Joseph adopted Jesus as his own son, and treated him as his own despite the fact jesus was not. but the difference between Jesus and your prophet is that jesus fortold that people would deny following him, but what did they do so afterwards? They spread his word ad the word of God, and proclaimed for all who could to hear. The bible teaches that all, every single man, woman and child will be saved by him, no matter what. And those who believe in the Son of God will be have enternal life with him (unless they did not have a chance to hear the good news) also i do remind you, you cannot use the bible as evidence of how your write as you do not believe in it as we do. However we have continually proved how the Quran has mistakes, yet you blindly continually say that it is correct. You are lucky that God is willing to forgive anyone, because if God was really like how islam puts it, none of us would live in eternal life. Not onlly did Jesus prophesie that people would deny him but he prophesied that Peter would deny hom three times before the cock crowed. It came too pass it happened. Jesus also prophesied that he would be crucified, would die and be buried. He also prophesied he would descent into hell for three days and three nights and then arise from the grave. It all came too pass. He was crucified because He said He waas the Son of God and because of his prophesies. In fact Pilate said "I can find no fault in Him". That is when Pilate agreed to free Barrabas instead of Jesus because of the Jewish Leaders demands. Jesus' half brother Thomas witnessed Him be crucified, die and buried. Upon his resurection Thomas, his half brother Thomas did not believe He was Jesus until he (Thomas) saw the wounds and placed his hand in the wounds. You are correct, MUQ does not understand the Bible because he does not believe it is the Word of God. I am still awaitng to for MUQ to list the Miracles of Mo. Who did he raise from the dead, did he prophesy the future of his life, did he heal a deaf man, a blind person and a woman of her issues for just believing? Did Mo experience all the temptations man could experience and did not sin? We know Mo was born in sin, led a sinful life and died a sinner. Nope, Mo lived, died and was buried and as all is now ashes and dirt as all mortal men.

One way that Christian principles impact on Western law is the human rights issue. A bill of rights, for example, does not 'grant' rights to individuals, it acknowledges that these rights already exist. The writings of John Locke (and the US Declaration of Independence) follow this idea when they state that government is based on the inalienable rights of individuals. In a republic, the rights of citizens are expressed in terms of what the government is forbidden to do. In totalitarian governments, including theoracies, although the people may have theoretical rights, the power ultimately is with the government, not the people. Western culture has always held the belief that common law was founded upon God’s revealed moral absolutes and that law is based upon God’s revealed commandments. And that law is NOT based upon human opinion or sociological convention, but derived from biblical principles of morality. This belief seems to be declining.

You are right that you have freedom to choose whatever denominations you want to belong to. That is the part of freedom of choice which each individual has and on that basis he will be judged in the hereafter.
But before joining any Church Denomination, you should verify as to how close to Jesus’ original teaching is that denomination.
You have the same freedom to label any one as heretic, but your declaration is not binding on God, Each of hundreds of these Church Denominations are labeling each other as heretic. So your decision comes as no surprise to me.
God does not have to check into the Book of Lamb of God, God’s own knowledge is perfect and superiors to any Lamb, Cow, Sheep or Camel. He decides who is suitable for hell or heaven. We all strive for His mercy and His grace to save us from punishment.
Peace be to you also.

You decide about any country from available data. If you are biased against any country and think that crime rate is low, because it is not reported, then there is no solution for such talks.
There is no Saudi Law that bans private practice of other religions by their adherents. You have to prove existence of any such law. I told that public worship of other religions is banned due to the reason given by me.
Yes people love money more than their religion, that is the reason they go to such a country. They curse it all the time and at the same time take full advantage of its economy and ear lot of money for themselves and their families. If religion was that important to them, they should not have given them in the first place. Why only Pilipino, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Americans, British, Australian and persons of every country are sharing Saudi Arabian pie. It is an act of ingratitude that they enjoy its fruits and then curse it also.
If Gospels were inspired by Holy Spirit, they would not have clear contradictions. If the Gospel writers were free to write whatever they thought, then it is not Word of God any more. I told you about two genealogies of Jesus. What were the two different angles to look at it?

