I read many answers here claiming that Islam punishes this woman! That's plain ignorant. Islam doesn't say to a raped woman you must get 4 witnesses, or else..!
Here's the real thing:
A woman who has been raped cannot be asked to produce witnesses; her claim shall be accepted unless there are tangible grounds to prove otherwise. To insist that she provide witnesses is akin to inflicting further pain on her. If anyone refutes her claim of innocence, the onus is on him to provide evidence, and she may simply deny the claim by making a solemn oath, thus clearing herself in public. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The onus to provide evidence falls on the one who makes a claim, and the one who denies (the same) can absolve himself or herself by making a solemn oath to the contrary.”

Second, the punishment for rape in Islam is so harsh, now many people see rape as the worst crime (Even worse than murder sometimes). Here:

As for a spouse who witnesses his or her partner committing adultery and the other party denies it and they are unable to provide witnesses, they are, if they so desire, to part company by repudiating each other by engaging in what is known as a solemn oath and prayer of curse (li`an). It is described thus in the Qur’an: “And those who accuse their wives, and have no witnesses but themselves, then the testimony of each of them shall be a testimony sworn by God repeated four times, that he is indeed truthful. And the fifth (oath) is that God’s curse be upon him if he is lying. And it shall avert punishment from her that she testify a testimony repeated and sworn by God four times, that he is lying. And a fifth (oath) that the wrath of God be upon her, if he has spoken the truth” (An-Nur: 6-9).

(God) except through Him. If all paths lead to God, what made Jesus say this? 1 plus 1 does not equal 5? Therefore, there is only ONE true way to get to God?

scientist and anthrapoligists have proven that dinosaurs exsisted millions of years ago and yet the bible states that man was around years ago right now how can this be because the bible also states that mankind and dinosaurs coexisted at the same time yet the bible states that mankind has only been around for so many years how can this all be what im asking is how can the bible say that mankind and dinosaurs were around at the same time and also say that mankind were on this planet alone and that we were in fact the first here when scientists have found fossils that are billions of years old also how can they tell how old bones are cos they dont have date tags on em??????

Jewish, Christian and Muslim brothers and sisters got along?


I was asked why did I ask the three questions below. I am trying to make a mere oservation. At the endo of the day we are human. And we will findout who was right about what only when we die. So why spend so much time fighting? When we can be cooperating (at least those of us who want to) and make this a better place to live on. Don't you agree? (I know we have our differences, but we need to set those aside and start with the people right next door, say hi, my name is... and try to just get along).

as Christians claim Jesus (p) did when he was allegedly being crucified?

Wouldn't forgiveness be more meaningful when you are in a position to exact revenge, yet find it in your heart to forgive your oppressors?

Prophet Muhammed (p) forgave the Makkans after the conquest of Makkah and these were people who had tortured him for 13 years.

I mean no disrespect to anyone. hope to get some reasonable answers.

Doesn't this sound theologically incorrect to you? If God is life, then apart from him, wouldn't you cease to exist (yes, both physically and spiritually)? You see genesis 2:7 says living souls are composed of dust and the breath of life. When seperated, the soul is dead.

Take it as intellectual curiosity, spiritual curiosity, curiosity about life in general, however.

This is a sort of "opinion" question...rarely do I ask these, but I don't really want personal experiences here. I want a thought-out, theoretical response, if possible--what do you think?

Plz don't tell me allah means 'god' because i know already. but give me similarities between scripture if you think they are the same god? they, in my opinion are NOT the same. why? because allah seems so hateful with his 'if they won't convert to islam, JIHAD them'. God doesn't say kill the nonbeliever, He says enourage them and be kind and loving. so my summary would be 'allah' is not very loving, God is. this is my opinion....

now i will give you a chance to give me your opinion?
