The local mall will, on occasion, host tables in the open area. These tables can be used, @ no charge, by charity groups or religious organizations (usually Christian, Jewish & Islamic [even though i know Islam isn't a religion]).
When it's Islam, I stop by and politely ask rude questions:
- Who was 'allah' originally? Wasn't his persona adapted from a fictitious moon god?
- The Qur'an was written by the Prophet Muhammed, right? I'm confused - can you name just one "prophecy" he wrote down...just one?
- My Bible admonishes lying. Am I correct in translating Takkiya as the purposeful, allah sanctioned, lying to protect Islam?
- If you think that all the monotheistic religions worship the same "god" - why is allah protrayed as non-loving and not a father figure who offers no assurance of salvation?
I know they can't react as they'd like...because the mall would boot them. After the first question, which they believe is sincere, they cast side glances and ignore me. I wish them a good day, then grab a double iced caramel frappuchino & chuckle.
