Islam Teachings

EVER WONDER WHY?


Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith

But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist!

Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God

But when Muslimah does the same she oppressed

When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the household?

But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"!

Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom?

But when Muslimah wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!

When a child dedicates himself to a subject he has potential.

But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is hopeless!

When a Christian or a Jew kills someone religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!

When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him.

But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!

When there is a trouble we accept any solution? If the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it.

When someone drives a perfect car in a bad way no one blames the car.

But when any Muslim makes a mistake or treats people in a bad manner - people say "Islam is the reason"!

Without looking to the tradition of Islam, people believe what the newspapers say.

and the reaction to the Arab world is chilling. Nobody is criticizing these extremists, hopefully its out of fear and not colaboration.

i do say some usama bin ladin is a fukhead but hizbillah if it was not for them who ppl so call them "extremists" lebanon would now be called israel just like there is no palestine on he atlas map whatever.

thanks

EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS FACT

really nice point.......i m a muslim too and i cant be more proud of myself

SubhanAllah my friend .. you have written very beautifull remarks and comments .. i really respect ur comments and thoughts .. may Allah bless all of us.. Amin

SubhanAllah!!!!

Jews can have beard and Nuns can cover their hair because they don't blow up when the get on the bus.

بارك الله فيك يا اخى ............you are a good man

why is it when most people get blamed for something or treated unfairly they deal with it
but when an islamic person gets blamed for something or treated badly it's rascism

why is it when most religeous people are mocked about they're religeon they deal with it
but when mohammad or allah get's mocked islamic people riot and burn stuff?

respect to u . very well said
pz to all

You earn the title of terrorist, when you suddenly divert your anger to a lesser and smaller source (civilians). Its like if some strong guy picked a fight with me and struke me in the face. I would like to retaliate but hes is far too strong, so i go pick a fight not with him, but to his little brother that is playing in his backyard not knowing what is going on. Thats terrorism. Be a man, not a coward. Attack the very people who picked a fight with you, not the innocent civilian who is just trying to survive.

i groupof muslims wanted to be able to practice sharia law ( vasicaly be able to beat his wife and kids) and rightfully they were denied ...soem other group of pple with some crazy religion were they dont allow medication almost let thier kids die of some kind of flu ..... they had thier kids taken and medicated thn given back yay for realists

so what are you talking about ?!! from were does ppl came whit this ideas i don't know some times i think they just say any thing from there heads

??!!!

Does not permit one to beat their wife and kids.
One can find plenty of examples of (so-called) prophets raping and molesting woman in the Bible, but we don't associate these with Judeo/Christian people and tradition. And yet, daily, in every city in America, you can hear a police scanner blowing up with calls of domestic violence and R**e Something tells me they're not responding to Muslims.

Show me some scripture that supports raping and molesting...... You won't find in the Bible, maybe the Quran, but not the Bible.

Don't confuse the truth of peoples sins and try to take them out of context to support your misbelieves.

Romans 3:23-24……..for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

regarding your questions about women staying at home. There is a perception in western culture that in muslim societies the husband decides the fate of the woman and she has no free will. That is why they consider her oppressed.
If a woman covers herself from head to toe out of her own free will she is not oppressed. If she does so out of fear that some lunatic in the street will murder her, then she is oppressed.
Very few universities prevent woman from wearing a hijab in the West. Those that do are wrong. Do not take the exceptions and make them rules.
This is the definition of a terrorist. : the calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimindation or coercion or instilling fear." When a muslim commits a crime in the name of his God, he becomes a muslim terrorist. When a Palestinian does he is refered to a Palestinian terrorist (not a muslim), because he commits his act in the name of Palestine. What Israel does, under the deffinition of terrorism, while it might not be right, is not considered terrorism.
When you make the claim that Islam is the perfect religion, in esence what you are doing is challenging a person to a debate. Your are saying my religion is perfect yours is not. So when a person responds to this statement with critisism, muslims should not get offended and angered (as they have in this forum) for you have started this debate.
In my opinion a lot of the tensions between east and west are due to misconceptions. Many believe that muslim woman are oppressed because they are not given the freedom of choice, and that they are servants of their husbands. Many believe that the Muhammed cartoons are an example of the west hatred towards them, when in reality we are allowing freedom of speech. And this freedom of speech includes material that is offensive to Christians. An atrtist placed the crusifix in a glass of Urine. A portrait of the Virgin Mary was smeared with sh..t Christians found those potrayals as offensive as Mulims found the cartoons. People believe Islam is "evil" because they perceive it to teach love among fellow muslim and hate non-muslims. I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter what the Koran says, but what each and evey muslim interprets it to be and feels in his heart. But I also want mulims to back up their words with action. To express anger when a fellow muslim speaks ill of non muslims. You might sense hatred comming from the west, but I also sense hatred comming from the east. We have to bridge that gap, and start understanding one another, or else we will never have peace.

you should get 10 out of 10 !!
In my thinking all these religious books was written long time ago and at that time it was ok to follow all the sayings. But now a days things changed how can a women stay home when you have to worry about a lot of bills, good education for the kids, how can you tell that girls should stay home and read only religious books !!!
Your all the questions are genuine the only difference is "will" meaning in western counrties if women wants to stay home she can stay, if she wants to cover her whole body she can do it, but she is not forced to make all choice.
Killing somebody on the name of god is the worst thing you can do if you are muslim, christian or hindu or any faith. In no religion you can justify that behead the innocent unarmed unknown unaware person who don't even know why he is getting killed, tell me one thing why only in islam they hate non-muslims why ????? we are human beings too we got the same blood like any muslim so why there is hate, why muslims are fighting with christian, why muslims are fighting with jews, why muslims are fighting with hindus, why they are killing each other (shia

evry muslim lady unless shes in afghanistan chooses to wear it. and never was it for muslims to kill innocent ppl in the name of their lord.. i suggest u should read something or another about islam b4 prejudging. the muslim women first of all is so much encoured to marry the best man... first it is her mothers choice whether she should marry som1 then HERS. and lemme tell u also the dowry goes to her and its encouraged to be BIG..... and we kno the who ever does those crimes against marry or jesus or mohammed... there is no escape from their lord... this the first time of heard of that but thats absolutl obsurd and disgusting and 4 sure hes not going anywher after death but bak to his lord. and also we r the only religion that says it is manditory to give money to others ie other ppls of religion ...beside our religion and what u said about the non muslims is not tru we have to live in peace together but it is them that start slaughtering us first so what should we do celebrate???? yes have evrything u want as long as u kill our women and children????... u need to look more into the text and not just take it for the appearance... obviously evry single detail wont b put in the quran from the time it started to the end. sorry im typing o fast thers typos but u get the drift.... the prophet said the best thing in this world is a chaste women... so tell me that women r oppressed??? tell me that they have to just listen and obey.... thers so many things to say its just a big honking peice of text is not attracting to the reader

DONT YOU GUYS GET 4 WIVES?,,,,,,,,,,A BIT GREEDY DONT YOUTHINK!

ur rite.. we can get 4 wives.. within reasons.. ur not allowed to just go and have 4 wives.. obviously this is not the case....

atleas twhen they get married their wife is told about it and can disagree and that's better than you peole cheating with ten other girls

most men are loyal in the western world
you just assume we are what we are on tv, then give out to us if we do the same

You say that Muslims do not kill people innocent people in the name of their lord. Lets look at some of the facts. These are religious people committing these terrorist acts. In Islam as in many religions suicide is a sin. So you mean to tell these suicide bombers are committing a sin. No. They are following the words of holy texts: IX. 38 - 39: Believers, why is it that when it is said to you: ‘March in the cause of God ’, you linger slothfully in the land? Are you content with this life in preference to the life to come? Few indeed are the blessings of this life, compared to those of the life to come. If you do not fight, He will punish you sternly, and replace you by other men.
IX. 41: Whether unarmed or well-equipped, march on and fight for the cause of God, with your wealth and with your persons. IX. 73: Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal harshly with them.
If these passages are taken out of context is beside the point. These terrorists take it to mean to fight non-believers.

