Islamic religious mentality is stuck in the 8th century. There is an intolerance towards anyone who does not think or agree with the islamic orthodox dogma. In Pakistan, under the islamic blasphimy laws, anyone who disrespects (they judge) islam, the prophet, the koran, can be punished by penalty of death. I wonder if an islamic version of Martin Luther and an islamic reformation would bring these people from the darkness of the 8th century and into the light.
Obviously, you don't know anything about islamic history. Islamic culture, religion, economy, and yes law, is based completly off of the life of the Prophet Muhammed and how he acted. This have been constant in Arabia for the last 15 hundred years. I really don't think they could start "implementing" new laws.
So you are for violent Christians but against violent Muslims? Just wanted to confirm that. It is what you have said, and I could post your exact words if you like. Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with it. You are just taking sides, like many.
And you place sincere practice and belief in God in the same catagory as rape, murder and peadophillia. Do not judge a scripture that you have not read and has been interpretted and reinterpreted so many times before anything to with it reaches you. Do not judge a man who, when he wakes finds a cat sleeping on his cape and cuts that bit off as not to disturb the animal. Blessings Sebbi
In islum it's a held belief that you can insert your penis into the vagina of a girl under the age of 9 as long as you don't go past the forskin....Now if you slip and go all the way in her, is that a sin in Allah's eyes?
So basically you're saying that all muslims are paedophilles? And please reread what you quoted of me. What you said actually has nothing to do with what I said. Blessings Sebbi
Implementing new laws is not the issue. If there is no room for reformation of thought, unfortunately, Islam will remain the disrespected, discredited and irrelevant religion it has become - much like Yassir Arafat in his final years.
Ahh, yes, Islam... "KORAN, n. A book which the Mohammedans foolishly believe to have been written by divine inspiration, but which Christians know to be a wicked imposture, contradictory to the Holy Scriptures."- Ambrose Beirce, The Devil's Dictionary And Muslims do not where "towels" on their heads, that cranial accesory is held by a sect of Hinduism.
It makes sense when you say that you support non violent jews , christians and "towel heads" , but I don't understand why you name jews as jews, christians as christians and then -- other groups as "towel heads" . If you want to prove a point, I suggest that you do it appropriately without making it an ego trip.
First of all, like Sebbi said, the scripture has been interpreted, translated and reinterpreted so many tiimes that 90% of its original intent has long been left behind. Second thing is that the laws based on the way the prophet lived is fine, but the prophet lived according to the situation and the times he lived in. It is very possible, I would say likely, that he would have acted in a different way in today's world. The laws should be based and interpreted not according to WHAT the prophet did, but according to WHY he did it. To understand the wisdom brhind the actions of the teacher is the true success of the disciple.
Actually, The Koran is thought to be the most accurate of the holy books, becuase the language it was written in, arabic, is still used today.
I think it's quite refreshing. Just think- as long as we're not jewish, christian, or wear towels on our heads, we can be violent! yayyyyyyyyyy
muslims and jews have no foreskin try again ED. maybe if they had keept it they would have something to play instead with.
A lot can be known about a religion by the acts and utterances of its leaders who dictate the rules of conduct that are willingly accepted and followed by their millions of followers in the faith. Consider the following acts and utterances of Islamic religious leaders and judge for yourselves. (The previews of these posts don't show the website links. I Hope they show up when I post.) Acts of the Prophet Mohammed from : "...Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64: Sahih Bukhari Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death). The intervals between prayers are used for quick stands "I used to wash the traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it... ...How it all began ( a long time ago in the isolated deserts of Arabia) : Already, when Aisha (the daughter of Abu Bakr, Mohammad's closest friend and unquestioning ally) was about 4-5 years old Muhammad started dreaming of a union with her [Ref: SAHIH BUKHARI, 5:235] and he wasted no time in realizing his dreams, inspite of the fact that object of his dreams was a mere child.Perhaps you want to assume that it is "normal" for a 50+ year old man to dream of marrying a 4-5 old child, and then ACTUALLY ask for her hand at 6? Is it normal for an oversexed old man (Muhammad had over 9 wives and concubines) to dream of a union with a 4-5 year old girl?" Utterances of the Ayatollah Komeini from : A "...man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate vaginally, but sodomising the child is acceptable. If a man does penetrate and damage the child then, he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl will not count as one of his four permanent wives and the man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister... It is better for a girl to marry at such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband's house, rather than her father's home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven. ["Tahrirolvasyleh", fourth volume, Gom, Iran, 1990] A man can have sex with animals such as sheep, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, but selling the meat to a neighbouring village is reasonable. ["Tahrirolvasyleh"] If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrement become impure and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed as quickly as possible and burned. Wine and all intoxicating beverages are impure, but opium and hashish are not. If a man sodomises the son, brother, or father of his wife after their marriage, the marriage remains valid. During sexual intercourse, if the penis enters a woman's vagina or a man's anus, fully or only as far as the circumcision ring, both partners become impure, even if they have not reached puberty; they must consequently perform ablutions..." Hmmm, family values, indeed.
as is too often the case, those who would attempt to universalize ancient teachings often pay the ultimate price... issa ibn maryam al hallaj the bab
This post has both fabrications in it aswell as misunderstandings which I will -Inshallah- explain later but ofcourse this was not your intention as you "only" were interested in knowing truth, right? (Then you shall be given that which you seek) but if trouble was what you was seeking then my post won't go through your ears but it will be rejected without you even reading it first.
To Whomever It May Concern: You need not argue with me, merely, deny that the quote regarding the Prophet's betrothel to a 4-5-year-old girl and his marriage to her when she was but nine is not true. I understand it is from Koranic sources. While you're at it, you may as well bring whatever evidence you may have to disprove Khomeini's utterances. Hopefully, you will include links to your back up your "apologetics" and to assist us in our deliberations. Documentary evidence is very hard to deny, especially, when written by those of the Islamic persuasion. Carry on.
