Because being a muslim today is like being a fat black single mother in the 90's. You can't say anything to that person, or you are sexist, racist, picking on her due to her weight, or anything else. The muslims are now taking that spot. They are associated with terrorists, and our very own Constitution protects them,
You guys are missing the point. The point is, as seen in multiple pictures, that Jesus ended up looking like a distance runner - SKINNY.
Had he done actual PHYSICAL work, like most people back in the day, he would have had broad shoulders and would have been able to defend himself.
Instead he ate BREAD (grain based after all) to share with his "friends" - maybe had he given them MEAT then they would not have ratted him out?
Jesus is considered al-Masih (the Messiah) in Islam. He appears in 93 verses in the Koran.
Jesus was born to a virgin, Maryam, in the Temple of Jerusalem at the decree of Allah. He was sent by Allah to be the last prophet of the Israelites.
Jesus did not die from Crucifixion but was ascended to Heaven by God. He will rise again on the Day of Judgement to battle the devil.

original religion started by Jesus (other religions broke away from the original religion that Jesus started) so I also get upset when anyone but a Roman Catholic priest starts the prayer in Congress!

Stick,
Come back and cop to the stupidity of your post!
St Peter was effectively the founder of Christianity.
The Catholic Church became an extension of The Roman Empire, after it was adopted under Emporer Constantine (hence the name).
The Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church split in the 11th century, so both were founded at the same time.
Many of the practices followed in Roman Catholicism today were speed from Roman pagan tradition. For example, the idea of Nuns came from vestal virgins.

Doubling down on stupid, good tactic.

Why are there endorsements of the judeo/christian god on any gov't building in this country? Because the gov't does on thing and says another...
This country was not founded on judeo/christian values. It was founded on similar principles that are also found in most other world religions.
Should "In God We Trust" be taken off U.S. currency? Yes
Should "under God" be taken out of the pledge of allegiance? Yes
Should any and all references to any deity be removed from gov't memorials, office buildings, etc.? Yes
Should the president of the United States be barred from being sworn in with one hand on the Bible? Yes Why? Because the majority of the country would be in an uproar if we were to elect someone who was sworn in on the Qu'ran, the Bagavad, the Torah or any other holy book.
Get over it, and go home.

So nice of God to come down and tell you his name! So much certainty, on your part, and on the mullahs. Stop and think and you'll perhaps see that you're the same person, just born in different parts of the world. The religion you got from your mom and dad is the only truth. Period.

Where did they get the idea of human sacrifice, cannibalism and vampirism that is the core of their ritual? Every week they go back to have another bite.
I also wonder how a religion thread has lasted nearly 24 hours.
King Henry the VIII invented the protestant religion because the Roman Catholics wouldn't let him divorce his wife!!!So no protestants should not be leading prayers in Congress! No Muslims either, just Catholic priests.

So where are all the other non-Judeo/Christian democratic countries that were founded on those principles you claim are universal? Where are all the great Muslim thriving democracies?
The answer is that there are practically none. Japan is a working democracy after we dethroned their semi-god. But the rest of the developed democratic world is based on Judeo/Christian values.
Uh, India just held the biggest democratic election in the world only a few months ago. Six hundred million people voted in elections across that entire subcontinent (twice the population of the U.S. and half the area of the contiguous states).
More than 90% of the people in India are Hindi and 10% Muslim) with a few Christians. Things like "thou shalt not lie...steal...kill..." are not unique to Christianity despite what some people claim.
That is just not true!

Indonesia - 205 million Muslims (since 1955)
Pakistan - 178 million Muslims (since 1956, interrupted by a few military coups)
India - 178 million Muslims (since 1951)
Bangladesh - 150 million Muslims (since formation)
Nigeria - 75 million Muslims (since 1960, interrupted by a few military coups)
Turkey - 75 million Muslims (since 1923)
Europe/Americas - 50 million Muslims
Add 50 million Muslims living in western democracies and you get to er ... 911 million.
That excludes other smaller countries.
Dates Christian countries became democracies
Portugal 1975
Greece 1975
Spain 1977
Latin America countries 1970s-1990s
Eastern Europe 1990s
(Yes there's a mistake in there).
You do realize that most of what is in the Koran was taken from the Bible, don't you? They are branches on the same tree.

The Old Testament God had a son. The pedophile loving allah did not. The OT had a savior to give his life for all. The koran/allah doesn't. They are nor the same although islam can and encourages lying, they are not the same religion of Abraham.
Obama mocks the Christian Bible yet ALWAYS refers to the 'holy koran"....
If Obama is not the antiChrist, he is certain here to make way for him.
All Ah wrote:Allah is the god of Moses.
You do realize that much of what was written in the bible stems from other religions, right?
Sometimes the truth just hurts.

Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25th as well. Amazing!
The winter solstice also occurs around that time as well. You don't say!
The Greek and Roman gods also fathered other kids. Uhrmagerd!
Who was born first, Jesus or Santa?
