if islam is undefined, and it appears to be since anyone can interpret the writings of islam as they see fit, then it really means nothing.

saying something can mean anything is essentially the same as saying it means nothing.

since there is no one who is designated to speak the final word in islam, than there is really nothing that could be declared to be Islamic teaching.

there are simply a multitude of personality cults that gather around those men, often call imams in islam, who make the most convincing argument to their listeners or adherents about the meaning of Islamic writings.

this is not meant to be a pointing of fingers at islam alone. there are many, many faith traditions that suffer from this intrinsic flaw.

it is meant to disclose the intellectual bankruptcy of systems whereby everyone agrees that everything is subjective and truth is determined by the believer rather than by what is believed.

I have a question. Besides believing Jesus was a prophet who didnt die on the cross, how else is Jesus in Islam different from Jesus in Christianity? In what way is the story and teachings of Jesus different?

The reason Im asking is question is because Jesus is the key figure of Christianity, and Islam, another Abrahamic yet distinct religion, believes in him, and I want to know what makes the Quranic Jesus different from the Christian Jesus.

I have a question for you. Islam believes that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, but denies His Deity. Since Jesus was born of a virgin, & since the blood of the fetus doesn’t mix with that of His mother right away & can be a different blood-type from the mother, then “where” did Jesus get His blood from when He was in Mary’s womb, since she was a virgin? Also, “where” did Jesus get His Y-chromosome since He was born of a virgin?

The sermon given by a Moslem Cleric in Australia 9 years ago likened a woman with her head uncovered to a plate of exposed meat.Sheik Hilali was quoted as saying: "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside … without cover, and the cats come to eat it … whose fault is it, the cats’ or the uncovered meat’s? The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab [the headdress worn by some Muslim women], no problem would have occurred."
What I found incredibly ironic was the fact that he inadvertently likened Moslem men to animals driven by base instincts, and not rational creatures capable of self control 🤷

I also find it ironic that Sheik Hilali depicts a woman as a piece of meat. 😦 I think it is a very poor analogy.
 
I have one question right now for you. Now, Yusuf Estes is here at one of the famous Peace Conferences - answering a question about how to defend your prophet Muhammad.

youtube.com/watch?v=A2oTYAcUONQ

In the video, he responds to the question with a story about a visit to George Mason University where he gave a lecture about a topic he did not identify. However, he mentions an elderly man asking him about the marriage between Muhammad and Aisha.

I don’t really care so much about that marriage - it’s prove in and of itself according to my own moral code whether or not I ever knew my Lord. So I don’t want a explanation about Muhammad and Aisha. If another member wishes to know so, they shall ask and I will not interfere; but I really want a answer to my simple question.

I want you to tell me why this Christian convert to Islam and Pastor who calls himself Sheikh is honestly saying he would have assaulted the man who asked him this question - unless it was rhetorical.

I want a Islamic explanation - I don’t want to hear, “Well, that’s just his view…” or your view; Qur’an view. Hadith view.
