Here is where you will find a permanent home for the cartoons that will grow with time so keep checking :) Here’s a good one to get you started. [...]

    Seems very one-sided. There hasn’t been quite enough insanity on the moslem side to justify all of this, has there? In Cagle’s collection, the pope takes a few hits.

    I am waiting for Western cartoonists to draw some cartoons that show the people who have suffered, been killed or have had there homes and country destroyed due to Western military intervention.
    While the Western countries preach deomcracy and human rights, they go around toppling regimes and supporting brutal dictatorships who do there bidding.

    Western countries lament of the violence in Africa and other regions, but then sell weapons to boths sides of a conflict. THey make a big deal about the aid they give to Africa. BUt don’t bring up that they extract the natural resources of African countries and exploit slave labor without giving the African peoeple their fair share.

    randall, do you actually look for those cartoons? because if you actually read the newspapers or looked for them online you would find A LOT of cartoons that bring up the exact subjects you mention. As far as whats happening in Africa(it’s been happening a LONG time), eventhough the us government isn’t doing much, there are MANY charities that are US-based that are trying to make a difference. If you wanna help id recommend donating your time and/or money to those causes.

    hello again , Iam polite so Iam not gonna get into that offending that you shout me with it.
    but for those atheist , even scientists reach that there is A creater who create the small unit of every thing what they call (atom)
    and you think (there is no god), so if you think that your father create you so who create the first man? there is no drawing without a artist.
    for chemical eng. they think everything was create by reaction of the materials, and they know that there`s a creater for the materials.
    I think just looking to the skies and the grounds enough to get there`s a god
    (and I write skies and grounds as they refill in the holybook that there`s more the one layer of the ground and of the sky “mentioned before 1400 yr”)

    And for the one who asked me about surat al_an`am verse 125 what does it mean?
    it`s also matter of science , every time you go above the ground the presure increases making the lungs of the human narrow and constricted

    Hello TRUTH,

    I honestly didn’t expect you to respond! Thanks for taking the time to read my response. Actually, I’m one of the few theists here. The statements that you give to demonstrate the existence of God are classical ones:

    “your father create you so who create the first man” - This is a version of the Cosmological Argument. It is a proof for God’s existence that has a grand history within the Islamic tradition. I happen to accept this one; it is why I believe in God. But this only proved God’s existence. It does not prove that the Qu’ran is correct.

    “I think just looking to the skies and the grounds enough to get there`s a god” - This can be interpreted as the Teleological Argument. I don’t accept this argument because of the existence of spontaneous complexity found in nature.

    “every time you go above the ground the presure increases making the lungs of the human narrow and constricted” - Actually, pressure decreases. But you are right, the human chest does become narrow and constricted the higher in the atmosphere. But this is due to not having air to fill the lungs, not due to pressure. As far as that being in the Qu’ran, I say it could easily be coincidence. Also, the Qu’ran also got some science wrong. Doesn’t the book claim that the Earth does not move? Well, we know it moves, so the Qu’ran is wrong. Also, The Qu’ran claims that Allah made the stars to be missiles to fling a demons. But stars, as we now know, are very distant suns, not missiles of any kind. There are other such problems with the Islamic holy book. Just go here:

    TRUTH Says:

    Hello sidfaiwu,

    sorry to late,
    “Doesn’t the book claim that the Earth

    does not move?”
    I looked to the link that you send it

    to me
    “27:61 Who made the earth a fixed

    abode”
    the answer in 2points:
    1st: scientific
    we know that the earth density

    increases form the surface to the

    center of earth, that is because the

    exist of a major percent of heavy

    elements: steel 90% and nickle 9% and

    other elements making earth inner core

    which is 31% of earth mass and 55% of

    the earth diameter, and for that earth

    is abode fixed by it is own.(1)
    And the heavy elements inside the

    earth was mentioned in quran sura “99:

    The Earthquake” verse 2 :”And when the

    earth throws out its burdens”

    and the distance between the sun and

    the earth is about 150 million km, and

    as magnetic rule : the mass increase

    of any one of 2 bodies increases the

    magnetic force, and the more distance

    between 2 bodies the less magnetic

    force, and also there is A strong

    connection between earth mass and sun

    mass in A regular way, means each time

    the mass of one of them changes the

    other get change as well to make the

    distance of earth as constant.(2)

    “78: The Tidings” verse 7 :” And the

    mountains as pegs”we know that the

    earth is divided to seven layer the

    outer one is the surface it lays on

    the outer mantle layer which is

    viscid, that will make the surface of

    the earth move but god make mountains

    to be pegs for the surface to be fixed

    abode.
    and you know that pegs the small of it

    shows above the ground and most of it

    underground , the scientists found

    that the mountains have roots with

    high between double high of the

    mountains to 15 time making the

    surface layer fixed abode. (3)

    2nd:linguistical
    and that mean that god make earth to

    live in not like other planets ,there

    is a water surface of 71% of earth

    surface (not ice), 5000 million ton

    of oxygen, earth gravity, the day and night and the 4 seasons, means that the earth is fixed abode to it is population

    if u look again to the verse you will see the answers that i said above
    “61] Is not He (better than your gods) Who has made the earth as a fixed abode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet water)? Is there any ilâh (god) with Allâh? Nay, but most of them know not.”

    and i`ll answer the second Q in other time , because i take much time with translation

    check this site for a good translation
    http://quran.muslim-web.com/sura.htm?aya=001

    it`s written in arabic (just set in the “?” you`ll find translation–>english)

    Your Father Says:

    With the proper interpretation, the cat in the hat can be seen as historical and scientific fact as well. People do the same thing with the bible and Nostradamus. The point is we have never actually learned any historical or scientific fact from any of these books.

    Let me put it this way. Scientists are looking for a grand unifying theory now, but they aren’t looking in the Qu’ran (or the bible or any other holy texts that claim to have the answers for everything), and for good reason. However, whenever we do figure it out, people like you are going to find some interpretation of the Qu’ran and say it was there the whole time.

    TRUTH Says:

    “The Qu’ran claims that Allah made the stars to be missiles to fling a demons”
    Allah created stars for 3 reasons:
    (1) to decorate the lower sky and to glow.
    (2) And as landmarks to all mankind to guide themselves at night.
    (3) As missiles to drive away the devils.
    I’ll talk with three points then I’ll go on:
    1) All mankind are leaven in just one layer of the sky which has all those stars around, the Scientifics know there is other layer but for now they don’t know even how much layers are there or what’s after the stars.
    2) Devils Allah created them different, not like the human, they have more abilities to move than humans.
    3) Angels were created by Allah and they obey the commands of Allah, every one from the angels has his type of work to obey god with, “there is a group of angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord” they were mentioned in sura “79: Those Who Drag Forth” verse 5.

