The Islamic Revolution
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Tue Jan-09-07 06:42 PM by GeneCosta
The year was 632. The Muslim prophet Muhammad Abdullah had recently died at the old age of sixty-three. But although his body could no longer move, his beliefs spurred what we now regard as one of the largest religions in the world. A religion that has recently been called (by some) as a world terror. Coincidentally (these) same people also claim that Islam should be destroyed before more problems arise.

It is 2006 now, almost 1500 years after the last prophet of Allah died. There is currently a movement in the Islamic nations and around the world where the "old ways" are fighting those of the same and opposing faith who believe in humanism and shining the light on regional ignorance. Unfortunately, blood is being shed and people are dying... but wait.

A religious movement happening 1500 years after its birth, with widespread war? Where have I heard of this before?
