Hi, Im new to the forum, this is actually my first post, and i feel i should speak my mind about the musls comments,
I was a born musl, turned athiest, I do not believe in God, but i have read the quran, the torah and the bible,
Muslims are, believe it or not, very peaceful people. There is a small handful that commit the heinous acts that are seen on the news, and those are the only ones that people see. When was the last time something good about islam was put on television? the news focuses on the negative because musls are considered to be our enemies during this war.
I read in this thread, someone mentioned how musl’s are baby killing, bus blowing up savages, or something along those lines. Yes, there are musls who have killed people, there are musls who have blown up buses, but at the same time, there are musls who are trying to stop all of this. Also, Muslims are not the only people who have murdered, The IRA have blown up buses, THe Lords Rebilion army has Kidnapped many children in Uganda and forced them to fight in a war that they have no part in and so forth,
If we hated musls because they have killed before, then we must in turn hate almost every race on the planet, because they too have killed.
And to the person who said that the if the bible was like the quran the world would be chernobyl, i have a few quotes for you (taken directly from the quran)
If anyone slays a person
- unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land -
it would be as if he slew all people.
And if anyone saves a life,
it would be as if he saved the life of all people.
Qur’an 5:32
Goodness and evil are not equal.
Repel evil with what is better.
Then that person with whom there was hatred,
may become your intimate friend!
And no one will be granted such goodness
except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,
none but people of the greatest good fortune.
Qur’an 41:34-35Goodness and evil are not equal.
Repel evil with what is better.
Then that person with whom there was hatred,
may become your intimate friend!
And no one will be granted such goodness
except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,
none but people of the greatest good fortune.
Qur’an 41:34-35
“Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors.”
The quran is actually a very peaceful book, it teaches people to love one another, and to help, one of the five pillars of islam is charity, Most of the people who have quoted the quran for their terrorsit actions have mis interpreted it, or dont even care about what it is saying,
Thats all i have for now,
For a first post, im probably gonna regret this,
