Know Thine Enemy
[First of a series by Crusader's Armory.]
Islam:
How do I know that? Because I
went to the source. I read the Qur'an, which is approximately one third
as long as the Bible. I also searched and read parts of the
four major Hadith collections. Hadith are sayings, collected by
Muhammad's companions, who passed them down from mouth to ear before
they were collected and reduced to writing. Those sayings
reveal what Muhammad said and did when he was not reciting Allah's
revelations. They confirm and amplify the Qur'an.
By now you should be wondering:
Who the Hell are you? I am who I am, an American
citizen, just like you, except that I am one of life's losers, whose
single prospect of prosperity was vaporized along with the World Trade
Center Towers. You don't need to know the details.
What are your qualifications? I hold a Bachelor of Arts in
Secondary Education, Political Science major; Economics minor
from C.M.U. GPA: 3.15.
What makes you an expert? Nothing. I am not an expert.
I learned what I know from the writings of others,
particularly the original sources.
Why should I believe you. Because everything I
post is verifiable. I will almost always give you the means of
verification through hyperlinks. You should accept nothing at
face value; always verify claims and quotations. I write
about a life & death issue, presenting information
which is vital to the survival of western civilization.
