Almost every major element of the Qur'anic story can be found in Christian and Jewish folklore that dates hundreds of years prior to the time of Prophet Muhammad. Most early Muslim commentators and scholars identified Dhul-Qarnayn as Alexander the Great, and some modern ones do too. Historical and Archaeological evidence has revealed that the real Alexander was a polytheistic pagan who believed he was the literal son of Greek and Egyptian gods.
The theory that Dhul-Qarnayn is Cyrus the Great has little evidence in its favor compared to the overwhelming evidence that the story is actually based on a legendary version of Alexander.
Today, there is no giant wall of iron and brass between two mountains that is holding back a tribe of people; it likely never existed.([[Dhul-Qarnayn and the Alexander Romance|''read more'']])}}</option>

Many converts to Islam are more zealous than those who are born into it; learning as much about their new found faith as they can. When they do that, the only conclusion that they can draw is that Islam's deity endorses terrorism and rewards the terrorists. The hate for non-Muslims found in Islam is quickly picked up by those who convert to it. As a result, these converts often turn to the practice or support of terrorism and violence; often showing hatred for their own countries, people, and their former way of life. (read more)
