Clone19; Islam, a religion of peace?
and how are we supposed to do this? take Saudi for example: 30 some princes ruling the country with an iron fist, half of the country living in poverty, all the wealth generated from Mecca and Medinah and all the oil money going straight to their pockets, not to mention the backing of the US... -

"mainstream muslims" will have nothing to do with this thread, it makes too much sense. They're much more into waiting for people to descend bodily out of the sky, open bigotry, and wiping out the 'kaffirun'. -

The Qu'ran
yea i understood you the first time. this is common knowledge, but i don't see how it has anything to do with the fact that a middle man was neccessary to confirm accuracy. yet again i have to repeat myself. Did you even bother to read what i said? i should just keep a copy of one post, and... -

Re: Caste Of Apologetics Every western nation in the world has admitted that women and men are not equal physically. That's what the quran is talking about. Men are supposed to defend women, and thus the women has a duty to obey her husband. The beating can only happen if your wife does... -

The Qu'ran
If by Hermeneutics you mean studying the time of a revelation and the events happening at the time to fully understand the meaning of a verse, it plays a HUGE role in understanding Islam. I am not aware of any 'stricture' to not analyse the Quran. There is no authoritarian nature. You are free... -

difference noted. Like I said before, he was revealing an ENTIRE BOOK, not just a few revelations. It was neccessary to have a middle man for the sake of clarity. Please don't make me repeat myself. That's doubtful. My view of what happened was that Muhammad, being a human, put his own spin... -

Muslims believe that the Quran is the word of God himself, not the words of 'divinely inspired men'. God himself wrote it. In this case it was neccessary that a true entity be there during it's revelation, because you can't have a 'conversation' with God, it just doesnt work that way. He can... -

im not sure 'cobbled' is the right term here. The amount of work that went into compiling these documents was enormous. Actually i wouldn't really disagree with you here. Tashah's comment that there are 2 islams, "the peaceful Islam" and "the brutal Islam" is a huge oversimplification, but... -

my words exactly. ANYTHING can be taken out of context. Al Qaeda is doing just that. Terrorists are doing just that! I'm not trying to defame anyone, my fellow theists least of all, im just trying to defend my religion from what seems to be a sea of Hijackers. It is SO EASY to destroy the... -

punishment for leaving your faith inthe Bible: Deuteronomy 13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou... -

yet again i have to say that a person's personal views should not be made out as the views of an entire religion. everyone interprets religion differently. geez. this is the biggest waste of time i've participated in since I last saw Braveheart. -

okay. one of the main premises under which we entered Iraq was false. It doesnt make a difference, he still lied. the middle east has never been a democracy. members of my family in Pakistan laugh at the kind of 'revolutionary' ideas i give them. people there have no intention of risking the... -

Good and bad are relative terms. The neighbors duty to defend you while the cannibal tries to eat you depends on the laws of the land on which this event is taking place. Some extreme Muslims find great wrong in men and women showing public displays of affection, but in America, he cannot force... -

Marijuana use in Medicine increasing
why wouldnt pharmaceutical companies want to legalize pot? It's just another product they could add to sugar and sell for 100 bucks a pop. the government could tax it, and they wouldn't have to use all this money building more prisons to hold people on pot charges. they could make alot more...
