I heard once that ALL TRUTH IS REVEALED BY ACTION. Later it dawned on me how profound this expression is, well beyond its face value.\n\nIf a man tells his woman that he loves her, but cheats and beats...which is the truth, what he "SAYS" or reality. What he says or what he DOES (reality).\n\nIf someone never tells you they love you, except for the fact that they love on you (nurture you, call you, put oil in your car)...does the absence of their words mean they dont love you?\n\nAlmost all armed conflict today is rooted in Islamic religious demands. If you watched ZARAQAWI on TV the other day, what did he say? "WE WILL ESTABLISH SHARIAH LAW AND AN ISLAMIC STATE". Look almost everywhere, where theres conflict...philipines, Uzbekistan, thailand, Dafur, Somolia, Kashmir...\n\nWhat is true about Islam, what some western apologist Muslims SAY it is, OR reality?\n\nOhh, and guess what...the Quran is chock full of hate and genocidal commands to murder infidels...what a coincidence.

It's a neat trick isn't it this one, like hiring hitmen and saying you had nothing to do with it because you were in church or mosque that day!

Surprisingly, the question that yoy are asking to make fun is true. Muslims try to show only certain areas of their teachings to other people. There are certainj verses in Quran and certain hadiths told by prophet Muhammed that are mistranslated or poorly trnaslated on purpose.

Did you say you just wanted A rational reason?\n\nAll of Allah's messages were given to Muhammad(PBUH) through al-Quran. Why do Muslims think this al-Quran was not made up by Muhammad(PBUH) himself?\n\nSimple, first and foremost, Arabs called Muhammad as "al-Amin"(the Honest) at that time, because they knew that Muhammad(PBUH) never lied. This was his natural characteristic (telling the truth). Because of this, it would be illogical to believe that he lied about al-Quran, since he never lied in his life. He was not a liar, and this statement was agreed by the people who lived in his period even though that people didn't follow his teachings.\n\nSecondly, Muhammad was illiterate. The contents in al-Quran are incredibly arranged in beautiful manner, linguistically and grammatically, and this is approved and agreed by many artists and experts in literature, so, it would be impossible for Muhammad to create al-Quran by himself, since he didn't know the art of writing (he couldn't even write!).\n\nThirdly, the perfection of the teachings of Islam. Islam is not just about worshipping Allah. It's about the way of life. It covers every single aspect of life, including science, economics, politics, treatment to the followers of the other religions, marriage, lifestyle, fashion, law and order and many more aspects. It's simply just about everything! So, could you imagine a person who could invent a book that is as complete as al-Quran all by himself? Name one writer who could do that. I challenge you.\n\nI'm sorry i gave you three reasons when you asked just one. So those were actually three of many reasons why we believe that Islam really came from Allah the Almighty. It is just impossible to believe that a man created it.\n\nSupplemental: Bravo, .....! I'm sure that explains a lot to those who are ready to open their minds and in the process of finding the truth(not just try to provoke hesitance in the hearts of others). Nevertheless, I don't think international will choose yours (.....) or mine to be the best answer after all. I've been observing his behaviour the past few days, and i dont think he's the kind of individual who wants to find the truth, instead, he only wants to provoke hatred and hesitance towards Islam, and the worst thing is, he may want to decrease the confidence of Muslims towards the truth of Islam.

No. I tried very hard. Verse by verse. The more you read the more convinced you are of the cover-up. Religions (islam and judaism as well, not only christianity) are scams. Why do you think everybody writing against religions is under a ton of threats? When you hold the truth you are not afraid of anyone talking about it...are you? If you are running a scam...you behave like they do now with DaVinci Code movie out. They are afraid so there's your answer about truth and the bible and the nothing in common they have.

I think the truth is in all of these place and in none. I know that sounds like a bunch or philosophical garbage, but bear with me.\n\nLet's assume there is a God (or gods) who created the universe (and by extension, Earth and all of us). Let's further assume that the divine creator(s) decided to communicate some universal truth and wisdom to us, and that this is what actually made it into a holy book somewhere (meaning that there is validity to at least one religion, and that all religions were not necessarily created by power-grubbing people). Most religions preach that God is good and loves us. Most relgions preach that we should try as hard as possible to live in peace and harmony with one another. If this is the case, why would and God give the truth to one group of people and not another? If people are spread all through the world,then why would people thousands of years ago in, say, Israel or India be any more deserving of the truth than people anywhere else?\n\nFrankly, I don't think God "chose" one group of people to recieve the truth and misled (or allowed to toil in ignorance) all the rest. This would contradict the idea that God is good and wants us to get along. What would make sense (at least to me) is that the universal truth is way, way bigger than any mere mortal could possibly grasp, so God wouldn't try to give all that truth to one person (it would be like explaining to your dog how to build a house - you could lecture all day, but he still isn't going to understand!). And what primitive, stone-age people could understand would be much less than what we modern humans can understant (we just know more about the world and ourselves, learned through experience over thousands of years). An all-knowing God would understand this, and might give some part of the truth to one group and another part of the truth to another group. That way, both groups have a good start and neither has been deceived. And as an added bonus, when those 2 groups meet up in a few thousand years, they'll need to come to some kind of understanding as to the differences in what they believe. People from Group A will need to understand the beliefs of Group B and accept those as valid (unless they just want to fight with each other, which doesn't seem to be what God's interested in). Eventually, Group A and Group B could find a shared value system that encorporates both groups' beliefs, thus bringing both groups one step closer to the whole truth, and at the same time working together peacefully (which, as I said, seems to be a theme in most major religions). \n\nSo, where is the truth? It's in all the places you mention, because God inspired it to be there. But it's in none of these places, because no book could ever hold all the truth of God or the universe. The real truth comes in understanding as much as possible and not taking any single viewpoint as being the only correct one. Only God has the single, ultimate viewpoint, and no religion can mimic that. Look for what is common - common to many religions, common in many people, common in many societies and ways of life. This is where the truth lays.

