Yes, there are riots and wars but its never the true picture of Islam. What my muslim brothers were practicing is quite different from the real teaching. Islam was never spread with violence. As a muslim, one ought to have utmost regard for other persons religion and thats why we regard Jesus Christ(peace be on him) with high esteem. No religion preaches violent. Jesus Christ(peace be on him) never instructed Hitler to kill jews, so also, Moses(peace be on him) never instructed the Jews to maltreat Jesus{as}. Its just the animal in human being that manifest itself as a religion.Also check alislam.org
The middle east sees lots of protest, people saying there are tired of Islam but the country enforces it on them and that is the issue. The idea of forcing people against their wish. A young moslem might be a good person but the more he grows in Islam the evil he becomes, the more he wants to eliminate everthing non-Islam probably because some secrets are revealed to him I guess.
Look at what happened at Jos; have you seen where christians come out and start killing? Its moslems, Mutallab? Moslem; World trade centre? moslem; the Lagos explosion was probably moslem too.
The religion has a big problem, dont forget that Mohamed himself fought and killed people; Jesus did not, this is enough to help you pick a religion.
If terrorism was a religion, you bet it would islam and a ten year old can prove this.
Its funny that an educated person can believe this article you just presented. I'm a muslim and a proud one. I have never been told to kill any 'infidel' or non muslims. No where in the holy Quran does it mention the unjust killing of innocent non muslims. This is an unfair lie and unjust potrayal of islam.
All you need to know the truth is to google the author and his antecedence. Mr Mathes has been on a 'crusade' against Islam since 9/11. He will stop at nothing to rubbish this beautiful religion. Perhaps he should explain why Islam is growing so fast!
Ahmed, perhaps you were prepared for this argument. i only mention what my teacher taught me. He never mention which vers or chapter of the Quran. I know you know the truth and you are tactically shying away from the truth.You did mentioned how christianity began with the Apostles and not with Christ. The people at Antioch said the apostles were behaving like Christ.(christ like). That is to say sombody is being emulated and that person is Christ.Whoever is being emulated is the originator of that which is emulated by others. No two was about that.
Shuaib Badmus said:Peace be upon you. This is the greeting of Islam that no other religion has a match. To your article, you can not appreciate how peaceful the religion called Islam is unless you know its precepts from the Holy Qur'an and the practice of the prophet Muhammed (PBUH). Even in times of war, the Holy Qur'an says muslim soldiers should not touch women, children, animals and places of worship of whatever religion.They should only face the army that confronted them in war. How can this same religion command its adherents to kill ''infidels'' in order to attain paradise! Islam teaches peace right from how you can be at peace with your own self, then with your fellow human beings, with other creatures of God that are not human.....to how nations can be at peace with one another, and how the whole world can be at peace. Peace is a very important issue in Islam that it teaches how we can achieve peace economically, politically, socially and in all areas of human endeavours. All these are comprehensively practised by the prophet of Islam (PBUH) as revealed to him by God. Find these two books....''Murder in the name of Allah'' and ''Islam's response to contemporary issues''. I know you will be more informed after reading them. Then you can judge whether Islam is a religion of peace or not.
Dear sis! If this is so, how then can you explain what is happening in your religious domain all over the world and more importantly, in your country? Lets stop fooling ourselves! Lets make a change now and order fellow muslims to do the same all over the world instead of trying to defend this barbaric actions by our muslim folks world wide.
Religion,,Religion,,Religion!!!! You asked when Jesus Said He was God,Who Was Overseeing the Affairs of the Universe When Jesus Died?...Logical question?Muhammad Martins.. The Personality Of Jesus Christ Is still the mysterious Ever in existence... Why this Mystery you would ask? Why this Controversy Also.. It is Because there is something about him.Something beyond the Human reasoning..That is why the true christian who understands the purpose of Christ's Ministry on earth will not go on praeching Peace,Kindness,Goodness.Instead he will Preach Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ came not to make Peace,Not to convert people to his cause or his Belief,but instaed he came to save man.The saving of man's soul was most important to him.That is why True Christian Faith Is Alll About Salvation and not Conversion..It is not about the number of people who say i am a chistian..But about the number of people who are saved...The christian Faith is not about numbers,or how fast it is growing.
When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden something happened to their relationship with God.They were separated from not God...This distance was severed as time went by wtih the existence of Man..And from then on God had a plan to save man.Man could not have saved himself from eternal damnation by being good or peaceful to his neighbour.. The separation caused the death of man both phisically and spiritually.
Now,There is a plan for God For the Salvation of Man-This is the death Jesus Christ..Yes you would ask how can the death of one man save the world..My answer is this. How can the sin of one man cause death and problem to the world..The Almighty God Was in christ Jesus redeeming the World.That means God had to be a man to save the world.Its funny how Humans Respect The Almighty and limit his power to do anything. Can God not be Man?
