As I mentioned below, we know that the Fa…

It was amazing to see the pope supporting the chanting of hymns in Coptic & not in any other language. I personally think that we shouldn't say hymns in any other langua…

MASR,
Thanks for your post. We have made some progress between us at least.
I see that for you, you agree that there are problems with the Saudi Curriculum. That's true. But what you are not realizing is that this curriculum is taught in ALL scho…
OK.. maybe the best question to ask is:
What Coptic hymn have you played to a friend who is not Coptic, and they have NOT liked it??
I played to them Arepsalin.. and that went down well, they even danced an Irish jig to it.
I played Golgotha, and…

Unfortuantely, you continue to take verses out of context and a reply with no substance what so ever. You keep turning this into a "my religion" "your religion" debate, which I …
Hi MASR,
I speak to many muslims, even outside of religious dialogue, and they tell me that they cannot deal with me because I am a kafir.
Look: Your god hates non believers (muslims). Therefore, it is the duty of each and every muslim to also hat…

Saint John Chrysostom talks of these problems.
He says that the devil will always give you bad thoughts.

Christians justified racism and violence against black people; they justified it by claiming the Bible ordered them to do so.
