hey,
im a muslim from pakistan.
i have seen that many people in this world have confusion about Islam and have misjudged it. If any of you have any confusion, query or you just to know somthing... ask it away here.... im sure me or any other muslim on this forum will love to answer the question...
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS OF PEOPLE UNLESS YOU ARE 100% CONFIRMED ABOUT IT WITH QURANIC PROOF. TO ANSWER EACH QUESTION PLEASE INCLUDE A QURANIC VERSE. DO NOT WRITE SOMTHING WRONG OR DO NOT WRITE THE VERSES WRONG AS IT WILL BE DISRESPECTFUL FOR THE RELIGION ISLAM...
THANK YOU
I have questions.
I'll start with a couple of simple ones...
Should Muslim women have equal rights with men (for example, in inheritance shares or court testimony)?
Is jihad, meaning a form of warfare, acceptable in today's world?
Do you accept the validity of other religions?
Do Muslims have anything to learn from the West?
Do you condone or condemn the Palestinians, Chechens, and Kashmiris who give up their lives to kill enemy civilians?
Will you condemn by name as terrorist groups such organizations as Abu Sayyaf, Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, Groupe Islamique Armée, Hamas, Harakat ul-Mujahidin, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, and al-Qaida?
Should non-Muslims enjoy completely equal civil rights with Muslims?
May Muslims convert to other religions?
May Muslim women marry non-Muslim men?
Do you accept the laws of a majority non-Muslim government and unreservedly pledge allegiance to that government?
Should the state impose religious observance, such as banning food service during Ramadan?
When Islamic customs conflict with secular laws (e.g., covering the face for drivers' license pictures), which should give way?
Do you accept enhanced security measures to fight militant Islam, even if this means extra scrutiny of yourself (for example, at airline security)?
Do you agree that institutions accused of funding terrorism should be shut down, or do you see this a symptom of bias?
Now for the money shot...
Do you accept that Western countries are majority-Christian and secular or do you seek to transform them into majority-Muslim countries ruled by Islamic law?
WOW those are a hell lot of questions....... ill try to answer as many as i can........
first of all if i answer anythin incorrectly PLEASE GOD FORGIVE ME..

im not really sure of this... but i know that wen some property is passed on to the hiers by the parents.... men get double the part then that of a women.... but still Islam stresses on the point that both men and women are equal.. so it means that both have equal rigths..
| Quote: |
| Is jihad, meaning a form of warfare, acceptable in today's world? |
jihad is basically to figth in the way of Allah (God). jihad can be made if some1 is actually trying to finish Islam or is battling against Islam. in a situation llike this jihad is necessary to be made for Muslims..
| Quote: |
| Do you accept the validity of other religions? |
yes Islam is a religion that has respect for all other religions. like Islam other religions like Christianity, (religions with Holy Books), are religions of Allah and Mulsims are asked to respect these religions too.
| Quote: |
| Do Muslims have anything to learn from the West? |
yes.. being a Muslim i personally learn from the west that how misguided many of the people are ...no offense...
| Quote: |
| Do you condone or condemn the Palestinians, Chechens, and Kashmiris who give up their lives to kill enemy civilians? |
i dont get you point here.... plz elaborate..

i dont get this one either....

no.....
| Quote: |
| Do you accept the laws of a majority non-Muslim government and unreservedly pledge allegiance to that government? |
yes if the country and the government are non-muslims..... for as long as the laws are not against our religion... in that case we should refrain from act that can get us into situaions of those laws..
| Quote: |
| Should the state impose religious observance, such as banning food service during Ramadan? |
yes....
| Quote: |

if your talkin about women's driver liscence picture, then the face can be uncovered... as in Islam the only parts that a women can keep un covered are the face and hands.... but the hair and all other body parts are to be hidden..
| Quote: |
| Do you accept enhanced security measures to fight militant Islam, even if this means extra scrutiny of yourself (for example, at airline security)? |
yes......
| Quote: |
| Do you agree that institutions accused of funding terrorism should be shut down, or do you see this a symptom of bias? |
im not approaching this question Islamically..... but if the institutoins are confirmed of funding terrorism... then i think they first need to be question on why are they doing this.... and how can they stop this by talks....... but if the terrorist have no reason to cause chaos in the country... then they should be shut down......This is what i think....
Now for the money shot...

