Muslim passage

[NickiD]

Wow - not having access to the Muslim bible, not sure of the validity but thought you madjackers could help. I receved this in an email today.


==========================

This is something to think about! Since America is typically
represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)

Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

Note the verse number!!!!!)

it's not true http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/koran-war.htm



Koran 9:11 Refers to the American Military Action in Iraq-Fiction!


Summary of the eRumor
A verse in the Koran, which happens to correspond to the date of the Attack on America, predicts that "the wrath of the Eagle" would be felt throughout the lands of Allah.


The Truth
This is a hoax.
The quote is not from anywhere in the Koran (or Quran).
Chapter 9 verse 11 actually says "But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and we make the communications clear for a people who know." (M. H. Shakir translation)

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

This is kind of strange. Makes you wonder.

Verse from none other than the Quran.

Prophetic?

A verse from Muslim teachings.

Quran ( 9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands
of
Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more
rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and
there
was peace.
