One-answer, I was once in your place. I was a Sunni Muslim and I was OK with the fact that God hated the polytheists and will roast them in hellfire for eternity, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY WERE. I used to tell myself, "Well if those polytheists want to save themselves then they can just do that by...
Sorry I agree with Looncall. Islam never stopped slavery. Read on the Net and you will see many learned Islamic scholars support slavery. They claim that slaves can be freed but never said that it should be abolished.
And if you think that you are expiated from your sins of enslaving someone...
So just because they sell themselves you will allow it? And sorry most people who are slaves are coerced into it. Why do you intentionally turn a blind eye to it? I am repeating again ISLAM DOESN'T WANT TO END SLAVERY. If that was the case the Muslims would have done everything to even prevent...
Unitarian Universalists comprises of people of all beliefs, including atheists. And pagan religions like Hinduism is only concerned about righteous deeds rather than gaining salvation by worshipping Hindu Deities.
When did I deny they didn't? But not always. Ask anyone around and they will tell you that slavery has existed in Islamic lands up until the modern age. That might be like hundreds of years. But if it were not for contemporary movements slavery would have still continued. Freeing slaves is an...
OK by giving the example of pork I just wanted to say you don't have to be nasty like your enemies. Sparing the innocent family members is a sign of humanity which befits a superior religion, as you claim Islam is. Yes slaves were freed but the Quran never says that slavery is fully forbidden...
OK then from where do you get slaves? The Hadith clarifies that it is both from the marketplace and war. Sorry, but you already answered your question, which I noticed late. The Muslims took it when the enemies did. Yes the Muslim's enemies eat porks so they should too. But isn't Islam a...
If God thinks that human beings should die because of their bad deeds then they shouldn't be created in the first place. Why bother letting them get born, grow and suffer?
Nobody to look after the women? What about the men who never participated in the battle? Couldn't they look after themselves and the women? Agreed it was for the past but why a rule applicable for the past included in a book meant for all eternity? And the price to be looked after (for the...
I am no longer a Muslim Maldini :). And in many cases Muslims prioritise the Hadith above the Quran. Like praying five times instead of three, stoning adulterers and killing for apostasy.
I really have problem with the methods by which the hadiths were considered genuine. But the scholars seem to be OK with that and even genuine hadiths condone bad stuff. But the thing that perplexes me that there is no existence of sources about Muhammad's life other than the Hadith so I have to...
You said that freeing slaves will create chaos. I just gave the solution for that.
I have heard many arguments for condoning slavery and none of them seemed rational or humane. And you didn't reply to my refutations against your points. Sorry sugarcoat all you want that it's equal rights and...
That's right Brickjectivity. They will grow to give a sexy pout:flirt:! By the way I advice not only to clean your ears but also to wear glasses because my name is Draupadi, not Draupali.
It is the men who took part in the battle, what was the fault of the children and women? And why rape them just because they were non-Muslims? I am sorry first you say that Islam allows freedom of slaves and that slavery is heinous, and now you support it? At least now you confessed your real...
