Is the Arab World's explusion of Jews news to you?

The contradiction in the story is clear. They said she was married when she gut pregnant. If she was married and no 2 eyewitness then no case.
If one person see here, he should have kept his mouth shut, If he tells that she was doing, nobody will believe him.
The fact is she wasn't married but she become pregnant. This is a very strong evidence, even stronger than 2 eyewitness but they didn't apply the law. The question is Why ? what saved her ?
One witness is never believed in Jewish Law (except to tell you a food is kosher). Even if she came to the court and admitted that she committed adultery, they would kick her out no matter how much proof she brought. That's how Jewish Law works when it comes to capital punishment.

Its entirely possible that the whole town knew it. Maybe everyone saw her husband leave on a trip for a long time and then all of a sudden she is pregnant even though her husband didn't return yet. In the meantime, maybe people see a certain soldier going in and out of her home all the time. No one has to see them together in order to know what happened.

But for Jewish Law to apply that's not going to be enough to get her stoned. The court may tell (or force) the husband to divorce his wife and consider the child a possible-******* with regard to who they'll allow him to marry. But that's it. Without two witnesses to see the act, they can't kill her.

Taking people from worshiping a human (king). This is Muslim mission.
We remove regime then person become free to choose. No Compulsion in religion.

This is not as you think, If you mean bad habits, yes Allah warned us in Quran not to do on personal level.

No, LImo. What I mean is that it is incredibly arrogant to even consider telling people to "leave worship of a man for the worship of God".

You don't even know whether there is a God. Sure, you say otherwise. That is quite arrogant in and of itself.

And to then say that there is no compulsion in what you say... well, I guess it shows that Islaam does not understand religion and actually admits it. There is compulsion in Islaam, but not in religion.

It's a free forum. right ?
If we're limiting comments to people who cares, you should be the least person to comment on such relegion discussion. Right ? :)

Quite wrong. I care about mistakes lent significance by those who do not know better. They can be very harmful, particularly when those who commit it actually believe they are entitled to decide what others (read kuffar) should believe and do.

I have a right to defend myself from the arrogance of theists. That includes pointing out that they are wrong and over-valuing matters that are both insignificant and unsolvable.

In truth, Islaam gave me that right and even the need when it made itself both theistic and proselitist. It is not much of an exageration to say that Muhammad gave me that right.


In such ethical societies that leaves according to Allah's law, what you call "accommodating husband" is called cuckold,pander, pimp, procurer

Thanks for admitting that Islaam does not understand nor teach ethics.

Even neighbors, religious people don't stay silent
Which shows that Islaam teach people to chose between obedience and compassion. That, too, is a shameful thing, but a a nice one to point out.


Such allegations don't simply go like this
I am not sure which allegantions you refer to here.

and then Rabbis are repeating these allegations for centuries in books

Assuming that you mean the Talmudic teachings that mention Jesus in some way, it would seem that they pretty much have to "repeat their allegations", since both Muslims and Christians insist on asking them to have some instance.

I don't think they like to, but the world is such that we have to accomodate for the needs and demands of others.

There should be a good reason to shut everyone's mouth. The explanation is in Quran only. The child talked to all and set his mother innocent. The laws wasn't applied, they set her free but Rabbis kept the allegations in books.
This is why these are lies

Do you realize that what you say above does not even attempt to make any sense?

You expect people to admit that they are lying simply because that would mean that the Qur'an is not wrong.

The contradiction in the story is clear.

No, quite on the contrary. There is no contradiction whatsoever in both having a law and not always enforcing it. It happens all the time and it is often the moral thing to do, be it due to lack of sufficient proof or simple compassion.

Law is inherently a dangerous thing, and should be used with great care and a generous amount of forgiving and reluctance.

If you truly do not realize that, then your ability to understand things must be put into serious question.

Knowing that Mary was an adulterer is one thing. Knowing with enough certainty to accuse her when her husband has accepted it is quite another. Doing so when the likely punishment is fatal is bolder yet.

People can't be expected to be consistently cruel and unforgiving just because the law says so. We are not supposed to want to be monsters.

It's not me who asking everyone to care about his belief.

Will you isist on your opinion if you read the statement again.
I mean the Israel's society at that time.
But also it's applied on Islamic society under Allah's law as well.
What you're saying "accommodating husband" who sees others in his bed is ethical society.
But jealous husband is non-ethical.
What a society you're looking for ?
Which shows that Islaam teach people to chose between obedience and compassion. That, too, is a shameful thing, but a a nice one to point out.
It's about Israeli's society at that time which also applied for Islamic so city living under Allah's law.