Who was overseeing the affairs of the Universe?.. funny question..God has already created the universe and all the laws that hold it.The Bible said he created all things good.....The death of christ does not signify total death.That Part of Man which is the real Man i.e The Spirit,was still alive.That Spirit has to be sinless to be able to confront the devil with every right to get back dominion and power which the devil took from Adam..It was only Jesus Christ that had The Free and Sinless Spirit to confront the devil..That is the reason why Jesus had to be conceived in the womb the way he was.Not by the union of Man and Woman, But by the Power of the Most High God.For every man or woman born by the union of man and woman must Have that same sin Adam and Eve had.Therfore they will still be under the dominion of the devil.
God Had To come in the Person of Jesus Christ In A sinless spirit to confront the devil and win for man the Dominion And power The devil took from Adam..Just as the isrealites killed rams and lambs for offerin the forgiveness of sin,so also christ was offered as a sacrificial lamb for the everlasting forgiveness of sin,for the blood of ram and lamb could not cleanse man totally from sin.
The belief of Christians is in the sequential and procedural plan and arrangement of the death and resurrection of christ for the Total Salvation Of man..Christians Therefore are not suppose to Convert But Instead Save.. There Is more To Christianity Than Peace And alms giving,. Kindness and Goodness...We are looking beyond the now and looking to the After Life.
MY fellow Muslim Friends If there is a fall there will always be a rise.If there is a death there will always be life.If there is evil there must surely be good..There is Imprisonment there will surely be Freedom.If there is condemnation there is salvation...You can't save yourself by being good,by being peaceful,by being nice,by giving alms,by going to Mecca,or by facing the East to pray..You can be Saved By Believin in The salvation Plan Of God For Man.It is only God That Can save you..You can,t try to save yourself,Moses,Abraham,David etc,tried and they Knew that the salvation of man Is Coming to them someday..In the Person of Jesus christ...He is coming again..Beleive in him..
THIS WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT.. JESUS IS LORD OF all... it is him we preach,not peace.. He is the King of Kings And The Lord OF Lords..He is Peace personified..In fact He is Peace..Why Preach Peace When You Have Never Seen or experiencend Total peace. .Peace is Never Going to exist On earth because no human has the formula to making peace...The mind and nature of man is in toatl unrest with the every day life he is living.He who has no peace In himself. how can he offer peace.
I know a man who said "come to me all you who are laboured and are over burdend and i will give you rest with PEACE and love... He did not just preach a message of peace,Love and happiness Like all other prophets.He also preached himself as the way to having this peace.He was the centre of his message...All others speculated on probable solutions,but never dared to offer themselves as the solution..
JESUS SAID"I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE"..he never said HE OR HIS MESSAGE was ONE OF THE WAYS,ONE OF THE TRUTH,OR ONE OF THE LIVES,,,,
I beleive in him because of his message,Becuase of his outright and bold statement about himslf,becuse of his death, because man needed to be set free and saved,because of the controversy and mystery surrounding his life,death and resurrection...There is so much to say about this person Called Jesus Christ..I love Him So much, He saved me you know.Hr redeemed me...and you know what he loved me first..The bible say.. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELEIVES IN HiM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.. My Muslim Brothers beleiving in Jesus is what will give you everlasting life,,Nothing else will
HELLO, SEES U WANT US TO GET DEEP AND DIG S**** OUT OF UR ISLAM LET START BUTS FIRST COULD U READ THIS EXCERP.The best explanation I have found is in the Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties by Gleason L. Archer. An excerpt from his discussion is as follows:
. . . In the original Greek, however, there is no real contradiction between these two statements. Greek makes a distinction between hearing a sound as a noise (in which case the verb "to hear" takes the genitive case) and hearing a voice as a thought-conveying message (in which case it takes the accusative). Therefore, as we put the two statements together, we find that Paul's companions heard the Voice as a sound (somewhat like the crowd who heard the sound of the Father talking to the Son in John 12:28, but perceived it only as thunder); but they did not (like Paul) hear the message that it articulated. Paul alone heard it inteligibly (Acts 9:4 says Paul ekousen phonen--accusative case); though he, of course, perceived it also as a startling sound at first (Acts 22:7: "I fell to the ground and heard a voice [ekousa phones] saying to me," NASB). But in neither account is it stated that his companions ever heard that Voice in the accusative case.
-- Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties, by Gleason L. Archer, p. 382.
Archer goes on to cite sources indicating that this distinction does indeed exist in the Greek language. u can read for more clarification...p.t.o
AHMED said:DEAR AYOKA
YOU SAID PAUL EMULATED JESUS THIS IS A LIE.
First Jesus mentioned who to sustain him in his ministry hence the reason why he said " peter you are the rock upon whom i shall build my ministry." mATHEW 16:18 peter not paul ( point one )
Paul never emulated jesus because Jesus was straight forward and non-controversial man.... lets check how he said he met Jesus in ACT OF APOSTLE he said he was overwhelm by "holy spirit" those that accompanied him on the journey heard the voice but they do not see the light ( ACTS 22:6 ),.... This same man in the same act of apostle said those that accompanied him saw the light but they do not hear the voice ( ACTS 9:7 ), My sister which do we believe ( point two )
if the account of how he met Jesus or overwhelm by holy spirit is this contradictory, then anything that come after it cannot psss the test of scruitiny.
THE JESUS YOU THINK YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW HIM NOT !
