KORAN 9/11 CHAIN MAIL- DEBUNKED

[Josh]

Here's a prime example of what we're looking for in regard to "Christian Urban Legends" (the new sub-forum in General IC Forum Topics)

Check out this chain mail going around right now:



[glow=red,2,300]I don't normally pass these on but it says "someone" will tell me they love me.how can I go wrong with that (even though I should be in deep sleep at 11)! LOL


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Read down to the very bottom highlighted in green, IT'LL GIVE YOU GOOSE-BUMPS!!!





You don't want to miss this! ((*_*) )


VERY INTERESTING-
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
With 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?!

I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE IT 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

Rose received this as chain mail and asked me how much of this is true. So, here's our first "Christian Urban Legends" to be assigned to the DEBUNKED category:

Rose,

Points #1-17 are true, if one realizes that those things happened in places that are in the modern world located in the nation of Iraq.

Points #18 is probably not true (Peter most likely meant Rome, or less possibly Jerusalem) when he said he was "in Babylon"

#19 is only partially true, because there either "Rome" or "apostate Israel" is just symbolically called Babylon.

The Koran passage (9:11) is a complete fabrication. 9:11 in the Koran says something totally different:

"But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and we make the communications clear for a people who know." (M. H. Shakir translation)

In fact, the word eagle never appears in the Koran.

And the final bit about 11:11 is closer to witchcraft than christianity.

'Nuff said.

The sad thing is that it took about 30 seconds on google to separate fact from fiction.
