A Comparison between Jesus and Muhammad

Following is a chart that shows some of the strong differences between Jesus and Mohammed. The Muslims revere Mohammed as the greatest of prophets, yet Jesus clearly demonstrated greater authority, teaching, and miracles than Mohammed ever did. Why would anyone want to follow Mohammed over Jesus when Jesus claimed to be divine, performed many miracles, said he alone was the truth, raised people from the dead, and rose from the dead himself and Mohammed did none of these things. However, Mohammed did have people killed, spread his religion through war, married a very young girl and had relations with her when she was nine years of age, and taught hatred of Jews and Christians. Jesus Muhammad Death Jesus died and rose from the dead Muhammad died and stayed dead. Fighting Jesus never fought Muhammad fought many many times Hearing from God When Jesus heard from God he went to the desert to be tempted and began his ministry with boldness, (Mark 1:14-15). When Muhammad heard from God (supposedly through an angel) he cowered, was uncertain, and wanted to commit suicide (Quran 74:1-5) Identity Jesus claimed to be God (John 8:24; 8:58) as well as a man. Jesus claimed to be the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Muhammad claimed to be a man. Instructions Received From God the Father (John 5:19) Allegedly from an angel Killing Jesus never killed anyone Muhammad killed many Life Jesus had the power to take life, but never did. He restored it. Muhammad had the power to take it, but he never restored it. No one ever died in Jesus' presence Many people died in Muhammad's presence -- he killed them. Marriage Jesus never married Muhammad had over 20 wives and even married a nine year old girl. Ministry Jesus received his calling from God directly (Matt. 3:17). Jesus received his commission in the daylight Muhammad allegedly received it from an angel (Gabriel) Muhammad received his words in the darkness of a cave. Ministry Length Jesus taught for 3 1/2 years Muhammad taught for more than 20 years Miracles Jesus performed many miracles including healing people, calming a storm with a command, and raising people from the dead. Muhammad's only alleged miracle was the Quran. Prophecy Jesus fulfilled biblical prophecy about being the Messiah Muhammad did not fulfill any biblical prophecy except the ones about false teachers (Matt. 24:24). Sacrifice Jesus voluntarily laid his life down for others Muhammad saved his own life many times and had others killed. Sin Jesus never sinned (1 Pet. 2:22) Muhammad was a sinner (Quran 40:55; 48:1-2) Slaves Jesus owned no slaves Muhammad owned slaves. Virgin Birth Jesus was virgin born Muhammad was not virgin born. Voice of God Jesus received and heard the direct voice of God (Mark 1:10-11) Muhammad did not receive or hear the direct voice of God. It was an angel instead. Women Jesus spoke well of women Muhammad said women were 1/2 as smart as men (Hadith 3:826; 2:541), that the majority in hell will be women (Had. 1:28,301; 2:161; 7:124), and that women could be mortgaged. There is no comparison between Jesus and Muhammad. Muhammad falls so far short that he cannot be held on any level remotely close to Jesus. Muhammad is clearly inferior to Christ. by Matt Slick

