The Westerners, when they finished with the Red Communism enemy, ex “the Soviet Union”. Absurdly, turned to the Green one the Islam . Fictionally, upon to their philosophy cursed by the jewish pro-anglo lobbies. Begun, from the ancient altered old books, in the hebrew language. Previously, falsified the descriptions unlike, as the Promised Land in the new Continent (America) In anticipate been guessed, as they will make out of it a big civilization, a favorite people to the Lord, a country protected from Above, and the distorted judio-christianism, it’s the only one as a real religion. Also, the great israel a Holy Land, just to be for the zionism inhabitant people only. Nearly, seventy per cent of the Americans and their alliances, fooled thoughtless to that deceives of doctrine. Wrongly believed the True Religion Islam, somehow picked from their denaturized cults, they forgotten the inventions of the judas before, following the foundation of the trinity after. Imaginatively, created by the Roman Emperor of ex Istanbul, constantino. By contradicted the story of the Mormons the true followers of the Prophet Jesus (pbh). Either, the methods of His Worshipping like the Purity, the Prostration, and the Fasting periods, also the Teaching of the Oneness, to His and Our Almighty God an early Islam, and the Announcement, of the next and Last Prophet after Him, ( to the Fulfillment of the Divine Messages). Officially, on the lost original Sacred Books Torah and the Bible before got the denaturazed. Anyhow, in the recent decade, negatively the war against the Islam started, unfortunately not even one of the Arabic or from the Muslim Countries, defensively stands up (the weakness, due to the almost abandonees of the Mandatory of the Glory “Quran”, and the Commendatory of the “Sunnat”. Emotively, the more We cross Our True Faith ” Islam “, thereby the more other fake cults steps ahead. Resulting, most of all the disasters fallen on the Muslims World. Because, for not Warning and Preaching enough, about the Truthfulness, surely which is our duties, over to the unknowing of the divers unbelievers polytheists (mushrikeen) on the unforgiving major sins ” shirk ” ). Fundamentally, by propagating upon the Monotheism (Tawhid) as a Sign to the World. On the other way, the egoistic civilization which are: by inflicting the destabilizations worldwide unlikely various wars, the facility of the Bank investments an accounting nest, to the third world countries corrupters, of the stolen state funds. Generally, caused the miseries to so many Nations. The promotions of the immoralities (the violence and the depravities) to the peoples around the World, by big haram shirk’s conspiracy, with the unseen evils (the shayatin). And the preoccupation, regarding the spread fast realization, of the Unique Authenticity True Religion “Islam” over the concern Globally. Legislatively, a pure Science, to all the problems in general. Inappropriately, disapproved by these advanced countries. Uncomprehendingly criticism on the Islamic Concepts. Apparently, by looking, at their misleading structures, clearly, are in satanic slaveries. The unperceptional degradation of the women true grace. Appositionally, on the higher level of the Male’s surrounding rank, out of the Female roles. (Naturally, they are able in needs of valuable Works, specifically concerns Societies matters only. Exactly, where the Almighty GOD wants them to be respectfully). Also, immodestly, as teasing objects, for the advertising businesses, the show events, and the fashion trends. Either disrespectfully, manipulated on the provocative shape dresses (the quasi-nakedness liberation). Dramatically, causes major sins, generating, the aggravated indecent lusts, the transmissible diseases, illicit pregnancies, the celibacies left out of the disproportion monogamy, the toll divorce rates, the single parents, the disorders, the infidelities, and the melancholies et… . Badly, nearly, than half of the population born outside wedlocks, and far worst, other percentage unlucky does not even knows their biological fathers, or their own real children. Strangely, by loving the dogs more to their own proper kids, (escapism). Tragically, in some west countries the yearly deficit spending amounts on the dogs alone, is more than almost the budget of one poor third world country. Regarding, the Dogs Animal’s sensible overestimate attachment. Therefore, domestically has to be kept, and cared with the normal treatment outdoors, reasonably at the nature of the impurities dirt , the contamination of epidemics, and the odd visional rapport of the invisible evils (shayateen). Gratefully, the Dogs existence purposes, are : for the rescuing – shepherding – and the surveillance. Logically, are better exciting with the natural environments. Again, the growing perversion of the unnatural weird gays, the criminalities, the intoxication consummation products, the unslaughters and the pork meats, mainly causes many sicknesses. Evenly, the greed of the corruptions, the conflicts, more and more… . Finally, the mockery misconceptional freedom, of the others untrue religions and sects, methodically, the ignorance of the shirks, as a gateway to the satans, expanding the divisional hatred, human disasters, and the natural catastrophes. The Truth of Islam, Universally, it’s the only Key Solution to the Mankind entirely.
Mr Nacir Guettech. Constantine Algeria.
Would you mind rephrasing that, please?
Mr.Nucir there is no way you can justify islam is the true faith. Just look at the bible and all the fulfillment of prophesies that are taking place now in the world. The problem with you muslims is that you are tarnishing the image of the religion by turning it into a terrorists organization. You are nothing but deluded set of believers. There is only one God and the only way to reach him is through Jesus Christ his son period
No proof no pudding, you religious nuts will argue over anything even stat data ^
to hamil…
Brother… just try learning Islam… you’ll see what Nacir is trying to say… its like finding the knowledge at the center of a very unattractive jungle.
