Of course He can but why would He when He has His Angels to carry out such duties?

Because why would God Himself come down to Earth in the human-form? We believe that God uses His angels, such as Gabriel to carry out his tasks here on Earth. This is not the first time Archangel Gabriel (peace be upon him) appeared in the human form, he also did this with the Prophet Muhammad...

Is it no different to the people supporting the troops regardless of what harm they cause to innocent civilians?

Eye for an eye, etc. is already ordained in Islam. Nowhere does it say melting of the face and stomach for thieves.

No, it's literal. The only time a thief would be granted amnesty is if he/she did out of dire need, like stealing food at the time of a drought. The idea behind the law is to make the thief an example to the rest of society. It sends out a harsh message and hence provides a good sense of...

What is this? The 'atheist preaching' thread?

Off topic, but how'd you become an atheist? Evolution got the best of you?

Voted. I hope you get it, you really deserve it.

In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the...

Then how do you explain this: "The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger before whom many Messengers have passed away; and his mother adhered wholly to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do). See how We make Our...

This is true, we will follow him when he eventually comes back. Jesus, peace be upon him, will lead the people of Faith against the unbelievers (who will follow the Anti-Christ) in Jerusalem. God willing, Jesus will slay the anti-Christ and following this, the World will be filled with peace and...

I guess he's basing it off the idea that people are looking for a savior to save them from their sins and eventually Hell, when in fact God is the only One with this power.

I also commend on your sincere interest. My brother sur explained it perfectly. Jihad against one's inner desires and lusts is considered the ultimate jihad/struggle. There are many numerous forms of jihad, among them is a Muslim who leaves his/her home country to seek his/her livelihood...

It's because you went during one of the five daily prayers. If you went on Friday during noon, you would sit down and listen to a sermon before praying. Friday is our holy day.

In Islam, it teaches us that there are two forces that lead us away from God and into sinning. One is Satan and the other (which plays a bigger part) is one's desires, inner-will, and lusts. By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; And inspired it (with conscience of) what is...
