Sometimes art imitates life. Here's comic Spider-Man emulating his live-action counterpart played by Tobey Maguire:

SUPERMAN: PRESIDENT LUTHOR

Howdy! I know I’ve said this before, but it really is time for me to get back to updating this blog on regular basis. So, today, for no particular reason (wink wink), I’ve chosen to review this specific comic book, which collects several stories from the year 2000, when DC Comics had Lex Luthor get elected President of the United States. Yeah, that’s right. DC had an evil billionaire with no…

When Funky Cold Christine Comes Down

Speaking of Read my Body. Didn't someone mention in a fan podcast that Tone Loc was originally invited to the Hot in the Shade recordings to rap on Read My Body? I think it was Paul Halligan Jr. who co-wrote Rise to It as well as Read My Body. Why should one doubt the man, moreover, this idea seems anything but absurd when I can't help but think of Tone Loc's 1989 hit Funky Cold Medina. And when I think of Funky Cold Medina, I obviously think directly of Christine Sixteen. And that means we've already left rap behind us again.

But let's politely take out the guitar part from Christine Sixteen, sampled on Funky Cold Medina, when it has already been served to us so beautifully on a silver platter. And while we're at it, then also also its small, extremely inconspicuous counterpart that can be found on Crazy Nights' When Your Walls Come Down. And by small I really mean just teeny tiny small. Just listen to it. Some of you might say: "Yes, of course, exactly! Ha, ha!". But maybe in the end the exact opposite will come out of it. And then, of course, I would look pretty stupid. Well, that's a risk I'm willing and have to take. But it is only up to you, anyway. Always.

I recommend that you only let these small sections run for 1-2 seconds at a time and then refresh the page, because it just whizzes by so quickly. So, click play, and be quick. Or be a lazy egg:

[numbers-31-blog]

Satanism isn't opposed to religion as such, but to the Christian religion specifically (though we also have brothers in Africa and the Middle East -- the Iblissiya, Azzeddini, and the Yezidis -- who oppose Islam with equal fervor).

Religious liberals will say that there is only one God and that He/She/It is not Christian, Muslim, or Jewish and I can agree with you on that, but know that neither the Christians nor the Muslims could ever agree with such a statement. In the Bible, Paul states in his letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 10.20) that the 'gods' the (non-Christian) gentiles worship are demons. In the old testament, the Jewish god Yahweh repeatedly exhorts his worshipers to kill anyone who worships any god other than him (Deuteronomy 13.6-10) In the Qur'an, the Muslim god Allah promises that the one sin he will never forgive is the worship of anyone besides himself (4.116). And it must be remembered that the Christians, Jews, and Muslims, no matter how much they might hate one another, all worship the same god: the god of Abraham.

So you see, there can be no tolerating Christianity or Islam. By their own admission, the god they worship is not the same as the god others worship. And while the Jews tolerate other faiths, the Christians and Muslims have historically persecuted all other religions whenever they had the power to do so. Even now the Christians are attempting to overthrow the American Republic and replace it with a theocracy -- some of them even consider Donald Trump to be the literal Messiah prophesied in their Bible!

And as for the Muslims? Haven't they enacted Sharia law whenever and wherever they could? How did their prophet Muhammad repay the hospitality of the Jews of Medina when they took him and his followers in and protected them from the Quraysh? As soon as he had enough Muslims in Medina he murdered all the Jewish men and had their wives and children sold into slavery!

Yahweh/Allah/Christ is NOT God, it is HE who is the real devil, the real source of evil in this world. And his worshipers are as much your enemy as they are mine, but you do not yet see it. May Lucifer open your eyes.

Umar

Umar ibn al-Khattab (r. 634-644 CE) was the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate (632-661 CE, as the first four caliphs are referred to by the Sunni Muslims). He was an early convert of Islam and one of the close companions of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (l. 570-632 CE). After the death of Muhammad, he gave his utmost and loyal support to Abu Bakr, who then became the first caliph. After Abu Bakr's death in 634 CE, Umar became the next caliph – he continued his predecessor's campaigns and extended his dominion further from the Arabian Peninsula. In addition to multiple military successes, his reign was marked with marvels in administration. After his death, he was succeeded by Uthman ibn Affan (l. 579-656 CE) as the third ruler of the Rashidun Caliphate.

Early Life & Conversion to Islam

Umar ibn al-Khattab was the son of Khattab ibn Nufayl; he was born in Mecca in 584 CE. Although well educated, he was fond of and skilled in fighting and horseback riding; he had earned quite a reputation as a wrestler. Like Paul the Apostle in Christianity, Umar was a persecutor-turned-believer; he initially despised Muhammad but then became a devout follower, and at times, he even defended the Muslims against physical harassment from the Meccans.

While most of Muhammad's companions slipped out from Mecca undetected during the hegira (migration to Medina in 622 CE), Umar is said to have openly declared his departure and challenged anyone to stop him from doing so – no one did. In Medina, he continued to extend his support for Muhammad and was one of his close confidants, he even participated in the battles of Badr and Uhud (624 and 625 CE respectively). His daughter Hafsa (l. 605-665 CE), who had been widowed in 624 CE, was married to the Prophet in 625 CE, hence making Umar his father-in-law, alongside Abu Bakr, cementing his relationship with the Prophet.

what distinguishes Islam's relationship to the other Abrahamic religions and their texts from christian-style supercessionism? i mean i know that historically Muslim communities have often been better at religious plurality than christian ones, i just don't know what theological/structural factors contributed to that

From a purely neutral perspective, Islam has a concept called Tahrif, which translates to corruption or alteration. The idea is that the previous scriptures have either been tampered with or altered to such an extent that they aren't fully recognized as the 100% written word of God. Thus the Qur'an is established to function, not to replace the previous scriptures, as a new set of laws and guidelines for mankind. Although Islamically, the previous scriptures are considered corrupt, Islam does not reject Judaism or Christianity and do not consider either of them false, this is why the Qur'an refers to them as the People of the Book. For more information, see: the Consitution of Medina.

In terms of the Torah, the Qur'an expresses that the books of Moses are holy, but have been altered or tampered with to such a point that the book no longer could be considered the authentic word of God. However, the laws established are still binding to the Children of Israel. However, the Islamic concept of Tahrif is not concerned with the idea of denying the Laws of Moses, but rather see it as a law exclusive to the children of Israel, thus Muslims hold Paul the Apostle with animosity for tampering with Scripture and annulling various laws incumbent upon the Jewish people. Muslims deny that Jewish people killed Jesus, therefore rejecting the idea of deicide, since Muslims don't believe Jesus was God, nor do they believe that he died on the cross, so there was never a New Covenant formed in place the Old Covenant. As for the gospels, Islam does not recognize the four gospels as being part of the Holy canons, but hold that Jesus, the Prophet, was the Gospel, and that he was the Scripture, the Word so to speak. The Qur'an refers to the Gospel in a singular term, the Gospel of Jesus. Jesus preached his message and there were scribes who recorded his words, but those words have gone missing or have ever since been burnt by the Church, thus we do not have a Gospel of Jesus as we understand it in the Qur'an.

The important part to understand is that the Qur'an is not a book of historicities or chronological events, it is a book of laws and regulations.. Various biblical stories are brought up to establish the reason behind an established law, such as the impermissibility of eating pork.

Yes, there is the idea of supersessionism, but not in the style of Christianity.
