gospel tells us that “Jesus is the only way to God”. That is what we believe and preach… And we preach it to every man and every religion; t o God fearing religious people a nd to unbelievers alike… They will change their opinion on Jesus when they only get to meet him… We believe:

61. It helps to be informed about the facts… Life long learning is good! Sometimes it is good t o see t hings in a new way… And then you make up you own mine!
