In English: I AM; In French: Je suis; In other words Maybe Greek or Latin Jesus, A~r-a-m~aic:Yeshua Hamashiachi, I exist and so do you. and so don't we all.?! Lets just all Embrace each other and join the Great CoMmission for eturnal fun fornication peace and pleasure; Child hood is c all in g(od). Stop labeling good things as bad things and bad things as good things its Authenticity or an all out NEW CLEARest Nu~Clearer WAR so says all of FairArIeS The one and only true Eturnal GOD of LOVE AND WAR. Its a Masculine principle which is both masculine and feminine expressed as Masculine and Feminine principle which is all Femininie. What is Feminine is 1st Most holy and what is holy is sacred. Masculinity is 1st Most Sacred and Holy. That which is Sacraficed is holy And That which is kept is Sacred So Know thy self Well because you will decide your own fate. I AM THE MOST SACRED One AND THE MOiST HOLY ONE NO ONE may be LESS than ME or More than ME I Contain all and project all.

In the end, it doesn't matter what we FEAR or not, God's Will is all that matters. Islam is a beautiful pluralistic faith often demonized in the West and by many so-called "Christians." Positive material on Islam exists here on the CT website as well! We in the West definitley need to educate ourselves about Islam without letting our fears getting in the way!

"Allah" is not the Christian or Jewish God but a distorted version created by Mohammed. Efforts to equate the two are not theologically sound. And I certainly hope this article is right that Europe will have a revival of Christian hope...
