I just want to know what exactly people can dislike about Islam,
If you have a partcular question you can contact me and I'll try to answer it insha'Allah.
For all you Christians- you should really look at your personal beliefs and then check out Islam, alot of people find that they already belive what Islam teaches.
Peace

Christians,The Bible says Delight your self in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Is it wrong to pray for the desires of you heart and if it is not what are godly ways to petition the Lord for the things you need as well as the things you want?
Does certain things take time to achieve? What are godly ways to wait on Gods timing for the things we would like to have and what is a good way to be content in the Lord?

Please tell me what your religious belief is, and in your own words define Christians (the people, not the religious belief). It is a survey I am doing for Bible Study.

So the other night I was at a party with my friend, he had about 2 beers and it takes a lot for him to get drunk, so I know he wasn't drunk. What happened was out of the blue he said to me "I don't think being gay is natural and I don't condone what you do in your free time and I never will, but we'll still be friends forever." That really hurt my feelings and I couldn't believe one of my best friends of 3 years had said that to me. I told him later how bad it hurt me two times, but he still refused to apologize and said he had a right to his opinion. I understand this but to think/say that about your best friend? I don't think i can forgive him or think of him the same way again. I'm not even sure I can even be his friend anymore... Am I a bad person for that? I think that's what I get for hanging with a republican :(

I was a member of church for 10 yrs (off and on) and I have come to realize that everyone who goes to church is not necessarily aChristian. I'm looking for someone, who's looking for someone to love them like Christ loves the church.

My understanding is that Christians believe that "Christ died for your sins" and that "God gave his only begotten son (John 3:16)" etc.

Yet it is also believed that Jesus the Christ is resurrected and alive in the flesh.

So where's the sacrifice? 'Give' is forever. If you give a thing up, that's sacrifice. If you get it back, that's no sacrifice. God got his 'Son' back, so he never 'gave' anything.

And don't give me the 'He suffered and died' bit. Lots of people suffer and die, and for good causes, too, and none of them has come back alive in the body, so their sacrifice is real.

I was the dorm leader at a Christian kid's camp over the summer. I had five girls in my dorm ages 8, 10, 11, 11, and 12. We were together for five days.

I'm writing a generic letter and then I'm going to personalize a bit of it for each girl. I got pictures developed and I'm going to send those as well as a CD with the same pictures plus a video on it. I've also included a picture of myself from a team I was on at school.

Do you have any other ideas that won't be too costly? I want this to be a fun and encouraging package that they receive in the mail. I don't want to spend too much money though. I also don't want to get too many things or things that will be too heavy because that will cause the shipping price to increase a bunch.

Thanks so much!

At the onset of it? In the middle of it when things are getting pretty bad? When doing it yourself is simply not an option? or before it happens?
I wish I could say before, but I'm not that proactive.

This may involve science and religion. There is the Big bang theory and the One-Cell Organism theory and more. If we look back deeper, where can the tiniest matter come from? Can something exist on its own?

Why do some take anti-Islam sites word for it when they say that Islam says something? Why don't they find out the whole truth about it? Here is one example. People say women are equal to dogs. What do you think about this?

Volume 1, Book 9, Number 474:
Narrated 'Aun bin Abi Juhaifa:

Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490:
Narrated 'Aisha:

The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him."

I heard my father saying, "The Prophet led us, and prayed a two-Rak'at Zuhr prayer and then a two-Rak'at 'Asr prayer at Al-Batha' with an 'Anza (planted) in front of him (as a Sutra) while women and donkeys were passing in front of him (beyond that 'Anza)."

a minor crime be given a jury trial, instead of a single judge do all the decisions of whether they are guilty or not.?? I have a very good friend serving five years in prison for a "forced" forgery charge. Her husband made her forge some checks, and he threatened her if she didn't do it.... He got off scott free, and she is serving time.???? Why couldn't she have a jury decide her fate.???

Supposedly they were created on day 6 and then God rested on day 7, a thousand years later by Christian Creationist logic. Please explain other than saying God can do anything.