As for women covering themselves up, according to many Muslim women living the West, they are forced. If you disagree take up your debate with them.

As for Christians killing Muslims. More Muslims are killed by Muslims than Christians. Read the news. It is this misinformation that spreads hatred.

if women disobey, they dont even have a chance for a free trial. She is shot or stoned on site.

where the F**k do u get all this S**t from.. honestly.. am startin to get ppisssed.. dawwg.. women can have fair trial when ever she wants..

islam was the first religion to give human rights before then there were no humans right and btw atleast muslims read the Quran if you christains would even bother to read you bible and memorize the text cause im telling you now so many muslims know the quran word for word off by heart back to my point if you would bother to read the bible you would learn how to have respect for another religion

this is guy nos wat he is sayin...islam is such a beautifull religion.. ......only if jews and christians left us alone..!!

aztecs had universal sufferage, old age pensions and many more civil rights movements 3000 years ago which most middle eastern countries don't have now

you F**king legend
you, i can respect greatly

SIMILAR TO BIBLE.

the Qur'an says that the Old Testament (the original one, not the King James version over the king this or saint that version, the original one before it was changed by some very stupid people) is true and is God's own work. same with the Torah. and to people who might be offended by me calling those people who changed the Bible stupid, just think about it. how would it be wise to change God's writing

king james, i believe, wrote an account of the gospel and you may have been refering to the saint thomas version of the gospel which, even though it's a valid gospel, is not in the bible either
the bible is not changed, why would anyone change it
it's a dumb rumor
unless you want us to read it in a language that doesn't exist any more

It’s scary because people are being distracted by their political correctness and are not alarmed to the real danger that is growing in astronomical proportions. Terrorism has been laying its eggs for more than half a century, and now all of those eggs are starting to hatch. That means a new generation of Islamic Extremists full of hatred and malevolence. This is bigger then anything the world has ever dealt with. This new threat is greater then Nazism, because it has a religious twist to it. It’s more powerful because it’s not the Fuhrer who is telling you what to do, but god him self. So, Islamic Fundamentalists are using that and the fact that they are under attack from all other religions as a pretext to world domination. This is the reality happening here and now right under the noses and cameras of the international media who are trying so valiantly to avoid facing this undeniable and disturbing fact. If you don’t believe me, go read a book or something. Because education could change this world far more then religion. Just look at some of the comments made under this clip and you'll surely find at least a few idiots proving my point.

I've been bought up as an atheist, i try my best to understand religion. however i don't believe there is a being of higher power. To me religion is a concept (no dis respect) or guidelines to life but one which i cannot see myself agreeing to, people say god gave us free will, and maybe thats the most destructive of all god's creation.

look at the conflict on that page, and this is only a minority of theviews and opinions. this is like a microcosm of the world, and as i was reading the comments i could feel the tension between different people and religions and in the real world it is the same conflicts that bring war and hate(to my belief). current day examples of such conflicts, jews and palistines in isreal, protestants and catholics in norhtern ireland it is not only now that there has been tension between religions, but when we look back in history, there were crussades. Crusades where basically missions to convert people in to which ever religion and war was a way to do so. and people say we learn from history. However i don't believe it is religion which bring about war but people, ignornat people who feel that they need to attack other in order to deffend their own beliefs, this really discourages me from beileiving in religion and God.

Now in a world where science dominates, people lose faith in religion and turn to science where proof seems to surpress belief . Who could blame people for losing faith in religion when there's so much confusion about what messages relgions are preaching and this situation isn't helped by the media nor by people taking extractss from holy scriptures out of context. it only add fuel to the ever growing flames.

In a modern world of diverse cultures people have too many prejudices. people need to understand before they act and people stereotype to readily, and are too ignorant of the world around them. people need to learn to accept people for who they are and as individuals, not collectives, we are all unique and differrent and should not be judged by our beliefs or rictuals but instead strive to undersatnd and accept others. Only then do i beileve religion can work, with out conflict, whether between religions or science or people. If ever there was a need for a miracle now would be the time, look at what the world has become, in my eyes looking at the bigger picture there is only distruction, and if there was a god would he let mankind continue down this path...?

Buy yourself a Holy Bible (NKJ) and read it privately some night in your room 'mphatic': spend hours flicking through pages and reading verses from them or read entire chapters if you like or meditate on a single verse if that is what you prefer. On that night you will be alone yet not alone: you will be 'alone with God'. Get rid of man, get rid of the media, get rid of endless differing views, get rid of this enitre world for one night: shut it all out from crowding everything you do everyday and listen to the Lord of love- Jesus Christ (the Man who hated organized religion).
If you never pick up a Bible again at least you had the respect, decency and humility to give Christ a chance to speak to you for one night of your life. He could also change your life. This is a window into what awaits you if you decide to come aside and rest awhile with Him: 'Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep yourself unspotted from the world.' James 1:27
I will be praying for you mphatic. E.

the bible has been change so many time so many testaments thet reading it is just the word of man and not the word of god the quran has never been changed it said in the quran that it will never be changed that god has protected it for eternity watch some excersim when a devil enters you reading the bible wont take it out but reading the quran will

especially the satanic verses. they're there for a reason

and whats with every muslim thinking the bible is changed?
it's translated, theres a difference!

if you believe it should still be in aramaic which is a completely different language than arabic then the whole allah written on everything was just proved bullshit

and he send his san to us to kill him just becoz of our sin's & you want me to believe in this god ,, he can not protect his own san how come he can protect me ,,, weak god ,, its look like that we believe in god does not exist , Or there is anther real god or anther real religion !!

Alot of people here misunderstand the word religion! and think it's some sect or group! but that is not true at all. and that is why there are many fights, conflicts, wars ect.. going in here and around the world! the concept of religion in Islam is very interesting and universal! because in Islam the religion is a way of life not a sect! and Islam means submission to god! and again people missunderstand this concept as some kind of surrender to a police or something of that sort! for submission to God means to worship him and worship does not mean just to know that he exists for that Satan knows also that fact! so when ur nice to ur parents ur in worship, when u treat people nicely ur in worship, when u help the poor ur in worship, when u work and get money to feed ur family ur in worship, when u have sex with ur husband or wife ur in worship, when u keep the earth clean from pollution ur in worship, when u fight crime ur in worship ect... and that is the basic concept of worship in islam! A way of life and peace and mercy for all the creation! and alot of people have this very wrong idea that islam is a new religion, Islam has been since the day this earth was created and was the way of life(religion) of all the creation and i mean all the creation including the humans, trees, birds,animals ect...each is submitting to his one and only lord and worshiping him in the way that God had designed for him! and also ISLAM came with a very universal message that no one ever came with before and that is its universality, Islam is the only message that has believed in all the messengers that has been sent from God ,,(for the previous messengers were sent only to thier people!) and in that truly is a miracle by its self in a way that helps people to unite because there is no elimination of any sort but an update that corrects and guides,for every prophet who came before ,came and has put a brick on the same straight bath, the path of his creator and that path has been completed finaly with the last and final brick which has been put by the final prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. for no previous prophet has claimed to be the final messenger, but all have asked people to follow that same straight path that he was building!! and we can see the final message was not named after its messenger but after the final message its self which is ISLAM. Another beautifull sight of universality is when we see all the people from different nations and colors and backgrounds, the king, the poor, the rich the black the white the red the brown all stand humbly shoulder to shoulder ,like true brothers in humanity and putting thier concentration and feeding thier soul from one centre and that is the centre or origin of all creation! God Al-Mighty. So as we can see the problem is not the message but the understanding of the people whom the message was delivered to!

a way of life. The different sects (i.e. Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, etc.) are religions. Just to keep that straight. Peace!

