I hate that kind of talk. Why should I have to respect a religion that is very clear about what should happen to people like me ("unbeliever" or "kafir"). I don't respect ideologies that demand my death. Also you were talking about racism. Islam as a matter of fact is rascist against jews, not "respecting" a religion has nothing to do with racism. I respect you as a person Lordo, but no-one can order me to respect their religion. Sorry for being off topic but I had to say this.
don't forget the time when the Islamist Taliban bombed and destroyed the largest Buddhist statue (a religious symbol) in Afghanistan. how do you justify that? everyone's a hypocrite.
you guys are just to funny .... and with that I now understand the little green box and I will boost you all up, just because you sound like my kid brothers when they were ten and insane.
I got -5 from this thread, still dont understand the reason. It came from a senior member. Anyways, i dont really care.
Interesting You judge a belief based on the deeds of some who say they follow it? Then I should say christianity says kill other religion followers because what the christian racists did to 100,000s of muslims in Spain? Or should I say so because of what happened in the crussades? I would be narrow minded if I judge christianity based on what some of these who say they follow it do. You judge a religion or a belief by its basics, rules and instructions. Otherwise, you will finally find all religions bloody and not rational! What Al Qaida did and does has nothing to do with Islam! I don't know how this image did not reach you. We, as muslims, do not consider these murderers muslims at all. We consider them a gang or something who misunderstood Islam, for any reason, and act as they want. You will never hear a muslim saying that what Bin Laden is a good muslim. Re "Kafir": Our religion calls christians and jews "Book Holders" because they received holy books before. And we have nothing against any of them. Other religions are called "kafir"s which means they don't believe in the real God, Allah. That's because they didn't receive a holy book or believe in one. Do you know what we are asked to do with both Book Holders and Kafirs? Quran clearly says what means: "Tell others about the way of your god wisely in a nice way", "You are free to believe in what you want and I am free to believe in my religion". I don't know where you get your information about Islam or how you consider Islam to be what muslim pretenders do! A while ago, the National Geographic presented some cool series about Islam and Muhammad (peace ve upon him) that I watched. They were very objective and correct. Dunno if you can find them to learn more. And here is a link about Islam that can declare things better than my English does: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/
I have found a site that is really interesting and rich. It has the answers for misconceptions: Be Convinced It says what I wanted to say but my English didn't allow me to
"Who Is Allah ?" Man ... you've got to stop this. Does Allah believe in reputation ? Allah checks pagerank ? These are my questions to you .
You should have directed your questions to the fellows who started this by saying that they should not respect my religion and that I am a hypocrite And OK I will stop this here because it is not the place for it.
One should never disrespect the other's religion, just because his "god" has another name, or another shape. But the world is full of all the other things, that are not normal. As for myself, i trust in no god. So i am considering myself, nor judge, nor judged.
That's what I wanted to say from the beginning but your English is better than mine! All religions, including a religion (or a belief) of trusting no god, should be respected. You have the right to deny a religion (because this is personal) but you don't have the right to disrespect it (because you will not respect others' freedom of belief).
Lordo, what i meant by 'everybody's a hypocrite' is that islamist extremist claimed to stand by the religion when they're totally doing things against the religion, and christians claim they were acting in the name of God in the crusades. those 'ethnic cleansers'? they're hypocrites too. what the world needs are bridge-builders. the west who will speak for Islam and Islam who will speak for the west. anyway i'm from an moderate islamic country (although i'm not muslim). here nobody protests violently over the offending cartoons. we merely complained. we meaning all religions.
True Will... If you would look in advanced search, in the last section, you will get a repuration sort. Even that doesn't work anymore.
