MY STORY OF HOW THE LORD CAME TO ME
last year in september my hubby, ..and i came to the lord from the bondage that is islam..
weve been through so much.. heres our story
i brought up in a nominal catholic family.. my dad took me to mass.. but the whole feel of the church had no affect on me.. i loved the god. and i longed for him.. i just didnt know where to find him..
and then i met this girl at school and she was a nominal muslim... i started to become very close to her.. like sisters.. i was at her house everyday.. her family where very religious muslims.. and i respected that.. seeing how my family wernt stict religious people.. her family were so welcoming.. they soon became my new family.. and soon after that it mad me question the god i was taught to belive in. i started to read the bible... but the words werent going to my heart....and she told me so much things about islam that i agreed with.. she didnt know much about islam her self... but i studied some censerd books on islam.. i read the entire quran and then soon became a muslim... 6 months later i meet my now husband on a islamic forum on the internet.... his coming to islam was similar to mine.. he became a muslim at age of 12 unbelivbly .. he always as a young boy had that longing passion to find god...just as i did.. so he after 8 months dame to australia to visit me.. and we decided to get married.. so a year later we were married under islamic law... we then moved into the an islamic town we lived only houses down form the main mosque.. and my husband started to meet all kinds of muslims.. the majorty of muslim were arabic so it was acommunication barrier fro him.. soon started to slowing stop practicing islam.. and this uptset me greatly at the time my husband was going to university at the time.. and also he wore the traditional islamic clothing so he stuck out like glue.. and on his last day of uni hubby passed by a christian book stall .. and on it .. were books talking about how wrong islam is.. he had never seen anything like this..and the christian man at the stall gave hubby a flyer talking about jesus christ. hubby respected the fact that the man knew so much about islam.. more than my hubby did.. he invited the man over our house.. i was there also to listen to what the man had to say... i was very reluctant..the man showed us disturbing truths about islam we never could have imagined... so many things! the man was at how house for over 8 hours of discusing islam...after that night.. my husband left islam..it hurt me so much to think ive put my love and devotion into such a demonic religion.. when your muslim it has such a fearful hold on you.. it a was much harder for me to let go.. so i stayed a muslim out of fear.. my husband spent alot of time with that christian man.. and other brilliant christian.. he then meet an excellent reverend .. he has a PRESBYTERIAN church not far from the islamic town its and it was hard for me to meet all those new people so my husband was my only sourse of christian informaton..2 weeks later amasingly.. the lord jesus christ chose me..and i asked him to forgive my sins and to come into my life~ praise be to the lamb of god!!
hubby and i were baptised in the Presbyterian church soon after.. the church then even organised a christian wedding for us which was such a beautiful thing for them to do...
we came across some problems.. because remember we were living in the islamic capitol of australia. and living there hubby thankfully couldnt stop talking about the lord to muslim man his faith is tremendous.. but living there became dangerous.. hubby as a muslim met some men involved in terriost orgasnisation.. he never joined with them he just knew them..if they were to find out about our leaving islam we would have been killed..as it says in the Quran "if muslims leave islam ,kill them"..
the reverened was disgusing this with another chritian.. and coincidentally that christian was going to be leaving his home unocupied for 2 years.. so hubby and i praise be to jesus. were able to leave the islamic town and move into a beautiful safe house..
hubby and i just arrived to the us 3 days ago.. we are now back with his family.. their beautiful people.. hubby decided he wanted to come back to help his family to come to lord.. and where trying to find a good church to join and attend,, so i just wanted tell you guys my story i hope it wasnt too long god bless
love Zaierah

okay theres really no need to know islam..just to know the lord jesus christ.. but i will tell some of what i know as there are soo many horrors of islam..

here are some verses how jihad is a must in islam
[9.38] ...Go forth in Allah's way [to Jihad]... [9.39] If you do not go forth [to go on Jihad], He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you [to go on Jihad]...

K 9:024-026 -Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

These are some unbelievable digusting vereses of the muslim Quran
"Men are superior to women, and a man is better than a woman."[8]

"Allah's Apostle once said to a group of women : 'I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious, sensible man could be led astray by some of you.' The women asked: 'O Allah's Apostle, what is deficient in our intelligence and religion?' He said: 'Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?' They replied in the affirmative. He said: 'This is the deficiency of your intelligence' ... 'Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?' The women replied in the affirmative. He said: 'This is the deficiency in your religion.'"[14]

"The woman's share of intellect does not reach man's level."[16]

"In the company of women, looking at them, and playing with them, the soul is refreshed, the heart is rested, and the man is strengthened to the worship of God...this is why God said: 'That he might rest in her.' (Q. 7:189)"[24]
"Allah, the most high, decreed that the woman should be veiled. He did so in protecting the chastity of the men who might see her, and not in protection of the chastity of the woman from the eyes of those who look at her."[32]
"The messenger of Allah said: Whenever a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and then he passes the night in an angry mood, the angels curse her till she gets up at dawn."[39]
"Whosoever female dies while her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise."[45]
"The prophet once said to a woman: 'Watch how you treat your husband for he is your Paradise and your Hell."[46]
"Had I ordered anybody to prostrate before any one, I would have ordered women to prostrate before their husbands on account of men's rights over the women ordained by Allah."[47]
"If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back."[48]
"If blood, suppuration, and pus, were to pour from the husband's nose and the wife licked it with her tongue, she would still never be able to fulfil his rights over her."[49]
Ibn Kathir in his commentary mentioned a Hadith on the authority of zal Ash'ath Ibn al-Qays who was visiting 'Omar and at that time. 'Omar took his wife and beat her, then said to Ash'ath:
'Memorise three things from me, which I memorised from the prophet who said: "The man is not to be asked why he beat his wife ..."'[62]
"Ali who was the most ascetic of all the companions had four wives, and seventeen slave girls as concubines."[86]
God made the provision of having sex with many slave girls as easy as marrying one free woman. Besides, the responsibilities and provisions of the slave girls are lighter than those of the dowers, no matter (never mind) if you have a few of them or many, no matter if you were fair in apportioning your nights amongst them or not, no matter whether you completed the sexual act or not."[88]
"No woman should give trouble and anxiety to her husband. She is to give him ease and comfort in the household. If she acts otherwise, she will not be able to be his mate in Paradise. There the pure-eyed virgin girls will be his consorts."
"The Holy Prophet said: 'The believer will be given such and such strength in Paradise for sexual intercourse. It was questioned: O prophet of Allah! can he do that? He said: "He will be given the strength of one hundred persons.'"[104]
MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO PREVENT HIS WIFE FROM CARING FOR HER CHILD FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE
The implications of the sexual rights secured by the payment of this dowry extend to affect children of a previous marriage:
"The husband has the right to prevent his wife from looking after and breast feeding her baby, from her previous husband, (if she was living in the husband's house), because that will make her too busy to attend to the husband, and it will affect her beauty and cleanliness, all these are the rights of the husband alone."[133] (Hanafites)
SPIRITUAL STANDING OF WOMEN
The Hadith describes the good wife as follows:
"The virtuous wife, if her husband bids her, she obeys him; if he looks at her, she pleases him; if he gives her an oath; she fulfils it, and if he is absent from her, she guards herself and his property."[142] (Ibn Magah)
"The best women are those who have the prettiest faces and the cheapest dowry."[143]

A COMPARISON BETWEEN MUHAMMED AND JESUS CHRIST



Mohammed was the prophet of war;
Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).

Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith;
Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Timothy 4:7).

Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels";
Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Timothy 1:13-15).

Mohammed was the taker of life;
Christ was the giver of life (John 10:27-2 cool .

Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands;
Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:4 cool .

Mohammed's method was COMPULSION;
Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19).

Mohammed practiced FORCE;
Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29,35).

Mohammed was a WARRIOR;
Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10).

Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword;
Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Acts 2:37).

Mohammed said to the masses, "Convert or die!";
Christ said, "Believe and live!" (John 6:47; 11:25-26).

Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Romans 3:15-17);
Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Ephesians 1:7).

Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!";
Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels;
Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Colossians 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33).

Mohammed constrained people by conquest;
Christ constrained people by love (2 Corinthians 5:14).

Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god;
Christians derive their inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9).

Modern day disciples of Mohammed respond to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets;
Modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).

Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder;
Many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21).

Muhammed said the Koran is authoritative only in Arabic, and only in his dialect;
The Bible is authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and can inspire His Word in more than one language.

Muhammed hated music;
Jesus and His disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle commanded the Lord's Church to sing. (Matthew 26:30, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16)

Muhammed allowed that a Mullah, Imam, or Mufti of Islam can be a terrorist and moral animal like Osama bin Laden;
The Bible requires that a leader in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be above reproach, and when this is not true, Christians demand such a fallen leader be removed from leadership. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, 5:19-20)

Islam calls on its followers to observe Five Pillars, while all other aspects of life can be vulgar and not affect the Muslim's prospects in Paradise.
The Bible calls on the Christian to submit to the total change of his life by the Spirit of God-- NO area of life and thought is the choice of the follower. (Romans 12:1-2)

The Muslim looks forward to eternity in Paradise where there will be virgins who are used for eternal perpetual copulation.
The Bible believing Christian looks forward to being with Jesus Christ and is delighted with that. (2 Corinthians 5: cool

Muhammed said the witness of a woman was half the value of the witness of a man; and Muhammed said a women goes to Paradise because she satisfies her husband sexually;
The Bible teaches that a husband is to love his wife and be willing to die for her. (Ephesians 5:25)

Mohammed called upon his servants to fight;
Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . .but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36)

Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369);
Christ ordered that the gospel be preached "to the Jew first" (Romans 1:16).

The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244);
The Bible says, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4).

The Koran says, "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them" (Qu'ran 9.5);
Christ said, "Preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12);
God inspires His terror into the hearts of believers (Isaiah 8:13).

The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam;
T he Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Romans 10:15).

Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah;
Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:1 cool .

Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet;
Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matthew 24:11).

Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah;
Christ claimed that He was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9).

Islam is geocentric, that is, the whole universe is centered on the Kaaba in the Grand mosque in Mecca in Arabia, and all Muslims pray facing that direction;
Jesus Christ is the center of all Christian worship and fellowship, for He is "in the midst" where his saints meet anywhere on earth. (Matthew 18:20, John 4:22-23)

Mohammed's Tomb: OCCUPIED!
Christ's tomb: EMPTY!

Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it:
The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for "whosoever will" to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17, John 3:16)

Those who leave Islam are killed in most Islamic nations;
Those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are allowed to do so with no revenge.

Now, is a Muslim submitted to Allah and Islam because he loves Allah?
NO!
He dare not leave Islam, and he is loyal purely out of fear.

The true Bible believer is loyal to Jesus Christ purely out of love.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.

This concept is 100% alien to Islam-- There is no love in Islam-- Only fear and hate.

any time i belive that christians need to know the truth of islam
before the lies of it desive you heart
PostPosted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 8:59 pm


FACT:
90%-95% OF ALL THE CONFLICTS ON THIS PLANET TODAY
INVOLVE MUSLIMS FIGHTING NON-MUSLIMS OR EACH OTHER!
ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

FACT:
1.4 BILLION Muslims in the World
280 Million Americans
5½ Million Israelis Surrounded by 350 Million Arab Muslims!!!

FACT:
OVER THE LAST FIFTY YEARS...
The world population of Christians increased by 47%
The world population of Buddhists increased by 63%

Quaranic verses
-- Allah loves those who "fight for his cause" (Sura 61:3).
Know that paradise is under the shades of swords. Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55
A Muslim must "fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him" (Sura 22:7
- If a Muslim does not go to war, Allah will kill him (Sura 9:39). He is to be told, "the heat of war is fierce, but more fierce is the heat of Hell-fire" (Sura 9:81).

Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)" (Hadith 4:52:196)

to me that hate..enough but then muslim with use the excuse..thats the hadith not quaran they have soo many excuses

O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil). (9:123)
but that quran...how can he justifie that~!!! i would like to know!~!
