And if you do poast a picture, then as a true believer, someone must cut your head off.
Re-read your Bible, chap. Exodus 20:4 says, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." I believe later on in the Mosaic Law, idolatry was punishable by death. [/b]
since when does islam use the bible as a source?
while judiasm, christianity and islam are all traced to abraham, abraham was waaaaay before moses (and exodus). abraham was the father of ishmael, who, along with his mother hagar, was kicked out by abraham's wife, sarah (who eventually begat isaac). ishmael and hagar eventually settled in mecca and become the founders of islam (in essence).
