In respect to Jerusalem ID and Navel, the Bible says that Jerusalem is Canaanite her father was an Amorite, and her mother was a Hittite. Jerusalem's Navel was not cut, not washed, not salted and not swaddled. In addition, the Bible describes a creature that eats grass and his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the Navel of his belly. His bones are like bars of iron. He is very important because "He" is the chief of the ways of God. Also, the Bible suggests that you have to fear the LORD if you are looking for a healthy Navel. Then you better read what the Bible says about the Navel in Song of Solomon. On the other hand, The Quran does not mention the Navel. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2007-05-14 ] In man's history, the first glass of wine Biblically justifies Racism, Color discrimination and Slavery. Herein, the second glass of wine Biblically justifies committing adultery between the daughter and her father (Lot); a very shameful evil act that ended up with the creation of two big nations, Ammon and Moab.

The Quran says that Allah left a sign for Lot's nation; this sign needs serious scientists to dig for. The Quran and Islamic teachings deny the Biblical story about Lot and his daughters (who were three or more and were pure and clean). The Quran considers Lot as a Messenger who had done his job perfectly.
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2007-05-13 ] The "Perfect, just and righteous" Noah as the Bible said plants a vineyard, gets drunk, and lies around naked in his tent.

This biblical story had been used to justify slavery, racism and color discrimination.
On the other hand, the Quran says that Noah was one of the great Messengers; He had a big problem with his son. His son was unbeliever. This problem ended up with the dramatic death of his son (drowned in the flood).
