Still think we serve the same God? Still think Islam is a religion of peace?
Dontbefooled666's Blog 
Asalamu alaikum/ peace be upon you
this is discusting. This is not Islam. You can’t find any verse of the Quran and the tradition of the prophet Mohamad Peace be upon him to suggest doing these horrific acts.
May God (Allah the almighty) guide these people to the right path.
Shame on you posting such lies about Islam.
How many bombs have been dropped on Iraqis today?

How many people in Afghanistan kille by the Democrats today:

How many people are killed in Palastine, Bosnia, Chechnia and the rest of the world by the democrast? Millions and it continues.
“Shame on you posting such lies about Islam.”
Lies? Ha. You are the only one lying. There are some sane people that can see what your people are really like. You depend on the foolish ones who can’t/won’t see the truth.
What parent can willingly and happily hurt their child? I suppose the same type of parent that is proud to strap a homicide bomb onto their child’s body.
I don’t know. Who are you to judge something you don’t understand? You probably eat cow, but Indians think this is just as absurd as you think of those people that cut themselves for a martyr. You’re just measuring it with your own scale, while there’s a lot of complex behind it. I’m brazilian, and I don’t think that showing these images and say that these people are violent can have any relation at all. You’re just overreacting, this is a real shame. Try to understand other people, not to judge what you don’t know.
You know, people here in Brazil have a stupid prejudice with north americans, and I keep defending people, cause they do the same you have done there, to judge without any understanding. Humans are complex, don’t try to put them down to nothing. And by the way, the muslim is probably the only religion in history that states against any form of segregation or violence against other religion. Don’t blame a religion because of their people. It’s the same thing to blame a band cause of their stupid fan. And before you critize me, I’m atheistic, but I respect people’s choice.
Most North American Christians share a value that you don’t inflict pain on children, don’t cut children, scar them, etc. While I know that people from anywhere in the world can read my blog, it is aimed at people in the U.S. because we have a shared culture and experience. A lot of things go unsaid, because they don’t need to be stated outright, when talking to people who have the same experience and culture. I think that is something to keep in mind whenever you read something from a foreign source.
You assume that I am measuring with my own scale. I strive not to. I do my best to weigh things against the Word of God (Jehovah)–that is, the Holy Bible. God’s standards are for all mankind, for all time. According to His standards, it is fine to eat cows–but it is idolatry to worship them (as they do in India).
My purpose behind showing these photos was not to prove that Muslims are violent–there is more than enough evidence to support that. My purpose was to show that they do harm to their own children. This is a line that should not be crossed! It is not too many steps down that road to human sacrifice—oh wait, that’s what many Muslim mothers do, when they encourage their sons to be suicide bombers (oops ‘martyrs’) to buy salvation from (the demon god) Allah for their whole family. Think about it.
It is good to understand other people, but there has to be a foundation for your judgment. And yes, we all do judge!!–just some people believe all’s good if done for a reason, while others believe some things are good and others are bad.
My foundation is the Bible, which teaches that some things are good, some things are bad and, according to God, how to discern the difference.
There are other philosophies that say good and bad depend on the situation (situational ethics–I believe it’s part of secular humanism, but I don’t know for sure. I’m not a philosopher). You, therefore, do have a foundation for the way you approve of things, but you may not even be aware of the philosophy that guides your beliefs. When we are ‘educated’ we also adopt a way of looking at the world, a philosophy, that is embedded in our education. We do well, at some point, to realize this and to examine that philosophy.
If we allow understanding to cause us to suspend judgment on what is right and what is wrong, then anything can be justified. The Bible causes me to judge myself too, and to behave differently in order to conform to God’s expectations. We all live once, then die. After we die, we are judged. Because we will be judged based upon God’s laws, He gave us those laws to guide our lives, so we know what we will be judged for later. But NONE of us can perfectly follow His laws! Thankfully He sent His son–Jesus, the Christ–to die on our behalf, to pay for the sins we have committed. Nevertheless, we should live in a way that upholds His laws, for they are the ways of righteousness, life and liberty.
I gotta say. Christians were really attacked in the beggining of your relligion, and now you do the same thing with muslm. My country is christian, so I really understund the unsaid things. All I have to say to you, is that you say that the muslm is a bad thing, but you’re judging a relligion because of a part of the people on it.
