Curly Posted February 20, 2008 I received an email a couple of days ago and it went a little like this…… Read all of this, it is interesting!! Read down to > the very bottom highlighted in green , IT'LL > GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS!!! You don't want to miss > this! ((*_*) ) VERY INTERESTING- 1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq 2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq ,was the cradle of civilization! 3. Noah built the ark in Iraq 4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq 5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq ! 6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq 7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq 8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq 9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel 10. Amos cried out in Iraq ! 11. Babylon , which is in Iraq , destroyed Jerusalem 12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq ! 13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the Fiery Furnace!) 14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the 'writing on the wall' in Iraq 15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq 16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq 16. The wise men were from Iraq .. 17. Peterpreached in Iraq . 18. The 'Empire of Man'described in Revelation is called Babylon , which was a city in Iraq ! And you have probably seen this one: Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq ! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris And Euphrates Rivers . The name Iraq , means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated With it than Iraq And also, This is something to think about: Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages ... The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; And there was peace. (Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - As you may have noticed but the verse isn’t correct. So as you can imagine I was offended that my college friend could send me something like so I decided to reply back to all the people included in the chain letter to set it straight, with the following email…. Hi, I doubt any of you know me except for Abby BUT I would just like to correct this chain email. The verse quoted in the qu'ran doesn't exist it was completely made up check it out for yourself on http://www3.alislam.org/index.jsp As a Muslim I'm actually offended by it and honestly hope that no believed the quote as for the rest I can't say for sure. I am certain of one thing which is the American government didn't target Iraq to cleanse it of evil but to cleanse it of its oil. You decide! Regards, Sue ------------------------------------------------- I didn’t think anyone would reply but they did surprisingly with the following comments……… Hi Sue, I don't see the reason why you had to send me the e-mail below. I understand that you are a devoted Muslim but there is no need to take the e-mail seriously. The e-mail was forwarded to me and guess what, i haven't even read it. I am honestly not bothered about the American or Iraq government, i am just minding my own business. I don't mean to be rude or anything but i will appreciate it if you don't e-mail me about what you think is right or wrong especially when the e-mail is not even real. Remain Blessed & Hi Sue Thank you for the email. i have never received this chain email but it is really nice to see that someone has noticed propaganda being sent in such away as to make people believe this. I for one never read chain mails. But i will ensure that i forward this email to all those that i know so that they are made aware of this. Aba ------------------------------------ And I was left thinking what the hell is wrong with the world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara. Posted February 20, 2008 Sue, why are you friends with email forwarders? I long ago trained people not to forward me that kind of crap. As a result the only emails I get are notifications from the bank that my bill is due Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarGazer Posted February 20, 2008 lol@ trained people, me too! I often warn my teenaged sister never to trust forward information, especially those regarding Islam...so misleading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
