Our dear Samer who pretends to know what the Qur'an says in Arabic but does not have the courage to admit that he has no clue about the Arabic language wrote:

>Jimmy Swaggart was breaching purity, piety , the christian way and then we find he had a mistress

OK and let me paraphrase this: and Abul Qasim aka Qutham aka Muhammad aka Ahmad (did I miss any name) the caravan raider and Arabian warlord was preaching purity piety the Islamic way and then we find in Surat al-tahreem (Q66) that was cheating on his 22 wives and concubines as he had a mistress who was also a slave (oh I'm shocked) and her name was Mariya al-Qibtiya who was given to Muhammad by a certain al-Muqawqas.

She was only a slave (at least Jimmy Swaggart did not have a slave) Oh shocking, and Abul Qasim's 22 other wives and concubines were all angry. But as usual Gabriel came to the rescue with a word from Allah the Arabian deity that it was OK for Muhammad to have sexual realtions with Maria al-Qibtiya and that his wives must listen to him! Really?

>IT WAS A BIG SCANDAL

It sure was and in the case of Jimmy Swaggart he had to face the media. Muhammad? He got help from Allah who told him that it was OK to have another mistress/slave

So you tell us ya ayuha al-falyasoof al-kabeer: If it was OK for Muhammad to have another mistress/slave then why would it not be OK for Jimmy Swaggart to have a mistress who was not even a slave?

But again I feel sorry for you because you are the victim of poor Muslim education