The reason is not difficult to see. When I see so many biased people from Australia on these threads, the reason is clear. However we are hopeful to increase our base there also.
I do not deny that every year many people accept Christianity. But there is a interesting statistics, Christianity is in decline in Traditional Christian country, but in third world and Africa is on rise. Is it not strange?
If you think Christmas and Annual youth festivals show that your laws are based on Christianity, then you have no concept of what is meant by laws.

I do not use Bible for reference to us, it is for you, that I sometimes quote its passage. It is similar to as you quote Quranic passages against us. Quranic passages have authority for us and not you. This is a standard practice in any dialogue.

There is indeed no end to this discussion since it is based on subjective analysis.
Only future will tell what the events will come to in the end. You may feel that White race will never find Islamic laws attractive, my assertion is that when they see the benefits of Islamic laws without bias, they would be first to adopt it.
So instead of arguing for some thing which only future can reveal, we should each be happy in our own subjective thoughts.

Episode-16 “Flight of Muslims to Medina”
When the news of Islam taking roots in Medina reached Prophet, he advised his followers to Migrate there. This was the third Flight by Muslims (after the first two to Abyssinia) to abandon their homes for the sake of religion and to escape persecution of their oppressors. It was a proof that love of religion is paramount and takes precedence over family ties, wealth, business and even love of Motherland (or Fatherland, which ever phrase you use).
The Flight to Medina showed many scenes for historians and those interested in matters of faiths:
Flight of Abu Salamah:
His family consisted of wife and one suckling child. When he mounted the camel with his family, his in-laws came and snatched his wife away, saying he cannot take her with him. Then his relatives came and snatched the baby from mother's arm, saying that he belonged to them. Abu Salamah left Medina alone, asking his wife to keep perseverance. The wife had only one job, to go out and weep whole day by the roadside. After almost one year, they took mercy on her plight, and allowed her to go to Medina with her son. She left alone on a single camel with her son in her arms and joined her husband.(Later she became wife of prophet when her husband died in the battle of OHAD)
Flight of Zainab daughter of prophet:
She was pregnant at that time, when she mounted the camel; her in laws came and said she cannot leave Makkah in broad day light like that. It would be shameful for them. One man hit the camel and she fell down from camel and had miscarriage. That wound ultimately led to her death after two years. Prophet called her "His Best Daughter" who suffered in cause of religion.
Flight of Suhaib the Roman:
He was blacksmith by profession. When he migrated, Makkah people stopped him saying "You came to our city empty handed, all this wealth is ours, you cannot leave the city with this wealth". He asked "would you allow me to go, if I leave all this wealth?". They agreed and he left all his wealth in Makkah and left empty handed. "Suhaib has made a good bargain" Replied prophet.
Flight of Omar:
That is most illustrious. When Omar decided to migrate. He took bath, took his full armor, went to Kaaba, and made seven rounds around it. Then he told all people present there, "Tomorrow I am leaving for Medina… if any one has courage to stop me, let him meet me tomorrow at such and such place". No one dared to come there.
Abu Bakr also wanted to Migrate, but prophet stopped him and asked him to remain in Makkah. Within a few months, Most Muslims migrated to Medina except Prophet, Abu Bakr, Ali and a few others.

