To understand islam, you have to read the Quran. However, you cannot read just the Quran and draw your own conclusions about Islam. One has to read the Quran in the right context set in Muhammed's (pbuh) life. To do that, one can use the biography of Muhammed and the various Hadiths, collectively called the Sunnah. A Hadith is an oral report from Muhammad or his companions.

Ishaq’s Sira, or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the earliest account of Muhammad’s life and the formation of Islam written by Ibn Ishaq in 750 A.D.

Next, the history of al-Tabari called the Ta’rikh, written by Abu Muhammad bin al-Tabari between 870 and 920 A.D, is the oldest, most trusted and comprehensive history of Islam’s formation and Muhammad’s example.

Al-Bukhari’s Hadith, titled: Sahih Al-Bukhari - The True Traditions was collected by Imam Bukhari in 850 A.D.

Sahih Muslim, the last hadith to read is written by Imam Muslim, who was a student of Bukhari.

Read them all.

If you believe there is no God, you are essentially saying "something came from nothing." This justifies someone saying a jar of peanut butter appeared out of thin air. Am I missing something? Isn't pefectly reasonable for me to assume that there is "something" out there that started it all? Isn't more of strecth to go through weird socretaen philosophy and say we all live in a vaccum and nothing outside our reality exsists? Why is it that because our five basic senses can't measure it that it is not real? Do our basic physical senses validate the existance of something?

Thousands of people have been killed by hurricanes.

Isn't it about time that we fall to our knees and pray to Posiden, God of the Sea?

Isn't it obvious that Posiden is angry with us and he shows his anger by unleashing massive hurricanes?

Also, If you read the news you will notice that icebergs are melting at an astonishing rate which will cause flooding and enviornmental problems.
Who do you think is causing this??????? That's right......It's Posiden, God of the Sea. Repent, Lest he smite ye with a mighty wave of hellish destruction!

When will you repent and pray for his forgivness?

"let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law, and if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for woman to speak in the church."

If you were writing a novel, and one of your main characters was a troubled teen, how would you write her? Would you go ahead and use profanity, because it's realistic? Or would you avoid it?

But the Beatles preached a gospel of love does this mean they are the sons of God?
Personally I do not think so but I am taking this literal thinking of the religious zealot and applying it to now

There was a male caller on the Muslimah Dilemma programme 3/12/06 at 19:00, he was saying "that this is a strange world, you 3 sisters sitting there are wearing hijab, but mothers from other muslim families take their girls to the mosque after school, their little girls wear little scarves but the mothers do not wear anything, no cover" this man is supressing and depressing women. what does he means by that? do men want to take women rights away? i thought we had rights to choose whether to wear it or not. why are men getting involved and telling women what to do?

Why is it when someone points to a violent part of Christianity's past a Christian says the acts were not done by a Christian? Is it so hard to admit that a follower of Christianity got the message wrong? I know that Christianity now preaches peace and love but the past paints a different picture of certain periods. For those who have no idea of some bad times, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleus_Maleficarum or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_times or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition

Given that in the Gospel of John, Jesus decides he is the son of God, he doesn't know, then could it be that a carpenter from Nazareth pulled of the biggest con in history?

Revelation 1:1

"A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented it in signs through him to his slave John,"  

God gave Jesus a revelation? But Jesus is supposed to be God right? So how did God give himself a revelation to himself to give to John?
Did God personality No.1 give a revelation to God personality No.2 who would of not known as it was a revelation so that God personality No.2 could give it to the apostle John through an angel. And what was God personality No.3 the holy ghost doing all this time?

What a muddle.

We should set our thinking by God's standards.

in response to q's like; why wouldn't God just forgive us, why would God, this and that. Nowhere in the bible does it say that God is a big sissy and he'll do whatever we want for us. Just because I might believe with all my heart that if I stood infront of a train I would not get killed, doesnt mean that I wouldnt. God is real, angels are real, heaven is real, Satan is real, demons are real, hell is real.

and Muslims think that the Bible has been twisted by Christians, then how can you ever know what Jesus or any other prophets truly said? You can take nothing the Bible says for truth if it's ALL not true... therefore, nothing but the Quran can be true? So why claim any heritage or belief to anything at all but the Quran?

"They were all filled with awe and praised God, "A great Prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country." Luke 7:16-7
(we Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet ,why don't Christians accept that he was a prophet?

..."I have not come on my own; but he (God) sent me." John 8:42
We Muslims believe he was sent by God ,not son of God or God incarnate ,so why Christians believe he was part of trinity?

..."Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him"...
Matthew 8:24-5
We Muslims believe Jesus was like any other humanbeing, why don't Christians believe?

"On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived." Luke 2:21
We Muslims get circumcised, so why don't Christians get circumcised?
