salam,
while a nice article, I will show you why it is fake.
Read through it once more, very carefully, and you will notice this:
Quote:ABDULLAH: Brother let us take it step by step. First, enter lslam by saying: I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT Allah. AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS PROPHET AND MESSENGER. Let us say this again, I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT Allah AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS PROPHET AND MESSENGERS. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS PROPHET AND MESSENGER.
DEREK: I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT Allah. I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND LAST MESSENGER. <b>I BEAR WITNESS THAT EISA IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER</b>.
Notice what I have made bold? "Derek" calls Jesus "Eisa" before "Abdullah" ever tells him that was his real name.
After that, Abdullah then says "by the way, Jesus real name is Eisa". Abdullah planned to write this and planned to inform that Jesus's name was Eisa, but thought too quickly and slipped. If Derek was a seperate person who knew Eisa was the real name, Abdullah would not have said "by the way...." he would have said "thats good that you know that!" and it is very obvious throughout reading it that "Derek" knew very little of Islam did not know Arabic, and Abdullah never mentioned "Eisa", yet Derek said it. That is what proves this as false.
This makes it very obvious that this was typed by one person - one person who was thinking fast and got ahead of himself/herself and typed the wrong word too soon.
That error is what lets it known that this article is fake.
Sorry to spoil it for those who thought it was real.
