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.

up for an answer


See, we (all us Muslims) could provide you with Qur'anic and scriptural references till we drop. We can engage in argumentation over this until the end of time with you (I for one am not interested) and even if we present all of the correct and true information you will still disregard it dearie.

If you want an answer as to why it is better that is something you will have to search for in your own heart and mind. Because, truthfully, you really don't want or care about our answers, do you?


Another point regarding Christians that was brought up earlier...

Not all Christians are Trinitarian Christians. Not all Christians believe that Jesus is G-d...

G-d is GREAT!!

Peace all,

May God bless you each

noor saffiyah sad,

No offense meant, but Jesus said, out of the heart comes defilement and wickedness.It would be best to ask God to lead one, than relying on our corrupt hearts etc...

Peace

Hi All,
its been an interesting read on my part and i thank you all for this, but like the OP questions, i genuinely want an answer to the following verses if i may from a Muslim
Surah 9 [29] Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
quot-bot-left.gif
quot-bot-right.gif

They beleive in everything EXCEPT Muhamed. so, you either kill them, or force them to become muslims, or take Jizya from them and make them feel themselves subdued.
Muhamed commanded you not to greet the people of the book:

quot-top-left.gif
Quote:
quot-top-right.gif
quot-top-right-10.gif
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.why is this?

NewMan2.....You wont be a loser. Who said that?? CAn I turn your question around and ask you this:

Why should I as a Jew, leave Judaism and convert to Christianity or else i will be thrown in the lake of fire?? How cruel is that???

You seem to want answers for your question but when someone gives you an answer you ignore it. Why are you ignoring the answer they are giving you??? I guess you ignore it because you dont want to accept the truth.

You seem to think they are cruel and there religion says you either worship Allah or you die....is that correct??? If so I didnt know this...wow. But then again Jesus says basically the same thing, right??? You either worship Jesus or you burn FOREVER!!! I would rather choose Allah and die rather than choose Jesus and burn forever!!!!!! No offense to you tho......

Shalom Shay 2005,

Perhaps you should study Islamic eschatology, compared to Judaism!You would see a huge difference in your ancient scriptures compard to what Islam teaches Muslims will do to Jews.

Tell me in the Torah where Ha'Shem says to slay the pagans wherever you find them, and hack at their necks?Show me where Yeshua/Jesus taught violence or even partook in it?Even when he was arrested and Peter cut off the ear of one of the guards Yeshua healed the man, and practice what He preached when He said "love your enemies!

Shalom and shalom

When we "advance" to Islam then, we are "fulfilling" our religious experience by giving up lesser revelations such as:

1. Jesus was not crucified and the 200 or so scriptures dealing with atonement for sin and the finished work of Christ are null and void to us.

2. The righteousness of Christ is no longer imputed to us.

3. If we do enough good works by force of will, we might be saved

4. We have no assurance or promise. Like Muhammed, who said "I do not know what Allah will do with me," we no longer have any good idea whether we will be saved or not.

5. Our relationship with God becomes far more impersonal because we are now bound to maintain rituals, such as facing east at certain times of the day, traveling to Mecca, wearing certain clothes, or we lose his favor.

6. The Holy Spirit who Jesus said will "comfort and teach you" is to be rejected as an imaginary manifestation of the Godhead.

7. Anything in the NT which contradicts Muhammed's assertions or non-Christian historical records is false

Correct?

Thanks anyway.

Rad
Well,
"what if you knew that what you believe now was not true but the things that you believe in were decided for you by MEN centuries ago.. That is the history of Christianity and the Church. The realities of this Universe prove that Christianity is false, and the Bible will bear witness to two gods, yahweh and The One G-d. It is a seriuosly troubling revelation to christians when they realize the truth about christianity, it origins, and its parent,judaism! So to christianity I say no thanks. Not personally attacking you but just showing that your are hijacking this thread!

peace and blessings!

Hello,
I am a Christian worship one God who created heavens and earth.
I believe in God, His Books, His Prophets, Angles, Judgment day.
Why should I leave Christianity and go to Islam?
What does Islam Offer that is not in Christianity?