I don't think somebody asked them to respond. Vice versa in 1592 Pope asked to destroy Talmud's copies, later on the refrences to Jesus was removed from new copies.
Do you realize that what you say above does not even attempt to make any sense?

It's your openion.
I expect no one to admit the story. I just demonstrate the story in Quran.
And say: "The truth is from your Lord." Then whosoever wills, let him believe, and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve.
No, quite on the contrary. There is no contradiction whatsoever in both having a law and not always enforcing it. It happens all the time and it is often the moral thing to do, be it due to lack of sufficient proof or simple compassion.

This is excellent for 21st century western society driven by plural agreement and acceptance. Keep it up till you make incest legal soon.

We're talking about Israeli society who lived according Allah's law.
 

The Emperor of Mankind

This is a high exgegurasion my friend

Judging by the context, I think the word you're looking for is 'exaggeration'? :)


Once you're under Islamic law you can even take the Caliphate to court

The same is true with legal systems in the West. The difference is you're less likely to be declared a heretic, infidel or kafir for doing so. The problem with Islamic law is non-Muslims face laws being forced on them based on unevidenced, bold empty claims that they hold as having no weight whatsoever.


The Islamic judge system is a role model

It's a role model in the continued observation of why theocracies are never a good thing. Nothing more.


Pagans in India were under Islamic government for centuries and still majority
Greece, Italy, Romania, Serbia,,,, still Christianity majority till date

That's certainly not for a lack of trying on the part of many Muslim rulers. With reference to the first thread I linked to in my list, Muslims have a tendency to not respect the beliefs of polytheists.


By the way Othmanies Caliphate was not the best among Islamic Caliphates

Just a few seconds ago you said Islamic judge system was a role model.


Taking people from worshiping a human (king). This is Muslim mission.
We remove regime then person become free to choose. No Compulsion in religion.

First off, Zoroastrians did not 'worship' the shahan shah. Zoroastrianism posits the existence of One God (and it isn't the Persian King!). At most, the King of Kings was a kind of high priest or intermediary who made sacrifices to Ahura Mazda (the god of Zoroastrianism) on behalf of all of his subjects - probably at set times during the year.

And no, that is not what happened. When Muslims conquered Persia they actively prevented conversions at first because they preferred being able to subject the non-Muslims to the jizyah to get even more money out of them. It took centuries for Persia to become majority Muslim (last paragraph in that section). Even when this policy of discouraging conversion was relaxed by later caliphs, the jizyah remained in place and acted as a financial pressure for Zoroastrians to convert to Islam. If you apply a discriminatory tax to one religious group and not the other, that is compulsion to convert.

It is when you're condescending enough to tell people you know more about their beliefs than they do but you actually don't know. Zoroastrians worshipped the Persian King of Kings? Do you understand how ridiculous such an attitude would be if I said "Muslims worship a black stone" because you circumambulate the Kaaba and pray facing it?

Telling people about their situation is not wrong.
Entitling oneself to know more about their own beliefs, all the way up to deciding that God wants you to call them on the error of their ways, is very much wrong, or at the very least it is courting with arrogance so insistently that you can bet that you will be wrong very soon.


You yourself is asking for more, You're asking even for wiping Islam and Quran. Remember ?
Are you kidding? There is no comparison betweeh pointing out that Islaam is unworthy of attention and that the Qur'an has no religious value (my stance) and deciding that other people must be removed from their presumably false beliefs.

Are you perhaps lacking familiarity with the idea of saying things and letting others decide whether they agree and whether they want to act on it somehow?

I was responding to you saying that only Christians and Jews who should care about this story.
It's not me who asking everyone to care about his belief.
Christians, Jews and Muslims exist in the same world that I do, and we consume much the same resources.

Neither of us can afford to neglect the others' existence.

That does not translate into deciding that people are wrong and should be ready to learn what I have to say without question. That is arrogance, and also typical of Muslim proselitism.

Will you isist on your opinion if you read the statement again.
Definitely.
I mean the Israel's society at that time.
But also it's applied on Islamic society under Allah's law as well.
What you're saying "accommodating husband" who sees others in his bed is ethical society.
But jealous husband is non-ethical.
What a society you're looking for ?
One that understands basic ethical concepts and does not insist on hiding behind scriptures and legalisms. One that has and seeks to nurture moral courage.

It's about Israeli's society at that time which also applied for Islamic so city living under Allah's law.

Perhaps true, but not relevant except as a reminder that Muslims and the Jewish People learned to treat religious law in constrasting ways.

