Guys, someone sent me a Quran in the mail and idk who did it 😂
So it was you, was it, Mollie? 😂
At least the cover is pretty
At least the cover is pretty
Just randomly opened the Quran and this is the first verse I read:
"Fight those from among the People of the Book who believe neither in God, nor in the Last Day, nor hold as unlawful what God and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, nor follow the true religion, until they pay the tax willingly and agree to submit." The [ancient] Jews [used to] say, 'Ezra is the son of God,' and the Christians say, 'The Messiah is the son of God.' These are but their baseless utterances. They imitate the assertions made in earlier times by those who deny the truth. May God destroy them! How far astray have they been led!" (9:29-30).
To define some terms,
People of the Book= Jews and Christians
His Messenger= Muhammad
"submit" the Arabic word for submit is where we get the word "Muslim" from. Muslim=one who submits to God. So, when it says they should be made to submit, I presume that means convert, but I could be wrong.

Well, according to Biden we shouldn’t call mothers ‘mothers’ but birthing persons, ‘cause not all women give birth. Some people who identify as men to, too.
(Tell me I’m not the only who thinks that’s insane?!)
