Is there anything in the Qu'ran that doesn't have an equal in the Bible?

Question

and vice-versa.

I'm just wondering why everyone hates each other all of a sudden, even though the two religions have co-existed together without major incident for well over 1000 years.

Also why does there seem to be people who get religion and terrorism confused with geography and politics?

Jeancommunicates: Neither do I. However, I do not justify those 19 people their actions by retaliation. I remember that they killed my friend with their hateful action which was not directed personally at my friend. I think about how much my retaliation would be very similar to that, and I learn to forgive instead.

I lost a friend in the London bombings, which were carried out by British Muslims. I still have nothing against neither Sheffield nor Islam, as I know that terrorism is not confined to a particular place or religion. Terrorism is a completely seperate entity, and the only way to counter hate is with love.

Answer 1

Well, there are many instances where Muslims are encouraged to kill Christians and Jews, that's not in the Bible for sure. I've only read a few surahs so I couldn't tell you for sure.
Terrorism isn't justified in any way but I can understand many terrorists, which is a different thing.
I'm truly sorry about your friend

Answer 2

Yes! a great deal, for example there are obvious errors in the Quran.
The Bible says that Jesus was crucified as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, while the Quran denies it. This is the most important message of the Bible. This message of salvation is the whole reason for the Bible. Without this the Bible is stripped of its real meaning.

So the Quran destroys the main message of the Bible and renders it no better than any other book. You cannot believe in both the Bible and the Quran because they are completely incompatible.

The Bible is original and has never been altered, unlike the Qu'ran.

It was Caliph Abu Bakr (632-634A.D.) who entrusted Zayed Ibn Thabit to compile the Quran, from memories of Muhammad’s wives and a few contacts etc. who claimed to have heard Muhammad and his companions utter various verses. Zayed managed to gather an estimated 7,900 verses. But this first compilation of the Quran, had numerous contradictions, confusions, and errors, which caused many problems. So under the caliphate of Uthman (644-656 A.D.), all the distributed, handwritten copies of the Qurans were withdrawn and burnt. Zayed was again ordered for the second time, to recompile and re-edit the Quran more sensibly and convincingly from his original Quran which was kept with Hafsa (Muhammad’s widow). Zayed did the best he could in re-editing the Quran and more than 2,000 verses were abrogated (cancelled), some were replaced, and others added/borrowed to make sense of the cancellations/replacements.
Abu Al-Aswad Al Doaly put dots as syntactical marks, during the time of Mu'awiya Ibn Abi Sufian (661-680 A.D). The letters were marked with different dotting by Nasr Ibn Asem and Hayy ibn Ya'amor, during the time of Abd Al-Malek Ibn Marawan (685-705 A.D). A complete system of diacritical marks, (damma, fataha, kasra,), were newly created by Al Khaleel Ibn Ahmad Al Faraheedy (d. 786 A.D). So today the Quran stands at only 6,241 verses from its original 7,900.

Answer 3

There have been incidents between the two faiths before - see the Crusades for an example.

It's usually the result of:
-One group wanting to take land/resources/etc. from the other,
-One group misunderstanding the other due to falsehoods, stereotypes, etc. (as we see from people not knowing what's actually in the Quran),
or
-A few narrow-minded jerks trying to justify being bigots.

This happens on both sides, unfortunately; some people will hate others over any little difference, apparently.

Answer 4

The answer to your first question. Yes. The quran actually teaches that the Jews are subhuman and should be Killed. the New Testament does not.

The Second Portion. As A Catholic I can See the value of all religions coexisting peacefully in the united States. Unfortunately the Power hungry make war & call it Jihad and make it impossible for all of us.

The third Portion of you question.

"Religion and Terrorism geography and politics."

It really isn't that confusing.

You fight the fight your enemy has declared on you. Any effort
otherwise is delusional.

Example: The big bully at school scares you and demands your lunch money. You want this to end so despite your fears and doubt you tell him to meet you at 3pm to settle it.

Now, you can tell yourself your fighting him to get your lunch money back but you're really fighting him so he will stop terrorizing you which is the thing he really feeds on.

Answer 5

i'm muslim and that i completely agree. the different element i think of is undesirable is instructors or instructions that have scholars repeat the Shahada, or the testomony of Islamic faith. As a muslim, that's not a game or a exciting cultural test to assert those words. that's a assertion of religion in Islam. To make it classwork makes it frivelous. i think of faculties could practice with reference to the lifestyle of Islam, which of course may well be in accordance with some verses of the Qur'an, yet scholars shouldn't learn they could examine the Qur'an for homework sake. they could do it of their own volition.

Answer 6

Well, I don't know where you learned your history. Islam has never coexisted peacefully with any other religion for any significant time in history. 80 Million Hindus lost their lives rather than convert to Islam throughout history, in what amaounts to the greatest holocaust the world has ever seen.

I wish I had access to my reference materials here. Books have been written about the discrepancies between Islamic scripture and Judeo-Christian Scripture. It's quite an embarassment for Muslims, since Muhammad told them to accept the Torah and the gospel, and then directly contradicted it in virtually everything he said or did. The Muslim scholars have had to invent a whole fiction that the Judeo-Christian scripture was somehow altered to make it different from the Quran.

Answer 7

Sadly, both books have been taken out of context and twisted to serve the needs of meglomaniacs.

Answer 8

There has been always hatred And good relationships between the two religions, because there has been always prejudice, selfishness, fanatism and politics...along with openess, friendship and positive things.

And it always will be like this. Because this who the world and humanity is.

Answer 9

I don't take lightly 19 Islamic Muslims of the Qu'ran killing 3,000 American citizens. I don't take lightly the bombing of our ship the USS Cole and our American Embassies.

And I certainly don't like Ahmadinejad's words about Israel and America. He must be dealt with NOW.

The pitiful speech of the twisted, evil, liar of a person called Osama bin Laden saying he caused 9/11 and to not punish the Afghanistan people. The Afghanistan Taliban and their followers of even today, still hide and protect this killer of Americans. America is not punishing the Afghans, just the rebels that follow bin Laden and all that harbor and protect these killers. These evil men hide behind civilians like cowards. They put women and children in front of themselves and this is the worst of cowards and scum. The Taliban and bin Laden have no respect for human life. They are constantly at war with their own people. Allah is not God.
The God of the Holy Bible teaches us to love each other and be concerned about each other. For a man to love his wife, not beat her or whip her or shoot her in the head with a gun. The God of the Holy Bible teaches that a man and a woman when they marry become one flesh. Jesus tells us not to provoke our children to anger. The Qu'ran's children have guns strapped on them and they are taught to hate the Jews and the Christians and to call them Infidels.

Maybe there were not any Muslims in the USA to amount to anything 40 years ago.

Answer 10

There have been "major incidents" before. Perhaps you may have heard of the Crusades?
