Obviously I am speaking of the oncoming war which Islamist extremist look to start. Understand that this is not an inditement of a billion plus followers who follow the teachings in the Koran. It is important to note, that Alah is just another name for God the Father, spoken in an Arab tongue. For the Arab people are a proud race, with a rich and diverse culture. A culture of many tribes, some who come from royalty, and some just of the common man.
So what has happened? If Jehovah is God, and Allah is God, what is the problem, and when did things change? Make no mistake, the extremist quote the Prophet Mohammed perfectly, you can see his words and teachings in black and white print in the Koran. But there was another prophet who came approximately seven hundred years before Mohammed's birth, I speak of course, of Jesus Christ.
Seven hundred years between these two men, is nothing when you consider it within the context of history, and certainly not, when thought of against the enormity of time eternal.
So then, two men enter the world, each hailed as a prophet, one of Arab ancestry, and one who was born in the city of David. Two men whose influence in the shaping of all human interactions from that point forward. Two men, two prophets who affect our world still, from some two thousand years later.
Two men whose teachings stand in sharp contrast to each other, two men who are at the center of what this war is all about.
