I love this Muslima her ideas on Islam. How she explains it, I could be a Muslim, I think. Very refreshing.
She fights for the freedom to have a personal relationship with Allah
Do not impose your ideas on others. Leave others free in their interpretation
No need to have Imaams teach you the...
NRC=Dutch Most trusted newspaper & NOS.nl=Dutch best news site ( I trust not much, I do trust these)

Mainly claimed by people who have chosen it more convenient to not believe in the verses in the Qur'an, the hadiths or the Islamic scholars regarding hijab.
This is a misconception.
But if we pretend for a moment it isn't - or try to excuse ignorant Muslim women for not wearing a hijab...
I believe in God, and at this point, I've decided that if I were to follow a particular religion, it would either be Christianity or Islam; these two seem most likely of all the religions I've studied to be true. Yet, I'm conflicted about which one of these is true and unable to make up my mind...
To my Muslim friends on the board -
In the US there has been some outcry about Ihan Omar's comments about Israel - whether right or wrong - we can debate that in the political forum - BUT i as a somewhat biased individual wanted to ask this question and see what the answers are:
Other than...
I came to understand and appreciate the beauty of Islam by studying it through the lens of the Hadith of Jibreel and then reading a translation of the Qur'an. And thank goodness for the podcasts on Muslim Central and SeekersHub. I am looking for suggestions of other resources, in print or...
Below is a mauquf Hadith (taken from the saying of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)’s companions). If you read the original Arabic letters of this hadith and compare them with the English translation already circulated around, then clearly you will realize that the hadith is not talking about Khurasan at...
Pakistan forced Geert Wilders to cancel Muhammad Cartoon Contest by "murder threat"
1 Amsterdam Imaam called to protect Geert Wilders, but Muslim organisation CMO did not agree (spoiler 6)
Personally I think Freedom of Speech should not be used to irritate on purpose. But the issue here is...
Can "My BeliefSystem = the only way" ever be "The Truth"?
Truth = That what does not change and is the same for all [IMO]
To illustrate this:
"1 + 1 = 2", can it be "The Truth"? Maybe in octal/(hexa)decimal counting, but not in binary.
"My BeliefSystem = the only way", can it be "The Truth"...
This was very interesting to me, because the guy in the video (a Muslim named Subboor) says that Muslims should not support the Intelligent Design argument and gives his reasons why. He's incredibly well read!
I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts (from both camps)!
Why Christian countries should beware taking in Muslims refugees
Koran 5:51:
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides...
Koran: 5:51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not a people unjust.
1: Muslims believe the Koran is the...
What made you one day become an atheist/ Agnostic?
What is your views on certain religions?
What can we do about fixing the misconceptions about atheists and agnostics?
Etc.

“God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization.“

How is everyone doing today?
So this is my first time using this forum website, and i thought i reach out to those who are in the same position as i am. i feel like typing this would be to long.
So I made a video, talking about my views on religion, as well as my past with it, and why I'm...
Hey all,
I am doing a project for my cultural anthropology class about the impact religion has on day to day life. I believe that religion has a significant impact on every aspect of life. To prove my theory, I am conducting a survey to see how much a persons religion impacts their general life...
So I'm not trying to start a debate, I'm trying to understand a position different from my own. To all the Muslims here how would you defend the claim that Muhammad was a pedophile? Also, if Allah is merciful and loving, then why does he condone the killing of Christians and Jews in the...
Qur'an (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]” Qur'an (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. Qur'an (4:24) and Qur'an (33:50) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage.
Women aren't as intelligent as...
Do Muslims believe Jesus to have originally been a law bearing prophet?
I was wondering how widespread belief in Jesus as an originally law bearing prophet is amongst people who nominally adhere to Islam is
