Lol how do we know your not making allthis up inJesus.
now u start thinking. now u realise what is actually happening. now u understood what is ‘insulting degrading attitude’You come onto a Christian board, call our most sacred belief system “foolish incestuous Trinity idea”, and you’re comparing ME to Jerry Falwell?
Oh man, I can’t be the only one seeing the irony in this. This thread was going well, until you stepped foot in here, perhaps it would return to civility if you were to leave it? And take your insulting degrading attitude with you…
lying is a sin.Lol how do we know your not making allthis up inJesus.
What about all those christians who pray quietly without making a show of themselves, as Jesus told us to do?My own opinion is that a Catholic converting to Islam can rationalize, right off the bat, that they’re worshipping the same God in Islam, as in Catholicism. Of course, I disagree with that.
One thing that may attract people to Islam is the devotion of its adherents. I think “Muslim” above was saying that many Muslims are half-hearted, although it doesn’t look like that to us in the West. What we see in the daily devotion.
I was in Wash DC once and went by the Saudi embassy at one of the prayer times, and there were Muslims worshipping out on the street. That devotion is impressive.

Surprise of all suprises. Converting because of marraige is never stupid. My wife converted to Catholicism when she married me because I wanted her to and so that we could get married in the church without the hustle of her being a non-Catholic. And I wanted our children to be brought up Catholics too.… but you cant be muslim just because of some stupid reason such as your wife or husband or whatever… like it says “there is no compulsion in religion”… i hope this helps…
God bless.
well, its good that your wife converted…but did she do it out of her own will?Surprise of all suprises. Converting because of marraige is never stupid.

And I wanted our children to be brought up Catholics too.
The man in question is smart enough to become a Muslim through marraige to a Muslim girl. If he truly want to avoid the problem of being a non-Muslim husband! And I’m sure he will become a good Muslim as my wife have become a good Catholic!
The question is actually - shall one leave the religion of one’s faith? **If you are entrenched enough in your belief, convicted in it and understand it, you will not going to abandon it. **
This is the problem of Catholics today. Sure Catholic parents bring up their children as Catholics but by and large leave the formation and the teaching to the church to such activities like the CCDs or the Sunday schools. How many parents are actually living up the Christian life and show the examples to their children? Thus children as such will never truly experience the goodness of their faith and they see church and religous activities as just mere chores which they don’t like.
And we can’t keep our children in the church if they want to leave as there is no law outside of it to stop them from converting. The stigma among Catholics society is not strong enough to act as a deterrent to stop them from leaving. But the Islamic situation is just different. The pressure from the family is enough, if the Islamic government has not already ensured it, to stop them from coverting to other religion.
A good example is the conversion of Abdul Rahmen to Christianity in Afghanistan. Thus in a matter of marriage, most of the time it will be Christians coverting to Muslims just to follow the would be spouses’ religion. Of course there are many instances of the opposite that are happening too.
Peace.

No one hates you and you’re being respectful which is refreshing. But I disagree with the statement you made, I think there are still a good amount of devout Christians in America. I think America’s in your face media and advertisers, that constantly makes people feel that if they aren’t into shallow activities, superficial possesions, and sexual perverts they’re worthless, warps peoples view of American Christians.well, its good that your wife converted…but did she do it out of her own will?
i would never force or tell my wife (if she is a Christian/Jew) to convert to Islam. it has to come from within… I will tell her about Islam like I am supposed to but I can’t tell her to convert, thats unIslamic…
i dont mind marrying a Christian woman… if she is a good and devout Christian woman…then again i am only 20… not really concerned about marriage…
it is hard to find good Christian family nowadays who still has traditional values…and even if you hate me, you know you agree with me… like i mentioned before, if all the “Christians” in America acted like one, we would be in a much better situation.
Except he is hindu. You are totally ignorant.ashok is a perfect example of the ignorance muslims have about Christ and Christianity. It is mindboggling.
No he isn’t, he said he was Hindu, but is Muslim now.Except he is hindu. You are totally ignorant.
by that do you mean i was not respectful before? i am always respectful of christians, jews, etc. i just dont disrespect ignorant people who are old enough to know right from wrong…No one hates you and you’re being respectful which is refreshing.

Thank you for being so charitable here. I want you to know that we really appreciate this kind gesture. I have found that there are dearths of Muslims here who want to dialogue genuinely on inter-religious issues. Maybe it is because of lack of knowledge of Christianity, wanting to ridicule or just to proselytize. The sad thing is we too begin to respond with our own sarcasm which contributes to the declining quality of the discussion.hello all,
Ashok, i am a muslim, but i dont see any constructive idea of insulting the trinity dogma. You can critisize constructively and i am sure most will have no problem with that . But your antagonizing words does more harm than good.
Allah has forbiden us in the Quran to insult other peoples Gods . I guess we can project that on the core of their beliefs as well. Again , this doesnt mean we cant have a constructive debate about it and have a constructive critisizm.
For the members of this forum, please accept my appology .
I know you may mean it in a different way, but I don’t hate you, brother, as I don’t hate any of the Muslims here.well, its good that your wife converted…but did she do it out of her own will?

No I just said you were being respectful, I haven’t seen any of your other posts.by that do you mean i was not respectful before? i am always respectful of christians, jews, etc. i just dont disrespect ignorant people who are old enough to know right from wrong…
but, yes… i live in nyc…so i live in an urban place where there arent really too many Christians left… and everything revolves around sex, drugs, alcohol, etc… thats why I guess I have not met too many devout Christian people…
Muslim said:i would never force or tell my wife (if she is a Christian/Jew) to convert to Islam.
what if she wanted to raise children as non-moslim?
do you allow your sister to marry a Christian?i dont mind marrying a Christian woman… if she is a good and devout Christian woman…then again i am only 20… not really concerned about marriage…
