Richard:

Although your facts about Iraq are overwhelmingly correct, I'm not certain where you obtained the Qu'ran quote.  Not only does the word "eagle" not appear in the Qu'ran at all, but the word "Arabia" appears only once (and not in the context of your quote), and the passage you cite, as a whole, simply does not exist.  (I am happy to be proven wrong if you can tell me where to find it.)

There is only one passage in the Qu'ran that is numbered 9:11, and it reads: "But if they repent and are firm in devotion and pay the zakat, then they are your brothers in faith.  We explain Our commands distinctly for those who understand."

Peace.

  Interesting...

  1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.

  2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was
  the
  cradle of civilization!

  3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.

  4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.

  5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in
  Southern
  Iraq!

  6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor,
  which
  is
  in Iraq.

  7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.

  8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is
  in
  Iraq.


  9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered
  the
  ten
  tribes of Israel.

  10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

  11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed
  Jerusalem.

  12. Daniel was in the lion's den in
  Iraq!

  13. The three Hebrew children were in
  the fire
  in Iraq (Jesus had
  been in Iraq also as the fourth person
  in the
  fiery furnace!)

  14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw
  the
  "writing on the wall" in
  Iraq.

  15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,
  carried
  the
  Jews captive into
  Iraq.

  16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

  17. The wise men were from Iraq.

  18. Peter preached in Iraq.

  19. The "Empire of Man" described in
  Revelation
  is called
  Babylon,which was a city in Iraq!

  And you have probably seen this one.
  Israel is
  the nation most often
  mentioned in the Bible. But do you know
  which
  nation is second? It is
  Iraq! However, that is not the name that
  is used
  in the Bible. The names
  used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of
  Shinar,
  and
  Mesopotamia. The word
  Mesopotamia means between the two
  rivers, more
  exactly between the
  Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name
  Iraq,
  means
  country with deep
  roots.

  Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots
  and
  is
  a very significant
  country in the Bible.

  No other nation, except Israel, has more
  history
  and prophecy
  associated it than Iraq.

  And also... 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 Koran,
  (the
  Islamic Bible)

  Koran (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!) Hmmmmmmm?! God
  Bless
  you all Amen !

  This is
  a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq.
  Pass it
  on
  to everyone and pray.