Iran and Hezbollah issue warnings to Israel

Hezbollah chief Nasrallah says will retaliate to any Israeli aggression, while Iranian President calls state a 'tumour'.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad said that Israel was a 'cancerous tumour' that would one day cease to exist [EPA] Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Lebanon-based Hezbollah group, and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, the Iranian president, have issued stern warnings to Israel, saying that any aggression on that country's part would be met with a swift armed response. Nasrallah, speaking during a televised address from Beirut on Friday, said that his fighters will make the lives of Israelis "a living hell" if it is attacked. "There are targets in occupied Palestine [Israel] which could be targeted by a small number of missiles," Nasrallah said. "If we are forced to use them to protect our people and our country, we will not hesitate to do so... and that will turn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists into a living hell," he said in a speech marking al-Quds [Jerusalem] Day. Nasrallah warned that any conflict would involve "tens of thousands of deaths". He also said that if Israel were to undertake any military action over Iran's controversial nuclear programme, "the response will be enormous". Any such action would present Iran with "the opportunity it has been dreaming of" since it was founded in 1979, he said. Last month, an Israeli general warned that the Israeli military would respond "decisively" to any rocket attacks aimed at Tel Aviv. "If we get to another war, Israel will hit Hezbollah decisively, quickly, as fast as we can in order to stop the fire from Lebanon to Israel," Brigadier General Herzi Halevi, commander of the country's northern division, said at a briefing. He also said that towns in southern Lebanon used as launching bases for Hezbollah rocket attacks would be "destroyed". Israel and Lebanon are officially in a state of war, and the former fought a devastating war with Hezbollah in 2006. 'Cancerous tumour' Iranian President Ahmadinejad, speaking in Tehran, said that Israel was a "cancerous tumour" that would one day cease to exist. "Open your ears: there will be no Zionist regime and no United States [domination] in the new Middle East map," Ahmadinejad said. "The occupied territories should be fully returned to the Palestinians," the Iranian president told supporters at Tehran University. "Nobody in the world can say he is in favour of human rights and approve the Zionist regime." In Bahrain, meanwhile, police personnel clashed with protesters who attempted to hold their annual rallies marking al-Quds day. Several people were injured and others were arrested, after police fired teargas, stun grenades and birdshot rounds. The marking of al-Quds Day is a show of support for Palestinians over the disputed holy city of Jerusalem. It is an annual event first introduced in Iran by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late supreme leader of Iran, in 1979. Nasrallah also spoke on Friday of the uprising in Syria, saying that leaders of Muslim-majority countries such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia were not doing enough to end the bloodshed there. Lebanon travel warnings Meanwhile, the governments of the United States and Turkey have asked their citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Lebanon, after a series of kidnappings in the country linked to the uprising in Syria. "The US embassy has received reports of an increased possibility of attacks against US citizens in Lebanon," the embassy said in a statement. "Possible threats include kidnapping, the potential for an upsurge in violence, the escalation of family or neighbourhood disputes, as well as US citizens being the target of terrorist attacks in Lebanon." The embassy also announced the suspension of the State Department's flagship Fulbright and English Language Fellow programmes in Lebanon, cutting short research projects and teaching grants for US university students and educators in Lebanon. The Turkish foreign ministry issued a similar warning on Friday. "It is deemed beneficial if our citizens avoid travelling to Lebanon unless absolutely necessary," said the ministry in a statement. The warning came after around 20 people, including one Turkish national, were taken hostage in Beirut on Wednesday and another Turkish national on Thursday, according to the ministry. Ankara said that it was continuing efforts at a multilateral level for the release of the two kidnapped citizens. Several Gulf countries have ordered their nationals to leave the country immediately in the face of threats, particularly against Saudis and Qataris whose governments are staunch opponents of the Syrian regime. On Friday, the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) sought to relieve tensions by saying that it would aid the Lebanese Miqdad clan, who has carried out the kidnappings in response to the kidnapping of one of its members, in the search for the missing person. "We have our group of Free Syrian Army hostages and don't intend to take any more. But if our relative Hassan is killed in Syria, the first to be executed will be the Turk," warned spokesman Maher al-Miqdad. Hezbollah chief Nasrallah said his group was not responsible for the response to the abduction of the Lebanese Shias in Syria. "What happened was beyond the control of Hezbollah and [the] Amal [movement]," he said, On Friday, the Lebanese army said it was stepping up security at religious sites and other public places ahead of the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr, in response to the tense security situation

Egypt's Morsi to make historic trip to Tehran

President Mohamed Morsi's state-media announced visit to Iran would mark first by Egyptian head of state since 1979.

