Society & Culture - 9 February 2007

From the number of replies on this site regarding how Islam is viewed it seems to me that those Christians who condemn the Qur'an haven't bothered to read thier own holy book namely the Holy Bible. If they have they conveniently ignore approx three quarters of the book namely the Old Testament in which Jesus is prophesied - it is also a book full of genocide of tribes surrounding those of Judeah. Open any book of the Old Testament and within its pages are horrors unimaginable carried out in the name of
God.

White have been slaves to according to a good friend of mine. Vikings where captured of the coast of Africa and keep as slaves for generations. They are estimated to have 3% white slaves in Egypt today. They are locked in the house so foreign media will not know about it. I dont know how i feel about it but i can not feel that there is any wrong doing since the whites enslaved far more of blacks. What do you think?

Even more than atheists.

Do you think so?

Agree or disagree?

Why?


For me, I think so. I'm a muslim and I'm constantly get these sort of remarks from Christians in general, Atheists seems to be much more intelectual and insightful, other religions are cool, but Christians....they insult/mock/constantly try to prove me wrong every step of the way.


By the way, I'm not accusing Christianity, I'm merely stating the majority of the haters are Christians, agree or not? Christianity is good if taught properly, I know because I know some nice Christian folks.


So, do you agree that Christians pick on other religion, ridicule them, biased, constantly try to prove their beliefs are wrong

is true or not?

Is it selfish and discriminating for homophobes
to deny marriage for homosexuals?
Is it wrong for me to accept homosexuals
and other people?If God loves and cares
for everything and everyone he created,
then what happens if some of his followers don't?Will it actually be a bad thing
if homosexuals had equal rights like
everyone else?The reason it bugs me
is because I see a bunch of hateful
and disrespectful questions towards
homosexuals who don't deserve it.
To me,I believe I'm the only straight
person on here who actually accepts
homosexuals and wish they had
equal rights like the rest of us.
If I am,I don't mean to insult.
I expect to see some serious,mature and
respectful answers.I'm serious here,
if I see any gay-bashing,you will be reported,
because I've had it.Everytime I see
a gay-bashing question or answer,it truly burns me up.

Everyone is talking about Obama on the left right now and condellisa on the right. Quite frankly I'm tired of it. I am certainly open to electing a person from a minority group, but I am not going to elect someone just because that person is black. It seems just as stupid to me to elect a person because they are black or a woman as it is to elect someone just because he's the presidents son. And I'm pretty sure if we do so we'll get the same result.

The biggest thing I fear is if we do elect a black president, we'll be accusing anyone who criticizes the president of being a KKK member. I would love to have a black president, but I also hope when we do elect one that we are mature enough to deal with such an official in a way so that dialogue about his/her policy is not clouded by this race crap. It seems by the reaction to Biden's comments regarding this pettiness, that we may not be mature enough to elect such a person yet.

What do you think?

While most don't know who first came up with the idea of relatism, and what that person said about Christianity, compaired to other religions or ideas. But society continues to act hypocritically to chirstians and not other religions. While I ask know who and why this idea came about I would like to put it out there, so that people can talk about something beside religious views of a religion MOST don't believe in, quoting scriptures to give mock answer(pulling out of context) and then saying we'll also i am not a Christian, why use the bible as a source? I understand that no question will get a definit answer, for someone can ALWAY doubt any answer, as Sextus Empiricas showed in is circular debate to knowledge, rather my point is to express that most have a view of Christianity trying to push something, while the true message is that we-Christians have taken on a calling to love EVERYONE and show the reasoning in our belief, and if one wants they may take up this calling...

From the Qur'an, Ali translation, verse 4:34
"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because God has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what God would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For God is Most High, great (above you all)."

Nowhere in the 66 books of the bibledoes it mention anything about this, and in the Greek scriptures even the apostle Paul wrote that the leaders of the Christian congregation should (among other things) be the "husband of one wife".