That Mariam did adultary
Thanks. I am still not sure what you mean by saying that such a claim "does not go like that", unfortunately. Do you mean that it should not have been made at all? If so, why not?
I don't think somebody asked them to respond.
Christianity and Islaam both attempt continuously to rewrite the history of the Jewish People, so clearly there was a need to offer some form of response to their claims.
Vice versa in 1592 Pope asked to destroy Talmud's copies, later on the refrences to Jesus was removed from new copies.
Which shows that the Jewish People were not safe from the Pope at that time, I guess.

Not sure what you meant to illustrate.

It's your openion. (...)
Actually, it is my personal witness of your clear, persistent actions.

"Opinion" is too feeble and partial a word to describe it.

This is excellent for 21st century western society driven by plural agreement and acceptance. Keep it up till you make incest legal soon.

As a matter of fact, I expect and support that, under very specific circunstances and cares.

I would never prefer to live under the oppressive belief of the need to fear God constantly and lie to myself all the time. Not even for a minute.

We're talking about Israeli society who lived according Allah's law.
It is quite the bold assumption to assume that Allah as described in the Qur'an is Y-H-W-H of the Jewish People. Or that their takes on the law should be presumed the same.

Not the same. President, Congressmen, MPs, Judges have special process. In some cases his party protect him from going to court.
In Islamic law, nobody is protect, normal process like anyone.
Who told you that ?
In Islam "No allegation without evidence" and the "prosecutor should bring the evidence not the suspect"
If historical stories will work with you, I can provide a lot but unfortunately id doesn't.
Being an infidal ior kafir in an Islamic state is different from going to judge for your rights.
Once non-Muslim is under Islamic Law, his blood, money, women are under Allah protection.

Allah said “O My slaves, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and forbade it also for you. So avoid being unjust to one another.” It's not for Muslims only.
The non-Muslim is considered a Dhimmi in Islamic state. Some people hate this name but the true is.
Dhimmi means in Allah's Dhimma i.e. In Allah guarantee and protection.

Prophet Mohamed saws said Whoever killed a Mu'ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling)."
Is it clear ?
Killing a non-Muslim under protection of Muslims punishment is forbidden from entering Paradise.

That's certainly not for a lack of trying on the part of many Muslim rulers. With reference to the first thread I linked to in my list, Muslims have a tendency to not respect the beliefs of polytheists.
We don't accept any belief but we accept people to live in peace.
Just a few seconds ago you said Islamic judge system was a role model.
I'm comparing between different Caliphates
There were many Caliphate states Omaween, Abbaseen, Othmaniis

First off, Zoroastrians did not 'worship' the shahan shah. Zoroastrianism posits the existence of One God (and it isn't the Persian King!). At most, the King of Kings was a kind of high priest or intermediary who made sacrifices to Ahura Mazda (the god of Zoroastrianism) on behalf of all of his subjects - probably at set times during the year.
Blindly obey a person is considered worshiping in Islam. No one is holy or should be dealt differently in Islam including Caliphate.
He controls people belief, stop people from change their religion, everyone in the kingdom is his servant. This is a worshipping

And no, that is not what happened. When Muslims conquered Persia they actively prevented conversions at first because they preferred being able to subject the non-Muslims to the jizyah to get even more money out of them. It took centuries for Persia to become majority Muslim (last paragraph in that section). Even when this policy of discouraging conversion was relaxed by later caliphs, the jizyah remained in place and acted as a financial pressure for Zoroastrians to convert to Islam. If you apply a discriminatory tax to one religious group and not the other, that is compulsion to convert.
I disbelieve it as any Muslim is looking for being a good reason for someone to convert to Islam.
It happened one day that a country ruler wrote to Caliphate Omar that people are converting to Islam very fast and he expects that the total collected Jizia will be less than last year.
Caliphate wrote "May your mother loose you, We're preachers not tax-collectors" and he fired him.
As I said earlier, Jizia is a fixed 2-4 Dirhams regardless of person's wealth but being a Muslim, He'll pay 2.5% of his wealth.

I've explained what does it mean worshiping in Islam.
Let me say it again.
Following a person who is a king or a religion head even blindly is worshiping especially if he's the only source of laws Haram and Halal.
This is considered worshiping.
Christians follow their Church head in whatever is said and consider it from Holy Spirit then it's from Almighty, this is considered worshiping in Islam

Same for, Some Muslims who deviate from the right believe and consider theit Imam/Sheikh/Governor the source of Halal and Harram

Some threads on RF remind me of why I think the world--and indeed including the Middle East--would be more able to coexist and more peaceful without every single Abrahamic religion.

This is one of those threads, unfortunately.

A particularly presumptious, self-entitled form of it, yes.

