"FIGHTING IS PRESCRIBED FOR YOU (muslims), and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html#002.216\n\nAllah apparently is trying to get Muslims to override the conscience or senses he gave them. What a filthy filthy conception of "God".

For the last damn time. These are MEN that are writing this crap and butchering Islam. The same thing they did to the Bible. I have Muslim family members and was raised as a Muslim. I do not practice now, but I cannot say that I am not  a Muslim anymore, because once a Muslim always a Muslim in my book. You cannot take back shahadah(surrender to Allah) \n\nThose idiots who are bombing and so forth are just hiding behind Islam to justify what they do. No where does Islamic belief state that you go to heaven for killing yourself and others because of jihad(struggle) These people are not martyrs.

I always thought that converting people to Islam, is against the faith.  Basically, a muslim lives the faith, and shares the faith with someone if he/she desires the knowledge of Islam given through the Quran and its teachings.\n\nBe careful,  An "I'm right, your wrong attitude, especially communicating it across like that, is a sign of narrowmindedness and pride.\n\nI am not muslim, not for a reason against Allah or against the Quran, but because I do not studied enough information about the Quran yet. I have not read and studied it enough yet.  I have rescently downloaded it, and have begun reading it though.  It is very enlightening.\n\nI have studied Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew to correctly analyse the bible.  And I use many Greek and Hebrew concordences to understand the original meanings of the jewish and christian scriptures.\n\nPersonally, I do not believe it is most advantageous for any religion or faith, to protilize(try to convert others to there religion;but simply live it, and share it with others only if others ask questions, witha sincere honest intent.\n\nThe Quran has enough scriptural evidence in itself to defind itself without individuals having to attempt to defend the quran and Allah.\n\nI have alot of respect for muslims.  Especially the questions and answers this new person of Yahoo Answers gives out - her name that she presents herself with is Muslimah (I think).\nShe has my admiration and respect.  She has a humble and contrite spirit and mindset.\n\nI do believe Jesus to a messenger of God as well as Mohammad.  I've been reading that in the Quran, Mohammad states Jesus to be a messenger of God as well.\n\nForgive me if it appears I am judging you harshly. I am not trying to judge you,  I sincerly always do my very best not to judge others and other faiths.  But I do recall Mohammad refering to Jesus as a Messenger that spoke Gods, that is Allahs Truths !!!

I believe you should make dua to Allah and ask him for forgiveness and to make it easy for you to avoid this wrong from your life,seek the advice of a trusting Iman to see if he can help you through this weakness and don't post such personal questions like this leaving it open for the above people who are enemies to the laws of Allah (may he guide them as well) to use as there board to express there hate rd and further move you from the right path.  I will remember you in my dua.  Asalamu a lakum

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter." (Sura 5.33-34) \n\n"Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah." (Sura 8.12-13) \n\n"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [i.e. non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Sura 8.37) \n\n"Muster against them [i.e. non-Muslims] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to Allah." (Sura 8.60) \n\n"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73) \n\n"When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgement is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly." (Sura 17.16-17) \n\n"We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our Might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Sura 47.4) \n\n"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Sura 48.29)\n\n__________________________________________\n\nPeople perish because of the lack of knowledge.

What utter nonsense.  As someone who has read the Koran, as well as many other sacred books, I have to wonder at the ignorance of your question.  Why haven't you actually read the holy books of Islam? Shall we look at Muhammed's own words?\n\nWarning:  Many pages of the other awful things Muhammed encouraged could be shared, and will if you wish and ask, on any topic under the sun, or moon as the case may be.\n\nBukhari:V4B52N220 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.’” \nQur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.” \nQur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.” \nIshaq:326 “If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.”\nQur’an 8:67 “It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughtered in the land.”\nIshaq:588 “When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.” \nTabari IX:42 “We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.”\nIshaq:326 “Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.’” \nIshaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’” \nQur’an 7:3 “Little do you remember My warning. How many towns have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them.”\nIshaq:510 “When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.’ He used to say this of every town he raided.”\nBukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!’ [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.”\nBukhari:V9B87N127  “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.’”\nIshaq:517 “Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle’s squadron, fully armed, powerful and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.”\nTabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”\nBukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive.”\nTabari VIII:129 “After the Messenger had finis

