    What is Pantheism?

    All things have devolved from the same cosmic divinity in essence. They appear different to us because the degree of various attributes they have imbibed from the All-Reality differs in proportion from one thing to another. For example all numbers are made up of sums of one, and their different...

    Muslims do not worship the same god as the Christians

    Oh I see what you guys were talking about. Muslims don't call translations of the Quran as exactly the Quran, because they don't possess the unique sacred character. Rather these are usually referred to as interpretations or translations. The situation is different from the Bible where the...

    Muslims do not worship the same god as the Christians

    What are you talking about?? I think you have a misunderstanding. There is only 1 Quran.

    Islamic sub-sects

    Sufri is not Sufi. Sufri is a Khariji sect which is no longer in existence.

    Critic on Islam

    I believe that the idea of Pakistan was a foolish idea but that has nothing to do with point I am raising. If you are trying to correlate the fact that Pakistan couldn't progress because it has Muslims I will disagree. Behind Pakistan's failure there are a large number of politico-social...

    Critic on Islam

    The same can be said of many 'religions/ways of life'. If you read history then it will be crystal-clear that all kinds of 'ways of life' have been used as an excuse for all kinds of bad things. Take a look here for the social changes that originally Islam brought about. The wheel of time...

    Critic on Islam

    The Quran doesnt claim credit of anything. You follow the Quran correctly and you will do good. You dont follow the Quran correctly and you will do bad. I think you have a misunderstanding regarding the Quran.

    Critic on Islam

    You are right about a material difference between crime rate and reported crime rate. I was just pointing out some facts, in the hope that the OP will also point out some facts. Also I feel that the correlation between religion and development is not an easy one to analyse though and cursory...

    Critic on Islam

    Care to provide some facts to substantiate your "observations". I am not saying there are entirely wrong but there may be more then religious reasons behind them. I did a quick google search and according to this site the United States is the country with the highest reported crime rate. And...

    Critic on Islam

    Sufism is just a label, but the reality behind that label is precisely to follow the way to God (according to Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) teachings) with all of ones heart. That means not only following it outwardly (in rituals etc) but also internally (conquering one's ego, repenting of bad things...

    Muslims: Keeping the wife "in line"

    Neither do most Muslims in India.

    Siberian court considering banning Gita

    See this post. This is a most ridiculous display of intolerance by a court in Russia. It seems to me religious intolerance is increasing there. I am not sure of the reasons why, or whether it is connected with the same ideas which led to the the burqa ban in some European countries.

    Is Wahabism not true Islam?

    (Assuming by jihadists you mean militant Islam) This is something which I would say is stretching the reality a little. Osama bin Laden etc may have been influenced by Wahabism though. I guess he and his supporters took a more violent interpretation of Wahabi thought which is ultra conservative...

    Hundreds of Shia Muslims mark Ashura in Leicester

    I dont think you should say "celebrate". Rather your question should be: Why shia "mourn" it in a very bloody way? I think only some do that (youth with little knowledge who get carried away) and the majority does not.
