My Spam: Muslim Nutjob or Right-Wing Conspiracy.....?

[distantearlywarning]

I received this spam email the other day. At first I thought it was just some weird Islamic thing, but after actually reading it, I started to wonder if it was actually sent by some right-wing Christian organization in an attempt to drum up agitation against Muslims. It just seems very...inflammatory...rather than prostelytizing (sp?).

I'm not including the whole thing, because it's very long, but am posting some highlights. This was apparently directed at college students, as it came to a university account and the other listed recipients had .edu addresses at my school. What do you all think?

*Puts tinfoil hat on*

"INVITING CHRISTIANS TO THE RIGHT WAY AND REDEMPTION"

"(This brochure has been prepared to briefly describe the Islamic belief in Allah and the status of Jesus (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him (PBUH)) as well as to invite Christians to the path of righteousness and redemption.)"


"THE ALMIGHTY AND THE MAJESTIC ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED), STATES IN HIS HOLY QURAN:
“SAY: HE, ALLAH, IS ONE.” (AL-IKHLAS: 1)
CHRISTIANS, BY SAYING: “FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT”
ARE SUBMITTING TO A POLYTHEIST BELIEF.
IS THIS NOT A CLEAR DEVIATION?"

"ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED), IN HIS SURA AL-IKHLAS MOST CERTAINLY DECLARES THAT:
“HE BEGETS NOT, NOR WAS HE BEGOTTEN.” (AL-IKHLAS: 3)
CHRISTIANS ARE BELIEVING THAT “JESUS MESSIAH IS THE SON OF GOD”
IS THIS NOT A CLEAR IGNORANCE?"

"WHEREAS, AS INFORMED IN THE HOLY QURAN
JESUS (PBUH) HAS SAID:
“I AM A SERVANT OF ALLAH, HE HAS GIVEN ME THE SCRIPTURE AND MADE ME A PROPHET.” (MARYAM: 30)
WHEREAS, CHRISTIANS IDOLIZE JESUS (PBUH).
WHAT A HUGE DEVIATION THIS IS."

"While, the Christians are wrongly accepting Jesus (PBUH) as God. Jesus (PBUH), is saying; “I am not Allah, but his servant. I am not Allah, but his prophet and messenger.” Christians have gone astray by making a creation, their creator, Allah. They are slandering their holy prophet, and deviating from his path. Can a human be a God? What big denial is this?"

"Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) states that Jesus (PBUH) and Mary “used to eat”. Hence, Jesus (PBUH) used to eat, drink and walk just as any other human. Can such a person be a God? Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is such that He has no beginning nor ending."

"Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) rejects the fabricated statements and extreme views that Christians have of Jesus (PBUH). Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) describes in the Holy Quran, how Christians have deviated so much with their excessive elevation of Jesus that they ignore God and worship Jesus (PBUH) instead: “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth…” (An-Nisa: 171)"

"Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) informs us of the consequence believing in the trinity, which demolishes the basis of monotheist belief. Those who acquire a God alongside Allah, will be made to face Jesus (PBUH) in the divine presence of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) and who so ever slandered Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) and his prophets will receive the punishment they deserve."

"To associate him with having a child (son) is a blasphemy and blasphemy is ingrate avowed."

"The Holy Quran frequently explains that Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is exempt from having a child (son."

"Christians claim that sacrificing their minds and ego to believing in the trinity, is a necessary principle of faith that will save them and purify them of the initial sin, whereas this is nothing other than taking lightly the belief in God. This is clearly disrespectful."

"Oh Christians! Is it possible to believe a book whose divinity has been distorted? Is it possible to defend that a religion built on such a book can be from God? On what evidence do you still reject the last prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? While it is he, who has elevated Jesus (PBUH) and introduced him in the most excellent manner to all believers."

"Not allowing Yusuf Islam to enter the US, was an act driven by malicious crusade mentalities with an ulterior motive to openly antagonise Islam. However, this situation will result in against them. While he was going to meet a few people there now the subject matter has spread worldwide. Yusuf Islam had no gun, nor plane, yet why did the US fear him? They feared him because above all he has faith."


And on and on etc ect. Nowhere in this spam does it offer suggestions about what you should actually do if you decide on the spur of the moment that you need to abandon the untruth of Christianity, nor does it offer a place to send your donations or a link for further information or anything like that. Does anybody else think this is weird or is it just me?

1. Why force me to pick just one? I think a combo is a better choice,

both here and in cheap Mexican restaurants.

Sounds like a Muslim nutcase wrote it. Sounds eerily familiar, and I don't think I could produce something like it when I put on my "magic tinfoil rightwing nutcase headgear".

Now, the person who forwarded it to you ... *that* could easily have been a rightwing nutcase.