It’s the same thing that I judge you cause of the Christians have done and still do. Like stealing money from other faithfuls, and killing people in several wars and Inquisition. Let’s not forget the children all over the world that have suffered on the hands of priests and other christians. It’s not a blame for the religion, but to the people themselves. Do not accuse a belief by a part of the believers, it can be used against you as well. Respect people, if you aren’t capable of understanding, study or leave tem alone.
Islam is based on a book (the Koran) and a ‘prophet’ (Mohammed).
Christianity is based on the book of truth (the Holy Bible) and the son of God (Jesus Christ).
Catholicism, which claims to be Christian (but is not) is a false religion that was formed by mixing pagan beliefs and practices with Christianity. People who (falsely) claim to be Christians have done the things you say–and most of those things were done by the Catholic (false) ‘church’.
Here is the difference:
The Muslims who are doing the bad things are the ones who ARE following the book of Islam and the prophet of Islam.
The so-called ‘Christians’ who are doing the bad things are NOT following the book of the Christian faith, or the example of the Messiah–Jesus Christ.
Well said Don’tbefooled. I admire your Zeal and courage. We are fighting a spiritual battle of wits as well as for souls. I think we are entering into another phase of darkness. January 1st marks a New Year by those that follow ” JANUS ” the two-faced lying god. Add that and the “Black Awakening” to the mix. Satan is pulling out all the stops becuz he knows his time is short. God bless you and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ return soon.
just let u know that Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh ) said only AhliSunnahWalJamaah is the true muslim…Shiite is kafir….
In case that mattered to any of you . . .
I would like to say that these people are sheeaa and I don’t want anyone to confuse them with sunni’s. Even though we are both muslims I’m sure your not supposed to hurt yourself like that. This website is very cruel to be showing pictures like this and I am not happy with this. I AM A MUSLIM. MUSLIM IS THE TRUE RELIGION AND YOU WILL BE ASKED ON THE DAY OF GUDGEMENT ` WHO IS YOUR YOUR LORD??!!??!’ WHO IS YOUR PROPHET??!!??!!’. I am not in any way trying to offend people but I’m only trying to spread the word of Islam. Inshallah this will change people’s minds about other religions. (portion of comment deleted)
Islam is a religion, but ‘Allah’ is not the Creator, nor is he the God of the Bible (despite what some misinformed people say). Read your Koran and Haddith. You will stand before the true God on judgment day. It will be a shame if you call yourself a Muslim, and suffer eternal separation from the true God, without knowing what is really in the Koran and the Haddith for yourself. If you call yourself a Muslim, but do not live by the ‘holy books’ of Islam, then you are an infidel too. Don’t think the Shia Muslims will give you Sunnis grace for long. ALL Muslims are expected to live by the Koran, and they will begin to pressure or punish those who don’t.
When your eyes are opened to what is in the Koran and the Haddith–remember this, the Jesus of Christianity is not the Jesus of Islam. The God of Christianity is not Allah. Our God is a better God. He is full of love, mercy, and grace. He does not ask mothers to sacrifice their sons to defend His name. The Bible tells us that children are a heritage from the Lord. Children and grandchildren are His blessing. His desire is for us to enjoy them, not sacrifice them. Our God fights His OWN battles, and asks His children to be people of love and peace.
Speaking of God fighting His own battles–when the Muslims come against Israel–and they soon will–God has decreed destruction for the nations that come against His land. Israel will prevail, and she will extend her borders. I hope your nation is not one of those that will be destroyed. If it is, it is even more important that you consider this warning carefully. Here is a list of the nations that will attack Israel and be destroyed:
Edom = Palestinians and Southern Jordanians
Ishmaelites = Saudis, Arabs
Moab = Palestinians and Central Jordanians
Hagarenes = Egyptians
Gebal = Hezbollah, Lebanese
Ammon = Palestinians
Amalek = Arabs of Sinai Peninsula
Philistines = Hamas of Gaza Strip
Tyre = Hezbollah, Southern Lebanese
Assur = Syrians and Northern Iraqis
thats right ! Their doing harm to them selfs and children , where did they get that from in the quran ?
this is not right for a child its horrible
