Turkey Bans Periscope (stockholmcf.org)

stikves writes: According to online reports, a recent court order has banned Periscope across Turkey. The cited reason is the alleged violation of copyrights of a local company named "Periskop." This adds to the list of online services no longer available in Turkey, including Wikipedia, PayPal and WordPress, among others. While access from Turkey to the domain periscope.tv and to the Twitter account "periscopeco" is banned, users can still access Periscope services under the name Scope TR and Twitter account "scopetr." Lawyers from Twitter, Apple and Google requested rejection of the case, "saying it was impossible for a company like Twitter, operating in the U.S., to be aware of the existence of the same brand name in Turkey," reports Stockholm Center for Freedom.

    Christians and Muslims DON'T Worship the Same God!

    I have received quite a few letters recently from Muslims who are insistent that Islam and Christianity worship the same God. If fact, even George W. Bush, a professed "Christian," said the same thing to ABC news correspondent, Charles Gibson...

    In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson, Bush said he believes that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

    "I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty," Bush said. "But I want you to understand, I want your listeners to understand, I don't get to get decide who goes to heaven. The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk," he said.

    Do Muslims and Christians worship the SAME God? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Allah is a fictitious, fabricated, false god from the 9th century ... the moon god (which you will see later in this article). According to www.thetruereligion.org...

    For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God" - and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. -SOURCE

    As proof that the above claim is a lie, we need only turn to the Koran itself, The Women, 4.171...

    "...believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector."

    Clearly, the Koran (written about 600 A.D.) DENIES the Son of God, Jesus Christ! The Koran teaches that God has no Son. In contrast, the Word of God, the Bible, declares in John 3:16...

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

    1st John 2:22 calls ALL Muslims "LIARS" because they deny that Jesus is the Christ...

    "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."

    According to the Word of God, you are a liar and an ANTI-Christ if you deny the Father AND THE SON. Clearly, the Koran and the Bible are completely INCOMPATIBLE. Islam is a big lie, totally contrary to the Word of God. The Koran is filled with demonic lies! There is no common ground, you either believe the Bible or the Koran. You MUST choose! George W. Bush is wrong. The above quote from www.thetruereligion.org is wrong! The Koran is wrong! Islam is a false religion!

    Muslims Deny Jesus' Deity, Crucifixion, and Resurrection!

    At www.islamworld.net, the following statement appears in large bold lettering at the top of the home page...

    "THERE IS NO DEITY WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH, AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER "

    In contrast, the Word of God proclaims in Revelation 4:11...

    "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for t
