How can god expect me to believe in him, when he created me in such way that I doubt things, and he didn't give me any proof of his existance. So why doesn't he give me any proof of his existance? I mean, If I was supposed to believe in god without any evidence, tham why should't I believe in other gods, thotems without any evidence? On the other hand there are a lot of proofs that god doesn't exist! Just look at a photo of a kid in africa dying from starvation?

Is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) prophesized in the Bible not ghost?Isaiah 29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Song of Solomon 5:16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is Muhammad (Read Hebrew KJV). This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
For reference read Hebrew and Arabic KJV

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:12-14
16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

I notice when some muslims speak about their religion, when there is a name it is often followed with (pbuh)...what does that mean?

Seriously. When Hitler was doing his cruel thing, he dehumanized the Jews and people referred to them as people are reffering to us muslims today. Even going so far as to call every place a muslim lives an "infestation". I wonder how they feel being exactly like Hitler in his screwed up way of thinking that if somebody follows a religion, they must be this specific way and not human. So what, does somebody who converts to Islam has DNA that all of a sudden changes? Are years of education at Universities suddenly wiped out in your opinion? Or are you just plain ignorant because the TV told you to be?

Received a email about a Professor from Virginia emailing Dr. Laura, the talk show host about her recent comment that the Bible states clearly that homosexuality is wrong. He wrote to her asking her that since she clearly knows the Bible then how can these other Laws be kept, such as burning a sacrifice because it would upset the neighboors with the smell and other Laws of the Old Testament. I feel that we are not bound by the Old Laws since Jesus made the way for us. Then what about the 10 Commandments? Can others shed more light on this subject?

The wars in history which muslims were NOT involved are countless. Look at every continent - there were wars that had nothing to do with Islam or muslim.

Land was taken away from Red Indians - Aborigionies - Many countries in Africa - New Zealand (Maories) - The fight between the Boer and British in South Africa.

USA / Vietnam
USA / Japan
USA/ almost every continent

HOW ARE SOME OF YOU SO SUCESSFULLY BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT WAR?

The false things you hear people say about Muhammed is way out of proportion......................or is it that when people want attention or are bored they just pick for argument.?

I could be wrong (yes, i'm sure some fanatics will say 'who are YOU to question God?') but I thought the purpose of punishment was to deter and reform.

Take prison for example. It acts as a deterent to commit crimes because people don't want to go there, and (hopefully) the people who do go there won't want to go back (reforming them). I DO know that this doesn't work on everyone.

So what about God's punishment of eternal torment in Hell? Ok, it may act as a deterent for people who believes the religion but God must know there are MILLIONS of people who don't (we all KNOW prison exists), so the deterent is not very strong. Plus there is absolutely NO reform. Apparently Hell is an ETERNAL punishment, so you can't come back after a good torturing and say 'wow I really don't wanna go back there so I'll be good from now on'.

So apart from the slight deterent, it seems to me (yes, i'm only a mere mortal) that the only thing gained from he punishment of Hell is God's revenge.

...Difference between the "God" that Krshna, Jesus, Buddha, Moses, or Mohammad experienced?

It seems to me that most people do not realize this. If you do realize this, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence. But if you have not realized this yet, I challenge you to at the least read other sources of religious or spiritual knowledge, not to convert you but so that you may see for your self that God has blessed all of mankind with these and other great spiritual leaders and teachers and that they all stem from the realization of Divinity, but expressed differently as aspects of God Manifest.

Krshna taught through Transcendence
Buddha taught through Compassion
Christ through Salvation.

Now tell me, out of transcendence, compassion, and salvation, what aspect is not God?

I'm sorry....since when do Christians have their own God?

I thought that the Jews and Muslims shared Him too...maybe I'm wrong.

Do not answer with "God does not exist, it doesn't matter" or "You live a lie" or something like that.

The only difference between the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faith is...

Jews are God's chosen people(still waiting for a Messiah)

Christians ARE Jews, but we believe the Messiah has already came(aka Jesus)

Muslims believe Jesus was not the Messiah, or the Son of God, but was just a prophet. They believe Muhammad was the latest prophet to come to earth. (they're still waiting for the Messiah)

That is the ONLY difference....

Why do some people say "the Christian God" or "the Jewish God" or "the Muslim God"?????

It's the same thing, just differen't names for Him....correct?

Muslims do you use logic in your faith?

Why do you pick allah over yahweh? Yahweh saved the jews in the exodus and split the red sea, allah has no records of any achievements except pretending itself to be yahweh. In which case, why don't you worship yahweh?

Why do you believe muhammad more than Jesus? Jesus had a miraculous birth and had an impeccably righteous life while muhammad murdered people and robbed caravans?

Why do you believe in the qur'an is flawless when it does not even concur with simple logic and says the sun sets in a muddy spring?

Why do you say islam is peaceful when your islamic brothers are killing people everywhere?

Why do you pray towards the ka'aba which houses a black stone but reject being labelled an idol-worshipper?

I know you have TONs of excuses. But why do you need excuses to believe in a religion? Isn't it very tiring?

At my school, they say we are allowed to learn about religion as long as we learn about all religions.

I have just finished the 7th grade and am going into the 8th. But, the only religions we have learned about have been Christianity, Judism, and Islam.

Doesn't 'all religions' also include the pagan religions as well? Or will I learn about those later on in my school life?

I have learned about religion in my History class. Also, do you think it should NOT be required to learn about different religions, or should we just have an elective course on it?

What is it like at your school (if you still go to school) or what was it like (if you have already finished school)?

I would like to know what you think. Religion has seemed to interest me lately.

(I'm Agnostic by the way)

QUOTE - During the Islamic Golden Age (622 AD - 1258 AD), scholars and engineers of the Islamic world contributed enormously to philosophy, science, and technology,

Do your research. I have my serious doubts on the above.

Islam was established by Muhammad(pibuh) in year 610AD. From 629AD, Muhammad was running from his enemies. At 632 AD, Muhammad was poisoned to death by one of his captive girls. Thereafter, there were tribal wars all the way till 750 AD where Imam Husayn was slaughtered and the Abbasid Empire was established. By 945 AD, the Islamic empire was in quick decline and disintegrating and then came the crusades and the muslims were engaged constantly in wars until 1230 AD when the muslim turks rose and waged huge wars to expand the Islamic empire.
