it began in the 7th century. when mohammad attacked mecca and then others later. you really think that God's messenger needed to do all this. and whats the excuse for God to send his Terminator.

oh you Christians you have corrupted the Bible!!!! I need to send you a new hard copy edition in arabic, because its difficult to lose it, and this time I will send it to the peace loving arabs!!!
