Got this in the mail..... do you see the distortion at the end??

[HysteryDiagnosis]

They received this in return.....



Here is the mail.....
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 t hree 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.

17. The wise men were from < FONT face=Arial color=black size=2>Iraq.

18. Peter preached in Iraq.

19. 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
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 through out 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?! God Bless you all Amen !

1. You'd think they'd consider twice before...

bombing the shit out of where any potential remaining biblical artifacts are.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

3. Fear makes people stupid... much more stupid than they

ordinarily are.

[jayctravis]

18. And I guess the Christian Bible documents there have always

been wars. I guess the fundamentalists wish to continue this tradition, regardless of which "side" they're on.

[benito]

2. are you staying home from work on

6-6-06?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. No... I think I'll do a double..... shift that is.

[sniffa]

5. snopes - faLse

[clydefrand]

6. Here is a site for the Koran and here is the verse denoted above:

"9.11": But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know.

I did a search on the Koran on Eagle 9:11 and got no results. Perhaps you can find it if you care to try. I will continue looking for the above reference.

[Catch22Dem]

7. Completely false...you should reply with this as a source

http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran.asp

[HysteryDiagnosis]

10. Oh gosh thanks... I am going to piss off a whole lot of people....

[Individualist]

13. Use the reply all option

That's what I do when I debunk crap like this.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

15. I didn't at first.... then I decided that if friends of a relative of mine

are willing to put this stuff out there.... then then might benefit from a dose of reality.

[hootinholler]

8. That's fun,

Is the koran organized by verses? I admit my ignorance.

-Hoot

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. Chapters (suras) and verses

is the way the Qur'an is organized.

[Burma Jones]

9. Dumbest thing I've seen in a while

Of course, stupid works really well for many of our fellow citizens.....


Here's another debunking in addition to Sniffa's

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/k/koran-war.htm

[HysteryDiagnosis]

14. I just noticed on another Re: Re: email... someone on the list had

already given it the debunk, but I sent snopes and the other out as well.... then I said... here, pray for our troops and gave them the sorryeverybody soldier with his head lowered... that should just about cover it. Thanks guys, you're greeeeeeeat, as Tony used to say.

[NYCGirl]

11. False! There is NO such verse in the Koran (or Quran for that matter)...

Here is the snopes debunking:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran.asp

The first part of the email is still under research

http://www.snopes.com/religion/iraq.asp

[ElsewheresDaughter]

24. the first part of the email is correct..Quran verse wrong

[NMDemDist2]

12. snopes debunked the "Koran" verse years ago n/t

[a kennedy]

16. I've received this "thing" in my e-mail a lot and

I just ignore it, or send that graphic of the amount of money the US has spent on the war back to them. I hate this bible stuff regarding the war. Hate it. I just want to get the h*ll out of there.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

17. Moron nation.... this is what we get for sleeping through history

class..... pity.

[annabanana]

23. It is really very satisfiying

to "reply all" with the snopes fact page....

I do that with a lot of dumb stuff I get (I'm STILL getting the Proctor & Gamble are a tool of the devil stuff)

[mcscajun]

19. Saw this one here last month, too...

and I'll repeat what I said then: there doesn't seem to really be Any Point to it.

I'm serious. Just a string of semi-important unverified 'facts' that can be taken any number of ways...leading up to no conclusion at all.

And the faux 9:11 Koran "quote" -- just the icing on the fairy cake.

It's not even a good screed.

Who knew that fundie e-mails could be so... :boring: ?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

20. Jesus would be proud to see this fanatical justification for cruise

missiles and cluster bombs... not to mention the takeover of Iraq's economy in order to prop up ours.

[Rude Horner]

22. It always amazes me when people buy whatever they read

in an email. I'll never forget when my mother in law passed this morsel of Koran "facts" on to me in an email. In 10 seconds I had Googled it and found it to be false, which of course I replied to her email.

I'd love to find out the moran who ORIGINALLY wrote this in an email and sent it out to a few hundred of his friends. I'd like to know how he feels having to LIE to get people to support the war in Iraq. Then again, it sounds exactly like the RW talking points about the war, so I guess he fits right in.

********
"(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmmmmm?!"
********

Up yours, ya fuckin' douchebag.

[wallwriter]

25. I appreciate the factual and research-based rebuttals.

Here's mine: so what?

[teknomanzer]

26. Why do people have to make up bullshit?

Oh wait, thats how all this crap started in the first place. I suppose its fitting to make up more bullshit to support this whole sham of a war.

When a man lies he murders a part of the world... I used to be puzzled by that statement until recently that is.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

27. Why do people have to make up bullshit?

justify what they know is wrong. It's been going on for centuries.

[RagAss]

28. It makes them feel enlightened and powerful.....

for a brief minute in their otherwise powerless, pitiful existence.


fuggem all......