Morsi, Egypt's first Islamist president, has been expected to improve ties with Tehran since his inauguration Egypt's state news agency has reported that President Mohamed Morsi will visit Iran to attend the Non-Aligned Movement meetings on August 30. MENA said Morsi's visit will be the first such visit by an Egyptian head of state to Tehran since the Iranian revolution of 1979. The agency quoted sources at the Egyptian presidency as saying on Saturday that Morsi "will participate in the summit" on his way back from China. Other Egyptian media reports have suggested Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate who won the poll in June, might send his newly appointed deputy, Mahmoud Mekki, instead. Egypt is the current head of the Non-Aligned Movement, founded during the Cold War to advocate the causes of the developing world. It is set to hand over the chairmanship to Iran in the Tehran meeting. Since Egypt's Hosni Mubarak was toppled in a popular uprising last year, Egypt and Iran have signalled interest in renewing ties severed more than 30 years ago after Iran's revolution that established the Islamic Republic and Egypt's recognition of Israel. However, with western governments pushing Iran to halt its disputed nuclear programme and the United States being a major donor to Egypt's military, any improvement in ties could become a tricky path to tread. Morsi said in June he would sue an Iranian news agency after it quoted him as saying he was interested in restoring relations with Tehran, although his aides later said the that interview was a fabrication. America responds Iran hailed Morsi's victory as an "Islamic Awakening", while Morsi himself is striving to reassure Egypt's western allies wary at the prospect of Islamist rule, and Gulf states that are deeply suspicious of Iranian influence. Richard Murphy, a former US assistant Secretary of State, told Al Jazeera that the US will likely not be pleased if Egyptian-Iranian relations are restored. "America has tried along with Europe to forge a system of isolation of Iran and avoid giving any prestige to the regime in Iran," Murphy said. "And [Iran’s] ability to host this Non-Aligned conference does add to its image internationally and that won’t make America happy." Egypt's formal recognition of Israel and Iran's revolution led in 1980 to the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries, among the biggest and most influential in the Middle East. They currently have reciprocal interest sections, but not at ambassadorial level. Egypt's former president Anwar Sadat received Iran's late Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi who fled Iran following the revolution, while one of Tehran's streets is named after the man who assassinated Sadat during a military parade in 1981.

Eid in Syria marred by fighting in Aleppo

New UN-Arab League envoy denies saying it is too soon for President Assad to step down as clashes continue across Syria.

Two children were among at least 19 people reported killed in shelling by the Syrian army, as clashes with rebels continued on the first day of the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday.

Activists said the children were killed on Sunday during continued shelling on the town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province.

The violence came as Lakhdar Brahimi, the new UN-Arab League Joint Special Representative in Syria, denied making comments that that it was too soon for Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, to step down.

In other parts of the country, troops were also reported to have bombarded the besieged city of Rastan, in the central province of Homs, and the eastern city of Deir Ezzor.

Children across the Muslim world were set to receive new clothes and gifts for Eid,

but in Syria there was no respite from the bloodshed which the activists say has killed more than 23,000 people since March last year. "There is no holiday," said Mohammed Radwan, 34, standing near an apartment building in Aleppo's Tariq al-Bab neighbourhood, which was hit by an airstrike the day before. "The electricity comes and goes, the jets fire on us and no one has any work. All we'll do today is clean up the rocks and rubble." Elsewhere,

clashes raged in the Saif al-Dawla and Izaa districts of the northern city of Aleppo, a key battleground of the conflict since rebels seized large swathes from July 20.

Fierce fighting continued to rage between rebel fighters and government forces for control of Aleppo's international airport, a strategic target for both sides. Opposition forces said they were making gains in the city and were hopeful of capturing the airport, an important strategic target. Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, a former US state department military advisor, told Al Jazeera that the rebels have managed to persevere largely because of the nature of urban warfare. "As we always see in urban terrain, the advantages that are held by a technologically superior military, such as the Syrian army, those advantages of aircraft, of tank, those are in many ways neutralised inside a city," said Kimmitt. At least 137 people were killed across Syria on Saturday, including 63 civilians, 31 rebel fighters and 43 soldiers, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. 'Last chance to stay alive'

