Dear Brother Timothy,
What a wonderful story, although for someone such as myself who has accually been to Egypt, it is the fakest story I have ever seen a Christian make up.
Did you know that according to the Bible that you aren't even a Christian for making up such lies and decievements.
Allow me to expose you for the fake that you are:
1. in the farm regions of Egypt, they are not taught English, and your writing and grammar skills is clearly from someone who has been educated their whole life in the states.
2. they do not allow visas to America for ex-cons from Egypt
3. The Christians in Egypt recieve more protection than the Muslims. and Islam teachings does not consider Christians as infedals, as a matter of fact, Egypt is one of the few countries where the Christians and Muslims are like brothers.
4. If you knew Islam than you would know that there is not tear jerking choice between Jesus and Muhammad, that Islam conciders them both equal
5. {I am just 14 years old and I am easily intimidated." Nevertheless, Sulleiman gave me a stack of books to study in preparation for the sermon I was to deliver the next day. From then on, it became customary for me to preach a sermon on the first Monday of every lunar month.}
14 year olds don't give sermans as they dont give them in church either, it is only for the scholars, and they are not done on Mondays
6. {my sister had no choice but to obey my Quranic command and wear the veil which indicated modesty.}
Even if your sister was Christian or Jewish she is required wear a veil 1 Corinthians 11:7
7. {The Quran presents a god who is on the look out for ways of tormenting his slaves.} those who do evil
8. {A Muslim may do as many good works as possible in this world and on the Day of Judgment God weighs the deeds of every individual in a "balance."}
are you decieved to think it is as easy as saying hocus pocus or a few hail Marys or just believing in Jesus, (which all Muslims believe in Jesus) you are sadly wrong brother, if you want eternal heaven you have to work for it, submit your will to Allah, look how hard it is to have a good life on earth, you can't have a good life on earth by saying a few words so what makes you think you can have "Heaven" by a few words Matthew 7:23
9. { The Quran asserts that God put somebody who looked like Him on the cross in the place of Jesus. Now my Muslim friends, God is not in the business of fraud}
God in the Bible many times made things appear to the evil doers in a way different than they were, moses's can into a snake was it Abraham that appeared to be in fire and many more
10. {My Muslim friend, my goal is not here to proselytize you, but to raise the ultimate questions, Who is Christ? Was he crucified?}
Well, since you count on the Bible than it is understandable that you ask such a question this is as far as I go, you touch on many questions that would be my honor to answer and would be too much to answer all in one post
In any event I did enjoy your story and it made me very happy to know and see that the original Christians who were the majority in the Middle East and who had a much better understanding of Hebrew and Arabic, are now Muslim and the Chirstians that are left have to resort to lies to support their views :-)
Peace and Blessings,
Your brother in Islam: Mohamed
