Islam was started in 2000BC (as far back as Abraham) but it was only for the Arabs and was know as Sin the Moon Gods, Hubal or Allah, hence the crescent moon, it was taken up by Muhammad in 600AD as we know it today there is two parts to it Shiite and Sunnis. This is a small break down as it would take to long to go right into it. The Wars in the far East have been going on since biblical times, between the Jews and Palestinians that is probably what was meant.highgrit":y59judch said:Our next civil war will be between either conservatives and liberals or Christians and muslims.

Although not mentioned directly in the Bible, there is recorded in the Bible an outline of the Arabic people as the Children of Abraham who inhabited the "eastern country". The history of the Muslim peoples, therefore, begins with the prophet Abraham and his descendants through Ishmael, his firstborn son. look at the Torah Genesis. Hope this helps.
You won't find a lot in the King James. It deleted entire books of scripture,although there remained center column references to these books until very recently; but that's for discussion somewhere else. ;-)highgrit":2o1515dc said:Thank you, Chrisy for the info. We spent time in Genesis and found this in 16:12. As I read it, Ishmael was going to be a wild man ( a holy terror ). At least that is what the angel of the Lord said to Hagar. My wife needs to do a lesson in sunday school about how the muslim religion came about. I can't find Muhammad in the Concordance of the King James Version's Holy Bible.

So...when Baptists can put one of those "church in a double-wide" deals on the outskirts of Mecca or the Catholics can gather openly for midnight Mass at Christmas, I'll support this Mosque in NYC.
The Imam proposing this Mosque only claims $16,000 raised for the project, which will probably pass $10 million. (It's NYC, a hamburger and a beer will ruin $50) I bet the money will come when he gets final approval and I'll bet most of the $ are Saudi.

Don't want to start an argument but the religion was created around 610 AD. Portions of the old testament were incorporated into the Qoran.

Another interesting note is you cannot leave the religion. Penaltys are pretty harsh.Walt