well, what i understand abt this is...\nevery religion teaches to be a good human, in whatever way aim of all religions is same. its just a matter of different ways any religion puts it in front of ppl. n these ways makes difference in ppl's attitude.\nbasic problem with few Islamic ppl is, they r obsessed with their religious way n beliefs, but not serious/aware abt essence of it. As I say, religion teaches to be a good person, but same thing can any religion try to put from rules, regulations, beliefs. N mostly all will agree on his that in any religions, all beliefs n few rules that were particular to past are out dated. In any religion, islam, hindu, or other major. Its just matter of how much flexibility any religion has in its way of conveying the essence of life. catholic has more flexibility, then other major n last is islam abt flexibilty n freedom. so, catholics becom as point of hate. \n\nAs we see, few Islamic ppl have built an attitude in them that finds every changing thing in this world as opposite to them. Same time, other religions r victims of this attitude. Christians, hindus n others r facing it well right now. This upside down attitude makes these ppl feel insecure n offensive.\n\nIt’s a community grown up in islam world, which has serious problem of attitude, though they a educated. Their mind set has taken a dirty shape which smells every new edge stuff as challenge to islam. That’s what, US is on the top of the things their attitude hate. To add to this problem, as far as I have seen muslims around me, most of them being religious have an inherent attitude of infiltration. Infiltration, in terms of all…social rights, infiltration in rights of other religions, infiltration in occupation of all kind, area/in social resources. Becoz they want their religion intact, n more strong as they have upside down attitude which sees any thing as its attacking them. n infiltration, taking illegal ways in society, they don’t bother abt laws, this attitude is heavy on their mind as fight for their survival n impose their religion more. These ppl have unnecessary mind set n attitude in life to bring religion as most imp thing n force fully impose it, these community take religious beliefs more imp than economical/educational, social growth of ppl. Few Islamic countries/ppl who give more imp to economy n human growth r away from this sick attitude.   This upside down attitude n nature of social infiltration is root of problem, n is unnecessarily staring fights in this world. Other educated, economy participants, socially growing ppl don’t have this upside down attitude built in them since they understand life more better way n right way ti lve in this time.\n\nThis attitude is causing problem, every where… US, UK, India….its regardless of religion n its more to feeling of rest of the world being offensive to their religious beliefs. \nPoliticians had tried to cover up this sick attitude growing in muslim world, by taking advantage of situations like afganistan. Politicians pretend n instigate on islam as a peaceful religion but the bottom line is more n more population is coming under this sick attitude. n time is proving that muslims r drowning in this attitude but they cant help themselves more than just giving justifications, instigation n utilizing opportunities of proving themselves as all clean face. Rather they shuld try to catch up the rhythm of rest of the world, world economy n social growth. Contries like Pakistan, afganistan, iraq, few others in asia n Africa r of same level of ppl getting their minds more n more in sick attidue, they shuld take a opposite turn n implementing islamic essence of being as good human in accordance wth positively changing time.     \n \nIslam is not a problem, problem is few ppl who has given it a shape that causing problem for other reigions n even their own bothers, muslims (idirectly few innocents r blamed n under doubt becoz of silly act of few muslims).

