In the Bible versus the Quran: a Woman said: Give up your Son to Eat Him
According to 2 Kings 6:25-3 , the Bible mentions a horrible story; a woman cooked her son and ate him. When the king heard such a he tore his robes.
As the king was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help me, my lord, O king!” This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ we cooked my son and ate him; but the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.
This inhuman, barbarous, cruel, ruthless, heartless, merciless story is not found in the Quran.

Cannibalism in the Bible (4):
2 Kings 6:25-30
New International Version
25 There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 The king replied, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”
28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’
29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”
30 When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and there, underneath, he had sackcloth on his body.

27He said, “If the LORD does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”
28And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
29″So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?” 28And the king asked her, “What is your trouble?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him.’ But she has hidden her son.” 30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes—now he was passing by on the wall—and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body—

26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:
Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?
Top Spring Beach Footwear Trends 2009 : Choose According To Your Instincts
While enjoying on a sea beach in spring, we all know that swimming and sunbathing are not the last things we crave for. Undoubtedly, buying and wearing a befitting beach wear only never gives your ‘beach fashion sense’ a finishing touch. There is more to it.
So the next time you plan a trip to a sea beach nearby, never forget to include a comfortable, colorful and cozy beach footwear in your ‘beach luggage.’ Because you also need to walk,stroll,run, and play over there, not only swim and bath as I said earlier.
If You Love To Walk Fashionably : Then you have got the answer in a pair of sidewalk surfers. They are an innovative blend of style, comfort and fashion. I mean, can’t a footwear be called as a stylishly innovative one if it is a blend of a sandal and a shoe?

The comfort and the ease it gives you while walking on the beach can be felt only when you slip on this beach fashion footwear. The freshest and smartest!
If You Only Love To Be A Queen : There are many women whom even a vibrating place like a sea beach can’t keep away from using ornaments and precious stones. So if you belong to this breed of self-made queens, then there are beaded beach sandals made especially for you.

So wear a pair of beaded beach sandal and turn the golden sand into a red carpet for you so you can walk elegantly on it like a real queen.
If You Love Playing But Hate Discomfort : Playing on the sea beach can be refreshing, of course. But an uncomfortable footwear can play the role of an ultimate villain.

So the next time if your beach ball jumps onto the water, you are not required to waste too much time putting off your beach footwear.
Just shake off your feet and the slides are out of your legs. Go and jump into the water and bring the ball back. You will look like a champion coming out of water after saving a life. You just saved a ball from dying. Mind It!
If You Have Got Active Legs : If you have got your adrenaline levels high, and always look for chances to run and play on the beach then there is no way you should not buy a pair of flip flops.
The designers make special flip flops using qualitative and non-heavy materials such as rubber to make your physical maneuvers on the beach a pleasing experience.
The rubber flip flops are breathable footwear which keep providing your all-the-time-active-legs enough oxygen to keep running. Most importantly, they come at cheaper rates to. So, you won’t find an extra hole in your wallet too.
If You Love To Stroll Only : So what if you hate running, playing and jogging on the beach? Still you have got the right to wear a pair of flip flops. Stroll down the beach in these leather flip flops.
The designers are using best leather available in the market to give your personality an elegance others can only think of. They will give you much support and beauty to your legs. A suitable beach footwear for a chubby woman. After all, they hardly run.
If You Act Like A Fish : If you see yourself not active on the sand only but love to run in knee-deep water too with someone’s hands in your hands, then what else could be better than a pair of thong sandals.
