Muhammad stole the old testament, changed what Jesus did? Jesus never died? remember that the new testament was around 500 years at the time he was telling his followers what Jesus really did?
The old testament has a lot of rules what not to eat, a lot is because some foods in heat quickly go ff and get contaminated by parasites.  Pork is a notorious food which even today is tricky. Always wash your hands thoroughly frying up bacon.
Muhammad even took Pegasus and renamed him Buraq. He took stories from a lot of sources.

What really gets me is he never sets foot in Jerusalem. But he has a dream? (this is a dubious account) a dream where he visits Jerusalem on Buraq and ascends to heaven from there?
Because of this dream Jews are denied the Temple Mount Their primary religious site.

This seems like sour grapes from the Muslims to stymie the Jews. A poisoning of the waters.

"they traveled to the "farthest mosque". The location of this mosque was not explicitly stated but is generally accepted to mean Al-Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem even though the Al-Asqa Mosque did not exist during Muhammad's lifetime, as he died in 632 and the Mosque was not constructed until 691 AD" wiki

the Rashidun Caliphate
The Muslim Arab army attacked Jerusalem, held by the Byzantine Romans, in November, 636. For four months the siege continued. Ultimately, the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Sophronius, agreed to surrender Jerusalem to Caliph Umar in person. Caliph Umar, then at Medina, agreed to these terms and traveled to Jerusalem to sign the capitulation in the spring of 637. Sophronius also negotiated a pact with Caliph Umar, known as the Umariyya Covenant or Covenant of Omar, allowing for religious freedom for Christians in exchange for jizya, a tax to be paid by conquered non-Muslims, called "dhimmis." Under Muslim Rule, the Christian and Jewish population of Jerusalem in this period enjoyed the usual tolerance given to non-Muslim theists.[3] [4]

I had a few friends from Iran at University in Nuremberg a few year back and they had no trouble eating pig. And drinking. I remember I asked one girl about it but i dont remember her answer(I can only recall her lovely smile when i asked her that question). One reason why it could be so hated is because it is, as per my knowledge, explicitly mentioned in the Koran. Any meat on whose slaughter Allah's name is not taken is haram, but then there is pig. That is why you see many people who were born in Europe, that they will eat at a mcdonalds that is not halal, but they wont eat the McRib, because its pork.

Similarly it says anything that makes you drunk, or lose control of yourself, is not allowed. But then it explicitly mentions alcohol, which is why you see people doing drugs, weed, ciggerets but wont even touch alcohol. THis is what i understand at least.

@zorrorstrikes

The site definitely existed at Muhammad's time. That was where they faced during prayers for a few years, before they changed it to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The farthest mosque was 'one' of the mosques at Temple Mount. There are 4 i guess inside the walled boundary. The ones that existed before the construction of Al-Aqsa mosque do not exist as independant mosques now as they serve the Al-Aqsa mosque(school, library, office/residence of imam etc).

It makes sense that the muslims considered it their holy mosque because it was under christian control at that time and Muhammad claimed to be a prophet of the same God that the christians believed in, and prayed to. So unless Muhammad built a new mosque to celebrate his prophethood, it was understandable that his followers faced the same mosque while praying that the christians faced?

I have always thought this whenever people have questioned Muhammad.

If Muhammad was a liar, and wrote a book of fiction, the humans would have to be really stupid to actually believe, follow, memorize, and safeguard the book in a way that not a word has been added to or deducted from it. Even if we were to say all his followers are stupid, surely someone from the non-followers would have done something over the course of 1450 years to prove it wasn't real? I have heard of people trying to find mistakes in the Koran and have at the end themselves converted. But I have never verified these stories, so cant say if they are true. And lets not forget, his religion is still the fastest growing in the world, especially in Europe and America.

So if it is all a work of fiction, or copied, surely the guy deserves even more credit to actually take his work so far and influence so many people for centuries? just with a work of fiction? Do you people realize that calling his work fiction or calling him a liar actually makes him even more impressive and powerful? Is there anyone comparable to him in this regard? Just wondering...

and thats the reason it doesn't fit with the people who pray regularly. But i know from my experience that in rural areas of the subcontinent, and areas of middle east too, its hard to imagine a household without a dog.

I lived with a family that cooked everyday for their dog, right after they had cooked their own food. But they never allowed the dog past a specific point in their house(im talking big rural house here). The dog knew that too. His sole purpose was security and its hard to imagine a household not having one. If you dont have a dog, you need to be extremely poor to ensure against robbery. And since people have big land, sometimes 4-5 dogs is common. Again, only for security.

Also, since most muslim countries are developing countries, lack of vets might be another reason. People aren't rich in the first place, so how much will it cost if you want to keep a dog, that too in an area with no vets? Basic health service is sometimes not available for humans so inviting a dog to live with you is allowing new diseases in.

Report detraveller February 6, 2017 11:33 PM GMT
but all these factors are secondary. Its an unclean animal for them and that reason alone probably results in over 80% of them not keeping the dog as an indoor pet.

Detraveller - I had another collie that was brought up on a farm in Loch Maben, and the farmer got rid of the dog when the dog was six, due to the dog's pancreatic disease. He could no longer function as a working sheepdog.

When the dog came into our house, he refused to go into the kitchen. After about 2 weeks, I eventually coaxed him into the kitchen and kinda gradually ruined his training, whatever it was...but he would creep into the kitchen like he was cowed.

Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 1032        Narrated byAbuDharr
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black dog. I said: O AbuDharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguishes it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as you are asking me, and he said:
The black dog is a devil.

Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 5248        Narrated byMaymunah
One morning Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was silent with grief.  Maymunah said: Allah's Messenger, I find a change in your mood today.  Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Gabriel had promised me that he would meet me last night, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never broke his promises; and Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) spent the day in this sad (mood).

Then it occurred to him that there had been a puppy under their cot. He gave an order and it was turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it on the place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: You promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.

So the very next morning he commanded the dogs to be killed. He announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog used for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens).

Their flags are crossed swords - They did not listen to Jesus as he said - those that live by the sword die by the sword.

When Jesus(God) returns he won't look at Muhammad's plagiarism and say this was holy -
Those that side with lies are liars.

They've imposed their will on God's people in Jerusalem. They refuse them their religious rights. While in Mecca/Arabia they refuse the Jews the right to enter that country.

God will wipe them away - or they will find the truth.
Jesus was the summit of the old testament, he was the old testament.