no one can force Islam on anyone else....... Even in the Quran Allah says that there is no compulsion in religion.... Islam cannot be spread by acting as superior or by thretening.... Allah guides the ones He wants too..
hope that satisfies you.......once again GOD please forgive me if i was wrong somewhere.....[/quote] | salman_500 wrote: |

im not sure of this..... but Allah refers these people as the peoples of the Book meaning that they were also blessed with a Prophet and a Holy Book.... but these people have changed what the True Bibla really said... that is why The Holy Quran was revealed... aslo christain believe Jesus to be the son of God...(Forgive me God)... but Allah is alone... this is the 3rd last surah of the Holy Quran and it clearly states:
Surah 112. The Unity, Sincerity, Oneness Of Allah
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
now see the 3rd verse... it clearly says that niether he has a son ... nor is he the son of somone.. | salman_500 wrote: |

Allah guides the ones he choses and He does not choose from disbelievers.......

A common practice in Muslim countries where by girls are killed by their families, especially if they choose a man who is of another Muslim sect or a non-Muslim, but even if they just get kidnapped in Iraq. If an Iraqi girl is kidnapped her family will kill her just in case the kidnappers raped her.

Which would mean nothing to someone who is sincerely converted to another religion. You act as though all disbelief in the Qur’an is the same as atheism or worse, a view which the Qur’an encourages.
When I asked about a penalty I was referring to law. The reason why someone would be crazy to announce that they had converted to another religion is that the penalty is death.

You did not address my question here. I asked about the motivations that the Qur’an attributes to Christians and Jews, not about how you disagree with intellectual concepts. Motivations are attributes like honesty, conniving, sincere, deceptive, envious, friendly, or selfish. I asked how the Qur’an describes the character of most Christians and Jews.I am watching this thread extremely carefully. Any problems and I will not hesitate to lock it without thought.
It seems salman_500 that you opened this thread for a good reason, to shed light on the ignorance that surrounds differencing believes. However, some members, for example S3nd K3ys, will always come to the conclusion that if they know nothing about something then it is a thread. I suggest S3nd K3ys that a) you go to anger managment meetings to cope with the deep physiological opinions that have been forced into you or b)the easiest method, go out and experience different religions, meet muslim people, talk to muslim families. Only then will you realise that your first post was totally, and utterly, uncalled for.
Salman_500 - you mentioned in another thread that people should be judged by what they do, rather than what they believe. Do you have any references for this in the Qu'ran? This sounds good to me as a relative atheist who tries to make life better for others (we spend about 20% of our time doing work for various charitable organisations, for example).
Also, how does this square with the idea that people will go to hell for rejecting the faith? Is that just rejection of the belief part, or is that also the rejection of the practical good that should follow from a true believer? What if somebody goes on to do great good in the world, but still loses their mental faith?
... and please excuse any anti-Muslim bigotry you might get here. Some people just don't know any better.

im sooryto say... but nothin like honor killings happen in our society.... this used to happen before the time of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) which the Quran describes as "Age Of Ignorance" but after the revealing of Islam this act was relidiously stopped and is no longer practiced in todays world... atleast on in the major Islamic countries such as saudi arabia, pakistan, turkey etc...

look as i said before...."There is no compulsion in religion".. Quranic Verse.... so it is not man or the government that will punish that person.... Allah has given man the power to decide between right and wrong and if the person fails to do so corectly hes is in trouble himself not anyone else... he will be asked of it by Allah on the Day of Resurrection... evry one will be accountable for his own deeds..... and will be rewarded or punished accordingly..

look first of all im not the one who judges people whether they will go to Heaven or Hell... it is Allah and Allah alone.......and if your family does spend their time for others that is really good because in Quran it is written that the rights of people come before the rights of Allah... but dont take this in the sense tht you go on sayin that Muslim are terrorist and you totally try to de-grade them by call Islam a fake, on the other hand you spend 20% of your time helping others and say that im doing good so il end up in Heaven...noooo... your faith and your doings should be balanced..... the Quran says that a person with even the smallest amount of belief and respect in God, might not end up in Hell.... Because punishment or reward is judged by the deeds a person does in this world...According to the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) this world is a cultivating ground for the Hereafter..... i'll give you quranic reference in a few minutes..... i cant say that your relatives are good or bad... because niether me nor you knows that what Allah liked or disliked about them..
and if you totally reject faith in Allah, His Prophet (P.B.U.H) and the Hoy Quran then noone knows what mite happen...
If you relatives are planning to convert to a religion... then plz tell them to have a look over Islam....
