Do you think Islam is responsible for the teachings as shown in that video?… Islam is a fine religion. The moderates are good people who follow the laws and don’t bother people…

I’m meeting a Muslim girl tomorrow for a project we are working on for our class, she seems devout, born here but speaks fluent Arabic, always dresses modestly…It’s all made up. And we were warned about this kind of thing. Those that choose to ignore the warning do so at their peril.
Pope John Pail II was an Islamic source?All those things are in Islamic sources, and you can’t even tell the difference between good and evil since you don’t even see anything offensive in the Quran!

Apparently you don’t know what I was writing about. You do have to read the context.I’m meeting a Muslim girl tomorrow for a project we are working on for our class, she seems devout, born here but speaks fluent Arabic, always dresses modestly…
I’ll keep my guard>.>
I mean, she seems like a perfectly sweet girl, but apparently the Internet says otherwise:blush:
Thankyou, that means a lot.I must apologize for my comments as I hurt inside when I think of 911. I hope you understand. I am really not angry per se, just whenIi think about it which is never…If a Muslim or anyone were to be dying on the street, I would help that person. Again, I am sorry for my comments.

It happens, we say stupid thingsI must apologize for my comments as I hurt inside when I think of 911. I hope you understand.

Very poorly done and misleading to others.I know,
I was, as they say, jokeing
perhapse a poorly done one, but nothing more![]()
I feel that you are very wrong, Kadaveri. This is the very style of teaching i.e. without really understanding, that makes any religious fundamentalism dangerous. Brainwashing a child - yes, child - of two years of age is a recipe for the continued problems that abound with regard to different faiths. Les.I don’t see where she’s being taught hatred for anyone, believing that those of another religion have gone astray is not hatred, it’s a warning. I thought it was very cute actually.
Unless you have some scientific study to present it’s actually your oppinion
It didn’t. Just more psychosexual displacement.Now how does that video speak of extremism? Treating a BABY like a sex object.
Thanks for posting this righteousone. I respect these sentiments a great deal.I must apologize for my comments as I hurt inside when I think of 911. I hope you understand. I am really not angry per se, just whenIi think about it which is never…If a Muslim or anyone were to be dying on the street, I would help that person. Again, I am sorry for my comments.
Thanks for the laughter Amy. Mohammad did not have an army at this time to take his revenge on this city which he revealed as a fantasy when he conjured up the angel of the mountain “to destroy the town” cos the kids threw stones at him. Do you think the punishment fit the crime? Destroy a whole town because children pelted Mohammad with stones? you say Allah says there is no compulsion in accepting Islam so why would an angel suggest such a severe punishment unless the angel was of the evil type?..Satan comes to mind.Sounds more like wishful thinking on YOUR part. Yes mountains have their own angels. Don’t you believe in angels?
At any rate, Muhammad there followed the Christian teaching to pray for your enemies… riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?![]()
I wouldn’t be too concerned with what the internet says.I’m meeting a Muslim girl tomorrow for a project we are working on for our class, she seems devout, born here but speaks fluent Arabic, always dresses modestly…

