Is a religion without love...a religion at all?

Question

Dont you love the power for search engines? Heres a Quran search engine, type the word "love" and see if you can find anything that tells you to love...well...anyone for any reason! http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/searchquran.html

Think about that...we all know about the immense amount of violence in the Quran, written in the PRESENT TENSE without STORY LANGUAGE that makes one believe it was meant for a past time and not today, but now you can see why they are what they are...why almost all war today is Islamic....why Muslims have always been at war.

Is it a coincidence that almost all armed conflict today is Islamic and the Quran is all about armed conflict? Is it a coincidence that Muslims are the upitome of hatred and the Quran spews hatred and no doctrine of human love?

Answer 1

Is a religion without love...a religion at all?

Nope-------------it STINKS
(Kinda like burned PORK)

Answer 2

Would that have matter anyways for you? You are full of hatred even though you have come across love filled books.

Most conflicts are Muslims? The biggest massacres in history have all been committed by non-Muslims such as World Wars, Vietnam War, Fake Iraq war, Crusades etc.

Answer 3

You really seem full of anger. Chances are, you have no real reason to hate Islamic people.

Your argument is not accurate. Islam relies upon the Quran, but it is hardly the only peice of religious literature produced by this incredible religion of many different cultures.

Read Rumi, man -- he is all about love. We will not change the world by hating people. We will change the world by loving them. John Lennon said it, Give love a chance, dude.

Answer 4

I have never found any religion with a speck of love, They have all been nay-saying, judgemental, hate mongering groups getting tax breaks for violating every rule of their "Gods" and "Bibles". I know everyone says - wait, my religion is really not like that, but then when I look, yes they are. I wish for once in my life a church would be forced to practice what the preacher preaches.

Answer 5

If I answer this it would mean I would be just as bad as everyone else and stand in judgment of what these people believe you have raised a valid point, but I do not want to judge them all I can say is if you believe in God and you pray, pray for them as well as me that we gain knowledge and understanding.

Answer 6

Is anyone capable of love who doesn't love the one from whom love comes?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Answer 7

Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said.
Man, it sounds to me just like you're preaching for the walking dead.

Answer 8

You haven't seen it yourself I guess.

"It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing." 2:177

"By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend (benevolently) out of what you love; and whatever thing you spend, Allah surely knows it." 3:92

"It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."" 7:189

"And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect." 30:21

"And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns to Allah's command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those who act equitably." 49:9

"And those who made their abode in the city and in the faith before them love those who have fled to them, and do not find in their hearts a need of what they are given, and prefer (them) before themselves though poverty may afflict them, and whoever is preserved from the miserliness of his soul, these it is that are the successful ones." 59:9

"t may be that Allah will ordain love between you and those of them with whom ye are at enmity. Allah is Mighty, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." 60:7

"And they give food out of love for Him to the poor and the orphan and the captive" 76:8
