Ray,

Islam is the second largest religion of the world whose followers are called Muslims. The largest number of Muslims are in Asia and Africa and particularly in middle east and north Africa. The founder of Islam, Muhammad, was born about 570 A.D. in Mecca. His parents died when he was young and was raised by relatives. When Muhammed was about 40 years old, God began to speak to him. God told him to transmit His message to people of Arabia.

This is the verse that somehow speaks to me regarding the Islamic religion.

GAL 1:6    I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--

7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

GAL 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

GAL 1:11 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.

12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. The Islam religion believes that Jesus was a prophet and not our dear Savior. The Islam religion also does not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. So as you can see, Our God and Allah are not the same. Another difference in the Christian religion is that we Christians are to love our enemies.

So far from what I have read in the Quran, 9:29 says, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of truth from among the people of the book, utnil they pay the Jiza with willing submission and feel themselved subdued.

In the Quran, Section 5:30 Says the Jews call 'Uzair a son of allah, and the Christians call Christ the Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; They but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth.

OUR HOLY BIBLE SAYS TO STAY AWAY FROM GOSPEL THAT DO NOT PREACH JESUS CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR. MUHAMMAD WAS BORN AFTER JESUS CHRIST WHO DIED AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD. HE DIED FOR OUR SINS. ACCORDING TO OUR HOLY SCRIPTURES, THIS WOULD MAKE MUHAMMED A FALSE RELIGION. WE DO NOT WISH NON BELIEVERS HARM OR CURSES, WE PRAY OUR GOD WILL HAVE MERCY AND BRING THEM TO SALVATION THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. THE ISLAMIC WISHES CURSES ON THEIR UNBELIEVERS.

in the name of allah the most gracious the most merciful, peace be to those who follow the guidance, i stumbled across your so called prophecy given to raymond aguilera regarding ISLAM. it is the duty of every muslim to defend islam against all false accusations. upon reading this 'prophecy' i was disgusted to see that you mentioned the prophet jesus as saying islam will be the way of the devil. this is not mentioned in any religious scriptures, christian or judaism. all this statement does is heightens the tension between monotheistic faiths. i would like to inform you that islam is not the way of the devil but indeed the way of God. poeple like you will get punished and will suffer a painful torment not only in this life but in next too. the only way you can avoid this is by repenting to God and turn to the true religion. take this message seriously. one the day of judgement God will ask you, why you did not submit your will to Allah. i am now conveying the message to islam to you, so you have no excuse. THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MUHAMMED IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH.