Well, first of all I wanna make some things clear.\n\nsomeone here said that the devil has led them away from jesus by tempting them. now, the DEVIL makes people sin right? now, why should the devil lead them to islam? in islam we respect jesus as our prophet, we even have on e whole verse for marriam (or mary). what is so satanic about that? isnt sex a sin in christianity? then why are most of them from "good christian families" doing it so openly? \n"CONVERT OR DIE"? theres no such things. Our prophet mohamed (p.b.u.h) respected the non-muslims, and didnt force them. in our holy book theres a verse that goes " ...you go your way, and we go ours..".\n whos gonna kill these people if they dont convert? your just saying these dumb things to cover up ur insecurity\n\npeople convert to islam, beacause they have found the truth for themselves.\n\nthe reason that people attack this fact buy saying the devil this and that is because they are insecure.\n\nread harun yahya, mauriche bucilles and ahmad deedats books.\nkeep an open mind and read these books before you say this and that.\n\nso far, i have never heard of a muslim converting to any religion and preaching.\n\nOverall, i think its best we stop attacking each other, and learn to respect each other. religion is somthing for yourself, what you believe is sacred in your heart. so the more you question the more you try to make excuses it means youre insecure. peace

You and your site are full of bullsh*t... people these statements where not in the Quran and you should check other sites for the correct info about Islam.... not some fag who is bored and is trying to insult Islam in any way possible

I guess the concept of self defense can be expressed with one sentence. So I am not sure why the Quran needs to ramble on about war and violence ad naseum? Maybe its not about self defense.

AGAIN Islam hater!!\n\nall the Muslims who answered your question said the same thing. we are not the ones to JUDGE!!\n\nget it?\n\nhow about you practice your religion and let us practice ours and the CREATOR and JUDGE will Judge between us on the day of Judgment?! is that too hard for you?

I got the joke... it's not all bad.\n\nBut I don't know if it is such a good idea to joke about this. It may seem strange to us today that there should be ANY limit on free speech. But this is THE BOTTOM to push if one wish to engage a Muslim in a death dual.\n\nThe law of their religion is full of sins punishable by death. Not unlike our religion BTW. The difference is that, they still feel obligated to carry out that punishment.

you're right. it's TOTALLY against the Qur'an and God's wishes to self mutilate one's body.  Shi'ite who do this are way off the mark.

HIS DECISION  MIGHT  EFFECT HER  EMOTIONALY.I DON'T WHANT TO INPOSE MY IDEA ON HOW PERSONALY I FEEL ABOUT THIS,IT WOULD BE A SELF CENTERD OPINION OF MINE, AND THATS WRONG.EVERYBODY HAVE THERE OWN CHOICES TO CHOSE WHAT THEY LIKE.

i don't think all the muslims in this site are recieving money to correct what has misunderstood about muslims. \n\nand apologists for what? i think muslims are the one who need apologies. \n\nabout murder, terrorist, child molester ...etc. \n\ndid you know that when he started to spread his message. people went against him even much worse than you did. \n\nyour problem is not Muhammad. your problem is understanding who is God is. that's the problem for many people. they have draw an image about God in their mind and said "whatever dosen't fit that image in my mind cannot be my God!".\n\nMuhammad had tender heart toward womens, orphans, poor, captive of wars, neighbour (even if he was not muslims), peace to those who came for peace, forgiving, loving. \n\nYou should not hate Muhammad, but you have to love him instead. He does not do things from his own. He does what God commanded him to do without questioning God. He put his life infront of Death, he put his life in risk calling people toward God. because the Hell isn't a joke. He wants to save as much people as possible and God told him:\n\nQuran ch28\n[56] Verily you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) guide not whom you love, but Allâh guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.

Thanks for this new miracle of The holy Quran.\nBut these passive answers(without contemplation) make me remember this verse:\nALLAH says"AND INDEED WE HAVE PUT FORTH EVERY KIND OF EXAMPLE IN THIS QURAN,FOR HUMANKIND.BUT,MAN IS EVER MORE QUARRELSOME THAN ANYTHING"HOLY QURAN\nI think the ppl should be more open minded.The holy Quran contains a lot of miracles,indeed it is miracle itself.ALLAH illustrates the life in this Quran.Without this Holy Quran,i would be lost!!!!!!Alhamdullah for this method of life.
