The Islamic religion is FALSE! If Jesus was not crucified, our sins would have already led this world to destruction. And, in the Bible, it states in the book of John, chapter 21; Jesus comes to Peter and the rest of the disciples after Jesus was crucified. He tells them that he has conquered death and those who have faith in him will never die. Jesus does not mean a physical death, but a spiritual death. The only way that Jesus could have conquered death is if he had died after a life of no sin in it. If Jesus never died, then the Bible is false and the roots of Islam of false and Muhammad is false.

The shift in power to Damascus, the Umayyad capital city, was to have profound effects on the development of Islamic history. The first four caliphs had been without exception Companions of the Prophet - pious, sincere men who had lived no differently from their neighbors and who preserved the simple habits of their ancestors despite the massive influx of wealth from the conquered territories. Even 'Uthman, whose policies had such a divisive effect, was essentially dedicated more to the concerns of the next world than of this. With the shift to Damascus much was changed.In the early days of Islam, the extension of Islamic rule had been based on an uncomplicated desire to spread the Word of God. Although the Muslims used force when they met resistance they did not compel their enemies to accept Islam. On the contrary, the Muslims permitted Christians and Jews to practice their own faith and numerous conversions to Islam were the result of exposure to a faith that was simple and inspiring. Medieval Muslims regarded the Great Mosque built by the Umayyads in Damascus as one of the wonders of the world.With the advent of the Umayyads, how ever, secular concerns and the problems inherent in the administration of what, by then, was a large empire began to dominate the attention of the caliphs, often at the expense of religious concerns - a development that disturbed many devout Muslims. This is not to say that religious values were ignored; on the contrary, they grew in strength for centuries.
