Branded

When it comes to brand recognition, here are some that immediately come to mind:

Western Brands: Coca-Cola, IBM, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, McDonalds

Asian Brands: Sony, Toyota, Samsung, BenQ

Muslim Brands: al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah

What a bunch of under-achievers! No wonder they're mad at their underachieving status vis-a-vis the West. Western civilization has rolled right over them and they're stuck somewhere in the middle ages, dreaming of achieving Islamic domination by force. So, they attack our buildings, they attack our planes, they attack our trains, they attack our subways, they attack our religion.

I wouldn't trade my religion, rooted in the warm love of God, for theirs, rooted in cold submission to Allah, for anything. I can sleep peacefully at night knowing that Christ, not "Allah" is Lord, and that He has reconciled me to God His Father through His death on the cross.

I wouldn't trade this for anything.

And that's the way the Ball bounces.

Louis, than you for contributing to the discussion. Not sure where you got the idea that to question the word of God is blasphemous. Are you just throwing up a "straw-man" argument? Islam does not worship the same God who revealed Himself in Jesus Christ. Nor does it represent God as "all-loving". As such, whether it is weighed against the revelation of Christianity, or the gospel-according-to-Louis, it is a false revelation. Not sure what you are defending. I hope you will consider Jesus Christ, and put your trust in Him.
