Answer 1

Some of it it true, some of it isn't. I'm a former Muslim and this is what I have to say...

Unfortunately, most Muslims (not all) do hate those who don't believe in "Allah". In Mousques they pray for the destruction of America, Israel, etc. The lands of the non-believers. They pray that earthquakes shatters the land beneath them and pull them into hell. They pray for the deaths of Christians and Jews. Why? Only because they don't believe in their beliefs/religion. Sad isn't it? I don't know why so many people convert to such a hated religion, where parents teach their kids to never speak or be friends with a non-muslim, or where you are forced to pray 5 times a day everyday just so "Allah" can hear you. And that literally EVERYTHING a persona can do in any other country, but Saudi Arabia (the heart of Islam) is a sin. Literally. Freedom is just a word in Islam, it isn't even that! Freedom is non existint in this religion. Your freedom is to worship a god who believes killing those who don't believe in him. Then why did this so called god create humans just for humans to kill eath other? Why create us at all if we're just going to kill ourselves? It's a sad religion and I feel sorry for those who think Islam is the one and only true religion. Because you know what... there is no such thing as a one true religion. It's a man made religion so people can follow ONE man's beliefs and expect the whole world to worship him. There is no religion, there is no Christianity, Islam, Judisim, etc. All these are just words and a set of rules on how to live your life. Is that why we're here, so kill each other, to hate each other becuase your religion is different than mine? it's very sad how people think religion is your way of living. A true religion doesn't judge, convert, obsess, rule or control. A true religion is what YOU truly and spiritualy believe in, wither it's worshiping a rock or sleeping with a pig! Just ask yourself... what do you believe in?

Answer 2

You call yourself god and go around spouting nonsense like this. You must have forgotten that the Christians have committed a lot of atrocities in many countries, the inquistition, the Salem witch trials, etc. The American Constitution is not based on Biblical principles. If you read the Bible you will understand that the Christian God is no better than Allah.

Answer 3

I disagree with you. I know a Muslim and he told me that he can quite easily be friends with a Christian but other beliefs are forbidden. So where did you get your information from? Did you get it from a Muslim? I don't think so. BUT I do agree with you that a Muslim will not at the end of the day put a country's constitution before his Islamic beliefs. I believe quite definitively that any person who chooses to live in another country MUST abide by that country's rules and laws - otherwise they should return to their own country. This is a simple fact of life and I can not ever understand why the person living in another country can not understand this simple fact. Also, anyone living in another country different to their own must be glad to have freedom of speech and if this country is not sufficient to meet their needs then they must surely want to return to their own country. I am amazed that many Muslims come from abject poverty in their own country to a very good life in another, namely the UK, and have the audacity to complain when that country does not conform with their Islamic beliefs. I believe that this is an ungrateful attitude. So you are right - Muslims can not be good Muslims in another country if they are not willing to accept and integrate with the beliefs and customs and laws of the adopted country.

Answer 4

Next time include the entire Qur'an.

Please don't waste everybody time by making a statement, a rather bigoted statement, in the form of a question.

"He that is to come". Do you recognized that greeting? Probably not. Christians and Muslims are both waiting for Jesus' return.

Answer 5

I would like to believe that a person can transcend the severe restrictons of their faith and join the Community of People.

It is a very reasoned arguments, and those are the most scary.

May I quote you in the future?
