Islam copies Judaism, but claims it's theirs, Mel says!

Описание: Muslims really did copy the Jews in 7 areas!

Muslims have always claimed that the 'Masjid al-Haram', their most holy
site, also known as the Kaaba, coupled with its traditions, was always
situated in Mecca, since at least the time of Abraham (i.e. 1900 BC).

But is that correct? Have all the traditions surrounding the Hajj to
Mecca been around for thousands of years? We think not.

Earlier, Paul from London introduced what he calls the 'Jerusalem
Thesis', which suggests that Islam's holiest site is nothing more than a
poor copy of what was much earlier, and much further north, in the city
of Jerusalem.

Mel, from Sneaker's Corner continues Paul's thesis by introducing yet
another 7 well-known areas which are practiced by Muslims today during
their pilgrimage, yet are nothing more than borrowed practices from the
Bible, and from the Jews themselves, and are all situated in Jerusalem.

They include:

1) The mountains in Jerusalem known as Moriah (the Temple Mount), and
Scopus (directly across from it with the Kidron valley running in
between). These have now become the mountains Marwa and Safa in Mecca,
but are nothing more than 15-20 foot high boulders.

2) The cubed 'holy of holies' in the Temple, has now been replaced in
Mecca as the 'cuboid' Kaaba.

3) The 3 Hagg pilgrimage festivals which took place in Jerusalem are now
the Hajj pilgrimage which are all centered in Mecca.

4) The temple in Jerusalem, referred to as the 'house of god', has now
been replaced by the 'Masjid al Haram', which is the Kaaba.

5) The rest-stop named Bakka used by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem
is still Bakka in Surah 3:96, but is confused by Muslims today for
Mecca.

6) The shaved heads, and the sackcloth, both practiced by the Jewish
pilgrims in Jerusalem, now include the Islamic white cloth worn by all
Muslims devotees, and known as 'Ihram' in Arabic.

7) The circumambulation 7 times around the temple, walking in a
anticlockwise directions, are done exactly the same today by Muslims as
they circumambulate around the Kaaba.

Thus, nothing is historically correct or even new in Islam, a religion
which plagiarizes and mimics what the Jews did hundreds and thousands of
years earlier, but still claims it had it first!