    ”Sura 72: The Jinn” verses 7,8 and 9 “’ ‘And they thought as you thought, that Allah will not send any Messenger (to mankind or jinn)[8]And we have sought to reach the heaven; but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires [9] ‘And verily, we used to sit there in stations, to (steal) a hearing, but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush”

    those verses means that the devils before the came of the prophet were stealing a hearing from “angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord” ,to know the future and what will happen , and some of the devils is delivering what they hear to “those who claims to know the future” , and after the prophet came the heaven was filled with stern guards and flaming fires preventing devils to reach the heaven .

    Hello TRUTH,

    I have not given the Qu’ran as thorough a study as I have the Bible. Thus I’m a bit out of my element debating the finer points of the Islamic holy text. I am certain that you know it better than I. In trying my usual critiques that I use against Christianity, I find myself unable to do so successfully. Not because there are no credible critiques of Islamic theology, but because I do not know nearly enough about Islamic theology. I’ll continue my education by following the links you have provided.

    The only challenge I can present at this time is the following: any God that inflicts eternal suffering (Hell) on its own creation is not worthy of worship. Such a being cannot be all-good. Muslims believe that Allah sends some people to Hell, if I’m not mistaken. Thus Allah is not worthy of worship.

    Thanks for your time.

    TRUTH Says:

    • Hello Sidfaiwu

    ”Any God that inflicts eternal suffering (Hell) on its own creation is not worthy of worship”

    let me discuss this with you, if you killed someone and bury him with sands and nobody see you, do you think that you could get with it, yeah why not, no body see you, but god saw you.
    look around you, you going to see people injustice each other, some killing each other for nothing and some for money, some steal you, some are drug dealer all they think is money, someone who is powerful take’s everything from you, so do you think that it’s fair to those all go without punishment, do you think all those who die because of drugs don’t worth anything to Allah, if they not Allah will not create them, Allah said it in his Holy book about the last day in sura 40 :The Forgiver (god) verse 17 “ This Day shall every person be recompensed for what he earned. This day no injustice (shall be done to anybody). Truly, Allah is Swift in reckoning”

    everyone in the life Allah is going to reckoning him for everything he do, when you do something good in the life like taking hands of someone blind, giving money to someone poor, Allah given’s you recompense (good deed) , look sura 6:(CATTLE, LIVESTOCK) verse 160 “Whoever brings a good deed (Islamic Monotheism and deeds of obedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him)) shall have ten times the like thereof to his credit, and whoever brings an evil deed (polytheism, disbelief, hypocrisy, and deeds of disobedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him)) shall have only the recompense of the like thereof, and they will not be wronged”, and if your good deed is more than evil deed with one only one you’ll go to paradise.
    And for those who make the [great injustice] , they injustice themselves“Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin” sura 4: women verse 48

    In sura 6:(CATTLE, LIVESTOCK) verse 14 “Say (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) “Shall I take as a Walî (Helper, Protector, Lord or God) any other than Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? And it is He Who feeds but is not fed.” Say: “Verily, I am commanded to be the first of those who submit themselves to Allah (as Muslims).” And be not you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah)”
    In sura 7: THE HEIGHTS verse 191 “Do they attribute as partners to Allah those who created nothing but they themselves are created”
    In sura 10: Jonah verse 34 “Say: “Is there of your (Allah’s so-called) partners one that originates the creation and then repeats it?” Say: “Allah originates the creation and then He repeats it. Then how are you deluded away (from the truth)”
    In sura 13: THE THUNDER verse 16 “Say (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Say: “(It is) Allah.” Say: “Have you then taken (for worship) Auliyâ’ (protectors) other than Him, such as have no power either for benefit or for harm to themselves?” Say: “Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to light? Or do they assign to Allah partners who created the like of His creation, so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them.” Say: “Allah is the Creator of all things; He is the One, the Irresistible.”
    In sura 18: The cave verse 52 “And (remember) the Day He will say: “Call those (so-called) partners of Mine whom you pretended.” Then they will cry unto them, but they will not answer them, and we shall put Maubiq (barrier) between them”

    all of that blessing (walk, talk, see, food, money, health, earth, heaven, breath, other who love us, heart, …….”And if you would count the favors of Allah, never could you be able to count them. Truly! Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” sura 16: the bee verse 18, and after that there’s who made with Allah partners, that is the [great injustice].

    Hello TRUTH,

    Thanks for the information. I have no problems with a punishment and rewards system. What I do have a problem with is the severity and permanence of Allah’s punishment. Sure, I can understand making murderers suffer, but not eternally. At some point it ceases to be punishment and begins to be torture. A God that tortures does not deserve praise.

    TRUTH Says:

    • Last thing look to those verses they are too long so I didn’t wrote them with the past comment put you’ll find your answer clearly here:
    In sura 23: The believers verses 84-end
    but I’m asking and seeking you for one thing(just one thing): to hear this sura from someone who read it, and I know that you don’t know Arabic, but just hear it once, and tell me about it, that’s all I’m seeking you about it, try it you will not lose something

    the link of the sura is:
    http://quran.islamway.com/quran3/147/023.mp3

    the verses:
    [84] Say: “Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein? If you know!”
    [85] They will say: “It is Allâh’s!” Say: “Will you not then remember?”
    [86] Say: “Who is (the) Lord of the seven heavens, and (the) Lord of the Great Throne?”
    [87] They will say: “Allah.” Say: “Will you not then fear Allah (believe in His Oneness, obey Him, believe in the Resurrection and Recompense for every good or bad deed)?”
    [88] Say “In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and everything)? And He protects (all), while against whom there is no protector, (i.e. if Allah saves anyone none can punish or harm him, and if Allah punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if you know?”
    [89] They will say: “(All that belongs) to Allah.” Say: “How then are you deceived and turn away from the truth?”
    [90] Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.
    [91] No son (or offspring) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilâh (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), then each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified is Allah above all that they attribute to Him!
    [92] All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted is He over all that they associate as partners to Him!
    [93] Say (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) “My Lord! If You would show me that with which they are threatened (torment),
    [94] “My Lord! Then (save me from Your Punishment), and put me not amongst the people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers).”
    [95] And indeed we are Able to show you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) that with which We have threatened them.
    [96] Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with the things they utter.
    [97] And say: “My Lord! I seek refuge with you from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayâtin (devils).
    [98] “And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! Lest they should come near me.”
    [99] Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah), he says: “My Lord! Send me back,
    [100] “So that I may do good in that which I have left behind!” No! It is but a word that he speaks; and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.
    [101] Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.
    [102] Then, those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, they are the successful.
    [103] and those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose their Own selves, in Hell will they abide.
    [104] The Fire will burn their faces, and therein they will grin, with displaced lips (disfigured).
    [105] “Were not My Verses (this Qur’ân) recited to you, and then you used to deny them?”
    [106] they will say: “Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people.
    [107] “Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Zâlimûn: (polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers).”
    [108] He (Allah) will say: “Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to me!”
    [109] Verily! There was a party of my slaves, who used to say: “Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for you are the Best of all who show mercy!”
    [110] But you took them for a laughingstock, so much so that they made you forget My Remembrance while you used to laugh at them!
    [111] Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience: they are indeed the ones that are successful.
    [112] He (Allah) will say: “What number of years did you stay on earth?”
    [113] they will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account.”
    [114] He (Allah) will say: “You stayed not but a little, if you had only known!
    [115] “Did you think that we had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to us?”
    [116] So Exalted is Allah, the True King: Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
    [117] and whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allah, any other ilâh (god), of whom he has no proof; then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kâfirûn (the disbelievers in Allah and in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, pagans, idolaters) will not be successful.
    [118] and say (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) “My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for you are the Best of those who show mercy!”

