there are some nonmuslims who seem to have read quraan and hadith all by themselves, without the help of any scholar, and seemed to have understood it so well that they are now picking out lines apparently speaking of killing nonmuslims and teaching us muslims, how violent our holy book is. Is this fair? for example in quraan in ch4, there is this instruction given where ALLAH has asked us not to offer prayers if one is drunk. now anybody who reads this line without it's context details and hadith will conclude that one can drink when one is not praying, which is not the case. how can something as sacred and complicated as a holy book be read without it's context and claimed to have been understood in it's actual sense?

I am a non-muslim and I have read the 'Holy Koran' without Hadith or a scholar. I find the Koran to be a divine revelation to Mohammad indeed. I have understood it wisely in its actual sense and have found truth in it. 'The Holy Koran' is probably the only scripture that ordains mankind to establish a social system based upon equality, justice and righteousness. I strongly believe that if such a social system can be created in the world the humanity can prosper and develop. Islam means 'Universal' and if all the nations of the world can adhere to 'Islam' the world will become a better place to live in and the day of humanity's doom (qiamat) can be deferred. This is what I have understood of Islam.

An educated person goes for detailed study, but that does not mean they can't do a self-study...
What you are accusing some nonmuslims of, I have read many comments from Muslims on YA doing exactly the same thing-- picking verses from the Bible out of context. Is that fair?
I don't think it's fair either way, but I also don't think it's fair to only point out the offense on one side.
So I suppose there are plenty of accusations to go around, hmm?

Yes, it's all a matter of faith and interpretation! All religious texts, almost without exception, are wonderful pieces of writing and presentation, and, are susceptible to interpretations, too! The context is important, as you have pointed out: and, a clear view without bias, with a lot of respect all around, is very important, too! Good education should provide a mature understanding of the context and a clear view!

i replaced into questioning approximately this the different day. i'm a guy or woman who can offend a lot of human beings, without even attempting. i'm very sarcastic, and prefer to play around with human beings at here who ask stupid questions. I do take exhilaration in offending others. no longer is R&S, yet in different matters. i'd desire to artwork on that. as quickly as I answer questions approximately R&S nonetheless, I constantly placed up a scripture, so as that human beings understand the advice isn't from me. it is from the bible. i found that answering questions here as helped me navigate Watchtower Library greater suitable. thank you for helping me analyze myself. there have been some question you asked that I had no longer theory-approximately earlier.

Some things are as easy to understand and others not like in my text: Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and ***** mongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

I don't think it is about education. I think it is about the development of thier humanity. People will do as they want in thier heart. If they want to condemn, be judgemental, or greedy and self-serving... they will....and do whatever it takes to accomplish it. It will be in the name of education...or God.....or country....or whatever, to make it sound as if it was a truth beyond themselves and thier own desires. Ultimately it takes love for others as ourselves to see our differences, and yet respect it as equal to our own . That is the common theme of all religions basically. That in itself should speak to everybody's heart.

Actually you Moslems have been teaching us pretty well, just what your religion stands for. Do the numbers 9 and 11 ring a bell?
What you Moslems DO speaks SO LOUDLY we can't hear what you SAY:
