This one is easy to debunk, so we
will skip the formalities. An email is circulating that claims the Quran called
for and even justified the World Trade Center attacks. In reality, the verse
quoted is not in the Quran, and it is not even a close translation.
False Quote: Quran (
9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath
of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
Actual Quote: (From:
http://web.umr.edu/~msaumr/Quran/9.html) Quran 9:11
-- But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise
regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the
Signs in detail, for those who understand.
Boycott
Watch believes the false quote was deliberately fabricated to incite hatred,
which is un-American. We have not, however, verified any of the biblical
information. It stands to reason, however, that if the Quran quotes are false,
the presented evidence should also be questioned. |

Not sure if the quote from the Islamic bible is
correct, but #'s 1-19 are accurate.
IRAQ - VERY INTERESTING - DID YOU
KNOW?
1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq. 2. Mesopotamia, which is
now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization! 3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq. 5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in
Southern Iraq! 6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq.
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq. 8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in
Iraq. 9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
10. Amos cried out in Iraq! 11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed
Jerusalem. 12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq! 13. The three
Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the
fourth person in the fiery furnace!) 14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon
saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq. 15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,
carried the Jews captive into Iraq. 16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq. 17.
The wise men were from Iraq. 18. Peter preached in Iraq. 19. The
"Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon,which was a city in
Iraq!
And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most
often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is
Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used
in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia
means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates
Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq is a
country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy
associated it than Iraq.
And also... This is something to think about!
Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up
on his Muslim passages..
The following verse is from the Koran, (the
Islamic Bible)
Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia
would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout
the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still
more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and
there was peace.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all
Amen !
I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED
This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq. Pass it on to everyone and
pray. Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM. This is not a
joke. Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they
love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15
minutes. Go |
