Did Mohammad teach that Muslims would be rewarded for killing?
Satan: Mohammad taught that Muslims would be rewarded
for killing.
Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 1, Book 2, Number 35: Narrated Abu Huraira:
The
Prophet said, "The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's
cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles,
will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or
will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I
not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any
sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause
and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again
martyred in His cause."
God: Jesus Christ taught that Christians would be
rewarded for pure love.
Luke
6:35 "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in
return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.
For He is kind to the unthankful and evil."
Jihad versus LOVE
Jihad Defined: A holy war waged on behalf of Islam as
a religious duty.
Love Defined: Unselfish loyal concern for the good of
another.
US: To retire securely, save like an Aussie
In the United States, fewer than half of all workers participate in an
employer-sponsored retirement plan. In Australia, about 90% of the
workforce has a formal retirement account. The most important difference
between the two systems, as Bloomberg Business Week’s Nick Summers explains in a recent piece,
is that in Australia, contributing to your account is mandatory—and
most workers now put in a minimum of 9% of each paycheck. The result: A
little more than 20 years after it was enacted, Australia’s
Superannuation Guarantee program now has $1.52 trillion in assets, a
little over half as much as the $2.8 trillion parked in American
401(k)s—in a country whose population is only one-fourteenth the size of
ours.

Bible Becomes Best-Seller in 'Secular' Norway... Even beating out Fifty Shades of Grey, Many Surprised
The Bible has become the best-selling book in Norway, which some say is one of the most secular countries in Europe.