See?I wouldn’t be too concerned with what the internet says.
I’d be more concerned with what the Qur’an and Hadiths say.
Apparently, the mother in that video is not contradicting the Qur’an and Hadiths. Apparently, the mother in that video knows her Islamic scriptures.
I am sorry Amy but you did not answer my question? Is this how you were taught the Muslim Faith, like this little girl in the video?I don’t think the girl is being indoctrinated, nor do I think she is being taught hate.
She is asked two questions, “Who are struck by Allah’s Wrath?” and “Who are the misguided?”
This is, as far as I can tell, the only mention of Christians OR Jews in the entire clip. Correct me if I am wrong.
Now, Muslims pray 5 times a day, a total of 17 cycles (rakaat), each cycle involves repetition of the first chapter of the Qur’an, called Al-Fatihah.
The last verse or two verses read as follows:
Guide us (O Allah) to the Straight Path; the path of those on whom you have bestowed your grace, not of those who earned your wrath, nor of those who went astray.
There is a very common interpretation of this last sentence, that those who earned the wrath of Allah are the Jews, and that those who went astray were the Christians.
You can read it in a popular book of tafsir/exegesis, I’ll even quote you the link. You can read it for yourself if you doubt me. All it (the interpretation, which is not limited to any group of people btw) is saying is that the Jews and the Christians are not on the right path of God.
Muslims believe that Jews have abandoned the commandments which God has instructed for them. All Jews? No, not all Jews. But this description is of a people who have God’s Scripture with them, but who do not implement its laws. Notice that there are only a minority of Jews today who observe traditional Judaism (e.g., those who call themselves “orthodox”)
And Muslims believe that Christians have lost the true knowledge, the essence of the message which was taught to them. Muslims believe that the message was really tawheed, and that because Christians believe Jesus is God/SonofGod, that they are misguided.
Frankly, I don’t think this is hatred at all. The interpretation does not suggest hatred of Jews or Christians, it doesn’t recommend any action against Jews or Christians, except for guidance away from their path.
This is a way of saying do not follow the way of the Jews, or the way of the Christians. Because although Muslims believe that these people were given guidance they have abandoned the guidance or strayed from it.
It’s not hatred at all. And frankly, I would be astonished if Catholicism teaches anything different. I would be astonished of Jews really taught anything different.
Do you believe that Muslims are on the right path, or that they are misguided? Do you believe that Jews are on the right path, or that they are misguided? Don’t you believe that they should convert to Christianity instead, in order to achieve grace?
Muslims don’t teach their children that Christians or Jews are guided correctly, just like I’m sure you don’t teach your children that Muslims are guided correctly.
It’s not hatred.
I take my little brother to Mass every Sunday.I’d like to think that, underneath it all, you’re still a Catholic. It’s what you claim to be.
Did you notice how even people who weren’t little children, who were at least old enough to use a computer, took it literally? I left you a message…I take my little brother to Mass every Sunday.
I appreciate your concern, as for my comment, it was cearly not literal, the question of weather I intended it to be a sarcastic snipe or just a jokeing comment was ambiguious, which I cleared up, if I were trying to be rude I would have apologized.
I learned the “muslim faith” by reading the Qur’an. I didn’t learn it as a little girl with a parent having me quote back answers. What I explained here is what I learned sitting in a class, with a teacher, talking about the explanation of this verse. And that’s how I have learned Islam–reading books, and having them explained by a teacher.I am sorry Amy but you did not answer my question? Is this how you were taught the Muslim Faith, like this little girl in the video?
Now the video cleary states,
“Who are struck by Allah’s Wrath?” “The Jews!” and “Who are the misguided, the Christians!” So are you saying this is not what it means?It translates to something else? Then you say…
"Muslims believe that Jews have abandoned the commandments which God has instructed for them. All Jews? No, not all Jews. But this description is of a people who have God’s Scripture with them, but who do not implement its laws. Notice that there are only a minority of Jews today who observe traditional Judaism (e.g., those who call themselves “orthodox”)
"And Muslims believe that Christians have lost the true knowledge, the essence of the message which was taught to them. Muslims believe that the message was really tawheed, and that because Christians believe Jesus is God/SonofGod, that they are misguided…Then you say…
“Muslims don’t teach their children that Christians or Jews are guided correctly”…if this is what you believe then is this what you teach:shrug: which one is it:shrug: I am not putting you down I really want to understand?
Rather than take it literally, you can also look at it as a literary allusion. A metaphor, meant to teach a deeper lesson.Thanks for the laughter Amy. Mohammad did not have an army at this time to take his revenge on this city which he revealed as a fantasy when he conjured up the angel of the mountain “to destroy the town” cos the kids threw stones at him. Do you think the punishment fit the crime? Destroy a whole town because children pelted Mohammad with stones? you say Allah says there is no compulsion in accepting Islam so why would an angel suggest such a severe punishment unless the angel was of the evil type?..Satan comes to mind.
Please see my post above, quoted by Gone Fishin’, where I explain the teachings of Islam on the subject.Do you think Islam is responsible for the teachings as shown in that video?
