Now first let me clarify your concepts about the 70 virgins which people talk about whenever they have nothing to say to support their answers/reasons.Actually Most of them say it bcoz they have been misguided about it. Allah(name of God in Muslims) promises Muslims some gifts for good deeds as well as some punishments for the bad ones and I hope in the Holy Bible too, He promises some gifts as well as some punishments. Now note it that GOD HAS FORBIDDEN US TO KILL OURSELVES IN THE HOLY QUR'AN. yes buddies. it's the truth. when something is haraam, it is a "never forgivable sin" to do it and suicide is called HARAAM by GOD in the Holy book of Muslims. yes killing yourself is haraam in islam It's written clearly in the Holy Qur'an and the Muslims believe it. Those, who die through suicide will directly go to HELL as they have done a strictly forbidden sin. a haraam sin. Well , now the question comes into our minds that "then why is it said and being told that Muslims believe that suicidal death is a direct path to heavens and even people tell that Muslims believe that they shall get 70 virgins for it?"
Well. it is being said because,
in the Holy Qur'an , Allah promises Muslims that those who die in the name of God for the sake of humanity and for the truth and rights, they shall be rewarded. Now among those rewards, God has promised that they shall be rewarded with 70 virgins of the Heaven. God also promises in the Qur'an the reward to good men(those who did nice deeds here) of their wives as virgins in the Heavens. e.g if I you are married man and go to Heavens, your wife will be there for you as a virgin.
Now you see that the 70 virgins were promised to be rewarded to those who die in the name of God for the sake of truth and humanity AND THOSE WHO DIE THROUGH SUICIDE WILL DIRECTLY GO TO HELL!. but it was preached and spread amongst you people that these Muslims think that they shall be rewarded with 70 virgins for killing themselves as they think they are doing so for the truth. it was spread amongst you to make you hate Muslims and think that they are fallacious and totally on the wrong side and hence, gain your approval and sympathy for the Iraq and Afghanistan war. And plzz plzz don't think that whatever you are being told is 100% true until you go through the facts and figures yourselves. Whatever I have said is clearly written in the Holy book of Muslims, the Quran. And you can check that that I have said the truth about it.

.It seems that most people can bend the word of God to suit there own need. Muslims,Christians, Jews and all the rest. I just hope some day we will bend them toward love and not hate.

This is all well and good but why are we not seeing more Imams and Ayatollahs preaching this instead of supporting the suicide bombers and their deeds? Also, why would a married man need to be reunited in Heaven with his wife being a virgin? What's puzzling is why a spirit needs a virgin in the first place! What Islam seems to preach is that men are good and women are his servants. That may be fine in an Arab land, but it won't wash here in the United States where each citizen is equal under the Constitution regardless of genitalia.

Thank you for that explanation. I agree that all Muslims I have met have been extremely peaceful and loving. Isn't it true that the Arabic language has about 21 different words for our English word "love"?

Someone said that your explanation doesn't say "why" there are terrorists, "why" some Muslims would kill, commit suicide, etc. Well, Christianity doesn't "explain" why some Christians commit suicide, kill gays, blow up abortion clinics, shoot up Amish children, etc. etc. There are sick people in all--repeat ALL religions--and some of those sick people will use their religion as an "excuse" for their deplorable acts. That does NOT mean that the religion "taught" that; it does not mean that their religion condones that!

What we need in the world right now is a very strong Muslim leader who teaches the way of PEACE and condemns the actions of Osama bin Laden and all of his ilk. Where is this new Mohammed????

It is true. Also:

"In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam."

There are one billion Muslims in the world and the great majority of them are peaceful.

People always seem to pull out a few surahs as "proof" that Islam is violent, meanwhile neglecting that the Old Testament is full of similar violence.

Most Muslims mean no harm to anyone and I wish no harm against them.

Heretics and cultism run rampant within the places of the Muslim deficient. The U.S. had the Manson Family, Jim Jones and the KKK motion all of which twisted faith for his or her acquire. The Catholic Church has excommunication to manage that challenge, however they failled to make use of it even if they knew clergymen have been sexually abusing the flock for a long time. The Muslims do not particularly have any method to manage it besides combating. The Iraqis and the U.S. just lately took out one such navy cult in Iraq by means of drive. Since there may be tons of places which might be wherein persons have and feature no longer, they might as an alternative be the haves and the one approach they recognise to be haves is to visit battle with their neighbor. They of direction use faith to advertise their combat although they must create, twist or do away with textual content. It received to the factor wherein the prisoners in Gitmo have been passed Korans, they ripped them up and flushed them down the toliets seeing that they although they weren't Korans. Even if three% (the percent which might be prisoners within the U.S.) of the Muslim populace have been violent heritics, that might nonetheless be 30 million violent persons jogging round.

Thank you. You are a very serious and passionate person. So, how about taking some of your passion and directing it towards those Muslims who are intent on killing to change their thinking? How about the American Muslim community becoming more outsoken against Muslim violence? Actually do something constructive to stop the violence and show you are sincere.

What we also need in the world right now is a very strong Christian leader who teaches the way of PEACE.

Why don't the GOOD Muslims take control of the bad ones?

2007-05-31 22:07:57 · answer #8 · answered by Anonymous · 2 1

actually, the true translation does not mean 70 virgins, but actually a special type of rare white (virgin) grape. it would be pretty stupid to kill yourself for seventy grapes, huh.

Fine. But that doesn't logically explain suicide bombers, does it? Or how they find truth and humanity in killing fellow Muslims.

Why the thumbs down? I would understand this argument perfectly if the majority of the attacks were directed against Americans. What I don't understand is why Sunnis are killing Shiites and Shiites are killing Sunnis. No more thumbs down if you can't explain this, please.
