I'm really starting to have my doubts about any religion. Scientists have recently discovered that while our universe is naturally designed to last for a very long time; it has been discovered that nothing is going to last forever. The recently discovered mass of the Higgs-Boson particle indicates that our universe is inherently unstable, and at some point billions of years from now it's all going to get wiped out. Please check out this following article: "Higgs Boson Particle May Spell Doom For the Universe" at "http://www.livescience.com/27218-higgs-boson-universe-future.html". It is already a widely accepted theory that our Sun eventually will exhaust all of its nuclear fuel and die, which will destroy the Earth. I believe that humans will lose their faith in God when it becomes apparent that only nothing can exist forever. ... :( Matthew 24:35 .... "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." The words of the Bible are nothing; therefore, they can last forever.

As a Christian our point should be about leading people to faith in Jesus and showing people his love. Waving a person's mistakes in their face isn't likely to do that. There is indeed much that makes Islam and Christianity similar, and the only really significant difference is their attitude towards Christ. It might interest you to know that there are some Muslims that worship and proclaim Jesus as the Christ.

I was thinking about this earlier today, based upon my readings of the Bible and the Quran. In the New Testament of the Bible, there are many passages that quote or paraphrase things Jesus supposedly did, or describe his actions and also his life. I haven't looked at the Quran in several months, but from I remember there is almost nothing like this about Mohammad's life. He is a very enigmatic person, who is there in spirit but not presence. Even in Sharia law, it is forbidden to have an image of him. As to what you said; yes it is true, but Mohammad lived around 500AD, before automobiles and planes, computers and the rapid diffusion of knowledge that this brings, so of course like many people he would have been unaware of some things we take for granted. But is was speculated by some, going back I think at least to classical Greece, that the earth is round. People then might have been even less aware of the tilting of the earth and how this causes long periods of daylight in northern latitudes. Dostoyevsky wrote a short story, 'White Nights'; I think the title is a reference to this.

Yes, the US did provide military assistance to the Taliban during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The US supplied the Taliban with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that were used to shoot down 270 Soviet aircraft in Afghanistan. I believe that the US had recovered most of these weapons after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. Only about 600 of these anti-aircraft missiles were never returned back to the CIA.

Muhammad was not aware that the Earth was round or the Earth is tilted on its axis. Ramadan fasting rules written by Muhammad in the Quran require dawn to dusk fasting for Islamic followers around the world during the month of Ramadan. Muhammad would have intended this law to be applied equally to all regions of the world. He would have thought that the time period for night and day were the same for all who lived everywhere. Equal time periods for day and night could only exist everywhere during the summer months of Ramadan, if the Earth were flat or if the Earth were round and didn't have a tilt of the axis. Either of these beliefs that Muhammad would have had is incorrect and shows that Muhammad may not have been inspired by God. Dawn to dusk fasting rules as it is written in the Koran cannot be applied equally to all persons in all regions. Because the inhabitants of the more southern areas experience very short days during Ramadan, and would only require fasting for a few hours a day. The inhabitants of the more northern areas experience daylight throughout the month of Ramadan, and would be killed by starvation during the month of fasting without food and drink. Nowhere in the Quran was it written that people in the polar regions don't have to fast because there is always sunlight there during Ramadan, and they can stop fasting at the time of the sunset of the nearest country next to them. This law was later added in Islam in order to correct an error in the dawn until fasting rule during Ramadan as written by Muhammad.
