Shouldn't Moslems be tolerant and patient with YA users who seem to get their kicks from posting hate questions targeting their religion and prophet instead of responding with anger and insults?
Even in the early the times of Islam there were men who not only slandered and abused the prophet but actively sought to physically eliminate him and they ulimately became fervent defenders of the faith.

christians-do u honestly believe a person can resurrect themselves? turn water into wine? as christianity was originally developed as a part of judaism (jesus was a jew after all...apparently) how can a god in human form be unacceptable to jews? i am an atheist (proper one!) and do not believe in any deities or gods, only in good and evil. i am genuinely interested in how people can be so bold in believing something that they will never see alive or dead, as my father was taken away from me when i was 9, is this the work of a genuine 'god'? i beg to differ. all religions dictate you must not prey to another god, yet the bible contradicts itself by declaring itself christian, but telling the story of judaism and in parts islam. please discuss, i am genuinely interested.

Im not a great military historian but off hand, I cant. For example, Alexander the Great is considered one of the greatest generals of all time (if not the greatest), but I dont think he was in as many battles as Muhammad.

Napolean probably was, and Im guessing Rommel & Patton were close. Any military historians who can shed some light here? General Lee almost certainly was as well now that I think about it, but holy cow, 26 battles, thats enough for 4 lifetimes, that easily a full time, cradle to grave career of murder.

Heres an Islamic source regarding the 26 battles. http://www.islam.com/chronology.htm

Someone just claimed this here.


I was wondering:

Does anyone here know of a single heterosexual, christian, married couple whose marriage ended because some guys got married?

Gays have been getting married for, what, over a year now....

How many heterosexual divorces has this caused?
Anyone have the numbers?

*snicker*

I believe one of the most important things to know in life is the reason for living. I just want to know others reasons for getting up in the morning. What makes them live and keep trying. It is an amazing thing to have this understanding of one's self.

What's with some Muslims who claim Music is Haram. I know they cite this hadith.

* "The Prophet SAWS said, "There will be (at some future time) people from my ummah (community of Muslims) who will seek to make lawful: fornication, the wearing of silk by men), wine-drinking, and the use of musical instruments(ma'azif). Some people will stay at the side of a mountain and when their shepherd comes in the evening to ask them for his needs, they will
say, 'return to us tomorrow.' Then Allah will destroy them during the night by causing the mountain to fall on them, while he changes others into apes and swine. They will remain in such a state until the Day of Resurrection.(related by Imam Al-Bukhari in Fat-hul Baari, graded sahih)

The only possible reference to female homosexuality is in Romans, 1:26 -27 specifically. But I am sure this is not what Paul is alluding to - I'm sure it is other practices he would consider "abnormal."

We must have some evidence that all of God’s revelation comes to us in written form.

The New Testament authors draw on oral tradition, but not so explicitly in support of doctrine.

Scripture states that God has provided for His church through "infallible Scripture.", Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Matthew 5:18; John 10:35; Acts 17:10-12; Isaiah 8:20; 40:8; etc.

I asked the question a minute ago. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnYtv9301z9avUz4ByJ3Rhbzy6IX?qid=20061024163254AAnOhGD

Notice the answers from the Muslims. Isnt it amazing that there are 1.2 billion Muslims and almost no musicians in their midst. Cat Stevens converted to Islam after his run in the music industry, so obviously he cant be counted.

Why? The reason is due to the fact the Islam forbid's music itself and most Muslims accept the scriptural basis for that claim (see linked question above for the actual islamic scripture).

Does everyone know the expression "music calms the savage beast"? Its too bad that music, along with just about everything else, other than hatred and violence, is forbiden to Muslims, cause they sure do need it.

Imagine a world without music. Imagine a world without the sight of the opposite sex. Wouldnt you be filled with hatred, like many muslims, even before being told to hate the kafir by an imam in a mosque?