How's things bust yo ass, is your breathing any better, thought i would drop you a line after the 3 months of 'chat room madness' ages ago.

aimed to define, name or number how many sects we have in each religion, nor it was a debate about which religion or way of life is better, but was aimed to explain what should be the understanding of people of the word religion. I gave the Islamic view

I gave the Islamic view

was trying to say before metacafe cut my message? that everyone can give his point of view and the aim is to pollinate and exchange ideas in a very respectful and peacfull atmosphere! Wishing peace to all!

Metacafe does that to me a lot, too! Thanks for clarifying your thoughts. Peace to you, too.

Is your breathing any better ?

MANY PEOPLE CAN NOT MAKE THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE AND RELIGION!!A PERSON CAN BE GOOD OR BAD WHETHER HE WAS A MUSLIM, JEW, CHRISTIAN ECT..THATS WHY WE HAVE JAILS IN EVERY COUNTRY IF WE ALL REALIZE! TO PUT THE BAD GUYS IN! ON THE OTHER HAND RELIGION IS FROM GOD! IT’S LIKE A CATALOGUE THAT SHOWES U HOW TO WORK AND LIVE! RULES AND REGULATIONS IF I MAY SAY! AND PEOPLE HAVE THE CHOICE TO FOLLOW IT OR NOT TO DO SO!! SO DON'T BLAME THE RELIGION AND ALL THE MUSLIMS FOR WHAT A FEW IDIOTS DO!!!!

Lower case is more plesant to read margoosh, to read of course with your usual Capital Letters at the start of a new sentence. Nice jail analogy, i had never thought of that before. To be honest anyone with commonsense would be able to work out in roughly 1 minute that most Muslims are peace loving people. Terrorists are usually (hopefully) the minority in a nation and just because the Media only broadcasts bad news (bad news sells !) so minds become unbalanced and very biased. I know this and a lot of other people i know know this, they just don't have a voice in this world (except on the humble Metacafe) so i hope this helps. Hope you have a good day, E.
P.S. As Bust_Yo_Ass said if you want to turn the 'Caps Lock' off the key is on the left, but your key might be on the right considering you read Arabic right to left, its like me trying to speak backwards (very difficult!) lol

Im realy sorry about that ,i know for some people it might be unpleasant ! i just like to write that way! BAD HABBIT! OOPS!!! but anyway since ebony1 and Bust_yo_Ass complained im gona try stop this bad habbit !!! and by the way don't know how u came to that conclusion that i read or even know how to speak arabic???! and just for ur information ,i know some arabs who have P.C that can type in arabic and trust me the Caps Lock key is still on the left hand side!!! Good day to u too!!!

I was just having a little fun with you anyway! Sorry! Guess I just needed a break from the intense - hope I didn't offend you cause I sure didn't mean to. Have a great day!

Thanks for relaxing on the the old Caps Lock key.
I actually don't have a Caps Lock key on my Western Computer, if i want a capital letter i have to finger punch the letter on the keyboard very hard, the rest is History -Oaww !! My guess that you spoke Arabic was not a very good one then i guess. I see in your comment bad habits are HARD TO BREAK (nearly broke my finger!!), i will be working on your exclaimation marks next bringing your whole style of writing into perfect peace (full stops and comas are not stressful though, keep them up.) Good to have a laugh with you instead of an intense doctrinal debate. Take care, E.

YOU KNOW, ON THE LEFT OF YOUR KEYBOARD!!!

good

If you want more information about Islam i am can help you with your search. Let me know please.

Islam dictates to convert non-believers by force if necessary.

im not islam by any stretch of the imagination but thats not true

granted people have killed non-converts and spared converts but then so have MOST other religeons
im taoist, we don't care what religeon you are

BULLSHIT!

which part?

If you are seriously curious of religions, which is an excellent thing to be because we should all (like you said) respect each other's beliefs. to do this effectively we will first have to learn and understand other people's beliefs. I will be able to supply you fantastic sites and material if you ever want to learn about Islam; this also goes to anyone else interested in learning about Islam....TRUE ISLAM.

I leave on this note. If you want to learn about Islam, study Islam and not Muslims because not alla Muslims will follow the teachings of Islam

i am muslim and i respect your comment. thank you for having an open mind. i hope that you find what you are looking for.

Now i understaind why people think Islam is evil, its because they teach love amongst themselves and not non-muslims.

Please can I just Say that i do a hell of a lot of research and i know that the muslim 'extremists' are justified in what they do because they know about the western worlds agenda for a one world government which is to be run from the united nations in america and their one world army which is NATO. That is why the leaders of the west are running around screaming 'democracy', 'democracy'. It isnt democracy they want to enforce around the world, it is the one world government they want, that is why we have europe, Read David Ickes book 'the biggest secret'. you will find everything you need to know and then you will find out more from there about how the U.S.A has a patent for mind control technology and how they have already built the machines, how the world health organisation ordered the go ahead to create aids in a laboratory in fort dietrich, maryland usa because in the 70's they found out there would be more blacks than whites in the world so they combined the bovine leukaemia virus and the sheep VSLNA virus to create the first human retrovirus known to man, then they laced smallpox vaccines

The only threat to this world is the ignorance and the lack of knowledge that continues to grow amongst many people of America and the free world. What people fail to do is to accept the fact that Radical Islam has declared war not just on the West, but on the East. This particular enemy that we face today is not ever going to surrender or retreat for any reason, because this enemy has an agenda to destroy our way of life. They do not believe that we should enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy today. They use violence as a pretext to solve the problems that they created themselves. Their views of the world are consistent to those of the Nazis in WWII. They believe the eradication of the world is vital to assure their survival and the survival of their religion. Islam for the most part is a good religion that forbids suicide and condemns any type of violent act. But Islam is not what is was a century ago, it has been kidnapped by Muslim fanatics who’s goal is to reek havoc and place a totalitarian regime, where anarchy and chaos rules. We as intelligent human beings must not lose our resolve over oppression and fear. As for Iraq, the reasons for invading them were clear. Saddam Hussein is one of histories biggest mass murderers with the blood of millions on his hands and with countless more rapped and tortured. He even used the WMDs that the world said he did not possess on his own people and on Iran back in the Iran-Iraq war. Now that he was defeated, we should get the job done so Al-Qaeda won’t be able to influence that region, and because nobody wants to stay there for ever. Al-Qaeda and their allies have repeatedly stated that Iraq is the key battleground and battlefront in the war against America and the West. Pulling out would only encourage them more into fighting us. We are making real progress in Iraq by securing free elections and defending America from radical terrorists. But the question to the free world still stands, where do you prefer to fight terrorism? The Muslim people should be embarrassed for disgracing the teachings of Islam, and may god have mercy on your souls.

this is Hamzah Yousef, he converted in the 70's, went to UAE and worked there as an imam in a mosque in AL Ain City. then went back to his home America and Started Al Zaytoona Institute for Islamic studies. he is also one of the White House advisors regarding islamic issues. he TRIED his best to convince bush not to go to war, but was not listened to obviously. just thought i'd brief you guys :)

IF

man when u study quran(the holy book of this religion ) from ur heart then u will know that it iz the best guidence to all human being not only for muslim but for all human beings

U sound a lot like a person who wants to believe. God helps those who seek the truth. First of all, let me tell u that wat is said about islam here or on n e other media which sounds like barbarism, dat is a lie. Islam had an accident in the history after da death of Muhammad (PBUH) after which the face of islam got hurt badly. but still there are a lot of ppl who practice the tru islam one of them is iran. Dont just jump 2 conclusions. Now comes my suggestion, keep on learning about all the religions by asking the tru followers of that religion (there r very few of these ppl in n e religion) and wen u want 2 learn abt islam, ask the Iranians they will show u the tru picture of islam. n by the way I am a Pakistani. :)

True way?????????


anyway.. he's right in the point where he says that media tries to make Muslims look bad

Hello there i am an arab who lives in UK if u liked the ideas if buddah i should tell u that islam has it all and many other magnificant things, u know that this guy who is speaking was born in USA and he was a christian and at 18 he changed to islam coz he found that it is the true relegion i welcome u to read more about islam and start with www. thetruerelegion .com and please if u need any more guidance about islam just send a comment here and we can meet in UK or wales to talk about it more, plz bro have a look on islam coz u look like a good man trying to find the truth, islam came on earth to fix christians and jews not against them even bush and sharon are welcomed into islam. peace

ignorance from some I see ......DEATH TO AMERICA!!!
ALLA-ACHBARR!!!!

