    Hey again Sandy - I too would like to see Hollywood make an authentic movie that depicts the true Muhammad; unfortunately I do not think there is a mogul in Tinseltown with the heavy mettle to make such a movie, well, there's Mel, but his is busy currently falling from Grace.
    Thanks!

    Hey Sandy!
    You may want to rent, "Islam, What The West Needs To Know." Good video.
    Oh, and by the way, Islam is not a religion, it is a social order, much like Totalitarianism.
    Thanks.

    Wow, after reading this article I would now love to study the articles and books of the Islamic religion. I would love to see as movies, the life of Muhammad documented as well as the different factions of Islam. I think that a trustworthy documentry could be a huge call to the TRUTH and searchers of TRUTH would FIND

    whatever father zikaria botros may say about islam and our beloved prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him) i wii not say a word against christ and christianity because islam has taught that christ born to virgin Mary was a prophet of God and had to be respected.Incidentally i have heared non believers saying that he was illegitimate child of a carpenter from mary to which as a muslim i can neither subscribe nor will ever do.Better for the learned father to meet those allegations than to mallign muslims and their beloved prophet (peace be upon him)I now understand how painfull his harrangues about islam and its prophet for the muslims could be.you first tease muslims then blame them fundamentalists and terrorists.God bless you father zikaria Botros.

    After reading the above interview, it remind me that in the Bible saying you only worship the Lord "God" the only "God" not other Gods! So I think other religions like Muslim, Buddhism.... except Roman Catholic, are religious human made. Therefore, I strongly believe with what Fr.Botros say and I keep praying God to protect him and if his life is in danger he will be worth a good priest to follow the Christian Martyrs for His Christian Believers to example him. May God Be With You And Keep You Safe from the power of darkness, Fr.Botros.

    Respectfully Yours,

    A BRAVE MAN, you are Fr. Botros!
    I will pray for your safety and may God bless you with more Wisdom to expose the TRUTH!
    I cannot find any fault in your interview. The sexual part of the report answered the question I have about the martyrdom of Muslim, which it said to reward the martyr 72 virgins. I can understand their man, what about the women martyr?
    You spoke the language, you know your subject.
    God Bless!

    After reading this interview, I went to Father Botros' website: fatherzakaria.net and selected "Books" there. The books are available to download as .pdf files. I read "The Two Islams" and was chilled; especially having previously read President Obama's speech praising Muslims and Islam for being peaceful and bring peace. Here is a quote from Father Botros writings about Islam and 'peace':

    "The problem with the assessment of Islam in the West, which is predominantly Christian, is the it is looked upon as another faith- like Christianity- and thus it is the right of each individual to worship as he or she pleases. This is right, but the problem is that Islam is not like Christianity. Christianity is a system of faith and morality which can exist within any national or state system, but Islam however has its own political and judicial system embodied in the Shareia (law) which governs every Muslim.

    For this reason, Islamic fundamentalists who live even in a moderate Islamic state with a secular political system, will attempt to overthrow this system because it does not sufficiently embody the principal of Islam being ‘Religion and State’. This study by no means attempts to present a picture of all Muslims being bad, because this is not at all true- there are many moderate Muslims who are good and constructive members of society, but even these are looked upon by fundamentalists as kaffara (apostate) because they do not follow the Quran faithfully, and thus are also worthy of the same end as any non-Muslim, that is, death.

    Thus, the problem is one of Islam, and not of Muslims. We know that in any religion, or any faith, it is the role of each believer to carry out the teachings of that faith, and
    thus, these teaching become the rules by which he or she lives- any ‘faithful’ Muslim must follow the Quran.

    Islam everywhere in the world especially in the West follow the same ideology and strategy of Islam. They start with the first stage of weakness to pretend that they are peaceful and loving. They take advantage of Democracy and Human Rights in the West to spread their faith.

    After they become strong they do not hesitate to kill people and destroy the civilization of the West, which –according to their belief– is against the doctrines of Islam, as we have seen in bombing the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington."

    Fr. Botros is a truly brave and devoted disciple of Christ. He does exactly what Christ would want him to do. He loves God and his fellow man, and he exposes the fallacies of Islam, a false religion. I have never heard the things he talked about, such as the perverted sexual habits of Mohammed. I only hope that Muslims will look squarely at these things recorded in their texts, and recognize them for what they are. As he quoted Christ, "ye shall know them by their fruits", so shall the Muslim people who investigate the truth be educated and made free to choose the truth. I am inspired by all he said in the interview. I only hope that I can be one iota as brave as he in spreading our faith. Thanks and praise be to the God who loves us all.