    TRUTH Says:

    In sura 64: MUTUAL DISILLUSION, HAGGLING verse 10 “But those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and denied Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they will be the dwellers of the Fire, to dwell therein forever. And worst indeed is that destination.”

    I got your question, I understand it, this is the question how Allah creates a thing to eternally torture?

    Do you know the story of the devil Iblîs (Satan)!?
    Allah tells the angels to fall down prostrate to the man he will create all the angels obey and just Iblîs (Satan) disobey the order of Allah, then Allah said to him Then get out from here; for verily, you are outcast, then Iblîs (Satan) said: “By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all (mankind).
    so Iblîs (Satan) will be in the hell forever, because he disobey Allah order, and after that we see all of the evil of him, he is trying to make too many from the mankind with him in hell, because he disobey to prostrate to the man that Allah create.

    sidfaiwu Says:

    Who’s fair? If Allah gave us the ability to suffer and than tortured some of us for eternity? Who’s fair if Allah gives all of us a sense of justice that he then violates by punishing people two much?

    I agree that we have a lot to be thankful for. But being well off in this life does not make up for an eternity of suffering. There is no comparison.

    Allah is not fair, Allah is sadistic (the Christian God isn’t any better, by the way).

    Alcari Says:

    TRUTH, you seem to hold some very VERY creative interpretations of those texts. I’ve never read them before, but you seem to be assigning meanings to them that they don’t have.

    For instance, the bit about the earth moving, sounds more like it speaks of erosion and how material things are but fleeting.

    your understanding of physics and astronomy aren’t to great, but suffice it to say that in no way the earth is stationary. Not it’s orbits, not it’s tilt, not it’s spin, not it’s landmasses etc etc.

    Back to the Allah is fair, thing.
    Reading this, why are you still alive? Or any of us for that matter. If paradise is so great, wouldn’t we all want to be there? If Allah were fair, wouldn’t we all be born into paradise in the first place?

  38. 38
    gasmonso Says:

    @Alcari

    We’re not put into paradise immediately because God wants to play with us for awhile. If we all just went to heaven, that wouldn’t be any fun. Plus by doing it this way, God gets to banish those he doesn’t like. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Would you want all of humanity in your house? I think not. God is just hazing us right now to root out the weak and lame ;)

    “I think Allah is fair ”

    Lets see. First he invents a hell to torment people for eternity - then he creates unbelievers to fill it.
    When he get tired of this after a large numbers of milleniums he decides to show how fair he is.
    He then sends warnings to a single man with a fondness for war: “believe I exist and obey my messenger or you will all burn”.
    For the next 1400 years he does nothing more - not even picking another messenger - except welcoming a number of billions more souls to his hell and rewarding his believers with sex.

    “I think Allah is fair and you think not, but I think we can’t judge on Allah, because we are not gods to judge on Allah”

    Thats exactly why I dont go to religious sites to learn about religions like Islam.

    •
    • No, why? because, no way some who work at this company even as security if he has just the elementary grade, and takes that money, so why do you think you must go to paradise, you need to qualify first, how? By doing all good things in life and keep away the evil thing?
    •
    • And do you think Allah is fair, if he put the powerful oppressor with those they injustice them.
    • that’s the fair as you think right, that’s mean you don’t have to do anything to go to paradise.
    Ok I’ll be with you, so if you are working to get money, leave your work and if your manager is fair he will give your money back without working, because wouldn’t we all want to have money.
    You can’t lie on the couch and get money, that’s the same rule for paradise.

    for Mr. Alcari
    you attacked me that I’m assigning meanings to texts that they don’t have in the 1st paragraph

    at 2nd you said that I give answers of materials and I got less info. In physics and astronomy, then you said that I said that the earth is “Not it’s orbits, not it’s tilt, not it’s spin, not it’s landmasses”, and that I never ever said it

    the last thing about fairing stuff I think I answered it above

    for the texts meaning, ok you got to bring me your reference, like you know how to translate from Arabic to English, so if you don’t, Don’t attack others without any reference, it’s not just by feeling, all what I wrote from verses meaning was pointed the place of it in quran to make it easy to you to check it if you want, I think that’s the 1st point

    2nd who said that the earth is not moving?!!!
    Sidfaiwu asked me “what does mean the earth is fixed abode” and I answered this question.

    Well, I for one, do not know if there is a god. Frankly I do not need a god, never had any use for one and do not see any need for in the future. I tend to believe in myself and my abilities.

    If God exists, he may come and have a coffee/beer/etc during his visit and I have nothing against that but I do not need him. If he would appear, I would say he exists but I would not worship him, and any possible bullying by divinity is not taken in good spirit.

    As for soul, to me a soul is me, I am my own soul. It is no separate entity residing within me but what I am, have done, will do all that is my soul. Aristotle put it into writing quite nicely in the De Anima.

    “for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection”

    This fragment is what is wrong with religious texts. I find it hard to believe that people want to believe in a being who is that cruel and callously maims people just because they were not willing to subject themselves to be his slaves.

    Religious texts keep demanding self subjugation to some higher power and from a historical view point slavery is so ingrained into humanity that it should not surprise but it does.

    First examples of slavery are from around 11000 BCE in the town of Jericho and it has been continuing from since and most like predating Jericho also. Slavery as a means of societal control has been effective in the past but humanity has reached a level of understanding where such behavior is hard to justify, perhaps it has just evolved and uses religion as a camouflage?

    “if Allah willed i’ll go to heaven if i died, so i’m not scare if i died at any time any where”

    I do not have any need for heaven after death as I am satisfied with what I have and the thought of a “better” place as heavens are described do not really make be want to get there. The descriptions of heaven sound to me like hedonistic paradises or places of strict rules where free will is no more. Neither pleases me.

    I have no fear of death as it is natural conclusion of life, regardless of what caused it. I need no divine comfort “blankie” to tell me that death is not so bad as it never has been a bad thing to me to start with.