How about the person in Afghanistan that is going to be executed because he converted to Christianity. Did you notice that his lawyers tried to get him off by pleading insanity, and not by arguing that is not the way of Islam? They did not do it because they knew that the koran states plain and clear, that his punishment should be death.

if a muslim converts to anyother religion then there are certain conditions that are cheched before punishing him. i m not a preacher, they know it better, but as much as i know, he is asked to give a legitimate reason of conversion and that reason should be a good one, if he is just doing it for the cakes then he is considered guilty and a traitor of islam and will be posing a very bad affect on the rest of the muslims and so he will be punished. You know, converting into islam, just like n e other religion, is not something like changing ur clothes, one accepts a religion by understanding everything it offers and he is told of the consequences of leaving it without a good reason. This is also one of the best rules that make islam a perfect religion, that if it were allowed 4 n e one to change faith just like that then observers would think that its not a good, complete religion at all, even if the person leaving islam is doing so because of his ignorance and lack of knowledge about the islam. n u r a wise person u know the different types of ppl in every part of the world,

Executing someone makes Islam appear unappealing and hateful and not a "perfect religion" M I WRONG claims. It gives ammunition to critics of Islam who claim it is an unperfect religion, it was spread by the sword and kept alive by the sword. I am not saying they are right or wrong, Muslims have to realize that by supporting such actions they are shooting themselves in he foot. Such actions, to the West, show intolorence, hate, and vindictiveness, and not the peace and love the cleric above claims. Let me put it another way. If the situation were reversed and a person was executed for converting from Christianity to Islam, what would be your inpression of Christianity?

When the cleric in the video above was talking he made this quote "I am not going to punch him, because he is a Muslim". Is he not insinuating that peace and love should be towards Muslims and not towards other human beings? This brings me to another question. The peace and love that is taught in the Koran, is that directed towards other muslims or other human beings? I get the impression towards other Muslims, but would be happy to be proven wrong.

You seem 2 b some of the very rare ppl i found here. n i like ur openmindedness. The answer 2 ur question "The peace and love that is taught in the Koran, is that directed towards other muslims or other human beings?" is that u shd b happy now coz u r wrong. OK let me tell u a couple of things first: 1- Reading Quran and understanding it is not as easy as ppl might thing. Quran can be divided into 3 or more parts, major part contains history of civilizations n ppl to learn from their mistakes. Quran is not like a to do list but there are stories that ppl read n extract morals from. Islam loves all LIVING things not just muslims but the places in Quran where muslim is explicitly mentioned is intended for 2nd person muslims who r listening to Muhammad (PBUH) who had, in the mist ot such diorder, left their previous religion and inherited an enmity of all islam haters. they deserved that special reminders from time to time to ensure that they were on right path coz all the tortures they endured cud stumble even the strongest ones of today. I told u b4, to learn islam learn it from the best Muhammad (PBUH). He lived among nonbelievers and was called by the nick name as 'Sadiq' meaning the truthteller. n His enimies wud leave their percious things to him for look after 4 they new he is the most honest person. The Miracle he was bestowed by is Quran its a treasure of knowledge. i m learning it n as much as i learn it i see the world differently. like an examination room where every step we take is a test 4 us. wen v r below 15 v r in learning age n v r not aware of wat life is, but after that our test begins until our life ends On this earth. n after that v stay in our graves with our bodies until the judgement day wen v'll all rise 4m our graves to listen to our results n get the final verdict. continue...

I ve learnt from Islam dat our life shd b 4 others n not ourselves, ve shd care 4 ppl around us. v shd take care of our parents like they cared 4 us wn v wr helpless little child. respect elders and their experience n learn from them, tell other ppl to do good as often as poss, n stop them from doing wrong things without harming them with either a weapon or ur tongue. Dont look at girls who r not from ur family 4 this brings sexual thoughts in our mind b4 marriage, Islam teaches us 2 practice patience in many ways (wich is the key 2 success) like in Ramadan we Fast in wich v dont just stop eating but during that fast even hurting someone by calling them names can cancel our fast so v have to control ourselves. Guys n girls have 2 control their sexual desires until their marriages, v 've to control ourselves from eating n drinking things v r not supposed to coz GOD said so. I CAN GO ON LIKE THIS FOR A LONG TIME BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS WAT I LEARNT FROM ISLAM NOT WAT PPL HERE R SAYING, SO YOU VE 2 ASK UR SELF A QUESTION :) WHY THEN THER IS SO MUCH FALSE KNOWLEDGE ABT ISLAM ALL AROUND, AND THIS SHD TEMPT U 2 LEARN MORE ABT ISLAM BY SEARCHING URSELF DONT RELY ON N E 1 ELSE, N THE BEST RESOURCE I CAN SUGGEST U IS THIS LINK [http://www. irf.net/irf/ videogallery /index.htm] plz go thru da vidz on this site n u'll find the true islam. THe vid u just watched above is from someguy who is not so good at explaining islam dats y ppl cat words coming 4m his mouth not wat hes saying. I wud again ask u 2 keep searching abt religions like this, 4 u might miss a very imortan part of ur life if u dont.

That should be Muslims (not muskims) Sorry if I offened anyone with my typing mistake.

IF the real Islam is love, TOLERATION

IF the real Islam is about love, TOLERATION, and mercy, then please tell me why there are SO MANY Islams here PERSONALLY insulting those that are debating the Islam faith? I see no toleration there! We cannot even read most of Mathiew's comments, because they have been removed. Is that fear that we will read something you don't want us to know about? Please explain.

Good comment. I agree with you and respect your idea.

The only thing I wanted to make clear is that Allah is not a person. He is not an object, He is an entity. He is omnipotent. You can not limit His Inifiniteness by making Him a person.

This reply was Just to inform you about my religion thats all.
Overall... bery nice comment. Kudos

THAT MAKES LOTS OF SENSE TO ME!!!

in this regard

I completely agree too.....

This makes sense! The insults, name calling, etc. does not fit in with what you're saying Islam is! You may want to have a talk with student of knowledge, because if he is a Muslim, well he is really hurting your cause on here with his rage and foul mouth!

It's refreshing to see a Muslim in here that that isn't screaming profanity, but it still doesn't excuse your religion. I'm not trying to attack Muslims; Christ taught us to love all mankind, despite themselves. I'm attacking Islam's perverted revision of the Old and New Testament because of the billions of souls it is turning away from Yahweh, who is the one true God.

I will pray for you that one day you will see the truth and that you'll discover that the reason Islam produces terrorists, is because that's what Mohammed tells them to do.

In your case, Allah considers you a hypocrite for not doing Jihad against me and others as is expected. I thank you for that, because it's saving lives.

