Why is it that muslims as soon as you criticise their religion say you are going to hell! Was this not the ploy the Christian church used in the Middle ages to keep the populace in line?
Wake up muslims we are in the 21 st century......takes more than hellfire and damnation to worry us in the West.....try reasoned argument.

You are talking to the wrong Muslims. Most people i know enjoy a good debate. Reasoning with each other can only make you more stronger in what you believe in.

It all depends on what you define hell as, I think that what we have in some parts of the middle-east at the moment is perhaps a very good description of hell - on - earth?
By the way the concept of Hell, is a Babylonian Idea, that the Jews nicked during the Babylonian exile, and many of the terms refer to Christian, not Islamic idea's.
Saturn, the planet is the source of the name Satan, it was to refer to Romans and Greeks who still worshipped the old golds, not 'Old Nick' himself.
Religion is to subjective to undertake any serious scrutiny by any body with half a Brain. Simply believe what you wish, and respect others to do the same, as long as their 'silly' or 'mad' ideas do not en-crouch on your life-style, or yours onto theirs.
If you refer to muslims by the rather crude title of 'mustafa' then I assume that your critisim was not the most elloquently phrased, or intelligent question in the first place!

I have heard christian preach those exact lyrics "Repent or face hellfire and damnation " the guy is probably still outside Stratford Station (LONDON).
Who is Mustafa?
People can be critical about religion / race / weight / accent anything.
Yes - We live in the 21st Century.
lets all live together and not offend other people please!
If your grown up you will know that lyric of "sticks and stones"
(are you racist or something!)

Man... I've really got you fired up.... no pun intended.
But you're not going to hell according to me... you're going to hell according to you! by the way, calling our holy book toilet paper is not criticism, it is insulting and words of war.... so get ready to get toasty down there. I'm not planning on going there, God willing.
I'm sorry that hellfire doesn't worry you. after you die, the West will no longer exist for you. all that will matter is where your soul goes. After you die, there is nothing but you and eternity. so if you want reason... you can make up all the reasons you want... I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you to change. I'm just telling you that based on who you are now, based on your attitude and views on life and the world, you're going to hell.

Well please do not generalize, if some freak is saying that you going to hell because of a critique, it seems that people like you (asker) is a fan with fox news and the idiots in clear channel, you second comment if it reflect anything , it reflect your ignorance about other cultures and religion, you need to wake up and smile the coffee.

Unless you think Mustafa is God incarnate, I wouldn't worry too much about his threats of hell.
Same goes for anyone else who threatens you with hell, including Christians (like me, for instance).
Only God has the wisdom to decide whether or not to destroy anyone's spirit in hell. We may think what we like, but, at the end of the day, God is in charge.

Its not for us to decide who is going where (hell/heaven). We need to strive to better our selves and hope we have done enough to enter the gates of paradise. God will be the judge.
Just because you pray five times a day doesn't make you a good Muslim. It's got a lot to do with intention, sincerity, humbleness and to please god.

Hell just means "the grave" so all who die go there.
Not all religious people believe in hellfire.

I want to know where all the virgins come from when you go to heaven. Does God keep them all in a box somewhere.