Thanks

What does Islam offer?

The Truth.

That is all I will say for now, but why I say it so succicntly will be clear soon(insha'Allah). If this is a flame I apologize in advance...but it seems that most of the christians in this forum who continuosly post these lies about Islam that have been refuted centuriesago are nothing more than liars, or at best unwitting contributorsto the propagation of lies. Ex:New_man, i believe, said that "Allahu akbar" does not mean that "G-d is the Greatest" but rather "G-d is greater than"..Ansarullah looking confused as to why he can't post images since he's been on this forum for years and when the website crashed a while back was relegated to the staus of newbie

Prove it.That has been my ongoing challenge...Many in here keep posting Hadith that contradict the Quran, without informing their readers that MUSLIMS know all Hadith that contradict the Quran as false;Or deliberatley posting wrong translation of the Quran for their purposes; Or worse, deliberatley interpreting in one reading or two, from a Christian point of view, what it has taken some of our best Muslim scholars their whole lifetimes to do. All with maybe only a commmand of conversational Arabic,at best;as if the Quran is written in Conversational Arabic! Maybe that is the only way their point can be made..shrugs..I don't know...Ansarullah says to himself.You are not fooling any of theAhl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah!

Seriously, I have watched a lot of people on this forum totally trounced, by myself and many others, including non-muslims, on other boards similar to this one that deal with issues concerning Islam, only to see them seek refuge in this forum by spreading their venom to the oblivious, unaware, and naive. This will come to an end shorty, insha"llah. May Allah(swt) guide us all into all Truth

peace and blessings

Hello Ansarullah
[does this name has something to do with the goup that killed 12 Nipalis in Iraq this week or I am wrong?]
What does Islam offer?
The Truth
What Truth?
truth about what?
truth about whom?

about the rest of your post. well, this is what muslims always all the time do when they are faced with the reality in Hadeeth. they always say "oh this is a bad one." or "this is a good, but not authentic" or "one of the readers are not good enough" or "who told you that Muslims quote or follow these books???"
while, you, for example, used a Hadeeth in order to refused other Hadeeth !!! from the same book !!!
You say that Quran is sufficent!! then can you tell me how do you pray? show us verses in Quran that describ how to pray...
Are you Quranic? or Shi'a ? or Sunna ? or what ???
for Quranic sect does not beleive in Hadeeth at all!!!
Sunna beleive in Hadeeth in thier books which are not the same as Shi'a and say that Shi'a books are not authentic!!!
Shi'a beleive in Hadeeth in thier books which are not the same as Sunna and say that Sunna books are not authentic!!!

so who are you, tell us what *trusted* books you follow and we will use them fro you...
this is YOUR ISLAM, bring in ten muslims, and they will go out in 11 different sects and kill each other for not following his sect! since the time of your beloved prophet...


be well my friend, and stick to the topic.
waiting for you to answer my question about the *truth* that Islam offers and Christianity doesnt

hello Ansarullah
i believe, said that "Allahu akbar" does not mean that "G-d is the Greatest" but rather "G-d is greater than"..
Prove it.
are you kidding??? prove what?? prove that Allah Akbar is differnet than Allah Al Akbar ?
Do you know arabic??
if so, please translate these statments
هذا الهرم اكبر من هذا المبني
هذا الهرم الاكبر في العالم

فلان اكبر من علان
ترتان الاكبر

;Or deliberatley posting wrong translation of the Quran for their purposes;
these are YOUR TRANSLATIONS from your OWN ISLAMIC SOURCES
of course these translations are wrong because you cannot translate quran becoz all your calims about how peacefull and mirculous quran is will be invalid
of course these translations are wrogn because arabs themselves dont understand what does the quran say or mean....
Alef Lam Ra2!!
Fakeha Waban!!
Wal'adeyat Dabha!!

YOU CANNOT TRANSLATE QURAN BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT. AND WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND IS TOO SHAMEFULL TO BE TRANSLATED ...

have fun my friend...
see you around