Chist said, " Matt 7:13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

That's why there are over 1 BillionMuslims in the world and why it's growing faster than any other religion. Jesus knew this 2,000 years ago. I pray you'll eventually find the narrow gate.

..from my 'religion' which requires excusing or justification, and i will try my best to clear it up for everyone (but please one thng at a time)

first off, im not the guy you responded to and i respect your beliefs
but as you may or may not know (it's not a subject spoke of often) that mohammad killed most of the jews in medina before leaving to conquer mecca.
justify.

when mohammad took mecca he burnt all of the pegan idols

and before he left medina he killed most of the jews
(although in fairness they did try to kill him too)

It was the Jews who were amazed when Muhammad was born as an arab. They were expecting another Prophet in their tribe as they thought that they were the chosen ones. But once Muhammad was born in the arab tribe... they couldnt take the shame. Even though they knew that Muhammad was the Prophet who was promised by God to come later... they just couldnt accept it that he was one of them.

That is how all this started.
So get your information right and then talk.
take care

if he is a muslim then forgive him. but we can punch him back creating harm to an equal extent.
But if he or she is a non-muslim ; then why should we forgive him/her. That person is a threat to Islam. In that case an eye for an eye. But if you forgive a non-muslim as well like our Prophet did; then the reward is much greater (note: that person shouldnt be a threat to Islam).

murdered most of the jews in medina before he left...
i've said this alot but no one seems to be opening there eyes
also musi's claim he didn't hurt anyone when he conquered but it is written in the qur'an that god wouldn't let anyone spill blood in mecca but let mohammad for this once, never before, never again

These are some of the same questions I have. The only place I have ever heard that the original Holy Bible was destroyed and a "false book" put in it's place is from what one man only has said, being Mohammed. There should be some concrete proof as to this if it were true, other than one man's word that it is so. That is where I wonder about the cult thing, because all these people are following ONE human's teachings. I believe that is why the Holy Bible was written by many men of God, yet none of these mens teachings contradict the others. They are all consistent with the others, and it gives more of a check and balance. They may speak in different styles or personalities, but they are all on the same page. With Islam, you either believe this ONE man, Mohammed or you don't. There is no check and balance, no other human to whom he was accountable to check against - at least that I know of.

this discussion is not about religion but its about human rights, and islam is against human rights

the quran makes it very clear that all non muslims should be killed and mutilated untill islam dominates the world.

islam is a threat to you and me and Humanity

what makes you a true muslim. if following the quran and your prophet isn't islam than what is. what "iranians" do is just what your prophet did, just read the hadiths and find out why.

what part of killing unbelievers and mutilating them until their is on disbelief don't you understand

who try to own the world

Someone who can think and understand what the hadiths say.

well you are dumb ass

If he forgot the part and you know about it. Please do tell us where Allah (The Most Exalted) says that. And please give us the entire four or 5 verses in context to the verse you will post . Because I am sick of you guys posting extracts from here and there and claiming it to be the whole meaning. Capice'

Funny how hypocrasy works.

the killing in the bible was done 3000 years ago and was to a specific people, if you wanna know why ill be happy to tell you.

But the new testment doesn't say to kill anyone so their is nothing wrong. But the quran makes it plain and clear that "infidel" like me and you should be killed.

Islam is a threat to humanity, and it promotes terrorism

said its ok to kill ..

Do NOT talk about something you don't know a thing about ..

You just know the name .. You saw the attacks then .. you judged immidiatly..

Those who did the attacks (( say they're muslims)) , Muslims are not allowed to kill inisont lives..

The penalty for that is death

and don't sat that allah is sick..

YOU THE ONLY SICK PERSON

sorry but you insulted my GOD

DO you understand how horrible it feels

go and learn something dumbass

If you are Muslim or Christian or whatever religion, but you and your insulting comments are a disgrace to any religion and not of God/Allah.

A tiny correction: Anyone who endangers the existance of the islam should be stopped...

not killed..
Both de quran and the bible learn people not to kill. And both learn you should love people.

you clearly haven't read the quran and you are just helping the devil

The guy that hits is a muslim, or doesn`t hit... He goes from 1th person to 3th

Even I didnt get it....
you da man

u make me blush :P

genius

he atalks about peace with his 'brothers' and 'sisters' what about others? What about Jews and Christians, all part of the three tribes - no peace towards them?

He sounds about as loving and forgiving as many of the Evangelical nuts from the 'texas taliban'.

I wish all religion would just go away

"Im not going to punch him" He doenst punch him becouse the person that wanted to punch is a muslim himself and thats forbidden.

this guy is clever cos he is making the distinction between muslims and islam
islam is perfect, no one can criticise it if they know it.
but muslims are not, now people are able to criticise muslims because we do not have the same ettiquettes as the pious believers before us

OK ILAMIC PROTESTS HAVE KILLED 20 PEOPLE OUT OF WHICH MOST WERE DONE BY AMERICAN TRAINED AFGHANI FORCES BUT HOW ABOUT 100,00 KILLED IN IRAQ BY AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION SO U FOLLOW PEACE .I SEE HOW IT WORKS.

Now we just need to get rid of the remaining Muslims.

Now we just need to get rid of the remaining millions of muslims.

Who is "we"? America?

I don't have time to write a whole page for you so just shut up and think before you post pointless crap!

He is a former christian who converted to islam in 1977.

i am a very tolerant, open minded, bible-reading christian who cannot see the logic in any one of those points

you, on the other hand, are a stereotypical, plagurising, presumptious C**t
OR a really bad christian

But i couldn't help but realize that you just copy and pasted from evilbible.com

That site takes everything out of context and take figurative language and poetry as if they are fact.

for example the creation in genesis is never ment to be considered fact but it is an explanation of why the universe was created. It would make no sense if God told his prophet about science, calculus...etc. There wasn't even a word for science 4 thousand years ago.

I can try toexplain everything else if you email me at matestepho@ hotmail.com

P.S. next time use your own ideas instead of copying the deceptive lies of some atheist

here is the site...
check it out ... all of you who still doubt Islam.
Learn something from this speaker.
I am not asking you to embrace Islam... I am just asking you to look from a objective view. That is all he is asking as well.

http://video. google.com/ videoplay? docid= 85536017771183 37900

oh metacafe ... keeps cutting my messages... I hate it

http://video. google.com /videoplay? docid= 85536017771183 37900

http://video. google.com /videoplay? docid= 85536017771183 37900

well here is a way... after 37900 type this:

after 37900 type the comment title of this comment. I really hope metacafe shows it... I dont know whats wrong with it.

I dont know why metacafe wont show that last bit of the address. I really dont know. Sorry... guys I tried everything.
maybe it is a bug. Or a plot against me. I think it is a conspiracy.. hehe...

but I know how you feel! Frustrating - and they're getting worse!

at least because of islam u live in a world that has such freedom to act like an ass, but its not like they let u learn that in america

Love Metallica!

and you call the muslims terrorists. Look at the hatred you have in you for a people who just believe in a religion..
You have not only ahsamed yourself but you are a disgrace to a beautiful religion like christianity.

See, tracer, we have our thorns in the flesh, too! Wise comment and thanks for not thinking we're all like that! BYA

that is exactly what osama says, just bomb the S**t out of america, sure some good ones will go, but at least the world will have peace!

funded by governments !

But why ? you may ask... Why would anyone bother to do all this ? Easy, just because no matter how democratic, open minded, peace loving, good willed they may seem deep in them they can’t stand the existance of that religion. Maybe they have been offended by believers of that religion ? Or even worse, they have been attacked and murdered ? But is it that religion which killed them ? Or could it be fundamentalists ? Those who interpret that religion upon their uncivilized and evil wills ? Could they be using this to justify their brutality ? Again we come to the point where truth is altered by mankind. So what if these people are actually satanists in disguise ? Is it possible that we may be using the existance of these people to create a scapegoat ? So that we can focus on that religion and declare vendetta upon it. Also convincing our fellow believers that the enemy is the religion itself. Even half of these acts can put hatred into them and thus make our job easy...

