I just found a website that illustrates perfectly how deception is being used by a certain religion to draw uneducated curious people into their trap.
http://www.speed-light.info/
It's jam packed with pseudoscience and ridiculous conclusions. Anyone who is even remotely educated in physics and astronomy will get a big laugh out of this. The worst part is that the authors of this website have actually changed parts of the Koran to support their claims.
Is this acceptable? Is this right? Is this honest?

Hell no it isn't right! I've been to that website before, and I just had to shake my head. At first it appealed to my curiousity, but it wasn't long before I came to the exact same conclusion you did. That website is a load of crap, and it makes me distrust internet evangests in general. I'm sure you've seen plently of Christian based websites that use similar tactics. It's becoming more and more common. Some religious freak will stumble across a website that somehow glorifies their religion and gives them comfort. Then they'll go on an evangelical mission parroting the garbage from the website that "proves" their position. It's a real shame. It is NOT acceptable, it is NOT right, and it is NOT honest. I think the people who made that website are inspired by Satan, the so-called prince of lies. Hopefully, decent honest Muslims will have the guts to confront these vipers, and persuade them to remove that bogus trash from the internet.
That website is both an insult to religion and science at the same time.
Peace!

I think you will find that most religions are using falsehoods to spread their faith, I refrain from using the word lies because most ppl spreading their words are not aware of the true histories of their religions.
You say that the Koran has been changed, well so has the Christian bible many times over the years, bits have been ommitted or added.
You must remember that the bible is a compilation of writings written by man, it is not the word of god, it mainly the word of man and his dealimgs with God.
Mind you the Koran is not the the only place to mention time dialation, there are many Celtic stories that mention it also, so this does not make the Koran any more fascinating than any other religion, whowever I find it fascinating to look into the similarities.

I will go ahead and say a serious NO. There is enough truth in the Bible. There is also enough true logic and reason to validate the Bible, if people would let go of their preconceptions. This generations Atheism and Agnostocism is the same as generations past swearing that the earth was flat, or dark-age ear barbers' belief that most sicknesses could be cured with leeches. Refusal to see OUTSIDE of ignorant preconceptions leads to foolish justifications. Sadly, ALL religions have done this, including the four heavy hitters: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Atheism.

You have answered your own question and left nothing for a Yahoo answer. The simple and straightforward answer is that it is not right, nor honest nor acceptable. You are talking of the gullible public which is waylaid by twisting the message of Allah I have seen the same tendency in quite well-educated Christians to write elaborate essays to decry Darwin and reestablish the biblical theory of Creation. The movement has government support also. There are regular exhibitions to prove this.Even a Nobel lautete scientists had made a pitiable attempt to justify the existence of God by taking advantage at the time of lack of adequate instruments to measure the motions of the electrons in an atom to argue that God was sitting there at the centre of the atom guiding these motions.Dr. Eienstein aptly remakred that the scientist has become a poet here. It seems that Man needs the idea of god as he feels himself forlorn in the wide universe. A philosophical system known as Pramatism seriously argues that even if god may not be there we have to invent him to be by our side in this sruggle for life. We can understand the psychological need . However,how long can we remain in this Fools' Paradise. We are sure to be expelled like Adam this time not for eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge but for not eating it.

no , it ' s not right to use lies in spreading my religion .
i ' m Muslim , i live in a Muslim country . i ' ve watched many programs in t.v. about scientific facts in the qur'an .
it was great .
i don ' t know a lot about physics and astronomy .
but if it was a mistake in their demonstration on the web ,
surely , they don ' t mean it and u can discuss with them in order to know the fact .
it 's not bad that a good believer tries to see the greatness of Allah .
in Islam , a fakir ( prof. ) said a fatwa (answer for a question ) , if it was right , he would get 2 good , if it was wrong , he would get 1 good .
thus , it ' s not a problem if a Muslim did a mistake . the mistake is to be stubborn and insistes to go on the wrong way .
after reading the comment of D-expedition :
what should i say to him ?
the mentioned lie is better than ur insult because this lie will not incite violation and hitred as they said on the site

Followers of all religions have used subterfuge at some time or the other to spread that religion, so maybe there's something that's not right, but then you making the second wrong too by harping too much and showing your hatred for Muslims, maybe you need to change the attitude pal?

Ask Joseph Smith.
He used the same tactics and the Mormon Church has adapted the Bible and changed what they believe many time to be more appealing to the people they are trying to reach.
I don't believe it is acceptable.
What is there to believe in when the thought is built upon/around fiction? There is no honesty involved with it. You lie to deceive and further your cause, not that ethical either.

No, A lie is wrong and the father of the lie the bible says is Satan the devil. Jehovah's witnesses had a few studies with me and i know for a certain they will lie to you to spread their religion, i've even caught them in their lies so they don't come by anymore.

more or less answered elsewhere but, since religion is lies in the first place, what choice is there. The truth is far too dangerous for the mullers, rabbis, imams, priests, ministers, popes etc to allow. After all, it's called "jobs for the boys"

No its not right because if people become converted when they do realise that what they were told were lies, then they would most likely not believe in that religion as they would assume that the whole religion was a lie.....i would