    My lack of fear of death is not fatalism. I am not taking idiotic risks as I have no fear of death. I dislike pain in sufficient amount to be that foolish. I just find the natural cycle of life to be sufficient to me. It seems absurd to be scared of it. I do know people who are afraid of death but most of them are very egoistic and a concept of being forgotten is mainly their greatest fear.

    Hopefully you and Mohammed can accept the fact that there are some Arabs here too who are atheists, but apparently this is not the case here.

    Oh and what soul are you talking about? until you actually show that there is a soul you don’t have a point. As a good old Arabian proverb goes: “What was presented without evidence, can be rejected without evidence.”

    And your Ayah there doesn’t prove anything, it is more or less a self fulfilling prophecy.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some other gods to kill. The abrahamic god isn’t even the best among them.

    the only thing that you translated right is “didn’t even speak truly about your claim” and the other thing is yes it was a poet, other else not even a word.

    i asked you what’s the soul?where’s the point in here?
    i said that if you say that there’s no soul say just yes.

    for the 1st line of the poet he translated
    “forsake your four wonts and the place you have come to know….etc”

    the right translation is:
    leave thinking in home—- and the place that you revisited too many (as you love it) in the spring.

    “but you seem to be assigning meanings to them that they don’t have” if you think that i’m assiging the meanings to them that they didn’t have, you’ll not use the word “SEEM”

    And back for you Mohamed.

    “every one knows that there is god , expect some who think they creates themselves”

    No mythological creatures in the history of mankind has ever been proven to exist. Neither Allah, Ganeshi, Santa Clause or unicorns - so to answer your question. Noone knows whether there is gods in this universe or not - but a lot of people believe so.
    You feel Allah exists in your heart but its really just your brain thats fooling you - and that has recently been scientifically proven here in Denmark.

    It’s a bit different with evolution. Unlike religion it has been proven true on all occasions and makes a lot more sense than religion even though it can be hard to understand.

    “i’m going to ask you question “what is the soul”, until now no on the earth also the scientific didn’t find this answer and they will not, or you want to say that there is no soul?”

    Yes there is no soul so there is really nothing to find for scientists except reasons for people believing such things. All feelings - love, hate, fear etc. - inside you is the work of the most amazing thing about humans. Your brain. Make the best use of it.

    My guess is that believing in souls is one of the oldest religions we have. The moment mankind realized that everybody is destined for death, some kind of escape was needed - a thing that can survive death - a soul.

    Mohamed: “so i’m not scare if i died at any time any where”

    You see what I mean? :)

    Later afterlifes for these souls were invented by ambitious people who wanted power. Muhammed is a good example.

    “But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’ân nor acts on its teachings.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection”

    Would someone talking into a phone give the same result, too? What about someone talking to another in the same room? What the research says is that the person praying actually believes it to be a form of communication. It does not say that that is a trick of your mind, or that it is not a form of communication. All it says is that people who pray use the same mode of communication as someone talking to another.

    That’s all. It’s not a trick of mind; it’s a common way of thinking.

    2nd one: gather all of you to this, create a red butterfly with black lines, that if you see it you can’t know the difference between it and other, and yes you can use materials, i know that you all say that everything happens by reactions of the material, so reactions some materials and get us this red butterfly with black lines in it’s back, and give us the prescription, because i love to know

    if you can’t, so who are you to talk, if you have a body with all organic and you don’t even make it move for 1 second, and you can’t create disgusting bug as butterfly, why you flatter yourself, can you give us honey as bee or milk as cow, that’s means cow and bee are better, if you can so really i want to see this, iam waiting for cow man and bee man, it’s easy i know you can create any thing, by the way is saturn your’s?

    Ulrik, what I’m saying is that there is no proof of anything other than people who pray view it to be communication. Yeah, maybe they’re talking to nothing. Maybe not, though, and this research doesn’t prove anything other than they think they are talking to someone.

    What you are saying is that if you believe you are talking to someone without ever having an proof that that someone exists your mind is not working properly. That’s not what te research is saying, though, and to use the research to say that is misleading. It’s like the ID supporters saying that evolutionists disagree on details so they all must be wrong.

    Ulrik Says:

    “and this research doesn’t prove anything other than they think they are talking to someone.”

    Yes - why do you consider that a small thing?

    I think it says a lot about religios minds and why so many people continue to believe in supernatural creatures long after they mature.
    If Jesus is as real in your head as your own dad - even though you never met Jesus for real - how can you convince yourself he doesn’t exist?

    “That’s not what te research is saying, though, and to use the research to say that is misleading.”

    I am sorry if you feel misled, truly I am, but I think its a rather obvious conclusion on the research. Replace “God” with “Talking Teapot” and you believe you would reach the same conclusion.

    Outsider Says:

    The problem is simple, though. You’re just saying that to have belief is, de facto, to be nuts. Whatever, if you believe that to be true, that’s fine… but you’re backing up that claim with research that doesn’t actually say that.

    The research only says that to pray is to talk to God. Nothing more, nothing less.

    But, if you believe that God exists, then you would consider that to be a forgone conclusion. I believe that you exist, and are not just a machine that is designed to refute anything I say. So when I write this, I’m talking to you, even though I have no proof you exist. Replace “God” with “Ulrik” and would you come to the same conclusion? That’s what I’m saying.

    To be honest, in this day and age (with electronic communication being so powerful) I have many friends for whom I have almost no proof of their existance. God is just like that, with the added problem of getting anything back from him… :) But seriously, if you can accept that you’re talking to a human being and not a bot designed to spam, you’re doing what every person that prays does: taking it on faith.

    I do not agree with your comparisons. If I spoke with a bot that wrote convincing I would be fooled fairly and I respond to your writing so some kind of “ulrik” must exist.
    However people who speak with God do not get any response that fools them - unless they take certain situations as a “sign” from God of course. It is as I see it therefore their own mind that fools them - not responses from the outside world as your examples shows.

    @Truth,
    Pain can be measured. It’s as hard to do it as to read data of your internet connection with a multimeter, but it is possible.

    And you tell me the difference between clinically dead and really dead. Because I certainly don’t know the difference(if there is any)

    Why only 3 hours? No idea. I am not a biologist. The dogs were dead, their hearts didn’t beat, their brains were inactive, they didn’t breathe…etc.
    I guess if a scientist gets dogs back to life after 3 days you’ll be asking for 3 years(or 300 like allah did with ahel el kahf perhaps) and so on. Fact is that it has been done, and just like the first airplane was neither fast nor could it fly across the ocean, reviving the dead will become better with time.

  78. 78
    TRUTH Says:

    for Agony:
    ” And you tell me the difference between clinically dead and really dead”
    let’s get to the definition of dead : not live. Put in our life we use the word dead with those who we try with our knowledge to make them a live and we failed And then we burying them, technically dead: we say it to those who one of their organic system stops and making a threat to the life in the body but still didn’t try all what we can from our knowledge to help them out.

