The mysterious disappearing thread

So...
Last night I started a thread called "This is Mohammed" that talked about the Arab prophet Mohammed and linked to a very informative site. That thread is gone.
Is it not acceptable to post something supportive of a religion besides Judaism or Christianity? Is it not acceptable to post something supportive of Islam?
The main purpose of the thread was to show the solid link between Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Because I think the common belief is that Islam is a totally different religion and Allah is a different god. It's never really expressed to me that people understand the prophet Mohammed was a good dude.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

I dont know but when i read through the koran i kind of think hes an asshole.
Why is that?

lol seems like a very skeptical website....
Mr Miller, I don't think you are doing a good service to "our side" by making such comments.
alright, that one made me snicker a bit ...
Anyhow, there's this principle in mindfulness meditation ... Observe things non-judgmentally ... Do not infer too much ... Just observe.
This thread, like dkst0426 said, is probably doomed. Observe how this state of affairs comes to pass.
(hint ... How are people responding?)
He's never contributed anything useful for your side...instead give you a bad name.....
yea i think your right...i just left my cubicle and was a little anxious and perturbed.
I guess mohammed wasnt a bad guy...but the people who follow him are jerkoffs.
You cry yourself to sleep at night?
Generalizing like you do makes you just the same as any other ignorant extremist.
Because guys like Miller think all Islam is evil? He can't take the time to read Islamic teachings in order to make an informed opinion. Islam isn't evil.
Nah not really, because i havent exactly blown myself up on a bus or anything.
jesus was 10x cooler than Mohammed..hands down
You haven't gone to that extreme, but your comments are extreme.
And neither is Judaism. But yeah ... Some people have trouble separating religious philosophy from the behavior of all the diverse souls who follow it.
its something else that makes him the same, the comments only reveal it
Im just using my 1st amendement right to freedom of speech
It scares me too, but I don't know how much of that fear is realistic and how much of it is a lack of knowledge. How many people in these countries really do follow these disgusting extreme takes?
there is such things as being responsible, sensible and sensative in your choice of speech.
Just as others are using theirs to express their opinion of your opinion.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

You must leave your cubicle a lot.
Wasn't it Mohammad who convinced people to follow one God? He had a lot to do with all that monotheism stuff that Christians and Jews support.
cross the river to the eastside
Yup, originally it was Abraham that smashed all the idols and told people to worship one god. But people started worshipping idols again before the prophet mohammad.
No thats false...people were following one god way b efore the time of mohammed
Maybe some people but not all..christianity was already established before mohammed came to fame.
Well Mohammad was the prophet of the Arab nation. So maybe more specifically we should be referring to Arabs. I'm not that knowledgable about Islam as of yet. Probably more than most, but I don't know as much as I should to comment on that in particular.
How? Can someone beside Kat and Sea take a thread away, delete it???
I read the thread and thought: wow, that is cool, a new perspective with so much truth in...
...but I usually do not reply to any religious thread due to personal reasons,
so I kept quiet.
but now as its gone, I wonder and am very surprised.
...need to read through this one now... maybe the miracle is solved by now already...
...the world is come undone, I like to change it everyday but change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks.
I'm pretty sure I titled it "This is Mohammad" but it didn't show up in a search. Or on the last 4 or 5 pages. As I was reading it I pasted a bunch of quotes I thought would kind of sum up a lot of what it said about Mohammad amongst all the other stuff. Without making it too long of course. I only spent a few hours reading it. A Lebonese woman I know is going to see if she has an english Qu'ran for me to read. I said thanks but I tried to get the point across that I am not converting to Islam, that I will probably always remain agnostic. I think I may have offender her when I said that it reads like a fairy tale and the sacred texts are far too cryptic to make any modern assumptions. Of course I feel that way about all religions. I don't mean to tread on anyone, just trying to make the point not to try to convert me. I think I've had too many encounters with Jehova's Whitness and Latter-Day Saints. Not that they are a bad thing. Except I tell the JWs it'd be cool to see the apocalypse because I think religion is really fascinating and that would kind of make it more real. That ends up making them want to convert me even more. Mormons don't even try because all the coolness is gone if the apocalypse already happened. Are there any muslims on this board? I've got a lot of questions and I feel bad bugging the people at work about their religion.
