The Bible endorses homosexual behaviour and we shall provide one such example which is exemplified in the story of the relationship between Daniel and the prince of the eunuchs.
The verse is:
“Vayiten ha-Elohim et-Daniyel leKHesed u’leraKHamim lifnei sar hasarisim” (Daniel 1:9)
[i.e., "Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs" (KJV).]
The Hebrew words, which describe the relationship between Daniel and the prince of the Eunuchs, are “KHesed” and “RaHamim”….Read More
1 / 02 / 06 - Some time ago, MENJ published
Hans Kung's view of the Prophet Muhammad(P) along with a brief editor's note. It seems that Jochen Katz was quite outraged at this but more so at the "editor's note" and soon after
published a "response". In short, Katz is saying that Kung only expressing his own personal opinion about the Prophet Muhammad(P). and does not represent all Christians. He objects to the editor's following statement (underlined by Katz):
". . . Hans Kung conveys the Christian opinion on Prophet Muhammad(P)." Of course the editor did not argue that Hans Kung is representing all the Christians and has recently corrected his statement so that it now reads: "...Hans Kung conveys
a Christian opinion on Prophet Muhammad(P)." Certainly, there is no one view among Christians regarding Prophet Muhammad(P) and so, just as Hans Kung does not speak for all Christians,

12 / 30 / 05 - Recently I came across email exchanges that took place between Jalal Abualrab and the Christian missionary Sam Shamoun. I have heard that the missionary Shamoun is a very abusive, malicious and nasty individual, constantly mocking and abusing Islam as his hobby. After reading the mail exchanges, it became clear to me that this missionary is indeed a very arrogant and abusive person. I was surprised to see that Katz, who generally maintains a polite tone, did not say a word to condemn Shamoun's abusive behaviour.
In this paper I would like to comment upon the discussion and offer my own perspective, views and observations as a reader....

12 / 28 / 05 - This is not the place to review the history of Christian-Muslim relations. This history may now be read in the erudite works of Norman Daniel. The reading is sad and agonizing. The conclusion which may be safely drawn from this history is that Christianity's involvement with the Muslim World was so full of misunderstanding, prejudice, and hostility that it has warped the Western Christian's will and consciousness. "Would to God Christianity had never met Islam!" will reverberate in the mind of any student patient enough to peruse that history....