    ” Why only 3 hours? No idea. I am not a biologist”
    me either, the scientific sees that after a long time with “technical dead” the brains stops sending signal to the organics to work even after electric shocks and else, after that the human dies.
    So let’s get to the point, we die because one of the organics didn’t work, why? Just stops or the brain didn’t send any signals, why? The cycle of the blood stops to reach the mind, why?…..etc., we will end up with why?
    if we are like machines we will live, because every one of the organics is fine so the time doesn’t matter, but the time matters because when we put a body into refrigerator we preserve the organics as fine as they were, but after a time we sees that the human is dead even after electric shocks, that means there is something missing in the cycle?
    What’s the time for our life to be expired, even with the major research on animals we are not able until now to know the time of the animal death (ex. This rabbit will die in 22/2/2010 02:30:35 a.m.), or even closer to that date, all we know that this species lasts between 3 or 4 years.
    So we miss something, it’s the soul (the life), when the soul rises to Allah who creates it, there’s no life, at this point the eyes of the human raise with the soul, now he is dead.

    Who create me and who create everything else?
    If you said that my father creates me and my grandfather creates my father, then who creates the first man?
    not just, if the first man creates all man kind, that means the second generation of us have the genetically specifications of the first man and the first woman, and so on and so on, nothing new, it’s just the genetically specifications of the first generation, until now everyone of us have his own fingerprint, even twins who’s match in every the genetically specifications have their own fingerprint that didn’t match with any human in the life.

    who creates the space, the sky, grounds, planets, stars, animals, insects, air, water, atoms, materials(steel, hydro, oxy, lithium, all the The Periodic Table 118 elements)
    who start this universe from nothing, because if doesn’t start from nothing then who creates the first thing, we will return that there is a creater.

    who create this universe with this regularity, earth rounding the sun, earth is rounding itself, atmosphere protect us, we are not that far from sun and not that close, oxygen.

    and who creates all living kind with this regularity, the nervous system, the endocrine system, musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal tract system, and so and so.

    Alright here goes…
    If i’m right you say that someone who is dead can simply be revived, because we are just machines?
    Well the last point it totally true, but the human body is FAR more complex then you seem to think. If you cut of blood from the brain the cells in the brain recieve no more blood. without blood they loose their oxygen, which leads to the brain cells dieing. Dead cells loose their function and cannot be revived, shock or anything.

    If someone’s heart stops, the brain looses it’s oxygen supply, but if restarted soon enough, the brain will have had enough reserves to survive without any serious damage.

    Throwing someone in the fridge will lead to crystalisation of the water in your cells, which ruptures the cellwalls, killing the cells and thus you.

    before making eny scientific claims, do some research.

    “”"Who create me and who create everything else?
    If you said that my father creates me and my grandfather creates my father, then who creates the first man?”"”

    There is no ‘first man’ It’s called evolution….

    “”"everyone of us have his own fingerprint, even twins who’s match in every the genetically specifications have their own fingerprint”"”
    Your point?

    .

    “”"who creates the space, the sky, grounds, planets, stars, animals, insects, air, water, atoms, materials(steel, hydro, oxy, lithium, all the The Periodic Table 118 elements)”"”

    Actaully humans created quite a few of those elements, but the answer is of course ‘the big bang’ combined with nuclear fusion creates all the matter we see now.

    .

    “”"and who creates all living kind with this regularity, the nervous system, the endocrine system, musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal tract system, and so and so.”"”

    once again, your lack of biological knowledge shows itself. There are plenty of animal who do not have all of the above.

    First of all: read the conversation before interrupting and giving wrong answers of all questions.

    your answer of the brain and the heart is right, but that really proved that you didn’t read the conversation.

    i didn’t mean by fridge that you freeze him or putting him in a lower degree, just in degree that keep the body as it was.

    “There is no ‘first man’ It’s called evolution”
    is this really the answer of this kind of questions, and i really want to know that evolution.

    “‘the big bang’ combined with nuclear fusion creates all the matter we see now.”
    i think nuclear fusion needs nucleus, that means as you said that there were nucleuses that made `the big bang’, that proved that there is a creater to that nucleus, and that was my point.

    and next time if you want to prove that there is no creater start from zero(nothing), because if you said one thing was exist that means there is a creater for this thing.

    “Your point?”, READ the conversation.

    “There are plenty of animal who do not have all of the above”, is that really what did you understand from the question?!!!

    Maybe, gasmonso. That would officially make me a pantheist. Since I don’t rule that possibility out in my theology, perhaps I’d be better labeled as a ‘pan-deist’? I’ve actually thought a lot on this topic recently. I might write about them later.

  85. 85
    Outsider Says:

    Wow, lost track of this.

    To Ulrik: The conversation is definitively one sided. Or, more accurately, it’s kinda like letters. I talk to God, and he talks to me when I look into the teachings of his prophets (or into the world around me that He created, ect). Sometimes it’s simply one sided; a request for wisdom or personal strength.

    I know that I’m not going to get a direct answer from him. But that doesn’t mean that I’m nuts for talking. Maybe he’s listening, maybe not, maybe he exists, maybe not… But the fact that I accept that He exists and may be listening means that it’s not insane (or a malfunction of my brain) to talk to him.

    Now, if you want to call me insane for accepting that He exists, that’s a different story. That, however, I would contest is opinion and not something that you can prove (or even reliably debate).

    Gasmonso:

    The creator created himself. If He created the entirety of the universe, that means he created all dimensions of it, including time. That would mean that he’s not limited by our concept of causuality, because the cause and effect nature of our world is due to the nature of our existence wholy within a world that has a time dimension.

    If you created the universe, you create all aspects of it. As time is an aspect of the universe, then you created it. If you create something, then you have to exist (at least partly) outside of it. If you exist (partly) outside of something, then you are not limited to the effects that exist within it. Causuality is an effect of time, which is an aspect of the universe. If God created the universe, then He’s not tied down by causuality.

    Of course, it’s also possible that He simple doesn’t exist and the whole universe sprang out of an instant of quantum instability and unprobablity. But it’s impossible to prove either way, and a matter of what you choose to believe at this point.

    Many probably do. But in reality, a human (in any form!) would be much to limited to hold a being of even immense but finite complexity, never mind an infinite being.

    Maybe, after a fashion… but it would still be suprising. And it’s kinda silly to assume that a physical form is required anyway. Would it be possible that we are built in the mental image (in other words, as sentient, thinking beings) of God? We all think somewhat alike, and in a manner that is different from even the intelligent animals (like dolphins and primates)…

    Those are my personal thoughts on it. If God exists, (S)He would create us to think, as (S)He does. Physically we’re nothing special; just the decendants of monkeys. Mentally, we’re something different, although whether or not because of evolution or something else (or both!) is something else to discuss.

