The article which follows from Haaretz by News Agencies, is a good illustration of the basic difference between
the teachings of the Koran and the New Testament.
My God, Jesus Christ, chose to walk the path to the cross to give his life for my sins, so that I might receive the blessings of his Father, and attend a heavenly wedding, but the Islamic suicide bombers walk into earthly weddings and give their lives in the slaughter of innocent people to receive the heavenly blessings of their God Allah.

Al-Qaida in Iraq Threatens to Attack Israel
By News Agencies
A Web statement Friday in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq, claiming the deadly hotel bombings in Amman, Jordan, included a threat to Israel, Jordan’ s we
stern neighbor.
The statement noted that Jordan, which it described as Israel’s “buffer zone,” was now “within range” and “it will not be long before raids by the mujahedeen come” to Israel itself.
The statement said that the attacks in Amman were carried out by four Iraqis, including a husband and wife “who chose to accompany her husband to his martyrdom.”
“All of these are Iraqis from the land between the two rivers,” the statement said, alluding to Iraq’s ancient name, Mesopotamia.
“They vowed to die and they chose the shortest route to receive the blessings of God.”
“THEY VOWED TO DIE AND THEY CHOSE THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS OF GOD”

Philippians 2:6-11 – Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
