well for starters, buddhism was created by gautama buddha, who was known as SIddharth.. he came frm a kingly hindu family n left his family seeking truth.. he is not only regarded as god by the buddhists, but is also seen as an avatar of lord vishnu, one of the three supreme powers of hindu kingdom..
jainism founder, mahavir, too, was a hindu and is given tremendous respect in hinduism.

Since the pray to images of the Virgin Mary, saints and also make images of Christ.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me

and from the Qu'ran

17:22: Do not associate another deity with God.

They say God is one...where as they worship Mohamad more than God, they bow down their heads before the objects in mosque prayers and kiss the stones and pillars during huj.They that quran is the holy book, where as it is a self-thought idea of history events which occured before islam.(Note: Dont tell me to understand islam first..i have already knew it and found a fake document for muslims). Look at the history..how islam came and where from...

why we are here on this site ? you may say to anwer ppl`s Q and ask them ,ok so it a great way to communicate with others but why ( specially in religion and spirituality section ) ppl attack each other and try impose their beliefs on others for example some ppl here attacking islam and accuse muslims with terrorism ,if they are here only to attack not to communicate or know how others think and how can we get along ? i mean after all we all are humans despite our differences , if they are here to attack only so i hope they enjoy their ignorance cuz believe me when they attack islam or any other religion it doesnt affect anyone but them , muslims remains muslims as matter of fact it makes many ppl wanna know about islam more ( the same is applied to any other religion ) for example if person kept attacking christians ,i will try to get to know more christians and understand christianity , this doesnt mean to convert but at least to understand each other
not in a competition .

That's about as ignorant as stating that Warren Jeffs and the current Pope of the Roman Catholic church think alike!!

So, why can't people understand that the Muslim faith is very diverse as well?

As an agnostic, I found that there are some good philosophic points in the Bible and the Koran.Generally people are decent but too far to the right or left is scary. Never take anything to seriously.

are either encouraging or discouraging. Encouraging because I am beginning to understand Islam a bit better. Discouraging because I realize it's not easy to understand Islam. Their Quran verses can easily be taken out of context. Their's more to it than just verses. You've got to have knowledge on the historical background at the time the verse was spoken and whom it particularly refers to. Unlike, in the new testament what was spoken by Jesus can almost be taken plain and simple. What is said is what you literally get.


The reason I brought this out is because from what I had this few questions and answers with our Muslim brothers it just struck on me the reasons some Muslims went astray and onto the extreme they may have been just like my style that out of ignorance they pick certain verse and viola they hold in their hand the religious conviction beyond the norms

Could it be the difficulty in understanding Quran the reasn behind the extremist religious conviction?

Someone told me that the evolutionist charles darwin converted to christanity before he died. does anyone know if this is true, because all his studies were against what Christians beleive, and he was pretty stuck on that.

Parents who keep there kids off the religious path are just pushing there own values on there kids. The way of the world is a law/religion in itself, people in groups are so predictable and similar they just pretend they are free but have set behaviour and follow it religiously. Thats how yo identify with each other, Saturday footie, friday pub or drink heavy, corrie, enders, chat show, star gate... yuk. Many kids including me have fallen out with parents trying to find God. Jesus is a winner man.

right then, get your heads around this. luke 21:24 says jerusalem(representing true worshippers of God) would be trampled on by the nations until the appointed time is fulfilled. jerusalem was destroyed in 607bce begining that time period. daniel 4:23-25 is a prophecy with a double meaning. initially it refered to nebuchadnezzer, but it also refers to Gods kingdom. the scripture speaks of 7 times passing over. so 7 times will pass over from 607bce to the coming of Gods kingdom. revalation 12:6,14 can be used to see that 3 and a half times is 1260 days. so 7 times is 2520 days. nothing happened 2520 days after 607 bce, but if we use the 'day for a year' principle found innumbers 14:34 and ezekial 4:6, that is 2520 years. 2520 years after 607 bce is 1914.
so if Gods kingdom began ruling in 1914, we would expect the signs of christs presence (matthew 24:3-14) to be seen. plus, revalation 12:9 explains why bad things happen. talk to jehovahs witnesses. they know a thing or two.

He tried to get me out of his life, he left us, he started dating within a week, he is living with another for 3 months, we ar not together total 6 months. Now he is coming to see me at work unexpectactly, he comes to see us at home, he is such a good "friend" to us.He looks around to see what needed to be fixed with house. His mother nagging all the time overtired him and left to find a solution. He started asking me things if anything to tell him( a man in my life?) By the way, he had everthing, we had no arguements, he loved my daughter as his own.It feels to me as he was trying to cling on someone else to get over me. Now he is returning back as a friend, WHY? AM GOING CRAZY, can't get no sleep, I want a solution, I want to know the truth, I can't push because he might get scared and run, I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A CHANCE 2 GET BACK TOGETHER AND HOW TO MOVE ON WITH HIM. SHOULD I KEEP IGNORING HIM, ASK HIM TO GO OUT, I HAVE A DEADLINE IN MY HEAD TO GIVE IT A TRY, WHATIS THE BEST
