I enjoy reading your blog. BTW are you by any chance, related to an old friend of my Oxford days. His name was Dr Ahmad Ghorab? All the best.

Deliver A Messiah, “Mistaken Identity” by Agron Belica brings forth an elaborative examination of who was put on the cross. Many theories suggest that the son of Mary (aka Jesus Christ) was not the person placed on the cross, but someone other than Jesus Christ himself. The author takes you through an examination paving ways of new insight of who might have been put on the cross.
To contribute to the present work, the author investigated and researched to seek the truth about the assumptive facts leading up to what people of Christendom believe to be the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Bible and the Koran are the main resources used as references formally presented in use of persuasive arguments and theories of why the author strongly does not believe that the son of Mary was killed nor crucified.
The author has made every effort to be as unbiased and objective in presenting the facts and interpreting the events in this present work. The author is not trying to stir up controversy, but only wishes to lead people towards what might be considered the truth about the events believed about the crucifixion. The author strongly believes that the prevailing powers during that era have camouflaged the truth. The cover-up of the crucifixion with a false pretext was to lead the masses of people in the past and at present to believe, that the son of Mary was really crucified, by the leading elite that was influenced by the Jewish religious hierarchy at that time.

Our fundementalist friend “Al” doesn’t really need to be debated Sara. There needs to be TWO valid points in an intelligent debate and nothing I read from “Al” indicates so.

Comments like this really need no response.

“I’m amazed that the writer is so naive as to even think that Egypt is Islamic, it is reminiscent to saying Europe is Christian.”

-What? As Sara said, “are you on crack??” What a moronic comparison!

“Sure there are cases where an official would favor a Muslim/Non-Muslim and i think this is human nature, i mean look at Bush and Tony Blair and you’ll see what i mean.”

-What kind of human are you exactly, “Al”? That’s not “human nature” as you put it, that’s barbaric! Actually, it called DISCRIMINATION, look it up.

“So please stop insulting Islam and blaming it for everything wrong in the world.”

-Lol. Sorta how you just tried blaming Bush and Blair for your problems. Typical. Um, I don’t think Bush or Blair were responsible for Egypt’s government jailing Kareem Amer you imbecile. It was Egypt’s pseudo Shariah government that jailed Kareem for “Insulting Islam” not the West. Again, lol.

“Give me one example of a modern state that follows/applies Islam and then we can judge that special case. Even Saudi Arabia is not applying Islam. I would like to see one political entity that applies Islam and then we can judge it. The only state that is based on religion in today’s world is Israel in my opinion.”

Oh, you hate Israel, surprise surprise. I wouldn’t have figured you for a bigot (sarcasm off). You want some examples of failed Islamic states look no further than Iran, Saudi Arabia, Gaza and any other future state that may try to apply Political Islam.

Eh, I could go on. Boy, I sure hope Ali isn’t Egyptian. Egypt is surely doomed with people like that.

Are you on crack? Do you not watch the news? I mean, it’s obvious you’ve never so much as walked down a Cairo street on a Friday, but calling Egypt “UnIslamic” would only happen if you’ve been watching Fox News or something.

I’m not saying that everyone in the country is necessarily religious, but sharia law IS applied, and anyone who thinks otherwise has never heard of the blogger Abdelkareem Nabil Soliman, whose very recent (a few months old) case proves that sharia IS applied, and that people CAN and ARE arrested and jailed FOR INSULTING ISLAM. Three years for insulting Islam and Egypt isn’t Islamic?

Don’t get me started. Do yourself a favor and actually know what you’re talking about before namecalling. (And YES, ‘naiive’ is a slam on someone whose very LIVELIHOOD comes from analyzing Egypt and her politics. Where’s Egypeter and Clear when I need them??! Come back!)

Ok sure there are a lot of Muslims in Egypt but the government does not operate/conform to Islam. Sure there are cases where an official would favor a Muslim/Non-Muslim and i think this is human nature, i mean look at Bush and Tony Blair and you’ll see what i mean. So please stop insulting Islam and blaming it for everything wrong in the world.

Give me one example of a modern state that follows/applies Islam and then we can judge that special case. Even Saudi Arabia is not applying Islam. I would like to see one political entity that applies Islam and then we can judge it. The only state that is based on religion in today’s world is Israel in my opinion.
