I don't think anyone would call Mohammed a zealot.
Well if someone called Mohammed a zealot in the way that Aslan is calling Jesus a zealot that would be *quite* a claim:

Zealot:
" a member of a radical, warlike, ardently patriotic group of Jews in Judea, particularly prominent from a.d. 69 to 81, advocating the violent overthrow of Roman rule and vigorously resisting the efforts of the Romans and their supporters to heathenize the Jews."
Zealot | Define Zealot at Dictionary.com

Who knew Mohammed was a Jew!!! Someone call Fox!!!

The Bible is the LIVING WORD OF GOD that scholars who are not born of the spirit will never understand. They for one speak without the spirit of the word which it was written. The natural man can not define the Bible and come with any real meaning of the word.

To study the Bible with the natural mind without the Holy Spirit will never be able to find the true meaning or truth. It is above scholars who are not born of the spirit. It is fruitless.

Absolute blaspheme!! What you have just said goes against the very spirit of Jesus Christ. What you have just said suggests that the Word cannot stir the hearts of non-believers. What you have just said is that Christ did not die for the sins of all.

I wish one of the "Christians" who are all about this FOX interview would fess up and tell who told them this book is bashing Jesus and Christianity. It had to be a mass email and I'm just curious about the origins. That and who told the herd to go spam Amazon.

Rot, otherwise no person could be convicted of sin by reading the Bible.

Hmmm...good points. Has some obscure baptist minister issued a fatwah on this guy and thus made international headlines? Lol, has an emassy been sacked because of his book? Anyone beheaded yet? No? Hmmmm...

This ass is nothing but a foul mouthed rabblerouser with an agenda. He is a Muslim hack.
