Some Christians always say Islam was founded by prop. Muhammad (pbuh) and some say Muhammad (pbuh) wrote the quran. Why don't they try to know the truth of Islam? Why do Arabic speaking Christians use Allah for God?

Just say you took a hand full of children raised them and taught them only basics like communication and the main needs to live. YOu than took this group and left them on an island. Do you think they form a religion or find any sense of God?

If your answer is either yes or no please back up your beliefs of why and why not.

Thanks you.

And if so, what kind? I believe that God has a rather dark sense of humor, looking at the sorry state the world is in now...

I previously posted a question about the answers posted by many muslims when faced with constructive and educated criticism of their religion. My point regarded the inanity of some of the answers, which absolutely proved my point 100%. And I quote from Leo H

''U R NOT SO ADVANCED IN 21ST CENTURY TO SLEEP WITH UR OWN SISTER OR DAUGHTER''

How is that a response to my criticism of a vicous stoning to death? Does it defy belief?

Since the religious take every opportunity to discredit science, and they choose to believe unbielevable stuff....should they benefit from what science has to offer? Should they be allowed in hospitals for example? If god is looking after them...they shouldn't need medecine. I know it's daft....but that bugs me.

People all over the world are always arguing about which religion is the right religion and which religion is wrong. sometimes these arguements can lead war, offensive stereotypes and other offesive acts. Do you think arguing over religion is stupid or smart?

Sign the petition online, and try to save the life of a 13 year old girl (Zhilla) in Iranian custody. She has already been given 55 lashes of the whip, and could face stoning to death under islamic law.

So do you muslims agree with the treatment of this child, as taught in the koran, or do you condemn it? Straight answers yes or no, I don't want huge sections of the koran copied and pasted.

Palestinian Greek-Orthodox minister Naim Khoury, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bethlehem, claimed that the only country in the Middle east where Christians are not persecuted for their religious beliefs is Israel.

He described how his church was repeatedly firebombed by Islamic jihadists.

He also asked why the European Union has refused to defend Christians in Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority.

According to Khoury there is a growing anti-Semitism and sentiments of anti-Christianity in the Middle East and in the Palestinian territories in particular. Regarding Bethlehem, he stated “I think maybe two percent [are Christians]." “I can see around us in the whole area [that] Christians are leaving.”

Those who deny 'Allah' will be punished by pouring boiling water on their heads, and forcing them to wear clothes made from fire. This will cause their bodies to be scalded and burnt both from inside and outside. Their skin and whatever there is in their abdomens, will be melted. They will be punished with chains and whips made from Iron.If they try to run from all these torturous suffering, they shall be forced to turn back into it. Quran 14.16 : In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water. Quran 14.17 : In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting. Quran 22.19 : These twain (the believers and the disbelievers) are two opponents who contend concerning their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down their throats. Tolerance?

I mean some things I can understand, there have been events that have led people to get a bad idea about it. But what about other religions? How come its so bad to be religious, when it should be the other way around? I mean I personally am not at all religious, because I don’t feel like I have the strength to, but I still got so offended when I read a lot of the questions. How can people be so childish and ignorant? The thing is though, that since there are so many people who say things like this, it makes me think that maybe I am the backwards one for wanting to be religious, or for simply getting offended. I just would like to understand from these people why they hate it so much.

To point out that stories like Adam & Eve or Noah's Ark or the Tower of Babel can't possibly be literal truth, they're clearly allegories and myths dreamed up to explain the (what was at the time) unexplainable. Every culture has them and people accept them for what they are, not try to force everybody to think they are real. It seems like only in America and Islamic countries do (some) people take any discussion of religion other than unqualified praise as an attack. Funny we have that in common...

Since she's always into searching spirituality, it is high time that she may consider studying Islam.