You're doing yourself. don't you preach to Atheism ?
I don't think so. I do defend the right to Atheism, which is something else entirely.


Most of people who are involved in religion debate tries to proof that other belief is wrong.
True... if they have spent too much time around Abrahamics, particularly Muslims. Not otherwise.

Most religions know better than to waste their energies with such a pointless goal.

In that respect, Islaam looks real bad when compared with true religions. It gives every indication of being either unaware of religion or else to be actually opposed to its practice.

It's about to attract the other to be convinced with your belief.
At any certain time, There is only one true belief.
That, there is no way to say it gently, is quite the childish, immature approach towards belief.

I expect the average 12 years old child to overgrow that attitude, unless he or she happens to live among adults that insist on keeping such an attitude and demanding it of each other.

it's your call
It is the civilized call.

All beliefs and religions are wrong except for Islamic belief.
A Jew or a Christian will say the same.
Most actually do not. People have the means to learn and grow in their spirituality, and one of the early landmarks is the ability to understand and respect the need for freedom and variety of belief.

If one doesn't say that, then he doesn't know his belief very well.
Very few people besides Muslims would even consider saying such a thing these days.

What I see, an atheist who is very anxious with Islam, somehow strong with Christianity, but very weak with Judaism

As one would expect. Reciprocity ethics demands people to give back in kind.

I'm sorry. You lost the native judge on moral and ethics.
You should be sorry, but not for me, and certainly not for whatever fantasy you mean to speak of above.

The only constructed way is to apply the Laws.
Laws are only tools. They are inherently inferior to the discernment and good will of actual people. That has always been true and will always be.

It will not go. If such allegations against Mariam is famous in town. Husband will not stay away from these rumors. He should have learnet by a way or another. Then he wouldn't keep silent.

That is presuming quite a lot about a community that is centuries removed from you and even from your scripture.

With all due respect, there is no reason whatsoever why I should accept that as having any truth to it. Particularly when there is so much evidence to the contrary.

They were not in est in 20-21 century.
True.

We Muslim, absolutely not.
Don't you even realize that you are putting the lie to that yourself? You created a separate thread for that very purpose very recently, even.

What is written in Judaic/Christian books and history is just for info has no credibility unless it agrees with Quran and Hadeeth.

I believe the Americans have a nice saying to use in such situations as this. Something about taking a ride, IIRC.

You are saying flat out that you will only believe the Qur'an and the Hadeeth... and you fail to see how offensive and ridiculous that is?

Right there, you are giving up on any expectations of respect towards your claims. You better be aware of that.

Other than the debate purpose for a very few Muslims like me. All Muslims are neither read, interested,,, of any of these books and belief.
Sometimes it's just for fun to say you what there is something interesting in previous books
That is not very difficult to see. And it reflects badly on Islaam and Muslims.

I wish more Muslims took that to the logical consequence, read more of the Qur'an, and learned of its true quality and limitations.

That would do a lot towards improving the overall situation of humanity, as people realized that they have been hoping in vain for the Qur'an to be far better, far wiser than it can even ever be.


My point is at a certain date, even Christians were not interested in Talmud stories about Jesus as a response to your saying that both were seeking to question Jews about Jesus
You seem to be somewhat confused about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity here.

Considering that the very Gospels make a point of slandering the Jewish People in order to further the myth of Jesus, the question is rather why Christians ever had any interest in the Talmud's view of Jesus...


Whatever.
I mean no agreement and if we keep discussing for years, you'll not change your mind.
I would like to hope that claims of divine exception will never convince me, indeed.

It is slightly annoying to think that people might mistake me for someone who could be convinced so easily, as a matter of fact. I would expect better. But I guess not everyone had the opportunity to learn about respect towards other people.

As I said you've lost the pure native sense of good and bad.
That is quite the piece of presumption. It would be insulting if I bothered to dive into such levels of immaturity, which I do not.

I'm one Muslim who don't translate Allah's name.
There is one Creator, his name is Alalh.
He's the god of all people.
Allah chose Mosa, Isa, and Mohamed.
Allah created the Ten commandments, said Torah, revealed Quran, revealed Injiil to Isa.

What you are saying is that you find it confortable to misrepresent Judaism and Christianity both in order to protect the claims of Islaam.

That is presumptous and disrespectful, and will be treated as such.

