We had a vicious claim yesterday by some poster that Islam was into the same God. God never changes. When did He change and grant them genital mutilation for young girls and honor killings?

Yes, the idea of the Christian god advocating stoning women to death is, obviously, completely off the wall.
When did He change and grant them genital mutilation for young girls and honor killings?
Around the same time he granted George Bush permission to hold people for years at Guantanamo without charging them, and then to say "Oops, sorry - our mistake. OK, you can go home now ..."
Yes it is. The Quran says that Allah is the same God that Abraham, Jesus, and Moses believed in. The Old Testament, New Testament, and the Quran (or alternatively the Book of Mormon) are a trilogy. In fact it's a quadrology, since you also have what ever the Bahai use as their book. A bit too much reading though. I prefer Lord of the Rings.
If memory serves, that was about 700 years after he decided to sacrifice himself to himself then resurrect himself so he could undo the curse he had bestowed upon us, therefore changing his mind about the validity of that curse.
He never did. Those practices, and the full-body hijab, are not part of Islam. They existed in the cultures of the area, including the Christian cultures, long before Islam came about.
Indeed, God shouldn't change into a Jewish peasant who sacrifices himself to himself, should he? Nor should he randomly change his name multiple times, or divide into three separate entities. And he shouldn't change his name from Elohim to Yahweh to Jehovah to Yeshua to Jesus, either.
God. God never changes. < /Ron Perlman - Fallout 3 >
And Damn, Ron Perlman himself beat me to it. ;-)
*looks towards the beginning of Christianity, which influenced Islam, along with Judaism*
*of course, if these people had an education outside of the home, they would know their own history*
“God never changes.”
Yes.
But no one ever founds a church, a sect, a schism, offshoot, heresy, rediscovery, reformation, or whatever, based on the idea that God changed.
They all ALWAYS say the church they’re leaving either lost their waqy or never knew it. Martin Luther, Joseph Smith, Mormon Sepratists, the entire spectrum of Protestants, the New Testament…
Or like David Koresh, I AM God.
Either way, it doesn’t change the history of Islam. You just hew to a different branch of the tree and insist yours is the original and bestest.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
