I have reasons for having faith.
The difference is that in Islam you believe in absurdities and contradictions.
**Please let’s not engage in accusations and misrepresentations of each others faiths that are not true, what hard fact evidences do you offer to back up your views?, Just name one…
Remember what Jesus [Peace and blessings of god almighty has taught us in the bible, [Matthew 5:20 “For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven”/COLOR]**
I see this from arguments put forward by Moslems too - how it has affected their way of thinking.
Let’s just call one “Ham2” for the moment. He argues about the corruption in the Bible message then uses the Bible to show how it predicted Muhammed’s ‘prophethood’.
Does not he know that not all of the bible and whatever is in it is not corrupted and there are variances and differences in the bible same as in the hadith. I guess he does not know. it’s know It’s extremely impolite and very well unnecessary that a muslim comes on this forum and disrespectfully talk about the bible or the catholicism. he has no right to…! and yes tell him from another Muslim that is know how you debate with other people.
He argues for the Gospel of Barnabas - as being genuine, but against the idea that Jesus was ‘substituted’ on the cross, even though the Gospel of Barnabas evidences this.
**Look here, though I have no idea what the gentleman was referring to however the matter of crucifixion is evidently address by the Quran in lots of ways, it’s permissible for me as a muslim to engage attacks and counter attacks on faith and particularly on a Catholic forum, perhaps some misguided Muslim do that and as you and I know for a fact some extremist muslims do lot more than attacking any ones faith.
So my friendly advice to you is that learn the subject enough so you can easily judge for yourself fact from lies.**
We see Moslems argue Muhammed is the example for all time, but when I raise the issue of Muhammed’s marriage to the child Aisha* I am encountered with arguments that say “Oh, that was then!” (in other words it’s an example relative to only that time).
My friend, I have no idea where this silly idea “really a laughable yet sick joke” of the prophet of God marrying a baby comes from but it’s a nasty blasphemy and those who don’t know much about Islam always sort of use it, I suggest that you visit one of the sites below and see for your self, this is not more than a sick lie.
Another is the argument that there’s no compulsion in religion, yet you impose a tax and special conditions on people (non-Moslems) just because of their religion.
This isn’t even touching upon the absurdities in the Koran and Hadith (such as talking ants, etc.). It’s the same mentality that says “Islam is a religion of peace” when you mean “Islam wants everyone to peacefully submit to Islam”. *Peace *and
submission aren’t the same thing.
I** agree with you and you are right, the word peace “Salaam in Arabic” the word Islam “submission in english to the will of God” are not the same thing and do not mean the same and Salaam “peace” is not used to mean Islam is a peacuful religion, however, why could tell you what makes Islam peaceful and why Islam is peaceful. in some other time perhaps.
What is with the Ants…? can you please elaborate. thanks.**
The amount of times Moslems refute themselves!
You’re quite welcome to discuss any or all of these issues separately, or altogether (may we adjourn to a new thread of your creation?)
*-where you can claim a girl is actually a woman, but no Moslem nation seems to want to give such ‘women’ adult rights such as that to drive or to vote AT THE SAME TIME they conclude she’s a woman (under Islamic law) - in other words, she’s only a woman when it serves for a man to marry her.
I think you are somewhat exaggerating, I will dismiss your views out rightly, but one of the reason women don’t drive in the case of Saudi Arabia has lot ore to with cultural then Islam, moreover, Muslim do vote, become prime minister of her country, head of state. I suggest you research more, it will strengthen your knowledge about Islam lot better.
My dear friend, instead of get into a counter argument and trying to disproof your points, I suggest you go on to selected authentic religious sites (www.islamonline.net,
www.harunyahya.com/index.php,islam-usa.com,www.islam101.com/dawah/course101.html) as these sites are good enough to give you a clear and better picture of what Islam is and not.
Thanks so much for your valuable time,
Peace and god bless,