Amid the violence, Syria's state-run TV aired footage of President Bashar al-Assad performing Eid prayers in a mosque in Damascus on Sunday. It was his first appearance in public after a bombing in the Syrian capital last month that killed the country's defence minister and three other top security officials. The last time Assad appeared in public was on July 4 when he gave a speech in parliament. Assad's appearance comes amid much speculation on the whereabouts of Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa

, who was said by some members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to have defected to the opposition. On Saturday, his office denied the reports and said Sharaa "did not think, at any moment, of leaving the country". Sharaa did not appear in the footage at the mosque with Assad. Leaflet drop

Meanwhile, Syrian helicopters dropped leaflets over Aleppo urging residents not to shelter rebels and warning the FSA it had one last chance to surrender. Some of the leaflets dropped late Saturday, in what rebels and residents said was a first, were designed as official-looking checkpoints passes for supporters of the rebels wishing to surrender.

"The holder of this pass is allowed to cross security forces checkpoints to surrender. The holder of this pass will be well treated and reunited with his family after verifications are conducted," the leaflet read. Other more basic leaflets printed on pink or white paper urged the rebels to put down their weapons.

"Your last chance to stay alive is to give up your weapons because there is nothing you can do against the Syrian army," read one leaflet, in part.

The AFP news agency reported that fighters in Aleppo had laughed off the leaflets and continued to fight, saying that their next step is to take the out two remaining airforce bases, a radar station, and the new army headquarters in the province of Aleppo. UN mission The latest development came as the last 100 of 300 UN monitors who had been in the country prepared to leave Syria on Sunday. UN monitors wind up mission in Syria The UN observers' departure comes after the UN Security Council agreed to end the mission and support a small new liaison office that will support any future peace efforts. In an interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday, veteran Algerian diplomat Brahimi said that for him, it was "too early to have a say" on whether Assad should step down. "I could not talk about such a matter or any other matters unless I arrive in New York or Cairo to see what is the plan to be carried out," said Brahimi. Brahimi had been quoted by news agencies on Saturday as saying that it was too soon for Assad to step down, something he denies saying. Reports of the alleged comments had caused fury among Syrian dissidents and the opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) described the comments as "unacceptable". "The revolutionary Syrian people were shocked and dismayed by Mr Lakhdar Brahimi's statements," the SNC said in a statement. "We call on the international envoy - who has not yet consulted with any Syrians on his appointment or his mission - to apologise to our people for taking this unacceptable position," it added. Brahimi told Al Jazeera that he has asked the SNC for an apology. "They should call and ask me to make sure if I said so," he said.

James K. Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1795

James K. Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1795. He graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina in 1818. As a young man he became a successful lawyer, entered politics and joined the Tennessee Legislature. Polk's political career progressed quickly. He served as the Speaker of The House of Representatives from 1835-1839. He served as governor of Tennessee afterwards. In 1844, Polk was elected president of the United States. He was an advocate of manifest destiny (western expansion) and supported the annexation of Texas, as well as acquisition of California and Oregon. Later that year, Polk negotiated a treaty with Great Britain which resulted in his country's acquisition of the Oregon Territory. Although Texas became the 31st state in 1845, the attempted acquisition of California resulted in the Mexican War. Polk initially offered to buy California and the New Mexico territory from Mexico for $20,000,000, plus forgiveness of other debts. The Mexican government refused, which prompted Polk to send general (and the next president) Zachary Taylor and his troops to the region. The Mexicans saw this as a sign of aggression and attacked Taylor's troops. Congress declared war and promptly defeated Mexican forces and occupied Mexico City. At the end of the war, Mexico agreed to give up California and the New Mexico territory for $15,000,000. The new lands increased the land mass of the American nation significantly. In failing health, Polk left the White House in 1849 (he never tried to win re-election). Only 103 days after his last as president, he died of Cholera in Nashville, Tennessee.
