    Who Really Creates Jobs? Just the Rich?

    Demand creates jobs, yes. Who is the demand? It's not the rich. Its us, consumers, the middle class, the poor. We are the job creators. We should just eat the rich, then they'd actually be doing something for us.

    Racism, Christianity, U.S history, Christopher Columbus all rolled into one discussion

    Wow. As much as I have issues with Tim Wise, he might be a little more palatable for everyone in this thread. What kind of a card is race? (Article is under fundraising appeal)

    Muslims: Are Women EVER Responsible for Rape?

    First of all, you have my sincerest apologies for what happened to you. It's sort of hard for a woman to never be alone with any guy. Her brothers, uncles, father, grandfather, father-in-law, nephew, husband, etc; all of them could rape her and they're all mahram. I'm not twisting your...

    Graves in Islam

    This. I think people need to keep in mind that falsely accusing someone of disbelief is a grave sin and brands the accuser a disbeliever. No person can tell if someone is a believer or not. Leave the judging up to G-d. People need to seriously think on how great a sin that is before they...

    Muslims: Can someone explain this to me?

    I'm not talking about studying madhabs academically, I'm talking about women's studies. I have studied the topic of rape academically. I have absolutely no interest in discussing theology with a Salafi but your misogynist posts will not go unchallenged. Don't use a tone argument with me, you...

    Muslims: Are Women EVER Responsible for Rape?

    Prove it. Give me some reputable studies that show that what women do or wear has anything to do with her being attacked. I'm not going to hold my breath here, though. Just because the reality doesn't fit in with your narrow misogynist worldview doesn't mean it's not reality.

    Muslims: Are Women EVER Responsible for Rape?

    Given that most rapes are committed by a male against a female who have known each other for at least one year and the rape occurs in the woman's home or other residence where she feels safe while she is wearing clothing like jeans or sweatpants or pajamas and the rapist doesn't even remember...

    Muslims: Are Women EVER Responsible for Rape?

    The only time a woman is responsible for rape is if she is the rapist.

    Muslims: Can someone explain this to me?

    And again, you've got to be ******* kidding me. It's uncouth to insult Sufis and Shi'as. Remember your religion says that good manners are extremely important. I don't blindly follow anything despite being a Sufi. And speaking of blind following, have you studied this topic academically...

    Muslims: Can someone explain this to me?

    You have got to be ******* kidding me. And knock it off with the hating on Sufis and Shi'as, it's just uncouth.

    True Muslims: Sunni vs Shia

    Sufism is the esoteric inner path of Islam; we are the heirs of a very ancient and beautiful mystical tradition. You can be Sunni or Shi'a or any other sect of Islam and be Sufi, but Shi'a Islam seems to be more open to Sufism. Some groups try to split Sufism from Islam and personally I feel...

    Muslims: Can someone explain this to me?

    G-d forgive us and show us mercy, even though we don't deserve it. Someone needs to let this "imam" know that actually Muslimahs and any other women who dress modestly are more likely to be targeted by rapists. This might be triggering so I am putting my explainifyin' of why this is under...

    Islam and the Documentary Hypothesis

    Thank you for explaining. I suppose on some level that it's incompatible, but not for me.

    Islam and the Documentary Hypothesis

    I'm not sure I really understand this concept. Is it just a way of finding and visualizing the author(s) and source of the texts in the scripture? And do you mean incompatible with the Qur'an as well as with Islam?

    description of god - gnostic style

    This is a very topical thread for me, I'm currently studying the Secret Book of John because I am becoming increasingly and exuberantly convinced this myth is in the Qur'an and fits in perfectly with my religion. I'm confused why you think you can't build a relationship with G-d, that's what...

    The goal of Islam

    The goal of Islam is to prepare our soul and spirit to return to G-d. IKR. But, pshwah, what would we know about our own religion.

    Hell in Islam

    There's not a poll option for my answer. Hell is Earth and we all experience it. Some for longer than others, and some maybe until Earth and matter cease to exist and then who knows.

    True Muslims: Sunni vs Shia

    That would be accurate. Divide and conquer.

    True Muslims: Sunni vs Shia

    When I say ethnicity, I am referring to actual ethnic groups. I'll even throw in the obvious and say tribalism has its large ugly hand in a lot of this strife. I am Muslim Punjabi, for example. There's a lot of strife between Punjabis and Pashtuns and we're both mostly Sunni Muslims...
