You sure are----rather than having a decent discussion about Christianity ,you start attacking Islam--A technique used by those people who cannot debate
Media is not my only source. There is the Quran, the Hadiths, the Sunah, History, newspapers, tv, conversations with many muslims, google, islamic websites, anti-islamic websites, the state of affairs now, etc
Still it appears you don't even know 0.00001% about Islam
I don't feel insulted at all by my ignorance. Ignorance is not a crime. The crime is in remaining ignorant.
Yes you still remain a ignorant---you are self-righteous----misguided etc
My parents are Buddhists. Like most parents of other religions, they gave me freedom of choice. I started off as an atheist, then Buddhist, then Christian. It is Islam that forces parents to force their children to "blindly follow in their footsteps".
Touchy---and how does "Islam that forces parents to force their children to "blindly follow in their footsteps"---might be helpful if you quote the scripture here
No problem. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, far surpasses any sura in the Qur'an.
Says the guy who haven't read Quran--lol
and we know how bible "surpasses any sura"
you know what Christian scholar say about bible "it is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy"---most of the parts of bible are fabricated and just to prove that there are thousands of contradictions found in bible
so how does Bible surpasses Quran when it has thousands of contraindications including (scientific,mathematical & historic)
Many call themselves Christians but are not. Christians follow Jesus Christ. Jesus shunned politics. Bush did not shun politics. Ergo Bush is not Christian.
Many call themselves Christians but are not. Christians follow Jesus Christ. Jesus never killed; not only that but he preached against killing. IRA murdered. Ergo IRA was not Christian.
Then same can be said about those Muslim---why the double-standards
It says no killing period! OT was over and done with. NT says no killing period! I blame Islam because they always shout, "Allahu akbar!" when they kill. They were doing it in God's name! What is it in Islam that makes it so easy to manipulate people, i wonder. Sure there were crazy christian preachers too (Jim Jones of Jamestown massacre), but so very few. Its harder to twist a book when its message throughout is love. I blame Islam because the Qur'an is so easy to twist. The examples of Mohammad and the Caliphs just adds fuel to the fire. The internet is the right tool to expose everything to the light of truth. People are now more educated. They will know how to choose.
And guess what , even the educated people kill for example Hitler---he passed school/collage but killed millions of people---and if education solved the problem then why America which we assume is very modern/educated country in the world but has the highest RAPE/MURDER/ROBBERY rate in the world
And Internet tool to expose then why is Islam the fastest spreading religion in world
According to American media "every year 20,000 people convert to islam in amercia alone
According to EU media "Isalm is the fastes spreading religion in Europe"
That quote was for the children of isreal - the jews. The Qur'an can be interpreted in many ways. The way of love loses out most of the time and Mohammad was the best example of this.
There are tons of verse which says not to fight , have mercy on others etc
The Quran is replete with killing verses. "Context" is what muslims use to excuse it.
"Oh, that was in self-defense." or "Oh, the other side broke the treaty first." or "Oh, they were in a state of war at that time". Christians have no excuse. Jesus Christ didn't kill. Jesus preached against killing. Real Christians DO NOT KILL!
Ok we dont make excuses---you put those verses here with the full context , we will see who is wrong or right
also you forget to read those verse in bible
According to the “Bible” God tells Moses and Aaron to go to the Midianites and kill all
the men, then take the booty, take all women and children back to their encampments, then kill all the mothers (because they had sex), then to kill all the boys, and finally to take all the virgins as slaves: 13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
[KJV Numbers 31:13-19] Stone them to death who leave your religion for an infidel religion:
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
[KJV Deuteronomy 17:1-5]
Stone them to death who try to convert you to another religion:
6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
[KJV Deuteronomy 13:6-10]
And yes according to Bible you should follow Moses(pbuh)
Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