    Even if some kind of God or Godess existed and was capable of listening to your talk, you would still have the odds against you, since there are over 4.000 Gods and Godesses in the worlds mythologies - at present time.

    “Maybe the Universe is God?”
    can’t be, look we human have the ability to move walk, make every thing we can do, look as example the sun coming from east to west of the earth by the rounding of the earth, have you ever wake up and see that today the sun is busy so there no sun today or the moon is rounding another planet, No.
    but if you look to the relation between universe and human, you’ll see that we have the sun to worm us and to have water on earth not ice and to lighting the earth and else and else, and look to the rain we use it in agriculture and to drink and else and else, that means that universe is for us to live a better life.

    i know there is one going to ask me and (the natural disasters), so the answer is:
    30:THE ROMANS verse 41 “(Evil (sins and disobedience of Allah) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds), that He (Allah) may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His Pardon).”
    16:THE BEE verse 61 “And if Allah were to seize mankind for their wrong-doing, He would not leave on it (the earth) a single moving (living) creature, but He postpones them for an appointed term and when their term comes, neither can they delay nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).
    so the natural disasters is what we made from wrong and injustice in our life, and that makes you to do the right every time and makes you not scare of death, because you know that you can die at any time, so you do your best in life.

    Look to all this that Allah let us know in his book from 1400yr:
    36: YA-SEEN verse 38 “And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.”

And We sent down iron wherein is mighty power (in matters of war), as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help Him (His religion), and His Messengers in the unseen. Verily, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.”
    The Iron was sent down.

    “TRUTH” How many children do you think died in the tsunami last year and what wrong and injustice had they done to deserve that fate?

    Malaria kills up to 3.000.000 people each year (mainly children). Did your god invent that disease just to tell us “do your best in life”?

    Do you really honestly believe what you just wrote?

    Let’s for a moment assume that you are right - that there really is a being named Allah who has political agendas like that. Personally I would join a resistence group and fight his murderous regime and NEVER submit - vive la resistance!

    By the way - If Muhammed had written 1400 years ago “The earth runs on its fixed course around the sun for a term” you would really have something to show us - but of course he didn’t because he did not know how the universe works - and how could he?

    Your “scientific” proofs from the quran seems a bit desperate. You say the following text speaks of the big bang.

    “Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them?”

    So far so good - it’s just that the earth was not created in the big bang. You would know that if you had opened a book about the subject and not just copied the text from some mullahs homepage.

    “And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.”

    It may seem so Muhammed from where we stand but it really doesn’t. Muhammed you are not telling the truth.

There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record.”

    I know that in natural disasters too many people died from every ages, some of them are made evil by their hands and that was the time for punishment some of them are much much better than me so Allah wants to reward them by returning them to him, you maybe look and say how the reward be with death, but do you know the future?, God knows, you not, you don’t know what happens tomorrow, but God knows, maybe today I’m living tomorrow I’m not, maybe today I’m believer tomorrow I’m not so I prefer to die now as a believer not tomorrow as not, and some who they are drug dealer God leave him maybe there is a day he will repent.

    And we are part of the disasters by our wrongs or by our (scrimp & greed)
    read malaria page in wikipedia you’ll find “Economic adviser Jeffrey Sachs estimates that malaria can be controlled for US$3 billion in aid per year”, we have also hungry pepole in niger and other countries and we are here have more than 20 kind of food in our fridge, what did we did to them (nothing), so you are asking for them to live more and more injustice life, God knows, paradise is better, and he know what is better for us all (mankind).
    as the prophet said: when you hurt by thorn, you will reward, nothing will happen to you in life you will not take better than it in (next life).

    look to what God made to those who inflict and was patient.
    Sura 11: HUD verse 115:”And be patient; verily, Allah wastes not the reward of the good-doers.”
    76: HUMAN verse 12 “And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient”
    41: EXPLAINED IN DETAIL verse 35 “But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient - and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world.”

    And look to the story of two of the prophets (Khidr) and (Moses) in sura 18: THE CAVE verses 65-82 ”Then they found one of Our slaves, on whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Us [66] Musa (Moses) said to him (Khidr): “May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)? [67] He (Khidr) said: “Verily you will not be able to have patience with me! [68] “And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?” [69] Musa (Moses) said: “If Allah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.” [70] He (Khidr) said: “Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you.” [71] So they both proceeded, till, when they embarked the ship, he (Khidr) scuttled it. Musa (Moses) said: “Have you scuttled it in order to drown its people? Verily, you have committed a thing “Imr” (a Munkar - evil, bad, dreadful thing).” [72] He (Khidr) said: “Did I not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me?” [73] (Musa (Moses)) said: “Call me not to account for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you).” [74] Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Musa (Moses) said: “Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing “Nukr” (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!” [75] (Khidr) said: “Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me?” [76] (Musa (Moses)) said: “If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me.” [77] Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. (Musa (Moses)) said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!” [78] (Khidr) said: “This is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold patience. [79] “As for the ship, it belonged to Masâkîn (poor people) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king behind them who seized every ship by force. [80] “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief. [81] “So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and nearer to mercy. [82] “And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did them not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience.”

    “Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them?”
    if you read good, you will see “were joined, THEN) that means that earth was exist before the big bang “it’s just that the earth was not created in the big bang” I know, that what I wrote and you didn’t understand.

    You misunderstood me TRUTH. I wrote an example of a text that would have showed Muhammed had divine knowlegde. I never said you wrote it. Try read my post again.

    Muhammed wrote that the sun moved and he could see it move. He does not mention that the earth is moving. This indicates that he assumed the earth stood still - that he did not know how the universe works. Its simple as that - I hope you understand me now.

    Its good for you that the sun really moves (like all other things in space really) so you can use that as a proof of your religious faith - just remember Muhammed said a lot of things and not all can be saved by scientific facts. He also said that the mountains do not move - and they do.

    “if you read good, you will see “were joined, THEN) that means that earth was exist before the big bang”

    I understood you perfectly - The earth did not exist before big bang neither. Big bang was an explosion nearly 14 billions years ago that expanded the universe and filled it with matter. Then the stars formed and matter grouped together into planets. The earth was formed that way just 4.5 billions years ago.

    1. For Ulrik:
    “Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity” [al-Mumtahinah 60:8]

    The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”

    The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to the Muslim army: “Go out in the name of Allah and by the help of Allah, following the way of the Messenger of Allah. Do not kill any old man, infant, child or woman… spread goodness and do good, for Allah loves those who do good.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2614

    this is supported by the advice which Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allah be pleased with him) gave to the commander of his army: “I advise you of ten things: do not kill a woman, or a child, or any old person, or cut down any fruit trees…” (Al-Muwatta’, 982, Kitaab al-Jihad).