If this little mind exercise didn’t help then lets point out some other facts. Many Arab countries are poor and struggling. People find it comforting to call them uncivilized. As the only civilization they have tolerance to is theirs. But does Muslim mean Arab ? Definately not. Just beacuse the language of Quran is arabic doesn’t make the religion itself Arab. There are many non Arab countries that are Muslim and also there are many Muslims that have been living all around the world for centuries. So “Eat sand and die you Muslim!” speech is a product of an uncivilized, misinformed mind. And besides sand is a clean and healthy form of earth, something which people lay upon to sunbath on beaches. Although these speeches and beliefs don’t make sense and seem of no importance to talk about, when bound together and organized they all serve the main lies and breed hatred.

Another fact is about Arabic language. It is a rich and complex language in which words often have several meanings. Think about “saw” in English, it would mean a tool or the past tense of “see” depending on the sentence. Arabic has countless words and expressions like this, often with more than two (e.g. five!) meanings. Sometimes these meanings are slightly similar but totally change meaning of sentences. So when Quran is translated into any other language meanings can dramatically change. Especially when done by unqualified translators the outcome can even be just the opposite of what was really meant (even if the interpreters mean no harm like Salman Rushdie had meant). I know this sounds like a fairy tale and is difficult to comprehend but maybe Arabs aren’t that uncivilized after all are they ? For those who protest, remember that language is the main key to a civilization.

If you have cared to read this far and still have suspicions, here’s a final touch to this entry. Believe it or not, any good hearted Muslim who is not infested with hatred has felt the pain that day. 9/11 will never be forgotten and is a horrible shame for mankind. If you feel comfortable thinking that the entire Muslims enjoyed watching those unbearable, terrifying scenes then be it your way. If that makes you feel united, if you are that much in need of a scapegoat then there’s nothing that can be said or done except hoping god all mighty (the one and only) blesses us all humans and protects us from all evil doers.

muslims believe in the mose, jesus, prophets that mohamed talked about. They know nothing about what those prophets said. Mohamed took those names and made them his own. If you see a false verse then proof its false instead of writing so much useless information

Mathiew, it's surprising that you've continued reading after the first paragraph. Maybe you didn't get my message there "For others who have hatred in them towards any religion and/or atheism, please do not read any further. Honestly, not worth to bother reading... ". I've read your posts and it's clear that for some reason you seem extremely devoted into fighting against Islam. You've proven this with all the efforts you've put into it. Your claims have pure hatred in them supported by the very same lies that I've been writing about.
You talk about proof... Well, as I've clearly stated in the mind exercise there, those lies are supported globally by people, not only by individuals (such as yourself) but by large organizations, media etc. At this point I must say I appreciate your devotion to your oath to fight Islam. But honestly you can fool many but not those like me who always seek the truth rather then sticking to dogmatic information and comments, no sir. Now vote this entry as offensive and feel comfortable although it this time. Because unlike my "Crystal Clear" entries, I admit this one is in a way offensive. Good luck in fulfilling your oath. I sincerely hope it brings order, unity and goodness to the world as you've been wishing.

Is it because there none

if you go to google and type islamic miracles you find many lies and propaganda about totally absurd "miracles" about the quran.

first of all there is no miracle in the quran or and that mohamed did. And the alleged "miracle" are supposed to be scientific facts which never healed anyone. the alleged miracles did not help any one or save anyone from any disease etc..

and please find one miracle in the quran and email at matestepho @hotmail.com

*****write your own commentary because cut and paste websites don't prove anything if you don't know what they mean

Was probably the DUMBEST thing I have ever read. Really groping, aren't you? Must be more of that love and tolerance you all keep talking about but not practicing!

That probably the dumbest thing you ever read after that harry potter your younger sister bought for you. hehe.

I dont know what you are trying to say but you havent defended the bible in any frikkin way. So try harder.

What is there to defend? You haven't said anything intelligent enough that requires defending. I already know the Bible is the Word of God. Jesus Christ living in my heart bears witness to that in my heart and my mind. It 's a wonderful thing! You should try it. And if what you get from the Holy Bible is porn, then YOUR mind truly is warped. I will pray for you that God will open your mind and heart to the real truth!

The comments by that guy were just attacks with no basis.

You, on the other had defend the quran and mohamed.

The bible defends itself with prophecy and what it says

You gotta be kidding me man. Did you even read Ezekiel 23. I really felt disgusted after reading such pornographic things. Is your God so open about sex and sexuality. And what was the point of telling us this story anyways.

Quoting the exact verse is a fool-proof base for a point to be made. Just admit it that (unlike me) you can not even proof that the words of your God are actually His words. They are corrupted. If they are not then tell me why does your God use such obscene language??

Answer me.

your a muslim, insulting the christian/jewish god... the same one that you worship with a different name. clever.

also you go on to ask for proof that the bible actually has gods words.
well for one thing the bible has a mulitude of writers who practically never contradict each other, it's not proof but it's something.
with islam, you got one guy. no one else can hear or see god but this one guy.
that sounds likely. prove he told the truth!

now do you know what a cult is?
islam might not be a cult, but you have an overlord, who never suffered for his religeon (see mark:4 onward or just google jesus) nor preformed any miracles for proof.
odds that it is a cult are pretty high

you have replied after a very long time. These convesations took place long time back. I apologize if I said something insulting before. I was stupid and full of rage.
I would love to talk to you in a good and intellectual manner. Email me and we will take it from there.

My email address is rash_mcnasir @ hotmail.com

Take care and looking forward to talk to you

It's not like God used the type of gutter talk we hear on Metacafe to describe this, and yes, reading it is a bit unpleasant, but what I get from it is a warning to women and idolators, and I believe it went into such a description so as to realize the depth of these 2 women's depravity. It also goes on in that same chapter to describe God's punishment for this type of behavior and to warn others. If God had simply said they were prostitutes, and no more, it really wouldn't have much of an impact. I gotta admit, a lot of women NEED to read this, clear to the end of the chapter to see exactly how God views sexual promiscuity and/or prostitution. It is definitely not vague what He thinks of it!

first of all your saying that since the bible is wrong the quran has to be right, and that is a logical fallacy.

--- -- - - -
Unlike you, I will not defend the bible, but it will defend itself.

If you read carefully without bias you would have read the beginning wich he refered the two sisters to Samaria and Jerusalem. ***Remember, these are the nations that God chose. God is showing that their idolarty is like prostatution and lewdness.

God is using digusting imagary to represent something disgusting. He is also showing how angry he is with the two nations whom he chose.

If you read carefully, you would have read the part where he says that the two nations were BURNING THEIR CHILDREN to their false gods.

--- - -- - - - -- - -
A question for you: Would you feel disgusted if their was a city that was burning their children to a statue of a bull?

Firstly.. My God, even if he wants to tell about some disgusting story, He such words that you can easily understand it and it also doesnt feel disgusting. Like there is a verse in which Allah says "Do not approach your women from their backs". This was explained by the Prophet as the prohibition of Anal sex. See.. good manner.

By the way, the name of the sister is Aholah and Aholibah (something like that). And I did not find anything like cities or burning down or the 2 other names that you mentioned (samaria and jerusalem).
So it will be greatly appreciated if you just post the number of the verses that you are referring to. Not the whole verse. Just the numbers

thanx

(part of verse) "Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah". It's a parable.

