    What is the future of Islam?

    Muhammad was not a paedophile, he had normal sexual relations with his other wives that is not easily possible for paedophiles who are both sexually attracted and excited by youth. Moreover you are attempting to apply a 21stC definition of a paraphilia to a 6thC culture which was vastly...

    The Curriculum of Elementary and High Schools in the West

    Zoroastrianism is not mentioned largely because of a couple of facts. Western history springs largely from the brows of the Greeks who, as you are aware, were NOT fans of Persia. A lot of Westerners are much more aware of Zoroastrianism as the religion of the Parsees rather than those...

    Is Cyrus "his anointed" a translation from "his Messiah"

    It is certainly no secret that Cyrus was considered a 'saviour' to the Jews in exile. He was an fairly enlightened ruler for the time.

    Persian Loans to Hebrew

    What was the language of the original New Testament?

    Jesus' home was in sight of cities of the Decapolis which were undergoing expansion during the period of his lifetime. It is likely that he, being a wright, worked there which would mean that he possibly had a passing understanding of koine Greek himself. As for the rest Bobx is quite right.

    Sufis vs Wahhabis

    They have not simply removed grave-stones, they have disinterred the dead. Simply unacceptable.

    Abortion

    Nobody, wil, said a foetus was NOT alive. It is simply potential life given the rate of natural miscarriage. Moreover until the brain<>Body linkage at around 20 weeks it is non-sentient life at that.

    Abortion