    It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zaalimoon (wrongdoers those who disobey Allah).”[Al-Mumtahinah 60:9]

    sura 9: REPENTANCE, DISPENSATION verse 4 “except those of the Mushrikûn with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them for the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al-Mattaqûn “

    verse 12 “But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism then fight (you) the leaders of disbelief (chiefs of Quraish pagans of Makkah) - for surely their oaths are nothing to them - so that they may stop (evil actions).”

    So we fight what they fight us, some of Muslims they understood Islam very very wrong, all what I said is written in our books and they don’t know it or they been abused by others that want to kill in the name of Islam and it’s not even that close to Islam, at last they are abusing to all Muslims in the world and to the religion of the god and not just that, they killing small child’s as (the Beslan massacre), fathers and mother as (9/11), they kill innocence people who are didn’t even talk to them or harm them or hurt them.

    You can’t judge on Islam by those Muslims, we fight only who fight us such as (Palestine), jews want from the Palestinians to leave their lands and every day they are killing more and more Palestinians, so they are fighting back jews, another place (Iraq) those who claimed they came with all that army just (for peace) and no body asked for that freedom they fight them back.

    ” This indicates that he assumed the earth stood still”
    ” He also said that the mountains do not move”
    you said that our prophet said that the mountains are not moving, but he said not, and I did say this in comment no. 21 and I’ll paste it here:
    27: The Ant” verse 88: “And you will see the mountains and think them solid, but they shall pass away as the passing away of the clouds. The Work of Allah, Who perfected all things, verily He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.”
    http://www.55a.net/firas/english/index.php?page=show_det&id=37&select_page=69

    78: The Tidings” verse 7:” And the mountains as pegs” we know that the earth is divided to seven layer the outer one is the surface it lays on the outer mantle layer which is viscid, that will make the surface of the earth move but god make mountains to be pegs for the surface to be fixed abode.
    And you know that pegs the small of it shows above the ground and most of it underground, the scientists found that the mountains have roots with high between double high of the mountains to 15 time making the surface layer fixed abode

    Of course not - slaves was a large part of the spoils of war. Muhammed himself had plenty - even slavegirls.

    “You can’t judge on Islam by those Muslims”

    I think I can. The reason is this.

    Your holy text have plenty of verses that call for war against unbelievers. Some are even dictating which bodyparts that must be shopped off.

    You can see 164 of them here
    http://www.answering-islam.de/Main/Quran/Themes/jihad_passages.html

    Muslims who will not take part in the violence is promised hell.
    Some say they must be seen in its historical context but thats not what the text say. The quran is eternal acording to muslims.

    Muhammad waged aggressive war - not defensive. At least one time he massacred an entire adult male population. Women were allowed to be raped and then ended up as slaves like their children.
    Muhammed stole other peoples property with the help of his armies.

    People who critized him were assassinated at night and anyone who left his religion was sentenced to death.

    To make sure his calls for violence was to last forever he pronounced himself the last prophet (of course) and if all this was not enough he failed to leave a line of succession which is why shias and sunnis are battling each other to this day.

    So to make it short. Muhammed did a lousy job as a prophet and he is a bad example to follow, so yes I think I can judge your religion on the behaviour of a violent group of muslims.

    Its no coincidence that the most violent religion founded by the most violent cult-leader in history, is the only religion today that creates terrorists.

    proofNOTtruth Says:

    Gave motive to the bombers who are doing the Iraqi on Iraqi killing? I don’t think so. Sunni/Shia warfare has been going on for 1400 years. The majority of Iraqis have been killed by other Iraqis. The disposal of Saddam just unleashed the forces that have been simmering for a long long time in that region.

    And what about all the other, daily killings of innocents by muslims that happen all over the world, every single day? Is it all the fault of Bush and the USA? I don’t believe that either.

    You notice that the muslims of the world do not take to the streets protesting muslim murderers, don’t you? Where are they when their religion is supposedly highjacked by militants? They’re not in the streets, are they? No, they save their riotiing and burning and killing for important things like cartoons and tv shows. And this is why I know that the problem is in islam itself, not in the west or anything that Bush or the USA or Europe has done. They APPROVE of this kind of murder.

    Muslims around the world must look at all the non-muslim countries and realize that if allah is real, then he has obviously withheld his blessings from, of all places, the islamic countries of the world, which are all characterized by poverty and ignorance. This is the source of their peevhisness and fury that is then ignited and fueled by their religion.

    See, poverty alone does not account for their actions and their hatred of the West. Black Africa and South and Central America are also characterized by poverty and ignorance, but where are the terrorists form those regions? And the Americas are also places where religions is deeply held and believed in (catholicsim and evagelicalism, but no terrorists! What does that say?

    TRUTH Says:

    For you:
    you are really don’t know anything, check before talking, what is that fighting between sunnah and shia that started from 1400 yr.
    O.K. what’s is sunnah and what is shia they never ever mentioned in our books what does it means, are they were exist in the prophet life, NO.
    When you make Islam is your religion you are now Muslim, so what’s shia and what’s sunnah?, let’s get to the more important point what is Muslim?
    Muslim is who takes the quran and hadith their guides in every way in life.
    Sunnah people they are like 95% Muslims.
    Shia people is various between 0 - 75% Muslims, some of them thinks (Ali bin Abi-Talib) is the prophet and they are the 0%Muslims, some thinks that (Ali) is a God another 0%, some they think that (Ali and his sons) answer what they asked they are 65% Muslims.
    So, the only way to know how well is this Muslim by checking how he takes his guide in life.
    other thing I think too many of you know that drinking alcohol is haram in our religion, did you saw Muslim drink it?, for me yeah I saw, but that doesn’t mean that it’s halal, or that man is not Muslim, no he is a Muslim but he mistaking.

    You said that Muslims are terrorists, O.K., Muslims 100% terrorists, how much of this percent you give Al-Qaeda, if you give it less than 90% so you don’t know any thing, Islam is not Al-Qaeda, what Al-Qaeda is doing is not wrong, it’s very very wrong.
    You know that Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country the police there is raising a badge of hand in hand against terrorists, and if you read newspapers or watch TV you’ll see that they catch and kill too many terrorists, but if they as you said that means that the Saudi Islamic government will be very happy to support them not to kill them or to catch them.

    and other thing, you love when some one make a fun of you when he translated the text to what doesn’t mean and you taking it as it’s the right thing and as a reference, O.K., I’ll show you my point, I’ll give 2 sites who mistranslated to the quran:
    1st one: sidfaiwu give it to me, I’ll check it on 2: THE COW verse 190:
    ” 2:190 Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.”

    ” [2.190] …fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you…”

    the third: is mine it’s university of southern California:

    PICKTHAL: Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.

    And how can you tell which is mistranslated when your English is not so hot? And while we’re on translations, it has been credibly reported that Spain in one year translates more books into Spanish than any middle eastern country, except Isreal, has translated in the last 1,000 years.

