I have a conscience that tells me that. Furthermore, the Bible shows me that too.
they off course didn't thougt that killing of children is moral practise , no it wasn't moral , may be it was normal not moral
Those people that sacrificed their children and buried them were just as ignorant as Muslims were when they thought it was OK to marry many wives. These people did believe that their children's burial somehow pleased their gods. They didn't do it just because they wanted to. Likewise, Mohammad thought that marrying many wives was OK since it was normal at that time. Culture norms are not necessarily moral acts. People often follow crowds because they were raised to believe and act according their cultures. To them, such things seem normal, and as a result, they become a moral value in most cases. Some do question such acts, but the peer pressure and cultural pressure normally makes it difficult to stop practicing. They teach their kids the same, and the beat goes on.
again , they didn't kill thier children as a moral action or as a requirement of thier beliefs
it was bad practices ,
In their minds, it was moral; otherwise why did they do it? The reason that you believe that you can marry more than one wife at the same time is because you have come to believe that it is moral. Why? Mainly because this was already a common practice in Arabia and that your prophet did it too. That is where you get a portion of your value system from. Therefore, your moral code is as such. That should not be so difficult to understand, elwill.
no one justifyed it before or after the islam
That would not be true. People still did it and accepted it is moral. I am sure that some people still do it today, most likely in more remote places in the world where they can go undetected.
it's silence issue in islam ,
Regardless, it is an option for people to practice, which would make it immoral by today's standards. You cannot get around that. Furthermore, all it would take is a movement to make this normative in Islam and it could then become a normative practice. The bottom line is that this can become a normal practice. The door is always open for that possibility. Will you deny that?
you who raised this point against islam and against the prophet
and you who supposed to proof for me that it was immoral in the view of God
One of the greatest mistakes that Muslims make is to think of those who disagree with some aspects of Islam as an attacker or that they don't have any knowledge to know understand Islam. Since you are constantly on the defense about your religion, it becomes very difficult for you to see any objective POV. There is no reason to protect your prophet. Let his actions speak for himself. Just because you believe that he is from Allah doesn't give him any immunity to be judged by the human mind and spirit. In some cases, I can see that wrong is wrong without reading your holy books or any holy book.
If we simply look at the Qur'an, Sunnah and Hadiths alone, then we can probably conclude that all actions of Mohammad are moral, but then again, many of us non Muslims would have to turn off our brains and stop listening to our conscience in order to make Mohammad's actions as moral. God gives us a sence of morality that we can make judgments on things. The problem is that if you are indoctrinated with religion, you can easily loose that moral filter that God gave you. Your actions then become normal to you, and you don't give much thought to them again. You just become a propagator of these actions.
i don't think that you realize the situation of this event , it wasn't personal , there are mant reasons for killing him
I think that you should then provide a more reasonable explanation, because the one that you have given is not good.
I think so. God gives me a conscience to realize that it is. That is all that I really leave. I can also reason it through reason and intellect if necessary as I have already started to do. I could likewise say that you can't prove the opposite.
hey , each one think that God speak to his soul , and believe me , not all of them christians
That is true, but not everyone will allow God to minister to their spirits either. Whether you believe it or not, God is always working on all of us in some way. Only those who have submitted to Jesus as their Lord can obey God's calling properly. God can try to get through to everyone, but many resist Him because their religion and personal philosophies are more important to keep than what He is saying to them. Being indoctrinated with religion usually prevents this process. It is not until you start to step back from religious indoctrination and rituals that you can start to see what God is saying to you. God will not prevent you from believing what you want. He will not force you to see things His way. Elwill, He will not stop you from believing that Mohammad never did immoral things either. It is your choice to prevent yourself from seeing this as a possibility and a reality, IMO.
I am still waiting to see if you can confess that some of Mohammad's
actions were immoral, or if you will continue to justify everything in some way.
