Nowadays, every bad picture is given to the Muslims and Islam and in the same time feverish attempts to Christianize the Islamic world are going on. In this short article, we will pour some lights on the cultural background that governed spreading Christianity in Europe,

or, in other words if, you review some of verses that were followed while spreading Christianity, you will understand why every military campaign ,now, is always accompanied with Christian missionaries. Also, we believe in the Holy Book as the word of God but the one we have now is in most of its parts is not the word of God. Also, we believe that these verses were inserted in the holy Book, just like many things that were either inserted or deleted or moved to another place. Contrary to what was followed and done before concerning spreading Christianity, Now, preaching Christianity became rampant. The malicious goal that lies in their aim is forminga sectarian fanatic European Union.

No doubt, any Holy book form the behavior and the identity of its adherents; it is important to review some verses in the old and New testament that direct and guide the conduct of its adherents.

(1)And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.(Joshua ,6:20-21)

(2)And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.( Joshua:6-24)

(3)The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; (psalm, 58:10)

(4) Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.( Samuel(1),3:15)

(5)…….and to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 6: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. (Ezekiel ,5:9)

(6)Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.(Numbers :31:17-18)

(7)15: Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

(8)Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.( Isaiah :13:15:16)

This policy is applied now in Palestine and Iraq.

We would like to pose this question to the present pope, who insist on imposing the personality of Jesus as a god and imposing that kind of Christendom that Jesus never knew and who chanted words that reflect how kind was Jesus’ heart was, If Jesus is such kind hearted man, who inserted these verses ?

(9)But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.(Luke:19:17)

How fearful is this verse, this verse that makes God’s prophet a bloody one, who enjoys looking at his enemies while they are slaughtered before his eyes.

There are other verses that implies two things in the same time; the cruelty in dealing with those they invaded their countries and the other is distorting the holy passages. The following  verse is a case in point

(10)And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.(Samuel:12-13)

To dilute the effect of this fearful verse, the French Holy Bible ,Bayer version, say “ he took a lot of war spoils from the city and asked them if they could work with saws ,harrows of iron and axes of iron.”

How could the Christian world accept to believe in passages only imposed on people in the successive synods and it remained as so till it was declared in Vatican synod(11) that some of these are old-worn passages, i.e, some are not good to use. There are a lot of holy verses that order them not only to kill but also to eat the flesh of those they killed. This was practiced during the first Crusade war, Lnouniem ,a famous French historian, who was contemporary to the first Crusades war recorded such acts in his annals, read the following holy verse:

(11)And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. (Deuteronomy,14:16-20) .The word “spoils” was inserted in the text instead of another word which means” eat from your enemy flesh, it was like this in Arabic Bible till 1671 and then it was replaced with what could means spoils, it is worth nothing that the word remains as it is in the French Bible; it is “dépouilles”, which means” the dead corpses”, that is ,eat from the corpses of the dead whom you slew by the sword.

This what was handed down to the church through generation, that church which opinionatedly insists on adding the attribute of sadism to whom it deifies in the fourth century. Though we read in the bibles an implied percept in which Jesus orders his disciples to eat his flesh and drink his blood, we find another palpably order from Jesus in John:

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.(John:6:53-56)

There is a great difference between the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible concerning the personality of Jesus. He is a prophet from God and was sent to convey the message of monotheism to his people .

The mention of magedeaths ,massacres in the Holy Book coupled with orders of destruction, eradication ,changing the demography of the areas conquered are palpably in the Holy Book, nothing could outnumber or equate these massacres but the atrocities of the wars of the American marines in Iraq and Afghanistan within the sight and the hear of the  international society but it seems that this society was imbibed by these instructions and it seems that the false allegation that they attribute to the Muslims has become deeply- entrenched in their nature and it seems that no effective resolution could be taken to foil and abort all these attempts of eradicating the Islamic world.

A sign from the past

There is a conclusive evidence whist testifies to this fact; it is a church by the name Sdleitus in Conta Houra in the Czech Republic, it is a church which is decorated with the bones of more than 40.000 skeletons who were killed in holy wars. Those who read the history quite well know well how Christianity was imposed on people and that they had to accept it because there were no other choice but death, in this connection, books of history still relates to us how Christianity was spread.

These bones, be it for Moslems who were killed in the Crusades as some sources say or for protestants who were exterminated during the war that the church launched against is evidence to how the church imposed its opinion and Christianity.  Yan Hiss and his followers story is still afloat here and there, he refused Indulgence that was sold for remitting the sins, the Holy communion and luxurious dresses of the priests and their wealth and he used to accuse the church of being aloof from the teachings of Jesus, so he was condemned in the synod of 1414 and he was burnt alive and thousands of his adherents were exterminated.

How awful and flagrant texts and historical stories that ensued the American  political Christian tool that spares no effort to exterminate the others and they even brag about this.

Why don’t they stop preaching a distorted doctrine, why don’t they desist calling the world to such Trinity that the early Christians didn’t know and it was only invented and protected by synods resolutions.