    God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
    (References contained on this page are from the Bible and should be read in context wherever possible.)

    God’s Love
    “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16 NIV).

    God’s Plan
    [Christ speaking] “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).
    Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?
    Because…
    ________________________________________
    2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life.

    Man Is Sinful
    “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
    Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

    Man Is Separated
    “The wages of sin is death” [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).
    HOLY GOD

    SINFUL MAN
    God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The a man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails.
    The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf…
    ________________________________________
    3. Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.

    He Died in Our Place
    “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

    He Rose From the Dead
    “Christ died for our sins…He was buried…He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures…He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…” (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).
    He Is the Only Way to God
    “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me’” (John 14:6).
    GOD
    JESUS
    MAN
    God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
    It is not enough just to know these three laws…
    ________________________________________
    4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

    We Must Receive Christ
    “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).

    We Receive Christ Through Faith
    “By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).

    When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
    (Read John 3:1-8)

    We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
    [Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).

    Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
    The following explains how you can receive Christ:
    You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer:
    (Prayer is talking to God)

    God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:

    “Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”, I invite you to pray this prayer right now and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.

    Did you pray this prayer?

    Gabriel,
    How can you say that “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life”? Define “wonderful”. Perhaps you should consider reading Hebrews 11? Starting at verse 36, it says of Christ’s followers:
    “Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two,they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated–of whom the world was not worthy–wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” Also, consider that all but one of the apostles were killed and through the ages many, many were tortured and killed for their faith in Christ. I would suggest reading The Cross and the Crown.

    Important Message to Non Muslims
    If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-beings, then, one should pronounce the “Shahada”, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur’an is explicit on this regard as Allah states:
    “The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.” (Qur’an 3:19)
    In another verse of the Holy Qur’an, Allah states:
    “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost.”(Qur’an 3:85)
    If a person does not pronounce the Shahada and enter Islaam, we cannot say that he is a Muslim, even if he admired Islaam and recognized that it the best religion, a great religion, and so on. Abu Taalib, the uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died a kaafir (non-Muslim), and Allaah forbade His Prophet to pray for forgiveness for him, even though he used to defend the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said in his poems: “I do know that the religion of Muhammad is better than all other religions of mankind; were it not for fear of blame or slander, you would find me accepting it completely.”

    “religion is not a game”

    You’re right, it’s not. It’s a dangerous delusion.

    “why do not you critice [sic] on christiandom [sic] or on jews”

    Have you looked around the site? We criticize all religions.

    you know that islam is the best religion

    Nope, but it is the most sensitive. Why is that, I wonder? Is that it’s followers know it’s a load of bullshit and are afraid that honest criticism would expose it as a fraud? Perhaps.

    science is a fact and has been tested

    cristianity trys to suck you into it by saying if you dont follow it you will go to hell

    islam tries to suck you in by using violence

    now if i chose the best religion it would be buddhism

    there is no punishment for not following it
    everyone who does follow it is the most peaceful

    if the world was buudist it would be a better place with no murder,war, stealing etc etc

    In answer to mail #128.
    Try No religion at all. The animal and vegetable kingdom has done very well without it. Furthemore, they could do without us!, and to top that, they’ve survived far longer
    than we would envisage as the human race.

    eccles:

    in many respects, buddhism really shouldnt be considered a religion like the god-in-the-sky religions. It sounds to me more like a philosophy about controlling and mastering your negative emotions, to your benefit.

    i cant claim much knowledge about it, but it does seem low on the super-natural factor.

    Isalm is a great religion to comment on , no one is elligibale to have such a great honor.
    Prophet Mohamed, is God’s Messanger to human being and he is above any human susbcions.

    You who said bad words about him you will regret it in the life time and in the everlasting time.

    Ok if muslims r violant thats cuz they have dear religion that they love so much n wont let any shyt like pope or any christian or non religioned person to insult it. plz look at ur self pope ur piece of trash. dam u r so dam dirty people…

  137. 137
    sidfaiwu Says:

    @Reda, 136: Blame the victim. That’s just great. That would be like punishing a women for being the victim of rape. Oh, wait. Many Muslim countries do that as well.

    The more and more I read the comments of Muslims the more and more I am convinced that Islam is not the Religion of Violence. It’s not the Religion of Peace either. It’s the Religion of the Insecure. Many of its adherents are so utterly frightened of any criticism of their beliefs. When they encounter criticism, they have a fight-or-flight reaction instead trusting that their religion is robust enough to weather the critic.

    Imagine how many people turn away from Islam as a possibility based on the over reaction of its followers. These people are actively pushing people away from Allah yet they call themselves Muslim. I wonder how Allah feels about that.

    Islam is false. Instead of hating me and wanting to harm me for that thought, why not try to help me or at least pity me for being wrong? That would be the civilized way to respond.

    MarcDLS Says:

    I’m not trying to be a dick, I just am, but why is it so hard to find a Muslim who can for a proper sentence. It’s not just a “English as a second language thing,” because I’ve noticed that on all sides there are people just have an inability to form a complete sentence. WTF ever happened to grade school English. I would love to join into the debate but when I can’t figure out what is being said it’s just sorta pointless to try and read it.

    dear sidfaiwu, I would just like to know, is there anything wrong with defending your belief?

    Mahatma Gandhi fought for his beliefs [pardon the pun]. He believed in non-violence; so that’s what he did. Why is it that people look up to him?

    I’m sure there might be something that you believe in, or have affection for that you wouldn’t bear to see tarnished of wronged. And by something I don’t mean religion; it could be a person, thing, your dog, your cat, your love for the Yankees, anything!

    Islam is not the religion of the insecure. It’s just its believers love it too much and wish to defend it. It’s human nature… to fight for what you love.

    brother TRUTH did a very great job of shedding light upon Islam, but I feel that maybe the language barrier has caused many misunderstandings.

    I guess the only way to really know what Islam really is or isn’t is to read the Quran and then decide for yourself. :)

    i just wana say this is the most immature and retarded thing ive ever wasted my time reading. it is not funny at all. maybe you should write about the kkk you white bitches.. or hitler and what he did to jews. not muslims cause they havent done anything to hurt anyone

    irishthunder Says:

    “not muslims cause they havent done anything to hurt anyone”

    Seriously, who told you that? The attacks on September 11, 2001 alone is more than enough reason for islam to be wiped off the face of the earth. It’s true christianity has had a horrific effect on the world, but that just means it needs to be disposed of along with islam.

    any one catholic insulting someone has got a lot of nerve. that is the biggest cult in history, and they’re trying to say something about islam. i admit, i feel more stronly about the treatment of muslims by catholics, living in a christian-dominated country, but catholicism has a history of intolerance, injustice, and violence that runs even deeper than the killings in the middle east. They killed people, catholics got the western world stuck in a rut. not to say islam isn’t violent or anything, but people in glass houses…
