As opposed to some people who have never read them at all but deign to consider themselves sufficiently learned to call those who have ‘bigots’ or ‘islamophobes’ or bin-laden types…
and…
Muslims who conveniently ignore the inconvenient hadiths when they are brought here.
And he’s still not answered me. In Islam this must pass as ‘
debate’.
I’d like him to show the Koranic verses that over-rule Mut’a (Temporary Marriage)
There’s one Koranic verse Sunni believe does this…
The Qur’an, chapter 4 (An-Nisa), verse 24: “ And (also forbidden are) all married women except those whom your right hands possess (this is) Allah’s ordinance to you,
and lawful for you are (all women) besides those, provided that you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage not committing fornication.
Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what is appointed; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.
— translated by M. H. Shakir
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An-Nisa%2C_24
It doesn’t actually say this, but Sunni simply have the opinion that Mut’a is against Islam, and therefore prohibted by this verse.
That is, the verse itself doesn’t say it’s wrong, explicitly, it takes some Moslems ‘opinion’ that this is so. Shi’a Moslems of course reject this BECAUSE it does not explicitly rule out Mut’a.
Thus the Koran is not all sufficient. hamba2han hoped to point score against the Bible on this matter and has in fact now left the discussion - for the last several posts of his have avoided answering my questions
And so admittedly there’s a stream of thought that accepts this verse as abrogating Mut’a, it’s not clear-cut.
And Female Genital Mutilation is also not expressly forbidden either.
In summary of his ‘style’
hamba2han attacks the Bible. He asks questions
These are answered and I ask questions
My questions are ignored, he simply ploughs on ahead asking more questions
These are answered, I ask more.
My questions are ignored and he now makes an appeal about “Islamic experts”