Didnt you hear what the guy said. Dont reply. Stay calm. When judgement day comes blah blah blah.... Are you sure you will end up in heaven??
Who are YOU to judge people?
As if you will be laughing on judgement day. By the way you use swear words... I am assuming that you will be really really frustrated and looking for help.
Be careful on what you say.

why do u wait till judgement day to see if your saved, just read what allah is saying and you'll know he is a fraud. mohamed even said that 70000 of his followeres will enter paradise, that leaves a lot of people out. If you read the gospels without biasis and just read Jesus's words you will know him and also where you will end up. I know I will see Jesus in heaven, he saves people from Judgement

Jesus saves people from judgement. You are saying this as if it is a bad thing i.e. judgement. If it is a bad thing then why does your Lord do it in the first place.

By the way, christians say that Jesus died for their sins. Why did he do that?? What did you ever do for Jesus that he died for you.??

You clearly have no idea who Jesus is.

First of all what part of people being sentenced to Hell to you find appealling. Judgement day is horrible because people will go to hell. But it is nessaccery because evil cannot be with God. Hell is just separation from God, not a place where God tortures you( which you find in the quran)

Jesus died for our sins because without his atonement we will all go to hell. Since, every human is a sinner we all fall short of heaven.

We did nothing to deserve Jesus's sacrifice. But it is rather out of an undying, and unconditional love that Jesus died for us.

for example:
God has a rule that "no murders are allowed to enter heaven". And a man one day commits murder. But the man knowing that what he did was wrong goes through his entire life with rightousnous and does many good deeds.
The man then dies and God has a problem because the man was a very good man and God wants him to be allowed in Heaven. But at the same time God has a rule that "no murders are allowed in heaven" and doesn't want to abandon his rule which would make it meaningless. So God has to take his punishment on someone, the punishment for murder is death. But since every human is a sinner, no one can be sacrificed for anyone else. So, God,being the only thing good and pure, sacrifices a part of himself ( Jesus) to atone for the man's sins.

If you want a more detailed explanation just email me at matestepho @hotmail.com or just read the gospels without bias and it will make a lot of sense.

****Remember this, sin is insulting to God, and no good deed can ever cover sin

So on the Judgement Day all the people will go to Hell after their Judgement and that is why the whole process of Judgement is scary and bad. Ok...
And Hell is not a place where God tortures. It is probably like those jails here on earth where you will face life imprisonment and become homosexuals.. Ok...

ust to save the people from Hell. God went through the trouble of begetting a son through a virgin. And then that son was killed in one of the most disgusting and insulting ways possible. All that for christians. Ok...

For us, God says that He is the Most Merciful. Even if we sin, or christians sin or jews sin... just because of the good deeds that they did; Allah will bestow upon them His Infinite Mercy if He Wills and will grant them Heaven. No body had to die a gruesome and insulting death for us.
anyways.. ponder upon your own words for sometime and then reply if you want to

[by the way.. dont tell me that Christ wasnt the begotten son of God.. I spoke to a reveran (hope the spelling is right) and he told me that Christ was the begotten son of God. If you want I will send you his email and deal with him. cool?]

Jesus had to die because we all fall short of God, no "good deed" can ever take the fact that we are all sinners and disobey God continuously.

**And you spoke to a reveran.... how would you know if he is right or wrong about the bible, read for yourself.
****When the bible says Jesus is "God's son", it is not literally saying that he is His son, but is to symbolize his divinity. (just like his virgin birth)
******the bible also says that the Isrealites were God's children, does that mean that they "literally" are.
******just like that "pornograph" verse you "showed" me, does it literally mean that the to nations are "sisters"

*********God is infinite and all-powerful, so what "good deed" can you possibly do to every please God


***I just got the reply to the "science" verses but you said that i didn't answer your email messages. I NEVER EVEN GOT THEM, NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE.They weren't even in my junk mail, so i guess you type my email wrong: matestepho@hot mail.com

we will find the truth and facts on a website full of random videos posted by random people and viewed by random people. How very credible.. :P

By the way, when this video speaks good about Islam... you dont believe it. And some other video on the same website speaks bad about Islam.. everything is accepted without a question and doubt and argument and debate.

Shame on you.

If islam is a religion of peace why did your prophet
say this in bukari: v.1 book 1 number 6 :

'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'

there are many other unacceptedable verses in both the quran and hadiths

This man is a moderate muslim because he avoids or ignores the verses that say to kill all unbelievers,

Yes there are verses that are good in the quran which many muslims quote but there are also many verses that the terrorists quote. And both are justified in the Quran.

****I dare one muslim to make an public announcement denouncing the terrorists and the muslim governments that kill apostates as kufr

Why dear lord do you stick to posting extracts from here and there. Explain the whole situation going on and then tell us why he said what he said.
Tell us the whole story of what was happening and who were the jews he was referring to. Probably you did not bother to look at the whole thing yourself.
Seriously guys... When will you guys be brave and come out frank and open. Always trying to decieve people.
I have in my hand here a Bible (which I use to get verses from) which says on the cover: "Good News for Mankind" .... and thats all. You can not even come out in the open and say that this is the Bible so dont buy it if you dont intend to. Instead you guys sell it in different names and versions. Pathetic!!

look man, first of all, u funny people have GOT to stop enticing me with ur comments, i got better things to do, and here u lot are painting a giant bulls-eye on ur asses...

look, where it says just kill all the jews etc etc
WAS
NOT
SAID
BY
THE
PROPHET

if u were to read that hadith, u would find it was a chap called Heraclius, a christian foreteller /astrologer from what is now jerusalem, who looked at the stars and foretold that the leader of "those who practiced circumcision" became the conqueror, and his advisors said that the Jews do that, to which HE replied:

JUST GIVE ORDERS TO KILL ALL THE JEWS IN THE COUNTRY THEN, DUDE,

SO U SEE... ah what's the point, anyone who is actually serious about these things will know by now if u read this mathiew guys' hilarious posts and the replies to them

peace
forgive me if i made any mistakes, they are from me

this is a never ending saga. Christians say they are right and do not accept Muslims or Muhammed as a prophet. Jewish people reject the fast that jesus was in fact any thing but a man. and it goes on. New testament old testament gospels bible Quran torah(old testament) protestant Catholics Shiite Sunni orthodox. Im right your wrong u are a terrorist i am not. you kill I don't. please live and let live I only say the wrong ones are the evil people who kill for no reason or for stupid reasons. (including for different religions).
Any one can read a book from the other party and come up with a billion question that in his own point of view is ludicrous.
i say u want to kill me because i don't believe in what you believe then maybe i should defend my self or if you want to kill me just because a group of nincompoops who attach them selves to what i believe killed some of your group then i will defend my self.
chase the evil people and do what ever you want to them just let me be LET ME BE.
Live and Let live people

this is not about religion its about human rights and islam is against human rights. the quran makes it very clear that every unbeliever is to be killed and terrorists are just following what they are taught. so as long as islam exists terrorism exists

human rights. every person has the right to believe what he/she wants to believe and worship what they want to worship isn't that right? dude try to relax saying that islam is the source of terror is not true you know that i know that and a lot of people know that. if you say that the quran teaches terror then the same can be said to any religion otherwise how would you explain the holocaust? or the crucifixion of Jesus? or even the KKK are they not the extremist of christianity?
try to rectify your self first then concern your self with others.
I just want you to remember this:
"let he who is with out sin throw the first rock" and even Jesus did not throw.
if you claim you are sinless..... then i rest my case.

I am not condeming any person, but i am condeming evil(ie. Islam)

I am trying to inform all muslims about what the quran says and who mohamed was. If you read the quran and hadiths you will know what I say is correct.

Jesus also took out whips and whipped, and turned over the tables when he saw that the place of worship was turned into a "den of thieves".
It is because of Jesus that I am speaking out against Islam which has made a mockery of God, and his people. Jesus warned us about false prophets that would decieve people in not believing in Jesus.