So do you believe that Muslims, Christians, Buddhist,,, are saved and will be in the same position as Jews in the last day or Judge day. (You understand what I mean without using your terminologies)

Is it your personal belief or this the Judaic belief and what is in Torah ?
Judaism does not have a concept of "saved." Judaism believes that Judaism is the proper religion for Jews but that others, if they adhere to the 7 Noachide laws, will be judged favorably. Islam, according to many authorities, is not inherently contradictory to the 7 laws so a Muslim, if he follows the 7 laws, has no problem.
---------------
from jewfaq.com, "Judaism maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the world to come. This has been the majority rule since the days of the Talmud. Judaism generally recognizes that Christians and Moslems worship the same G-d that we do and those who follow the tenets of their religions can be considered righteous in the eyes of G-d."

from wikippedia, "This view, however, did not preclude a belief that God has a relationship with other peoples — rather, Judaism held that God had entered into a covenant with all humankind, and that Jews and non-Jews alike have a relationship with God. Each nation with its own unique relationship with God."

Would it be appropriate to say the concept of “saved” or salvation” is different in Judaism then it is for Christianity? In Christianity it pertains to the afterlife. In Judaism it pertains to this life.

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation." (Isaiah 12:2)

Most religions know better than to waste their energies with such a pointless goal.

In that respect, Islaam looks real bad when compared with true religions. It gives every indication of being either unaware of religion or else to be actually opposed to its practice.


That, there is no way to say it gently, is quite the childish, immature approach towards belief.

I expect the average 12 years old child to overgrow that attitude, unless he or she happens to live among adults that insist on keeping such an attitude and demanding it of each other.


It is the civilized call.


Most actually do not. People have the means to learn and grow in their spirituality, and one of the early landmarks is the ability to understand and respect the need for freedom and variety of belief.


Very few people besides Muslims would even consider saying such a thing these days.



As one would expect. Reciprocity ethics demands people to give back in kind.


You should be sorry, but not for me, and certainly not for whatever fantasy you mean to speak of above.


Laws are only tools. They are inherently inferior to the discernment and good will of actual people. That has always been true and will always be.



That is presuming quite a lot about a community that is centuries removed from you and even from your scripture.

With all due respect, there is no reason whatsoever why I should accept that as having any truth to it. Particularly when there is so much evidence to the contrary.


True.


Don't you even realize that you are putting the lie to that yourself? You created a separate thread for that very purpose very recently, even.



I believe the Americans have a nice saying to use in such situations as this. Something about taking a ride, IIRC.

You are saying flat out that you will only believe the Qur'an and the Hadeeth... and you fail to see how offensive and ridiculous that is?

Right there, you are giving up on any expectations of respect towards your claims. You better be aware of that.


That is not very difficult to see. And it reflects badly on Islaam and Muslims.

I wish more Muslims took that to the logical consequence, read more of the Qur'an, and learned of its true quality and limitations.

That would do a lot towards improving the overall situation of humanity, as people realized that they have been hoping in vain for the Qur'an to be far better, far wiser than it can even ever be.



You seem to be somewhat confused about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity here.

Considering that the very Gospels make a point of slandering the Jewish People in order to further the myth of Jesus, the question is rather why Christians ever had any interest in the Talmud's view of Jesus...



I would like to hope that claims of divine exception will never convince me, indeed.

It is slightly annoying to think that people might mistake me for someone who could be convinced so easily, as a matter of fact. I would expect better. But I guess not everyone had the opportunity to learn about respect towards other people.


That is quite the piece of presumption. It would be insulting if I bothered to dive into such levels of immaturity, which I do not.



What you are saying is that you find it confortable to misrepresent Judaism and Christianity both in order to protect the claims of Islaam.

That is presumptous and disrespectful, and will be treated as such.

That I can understand. I wonder what else you could expect, though.

It is not like we had a whole lot of choice.

Would it be appropriate to say the concept of “saved” or salvation” is different in Judaism then it is for Christianity? In Christianity it pertains to the afterlife. In Judaism it pertains to this life.

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation." (Isaiah 12:2)
I think that is fair. While there is a concept of one being forgiven of sin so that the soul can enjoy the afterlife, textual references to defense and saving are about life, yes.

Allow me to ask you a question,

Which one is better ?
  • being non-Muslim
    • Pay fixed amount of dirhams (2-4)

You have no idea how much money that really was in that era. For many that was between 1-4 months of their income. Do the math.
  • Be Muslim
    • Pay 2.5% of your wealth
Lower than the above in percentage

    • No wine, no sex outside marriage, full abide to Sharia laws
    • Army service
    • Prayer, fasting, Haj
Religious commitments thus irrelevant.

In Islamic law, nobody is protect, normal process like anyone.

Suleiman the Magnificent had his first born son put to death without a trial based on the word of one person. Your system did nothing about it as just like any system, it looks good on paper but not a in practice.

In Islam "No allegation without evidence" and the "prosecutor should bring the evidence not the suspect"

See above.
