the brute said:It's an intersting point. One of the things I'd wonder is, why is it happening? What's the attraction of Islam?
The fact that the koran is ambigious, and any muslim can interperate it their own way, makes it indeed something to be afraid about.crashedman said:The attraction of Islam is that it is a religion that ensures and enforces peace and chastity.
But they believed in the abominated version of Jesus. Jesus is indeed the son of God, they believe something that is contrary to the Bible. What surprises me is how they mention Jesus, yet fail to mention the indepth theology of Christianity. This in my opinion was caused by heracy, and this idea spread through the trade routes and influenced mohummed.They also cherish fidelity, discipline, and honour in the same way that Christians are asked to. Yes, the Koran does mention Jesus in it, but they believe Mohammed to be THE prophet.
???Islam also works, because it reveres order and prosperity. It won't work on me though. I'd rather die defending my family than to give my soul up for another faith that honors violence and paedophilia as opposed to peace and sexual self-control.

Buskanaka said:Islam is the religion, a moslem/muslim is someone who believes in the teachings of Islam.
crashedman is right, I think the attraction is that it is such a strict religion, and some of those rules are similar to Christian morals, and are probably good things to do. However the focus is on those rules and there are incredibly harsh penalties for breaking them. And the truth is, it's not a religion of peace like most people will try and tell you. True muslims are hell-bent on making the whole world a muslim state.
Anyway back to my original point, I think most people just want some order in their lives, something to look to as a standard of right/wrong because of the messed up post-modernist world we live in.
Yeah, it's just like you said. You are soooo tolerant!Bevlina said:THAT is too true Soul. And...it makes me.........mad!!!
Andy you have no idea whats it like dealing with lebanese muslims. They're so rude when they're selling shoes, no manners, and they expect you to buy. If you don't buy they go agressive.theFijian said:Yeah, it's just like you said. You are soooo tolerant!