I am not sinless but Jesus cleanses me of my sins and I am trying to bring the goods news to all people and muslims too.

I also never insulted Islam or mohamed either. If you want to see if what I say is correct about Mohamed then email me at matestepho @hotmail.com

dude on the contrary it is you who does not know what he is talking about. i do my own research and I can read. Ive read the hadith and the quran. i have 7 copies of it just to check if they are all the same.
dude i said "let he who is with out sin throw the first rock" we all have sins but we repent we ask forgiveness if what you say is true then there is no point to go to church and no point of the new testament or even the confession or all of the hail marries. The lord teaches us to rectify our selves not bother our selves with others. also you claim you are not condemning anyone ? to me it seems you are when you call Islam evil since alot of people follow this religion.
on a different note Jesus cleansed you? so what do you mean? that now you are with out sins? dude If what you say is true then why did he give us teachings? tell us what to do or what not to do? just an FYI? i don't think so.
Muslims have hardcore ignorants like the terrorists Christians have the KKK. both claim that they are following the word of god. both are killing people who are the same as them and who are not. but if in my opinion the KKK is even worse cause they kill according to the color of the skin... come to think of it they are the same.
Take it from an older person and if i may say a more experienced guy if you want to guide some one do not accuse his or her religion. hear them out show them that what you follow is better and makes more sense prepare your self for any question and have the ability to answer it with common sense. prove beyond any reasonable doubt that what you follow if the right way. once you do that it is left to the person to chose not you not me not anyone.
One last thing are you a protestant?
I will continue this with you via your email.
Best wishes

please take ur butt somewhere else to comment this is a place for ones who want to learn not for a's like u

Mathiew is someone who asked a legitimate question and would like a legitimate answer! I for one, would like to hear the legitimate answer. We already know how to cuss, sam ab!

this is from a response to mathiews question, i thought u'd might want to read it if ur serious about learning:

"look man, first of all, u funny people have GOT to stop enticing me with ur comments, i got better things to do, and here u lot are painting a giant bulls-eye on ur asses...

look, where it says just kill all the jews etc etc
WAS
NOT
SAID
BY
THE
PROPHET

if u were to read that hadith, u would find it was a chap called Heraclius, a christian foreteller /astrologer from what is now jerusalem, who looked at the stars and foretold that the leader of "those who practiced circumcision" became the conqueror, and his advisors said that the Jews do that, to which HE replied:

JUST GIVE ORDERS TO KILL ALL THE JEWS IN THE COUNTRY THEN, DUDE,

SO U SEE... ah what's the point, anyone who is actually serious about these things will know by now if u read this mathiew guys' hilarious posts and the replies to them

peace
forgive me if i made any mistakes, they are from me"

execpt thjat you still believe Osama did the WTC attack is very wrong becouse he didn't and the American Government lied about it to attack the middle east....
And to gain more power in his own country, becouse after that Bush could do ans say anything he wanted.

what part of 15 men yelling allahakbar (or something like that ---meaning god is the greatest) hijaking a plane say. Is that a lie by the governement, no.

people dont represent faiths and believes. The ideology of a faith represents it. So stop telling us what the terrorists do... cuz we dont care what they do. They are not representing Islam. If you assume that they are then go ahead and live in your dream world.

i know it not usama .. but we should take it one step at a time ... i mean since they are convinced that its usama ... and since they are convinced that its usama who did .. thats why muslims are frouned upon ... however, once we get them to treat each person accourding to what he is not accourding to his relegion ... then we can start convincing them that usama didn't do it ... but u can't convince them now cuz they won;t lsn to muslims in the first place ... i hope u got my point ...
no one can climb up the ladder without going through every step!!!!!!

peace to all

thats right

islam is a religion that teaches peace only to those submit and give up their rights to everything mohamed said.

not all religion is good, remember satanism is a religion and if you read the quran and hadiths you would know that islam is not much different

the quran clearly says that all unbelievers are to be killed and mutilated untill there is disbelief.

islam is a threat to humanity

THAT SAYS IT ALL,!!! THEY STEAL THE NAME AND DO WHAT THEY WANT!!!

JESUS HAD NO FATHER! AND ADAM HAD NO FATHER OR MOTHER!! SO DOES THAT MAKE HIM A BIGGER GOD???!!

islam is fastest growing religion because the islamic states are very poor and are going through a population "boom". muslims families live in rural areas and tend to have many children. Also in islamic states, muslims who convert are killed. unbelievers are not allowed to make any new churches or temples of worship.

the increase is a result of muslims procreating not of the number of converts

Intelligent ones gather enough info b4 they can say n e thing abt anything. a Muslim is not a muslim if he doesnt believe in Jesus ( Peace Be Upon Him), Moses (PBUH), Noha (PBUH) and a total of 124000 Prophets (inclusive), along with Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Muhammad (PBUH) teaches everything Jesus (PBUH) taught plus a lot more minus the fact that God can have children. He is just taking the teachings of Jesus (PBUH) to the next and last level.

maybe you have to reasses your knowledge, Jesus is part of the holy trinity and not literally God's son.

Plus, If Muhammed teaches everything Jesus taught this is one place where he taught less. Jesus taught me to love muslims, hindus, neo nazis... everyone equally! not just my own 'brothers and sisters'

clarify this for me: in Islam should the non-muslims be treated equally as muslims? What does Muhammed say about this?

even 1 muslim there. They were all non muslims, they threw stones at him, Gabriel asked Prophet, do u want me to wash them off the face of earth, Prophet said NO for they dont know wat dey r doing. There was a nonmuslim old women who used to throw garbage on Prophet as He passed by her house regularly, Prophet PBUH never said anything 2 her but one day she didnt come, Prophet aske her neighbour abt her, they said she is ill, so Prophet went to see her and wish her a get well soon. its 2 of uncountable truths and THIS IS ISLAM. Wat Prophet did is ISLAM not wat ppl today r doing. if u wanna know islam learn abt Muhammad PBUH's life. i ve posted a link with MIRACLE! as title, try dat link. I hope u'll learn alot just like i did.

...and there were caravans Mohammed attacked, and cities he attacked, and one of his writers (the name escapes me atm) who left Islam whom Mohammed had killed, ...what was the name of that Jewish village he had wiped out? Gee, what a nice guy

the quran says that all the prophets were muslims so your statement of no muslims around that time is wrong. your prophet did no miracle and even said that he was just a man who could do nothing. he was a mass murder, pedophile, rapist and thieve, and he also had more wives then he allows for muslims

Yo... that story by MI Wrong was absolutely right. Yeah good example bro. Doesnt matter if they belive it or not.
Because its their habit to accept all that is said wrong about Islam and reject all the correct things spoken about Islam. For once guys... try to think objectively. Oh I forgot... you guys dont think at all. hehe

in islam non muslims are protected, and it is a fact that the non muslims from around the world wanted to be protected by the islamic law, as they are given their own rights, and even allowed to follow their own family laws as long as they don't harm anyone or do something against islam, like sacricing virgins etc etc.

if u genuinely want to know what mohmmad peace be upon him said then lemme know, there are not many differences between him and Jesus peace be upon him, in fact, Jesus peace be upon him is said to be the greatest companion of the prophet muhammad peace be upon him, i'll explain if u want

in islamic states unbelievers aren't even allowed to make new buildings of worship and many people leave the islamic states because they are just horrible dictatorships

Jesus is not litterely God's son, it is just a sign of divinity. Just like when you say God can speak and hear, does that mean he has a mouth and ears?

Jesus is God's word, that became flesh, to teach us how to live in person. Read the gospels and see the contrast between the quran. If you read the gospels without bias, just ask yourself what is Jesus saying? you will realise who he is if you do.
