When pose this question of differant races, it was amazing at the response of black Americans. 1 object on the table was the Bible; Second object was Holy Quran; Third object was Torah; Fourth object was map to way out of building. When given the same amount of time of 5 minutes, it was amazing how many black Americans come up with the wrong answer. You see, the rules are that you can only pick "one" object. So of the 4 objects which one would you choose ? It tells you about the type person you are and your understanding of scripture and life itself.

Brother Jamal, your guess is as good as mine, most folk reading this would make the Bible their first preference. But if I had to choose I would select the Quran first, then the Bible second. One of the reasons why the Nation Of Islam taught us to extract principals from both books because they were stolen from our ancestors and made into mind controlling instruments.

I can say more but that's my short take...more on this topic later. As-Salaam Alaikum

So the one Christian brother grabbed the Bible...He was burned up with his Bible in this hand. The other Muslim brother grabbed the Quran and was burned up with his Holy Quran in his hand. Then the jewish brother grabbed the torah and he was burned up with the Torah in his hand. Then the young black child grabbed the map to the way out. He was the only one that lived.

The right answer is to choose life since the fact is that Truth is Life. Once the Savior taught that the beauty of truth is that it must be discovered from moment to moment. And for the moment the building started burning life meant escaping out of that environment. Nothing else mattered.

Sis. Siebra. .Wa Alaikum Salaam...as one that loves Islam, I understand your answer. But, "your" life is everything. And the life you have been given from Allah the One God is precious and cannot be replaced. But, the books are objects that can be replaced..it is the wisdom and understanding from the books that counts.
