  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place.” (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim.) Is plague a sign of judgment in Islam? How do Muslims interpret good devout Muslims dying from plague? If...

    What do you know about the knocking star? (AT-TARIQ)

    this question is asked in surah 86 known as the AT-TARIQ or knocking star. This is a common theme in the Quran where something is spoken and reaffirmed in a question like "what do you know about the..." The text refers to something called the knocking star which indeed seems odd. Modern...

    Islam Can Islam be distinguished from Arabs

    Islam started in Arabia, Muhammad was an Arab, his early companions were Arabs. The Qur'an itself is written in and read in Arabic. So from its earliest days Arabs have been dominant in Islam. Today Hajj is to an Arabic country and Muslims bow to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Saudia Arabia spends...

    Do Not Bash Muslims

    One of the greatest misunderstanding in discussing the issue of Islamic-based terror, evil and violent acts, is barking up the wrong tree, fire fighting and missing the critical root cause, thus allowing the problem to fester and grow. In most cases [presumption all religions are peaceful], the...

    The Greatest Genocide of all Time (and unknown to most in the West)

    After reading and sometimes participating in threads about Christianity and warfare, especially in regards to the Crusades and Islam... I just wanted to correct the record especially for those who tend to make moral equivalency arguments between Christianity (at its worst) and Islam...

    The rise of Islam in its spiritual context

    As a Christian I have often wondered why Islam has grown so much and at the reasons for its initial success. The contention of this thread is that God allowed Mohammed (whom most Christians consider to be a false prophet) because more good came out of his rising than bad. Basically by raising up...

    Isalm...peace Or Jihad?

    Many Muslims will say that Islam is a religion of peace, even as they denounce terrorism. Many others will insist upon Jihad, even as the denounce efforts to co-exist. The Truth of the matter, at least for the Christian is this; Islam is not a religion to be trusted, no matter what the claims...

    Hanging Of Gays....

    They hang homosexuals in some Muslim countries. This would not be my approach. I would rather help gays repent and believe the Gospel. However, this practice clearly demonstrates how much better Muslims understand the utter depravity of homosexual sin than Christians might. Some 'Christians'...

    Same God???

    It is said that Christians, Jews and Muslims worship the same God, 'the God of Abraham.' Do they? Christians worship 'the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,' and 'the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (Exodus 3:6; 2 Corinthians 11:31). Jews worship 'the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'...

    ISIS leader resurfaced in the News

    Just wanted to find a place on the internet to safely discuss any curious thoughts or scriptures that come to mind regarding this group. Ironically, today for instance, I came across Nahum chapter 1:11 which states: "From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the LORD and...

    Why cannot Muslims play football?

    Yesterday I was talking with an Iranian man who was a sports teacher in Iran before becoming a refugee. We were talking about sport and the conversation turned to why Iran had never won a world cup. As we discussed I realised that no Muslim country had ever won a world cup and that indeed the...

    What is a moderate Muslim?
