Al-taqiyya ( lying for Islam's sake ) seems to be becoming the norm in alot of answers I'm seeing. Some people conclude their answers by saying something like "and by the way I'm not a Muslim". But if you look at their history, you can clearly see that they are. If you have to lie about your own faith, what does that say about your faith? Am I the only one who sees this as an intellectually dishonest betrayal?
1. "But Christians do it too!"
2. "Show me your proof!"
3. "Muslims don't do that"
4. "You need to study Islam before you say things like that"
5. Huge irrelevant pastes from the Koran
6. Angry simpleton typing in all caps using insults
These are 6 things I am expecting from people who don't know how to answer a question.
Here's the question one more time. Read carefully...
If you're a Muslim and you deny it in order to seem un-biased and impartial, is that dishonest?

have you noticed how they ask direct questions about Christians and leave the room and change names to do it? Most of them change names to answer questions, and claim they are Christians.
hahahahhahahaha
BTW: I still wanna pull your pigtailz*

Um, maybe you should acknowledge those six things, many things you say are completely false, some of the things you accuse Muslims of doing ARE practiced by Christians and not Muslims.
It is also true that you need to study Islam before you make wild accusations, for instance: The word "Apostasy", can mean two different things. A) Apostasy, leaving Islam. or B) Apostasy, betraying a community. When the Qur'an commands the killing of apostates, it is much more likely that it points to the second definition, because the Ummah (community) that Muhammad ruled included many different religions.
Context is everything: For example, Othello the moor of Venice. Moor could refer to A) A place where you tie up boats, or C) A north African. I say again, context is everything.
By the way, I am not a Muslim, and you can check all my previous answers to find out.
Peace,

Even if my life was at stake , i would never deny being a Muslim, although Islam permits it in life-threatning situations but I would rather give up my life than to say " No, I'm not Muslim" , I am a muslim and i am proud to be a muslim and i hope to die as a muslim. And yes if you would have taken time to read the scriptures of Quran instead of by-passing them, I believe you would have been more well informed.

Anyone who claims that would have left the fold of islam.

"Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty. "
Now occasionaly i answer question pertaining to christianity from what i know of islam.m Often the questions are asked by atheist and i will then append that i am not christian. Just to clarify. sometimes those answers are favourable, i just don't want to confuse anyone.
Just because somebody writes something favorable about muslims doesn't mean he is a muslim. eg. George Bernard Shaw, Michael Hart, John Esposito, Karen Amstrong and Mahatma Ghandi.. to name a few.

do you really think you can be taken seriously by showing all this animosity towards Muslims?
I'll ask you one thing look at your own questions!! do you see some sort of a pattern there? you obviously hate our guts!! i really dont care if you love me or hate me. you dont hurt me by hating me or my religion, i dont know you and you dont know me.
but I'll give you an advise for your own good!! take it or leave it. Life is too short for all this hate and if you are a true christian you should follow the teachings of Jesus " love your enemy" or " love your neighbor " whichever one you consider me to be and be a good example not a bad one.
peace be with you

sigh. Jenny Jenny Jenny. here we go again:
I would never deny being a Muslim, even if my life was in danger.
Now, no matter what anyone says here is not going to work for you because you have no intention to listen. Your question is a sentence long but the expectations are more than a paragraph long. How narrowly do you want the question to be answered to suit what is in your head?

well....just a simple answer....
no......
just cause you are doing it.....does not mean...others are doing it...
i always use this id...
always ..make it clear what my belief and faith is...though i don't have to stat it...
but than...some how..insulting ..Muslims ..seems too easy for you...and yet..you do not get the sick and abusive reply from us...
that actually proves ....the major difference there is between us..
we respect and that is our basis of our faith..you on the other hand...would go all the way to offend others....
--------------- have you realized ....you have become so obsessed with anti Muslim /ISLAM...feeling .or call it..life.that ..each question you ask ...is meant to offend ...Muslims ...

Thank you Allah for the blessings of Islam, which have brought me much happiness in life.
