Please Note Well — It is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or
“bash” anyone who may hold religious or political persuasions or opinions other than our
own. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your opinion, we will defend to
the death your G-d-given right to hold it. Since
this website was originally launched in 1995, we have held the position that We are not
“anti-”anybody; we are only pro-Truth [click
here for the definition of “Truth”].
We firmly believe that it can be proven with
absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed
Word of G-d, and is the standard by
which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that
concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those
beliefs with the
Revealed Truth of the Bible. We also attempt to demonstrate how far the true Body of Messiah has drifted from its Jewish
origins. We earnestly await the return of Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as
promised by the prophets. If
you disagree with our position, please click this link.
As the
Olam Habah quickly approaches, each of us is faced with some
very difficult choices. One of these choices is whether or not to defend
ourselves from those who would force us to “submit” to the rule of Islam
and Allah over every aspect of our daily lives. (The
word “Islam” literally means "to submit" or "to surrender" [to
Allah].) We have decided to stand with Joshua: “As for
me and my household, we will serve ADONAI!”
(Jos 24:15
(CJB) -

Our political and religious leaders tell us daily that Islam is a
“peaceful religion” and that the great majority of Muslims want only to
live next to us in peace. However, it is expressly forbidden by the
Qur'an for a Muslim to accept a non-Muslim as a friend (Sura 3:28), and whoever does so “shall
have nothing of Allah” (i.e., cannot, by their own definition, be a
true Muslim). If a person claims to be a Muslim, they must (by
definition) believe the Qur'an; if they claim to believe the Qur'an, they must
believe the whole Qur'an, which says: “Say to those who
disbelieve [the Qur'an]: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and
evil is the resting-place” (Sura
3:12). In Islamic eschatology (the teaching about the future)
the ultimate goal of Islam is to
convert or kill all Jews and Christians, and to have a one-world Islamic
government and religion.

An American Muslim Responds to our Website
The text of this message appears unedited, exactly as it was received.
-------- Original Message --------
If the Messiah were to be born in the US today and speaks to the world, what
language would he speak? No dobut it would be ENGLISH. Not Hebrew. Not
Aramaic. Not Latin. Not French. Since a person who will speak of G-D in
the English language will use the word commonly used in the English language, which is
spelled with the letters G, x, and D. Since the letters Y, E, H, O, etc. are not
utilized here to refer to G-D, one might think that the speaker is not referring to "Y...."
but mere deity called "G-D" when we ALL know that the two are the same.
If one were to truly STUDY the origin of words and language (not spew out ANTI-ISLAM
messages) then one would recognize that when one says in English "G-D" then in Arabic one
would say "Allah". Ask ANY non-muslim who is from ANY land where Arabic is the non-muslim's
mother tongue and YOU will discover that the word used by that non-muslim to refer to their
deity that they call "G-D" for him/herself is "Allah". A Christian uses the word
"Allah" to refer to the "Father in heaven"!!!!!!!!!!!
So, the argument that "Allah" is some other deity other than the creator of the universe,
the deity of Adam, of Noah, of Moses, of Abraham, of Isaac, of Ishmael, of Jesus, and of
Mohammad is absurd. "Allah" is the same deity as "Y..." and accepted by not only the
Muslim world but the rest of the INTELLIGENT universe that uses this intelligence to put
aside bashing another religion for POLITICAL gains and recognize that we ALL pray to the
same omnipotent deity that created the universe and all within it. You may disagree
with many of the aspects of what a Christian may believe about Jesus but still agree with
the Christian that the "Father in heavan" is the same as YOUR deity. Whether you agree
with the Christian about the devinity of Jesus is irrelevant. You still agree that the
deity to whom you pray and the "Father..." are the same. If that is the case then why
can not another religion have the same claim to call the deity you call "Y..." some other
name.
Sincerely,
A muslim in America.
Our Response to “A muslim in America”
“If the Messiah were to be born in the US today and speaks to
the world, what language would he speak?”
Yeshua HaMashiach was not born in the US, and was
not born today. He was born in Israel approximately 2,000 years ago and was in all
likelihood fluent in Aramaic and Hebrew, and could probably also get by in Greek and Latin,
as those were the prominent languages in the area in which He lived. He did not speak to the
world. He spoke to His friends, neighbors, associates, detractors, and enemies.
“Since a person who will speak of G-D in the English language will use
the word commonly used in the English language, which is spelled with the letters G, x, and
D. Since the letters Y, E, H, O, etc. are not utilized here to refer to G-D, one might
think that the speaker is not referring to ‘Y....’ but mere deity called ‘G-D’ when we ALL
know that the two are the same.”
I am not sure what the writer is trying to say by
referring to all these letters of the alphabet: “G, x, and D. Since the letters Y, E,
H, O, etc.” Jewish tradition is to avoid writing or saying the Proper Name of HaShem out of
respect for His Name. In honor of that tradition, His two primary titles (which are
not His names) are generally written as “G-d” or “L-rd” so that when the page is
erased or destroyed no direct reference to the Name of the Holy One of Israel will be
destroyed.
The writer must be referring to Allah as a
“mere deity” because the G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya'akov is no “mere deity.”
“We ALL” most certainly do not know
that “the two are the same.” As previously stated, the word ”god” refers to anyone or
anything that is worshipped or considered to be any form of deity. When used in reference to
the King of the Universe, the term “G-d” is His title, not His Name. If the writer is
suggesting that everyone and everything referred to as “god” or as “a god” is the “G-d” of
the Bible, nothing could be further from the truth. The G-d of the Bible clearly
distinguishes Himself from all others who would be “called god.” [The word rendered as
“L-RD” below is used in place of the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew letters yud-hey-vav-hey,
which are the Revealed Personal Name of the G-d of the Bible.]

The G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya'akov — the
G-d of the Bible — is absolutely not the same as the god of Islam, as clearly
attested to by the Bible [immediately above] and at numerous places in the Qur'an (Koran).
