All you're giving is information; there isn't a specific subject to debate upon. Moved to the Lounge.

I think he trying to tell you that Islam is a religion of Peace and that muslims are not terrorist but in fact believe in the opposite. Terrorists say they are muslims but aren't behaving the way an ideal muslim would.

Movies dont relly help much either.
In Syriana, they basically said that all muslims are terrorists.  I don't quite understand it.

Exactly but people still believe in it. Bush inserted terror in the coin slot and people are afraid. Why is it that when an african american committs a crime it is a big deal and we are afraid of them but when a white christian does something no one hates all chrisitians? Why are race and religion blamed and bad mouthed when one person goes awry?

My true goal on this thread is to get people to understand the facts of Islam/Muslim religion. That everything that is fed to you, rather it be a teacher, the media, heck even a pastor/priest sometimes isn't gonna be true. I was in a thread where a specific member was degrading Islam, it showed me that he/she was not informed about Islam. So I wanted to quickly make a thread with nothing BUT "facts". |

Its ridiculous.
If a believer of Islam did something wrong, people goes against these religion + people. Same thing with culture, if a Black man did something wrong, people goes against that race. Yes, it's strange. I guess, it how the media display people. No, Im not insulting anyone. Im talking about the majority. |

Obviously, Islam is not a religion of violence or terrorism. But the fact that people are using Islam to justify such types of actions is sad & degrading, IMO.
Good thread

Look first off I am a chrisitan and I see this everyday of my life. It is an actual issue not of religion or race but of soceity today. |

I don't know if this is too early to ask, but may a Mod pin this thread? Or make it a "sticky"
If not, I totally understand, I would just like to spread the knowledge to those who search for it.

Ugh...i'm design staff..totally stepping over my boundries again.Anyways.. We can't make it seem like we're partial towards one religion. We would have to pin all the other threads based on religion to make it fair. But you can always make a really giant link in your sig. Thats what I do a lot. Totally the media. |

In fact before I converted to Muslim, I had to stop drinkin alcohol, smoking uh... you know "mary", and stopped wearing jewelry (precious metals atleast). Also to anyone that wants to pick up a Qur'an I recommend going to your local Mosque and pickin up a Qur'an that's translated by Abdullah Yusufali. This translation is accurate.

This is pretty blatant proselytizing if you ask me.
Insofar as I know, there are really no rules against this in our guidelines. But, I'm not going to lie. I'm damn tempted to close this.

Why are you tempted to close this? He is not trying to convert people. He is merely informing the general CB population about Islam.
Why wasn't the thread closed about the war over in the middle east? It wouldn't be fair to close this. |

How can I force someone to convert over the internet? I don't understand? I'm only informing the forumboard of Islam, many people have been misguided and misinformed.
I'm confused... there's no forcing of anything on this thread, people can even ignore this thread if they'd like, and that's their free will to do so... or am I wrong? |

QUOTE(Sherlock. @ Sep 5 2006, 9:11 PM) Why are you tempted to close this? He is not trying to convert people. He is merely informing the general CB population about Islam. [Alright. I just quoted a bunch of passages from the articles he has linked, but I accidently closed that window. So, the summary instead!] No no no! He is trying to convert people! Just look at his links! Read some of them. They are blatant proselytizing. Several articles are dedicated to "Judgement Day" and describe how unbelievers will suffer and believers will be rewarded by God. An article called "The Reality of this Life" appeals to our emotions to accept God and damns nonbelievers. QUOTE Without correct faith, deeds are worthless, and are of no benefit. God neither needs nor benefits from deeds. In fact, He is the One Who sustains all His creations, not people who think they are helping them out of their compassion. It's actually God Who benefits the doers of good deeds by permitting them to deliver His allotted sustenance at any given time, for if they disdain, He will deliver it through other means and then THEY may gain merit through it, provided they have faith and correct intentions. QUOTE God reveals Truth first and foremost for the very straightforward reason that when you die, He is going to judge you by that standard. If you rejected that standard, and knowingly did not conform to it, you will have destroyed yourself by your own hands. Everything you believe, intend, say, and do, will be accounted by God according to what He has revealed and made obligatory for you to act upon and to which you should organize your value system. QUOTE In fact, God stresses that His proofs and evidences are so overwhelmingly abundant and straightforward, that to deny them constitutes the worst crime a human being can commit, resulting in eternal Punishment, that is, Hell-fire. Not trying to convert us? Not proselytizing?! Uhhhhhmmm.  These are not expository writings. This is gospel! If he wanted us to understand Islam he may have been better suited in citing Wikipedia. This is just a bunch of John Edwards revival crap. Honest to goodness, I would close this crap.

I'm going to go ahead and close this. This is blatant proselytizing and meaningless and direction absent conversion tactics.
If anyone (Staff and non-staff) has any (whatsoever) serious objections, disagreements, disputes, suggestions, comments, please PM me. Thank you. Closed. |
