A Kuwaiti Muslim with an Israel-hating family discovers his real roots one day...a very interesting story [h/t: Bruce Kesler]: Mark Halawa: My Muslim background left me unprepared for this shocking discovery.
Growing up in Kuwait, I had the best of everything. My father owned a successful construction company, and provided us five children with amenities like piano lessons, swimming, calligraphy and trips all over the world. Although we were Muslims like everyone else, we were totally secular and my father always aimed to shield us from religious people whom he described as crazies.
I grew up being told that Israelis and Jews were the lowest type of creature in existence, put on Earth only to kill us Arabs. In math class the teacher would say, "If one rocket killed X number of Jews, how many would six rockets kill?"
My father was rabidly anti-Israel. He was a product of Nasser's school of thought: secular from a Muslim point of view, yet deeply dedicated to the idea of pan-Arab unity. Israel, he believed, was an American proxy in the post-colonial Middle East...
L'chaim:)
Probably lots of folk like this, they just don't realize it, like this guy.
Sol published a piece earlier this year, a film about some Bedouin and other Palestinians who still maintain some aspects of Judaism.
I'll try to find the link, it was fascinating and very moving.
A TRUTH:- STUPID ALLAH AND HIS STUPID MUHAMMED
Muhammad was nothing but a false prophet, a mere man who lived and died like
you and I. He was born with the same sin that you and I are born with. That
is why faith in Mohammad cannot save you.
So let me talk to you about this false religion called Islam that over 1.3
billion people on the planet are following straight to hell. Like all false
religions and cults, it has a human founder. Islam was born out of the
rebellious heart and mind of a man named Muhammad, a Mecca businessman that
lived from 570-632 a.d.
Muhammad claimed to be a prophet like those in the Old Testament and wrote
his "revelations" down in a book called the Qur'an. In reading the Qur'an,
it becomes clear that it is nothing but Mohamad's warped philosophy of life
based on his rebellion to the one true God of the Bible, and is little more
than a poor imitation of the Old Testament.
THE QUR'AN IS NOTHING BUT A WORK OF FICTION THAT IS NO MORE INSPIRED THAN
HARRY POTTER OR A HARLEQUIN ROMANCE NOVEL!!!
What confuses many people about the false religion of Islam is their god who
they call "allah. The allah of Islam is technically a black moon rock!!!
The allah of Islam is nothing but a creation out of the imagination of Muhammad,
no different than Mickey Mouse who was a creation out of the imagination of
Walt Disney!!!
