Reader comment on item: The Muslim Claim to Jerusalem

Every time I read a Daniel Pipes article, I ingest history and knowlege. This article was so obviously well researched, I cannot doubt the facts presented. That the Prophet Muhammad claimed as being Muslims, Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Jesus, and even King David, is so contrary to biblical history and history in general, as to be ridiculous. Talk about revisionism, it seems part of the Muslim culture along with abject intolerance of other religions, tyranny against those who do not agree with them, and a determination to rule the world no matter if they have to destroy it and all of humanity to achieve this goal. Why should they care, as they value the "afterlife" more than this life given to them by the Creator of us all. Are they in for a rude awakening!

I can only assume there are some very fine Muslim individuals. I wish they would speak up against those who are bloodying their religion: but then, that would take more courage than many people have.