“You decide about any country from available data. If you are biased against any country and think that crime rate is low, because it is not reported, then there is no solution for such talks.”
Well no one can determine the crime rate of a country when the majority of sexual abuse crimes against women go un-reported, it is a proven fact from many NGOs
“There is no Saudi Law that bans private practice of other religions by their adherents. You have to prove existence of any such law. I told that public worship of other religions is banned due to the reason given by me.”
There is such a law, why do you think Customs officials in Saudi Arabia confiscate bibles rosary beads etc. if they find them on you? Why also to the religious police in Saudi Arabia attack people who openly practice non- Islamic faiths? Isn’t that obviously stating that there is a law against non- muslim religions?
“Yes people love money more than their religion, that is the reason they go to such a country. They curse it all the time and at the same time take full advantage of its economy and ear lot of money for themselves and their families. If religion was that important to them, they should not have given them in the first place. Why only Pilipino, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Americans, British, Australian and persons of every country are sharing Saudi Arabian pie. It is an act of ingratitude that they enjoy its fruits and then curse it also.”
Well I as FILIPINO (that’s how we spell it) say that people don’t not love money more than religion, they go to Saudi Arabia for Money to LIVE, without money it is hard to survive, even the most conservative of religious leaders in Christianity do not deny the reality that money is needed for survival, but it doesn’t mean that money is put first and then religion. I do remind you, I don’t ‘enjoy’ the fruits of the Saudi Arabia economy and I live quite a happy life with no complaints, God gives me everything he thinks I need.
“If Gospels were inspired by Holy Spirit, they would not have clear contradictions. If the Gospel writers were free to write whatever they thought, then it is not Word of God any more. I told you about two genealogies of Jesus. What were the two different angles to look at it?”
The Gospels is what the human’s saw of our saviour Jesus Christ. When we say the Gospel is the word of the Lord, we mean that what is INSIDE the gospel, the teachings, the quotations of Jesus and the OT are the words of God, but the descriptions aren’t they are the word of man that are used to connect what the writers saw of God’s word, Jesus’ word. The Gospels aren’t quite specific on which side of Jesus family the two family trees come from, but one may be from Mary’s family and the other from Joseph’s, I am no expert but that’s they way I believe it is.
“I said that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the World, It is fastest growing religion in USA and it is the fastest growing religion in Europe. Australia could be an exception to this rule. The reason is not difficult to see. When I see so many biased people from Australia on these threads, the reason is clear. However we are hopeful to increase our base there also.”
Immigration is the thing that makes Islam the fastest growing religion in Europe, or did they not tell you about the hundreds of thousands of Muslims fleeing countries like Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, the Sudan, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, Tunisia, to live in places like Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the UK and the USA and that’s what give them the higher Muslim growth rates. You say that we are biased, but clearly you don’t see that fact that we are biased because you and your utter bigot and biased statement of Christianity, and I would like an answer to that statement from you.

Actually not true, those who visit Church is in decline, but it doesn’t mean they renounce Christian beliefs, many just do not have the time to attend church but continue to profess a faith, a non- muslim faith. But you also say that Christianity is on the rise in third world nations, well that just proves to you that Christianity appeals to those who are needy, and that despite what happens to them God loves them, no matter what religion they belong to.
“If you think Christmas and Annual youth festivals show that your laws are based on Christianity, then you have no concept of what is meant by laws. Festivals and gatherings are not the thing which are controlled by laws. It is the Criminal, Social, Economical laws, which are backbone of any country’s laws.“
Well obviously neither do you, these holidays, Christmas, Easter, etc. are public holidays, which means they are apart of the law which honours these festivals. The Criminal code of Australia is English Common Law, which in turn is turn is based on Christian English principals. He bible is the backbone of all Western nation laws, even JAPAN and SOUTH KOREA, traditionally non- Christian countries, have laws that are based on Christian Principles. Also Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation doesn’t recognise Islamic law, but Christian based, Roman- Dutch law.
“Only future will tell what the events will come to in the end. You may feel that White race will never find Islamic laws attractive, my assertion is that when they see the benefits of Islamic laws without bias, they would be first to adopt it.”
Well I, apart of the white race don’t find Islamic laws attractive, and ask any Australia neither do they. Ask Filipinos, neither do they, Ask those Africans, neither do they, Ask Americans, neither do they. Ask the Europeans neither do they, because if they did, we would all be moving towards an Islamic society, not further from.

