There is no god but YHVH.

My dear Safraz –

Allow me to put a few things into ‘context' for you. There is no god but YHVH.

YHVH – the god of Abraham, the god of Isaac, the god Jacob (Israel) and the god of Moses established an EVERLASTING COVENANT with His chosen people – His people of promise – who we call today the Jews. YHVH – specifically said that the enemies of the ‘Jews' were His enemies and their friends would be His friends. That pronouncement indicates to me, at least, that any one or group that would set themselves opposed to Israel and their very existence are setting themselves in opposition to YHVH as well. There is no god but YHVH.

Without the a-hadith there is very little ‘context' to be found in the quran – the combination of the a-hadith and the quran is very worrisome when viewed in the light of my previous paragraph. If Muhammad / Allah had restricted their violent activities specifically (in writing – so to ‘speak') then you could make a valid comparison to YHVH's instructions and directives in the Tanakh. But, the violent admonitions in the a-hadith and quran are ‘open ended' and more importantly are often pointedly directed at the ‘Jews' and therefore at YHVH. There is no god but YHVH.

It matters not what Muslims think or want the a-hadith and quran to say – what matters is exactly what the a-hadith and quran do say – and what they say is hateful and diametrically opposed to the well being of the 'Jews'.

There is no god but YHVH.