It is very wrong conclusion you draw that Bible teaches peace to the world and Quran teaches to kill the unbelievers. If that was the case, Christians would have been the most peaceful people on this earth. But if you know their history, they have killed more humans on earth than all other religions combined!!!. Just compare the numbers of humans killed in WW-1 & WW-2 itself, where most of people killed were by Christians.
You keep on harping that crime rate in Saudi Arabia is low, because it is not recorded or reported. With such logic you can prove any country to be safest or dangerous as you wish. I cannot comment on such logic.
The duty of state is also to safeguard morals of its population. This concept is not followed in your countries, so it looks strange to you. But as per Islamic laws, the state should see to it that immoral activates are not done openly. That is the purpose of special section of Saudi Arabian department. But they do not snoop into the houses and watch private actions of individuals.
It is your own concocted definition of the Word of God. The real word of God is the revelation which God gave to prophets and what they taught to their follows. If every Gospel writer was free to write what he thought that the message should be, then these are words of men and not words of God. Quran is verbatim collection of what was revealed to our prophet and that is why it is Word of God and nothing else.
It is only your assumption that one Gospel writer traced Mary’s family and another Joseph’s family. The books do not say so. And What Joseph ahs to do in the genealogy of Jesus?
It is very strange for you to say that it is only immigration which is making Islam fastest growing religion in the world. Can you name any country which only allows Muslim immigration? If one Muslim immigrates to any country then five non Muslims also immigrate to that country, how could that make only Islam as fastest growing religion? This is the bias which you show always show towards Islam, not to accept any of its good point.
You are right that majority of world population is not Muslim, then for that reason majority of world population is not Christian also. Would that make Christianity a false religion? At present Christians number more than Muslims in the world. But Christianity came 600 years before Islam and now there is not much difference in the numbers of followers. If you read predictions by your own scholars, Islam will overtake Christianity (in number of followers also) within a couple of decade. And that is despite all out propaganda against Islam by Western media and persons like you.
But I am not surprised, because truth has power of its own. If you would have left Islam and Muslims alone , may be the growth would not have been that fast. But all out negative propaganda is helping in the spread of Islam in your countries. After all there are persons who can think of their own and not rely 100 % on media reports.

Episode-17-A “Prophet’s Flight to Medina”(Planning)
Quraish were observing migrations of Muslims to Medina in ones and twos and small groups. They were certain that Prophet would also join them shortly. They called for a secret meeting to discuss this matter. They knew that if Prophet did make his base in Medina, his mission would propagate very quickly and it would be an end to their unchallenged leadership of Arabian clans.
Many proposals came:
1. Some one said "let us drive him out from our city; let him go any where he wants". Abu JAHL rejected this proposal saying he will go straight to Medina and that we want to avoid.
2. "Then let us imprison him permanently" another said. Abu JAHL replied "Do you think his followers will keep quite? They will attack us and free him"
3. Another said "Then let us kill him" Abu JAHL replied. "What about Bani Hashim, his tribe? They will kill the murderer". They could not reach to any decision.
After some time, Abu JAHL said "I have an idea, let one man from each tribe gather outside his house at night. When he comes out for early dawn prayer, let them kill him jointly. His tribe will not be able to fight all the clans at once and will accept blood money, which we will pay easily".
Every one liked this idea and they named persons and night for this dastardly attack. Prophet was informed of their secret plan by Gabriel. Prophet also got permission to use the same night for his flight to Medina.
Abu Bakr was secretly planning for the journey. He had received enough signs that he might accompany Prophet in the journey. He had fattened two she camels and had also made provisions for the journey. He had even hired a guide, a Pagan, but reliable man, who would take them to Medina by a not so well known route (by the way that shows that Islam does not prohibit taking help from others, even in such critical situations).
One day at exact noon hour, Prophet came to house of Abu Bakr and told that Allah has permitted him to go to Medina. Abu Bakr asked about his companionship, prophet nodded and Abu Bakr' eyes were full with tears of Joy. He would have undivided attention of prophet for more than two weeks!!! They planned to leave during late night hour.
It was the same night, when Quraish had planned to ambush Prophet. Prophet asked his cousin Ali to sleep on his bed and left the house after midnight. Ten or twelve would be attackers were fast asleep, he went straight to house of Abu Bakr, and they both left city of Makkah. Abu Bakr took all the money he had in his house for expenses of journey.
They took a route in apposite direction of Medina and took refuge in a cave called THOUR, which is situated around three miles from Makkah, in the direction of Yemen. When attackers woke at sunrise and found Ali emerging from bed of prophet they were confounded, they went for searching Prophet and Abu Bakr.
They announced reward of 100 camels for any one giving news of their whereabouts or capturing them. During this search operation, some one came very close to the Cave where Prophet was hiding, Abu Bakr was alarmed and said "O Messenger of Allah, if they just looked down, they will see us". Prophet kept his cool and said "Don’t be alarmed, Allah is with us" 'What would you say of the two, whom the third is Allah". That calmed Abu Bakr.
During night hours Abdullah the son of Abu Bakr used to visit the cave and inform news of the city and results of Search Operation. At the end of three days, Makkan abandoned their search operation and decided that Prophet has somehow slipped thru their nets. It was a matter of shame and sorrow for them.