yes, however, the bible doesn't tell you everything. its been changed many times that there are barely any more truths left in it, no offense. i suggest you read the translation of the quran. its interesting, try it

I think he is saying what he has been brainwashed to beleive.  Althought, I do know that this is what true islamic faith means.\n\nI am just amazed at this... There are so many people supporting Muslms, but Christians are the worst people to have inhabited the earth...

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. According to the Quoran, An infidel is a Non-Believer. So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of their faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct? I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of other faiths, or leaders of Protestant, Baptist, etc. to do the same in order to go to Heaven! I also have a problem with being a friend to a Muslim when they and their fellow Believers are telling their followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?"\n\nJust curious.

Well, I'm a muslim woman and I used to think that what I received was bad too.  Then I found out that Islam does speak of the "ones who can see clearly" and realized that it was a gift.  It didn't even surprise my father in law the first time I made a prediction in front of him.  All he said, because it was about my husband, was "Love begets love, it's a gift.  Don't be afraid of it".  I think that thought changed when, in front of everyone but my mother in law, I predicted her death."  My husband said to me "F--- you.  Quit playing these f---ing games with my head".  A few days later, she died of a stroke in her sleep.  My uncle has told me I am just like my grandmother, who was also clairvoyant.  My husband has also learned to listen to me.  Just recently, I saw my own mother's death.  I just want you to know that true "seers" don't ask for it.  It just happens.  We can't predict what we want to predict, we can't demand answers for everything.  It comes when it comes and whatever it is, good or bad, we have to deal with.

This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam\n\n[Qur'an 5:3] \n\n\nInvitation to Islam\n\nIf we would like to know whether a religion is true or false, we should not depend on our emotions, feelings, or traditions. Rather, we should depend on our reason and intellect. When God sent the prophets, He supported them with miracles and evidences which proved that they were truly prophets send by God and that the religion they came with was true. \n\nThe true religion can be found by answering three questions: \n\n1. What is truly the literal word of God, revealed by God? \n2. Who was truly the last prophet sent by God? \n3. What truly is the religion from God? \n1. What is truly the literal word of God, revealed by God? \n\nThe literal word of God, revealed by God was revealed 14 centuries ago. It mentioned facts only recently discovered or proven by scientists. It is beyond reason that anyone fourteen hundred years ago would have known these facts discovered or proven only recently with advanced equipment and sophisticated scientific methods. \n\nSince the literal word of God was revealed by God, no one has been able to produce a single chapter like the chapters of the literal word of God in their beauty, eloquence, splendor, wise legislation, true information, true prophecy and other perfect attributes. The smallest chapter in the literal word of God is only ten words, yet no one has ever been able to meet a challenge to produce the like of it, then (1400 years ago) or today. \n\nThe verses in the literal word of God mention future events which have later come to pass. \n\nThe literal word of God speaks about the stages of man's embryonic development. How could anyone have possibly known these stages 1400 years ago, when scientists have only recently discovered these stages using advanced equipment and powerful microscopes which did not exist 1400 years ago. \n\nThe literal word of God describes the structure of mountains that modern geology has only recently confirmed. \n\nThe literal word of God mentions the origin of the universe. Someone who did not know something about nuclear physics 1400 years ago could not be in a position to find out from his own mind that the earth and the heavens had the same origin. \n\nThe literal word of God describes the cerebrum. Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last 60 years. \n\nThe literal word of God describes the barrier between the seas and rivers. This information has been discovered only recently, using advanced equipment. The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet nor the division of water in estuaries. \n\nThe literal word of God describes the structure of clouds that meteorologists and scientists have only recently come to know. Their modern ideas on meteorology were dominant 14 centuries ago when the literal word of God was revealed. \n\n2. Who was truly the last prophet sent by God? \n\nWhen God challenged those in doubt, to produce one chapter like the chapters in the literal word of God. Some of the disbelievers who were enemies of the last prophet tried to meet this challenge in order to prove that this prophet was not a true prophet, but they failed to do so. \n\nThis failure was despite the fact that the literal word of God was revealed in their own language and dialect. In addition, the people at the time of the last prophet were very eloquent people who used to compose beautiful and excellent poetry, still read and appreciated today.\n\nMany miracles were performed by the last prophet by God's permission. These miracles were witnessed by many people. \n\nBefore his mission as a prophet, the last prophet had no financial worries. As a successful and reputed merchant, the last prophet drew a satisfactory and comfortable income. \n\nAfter his mission as a prophet and because of it, he became worse off materially. Two

I am not going to answer about the 9 year old wife of the prophet Mohamed because I know nothing about it. Instead I would like to direct my opinion to AIRASAE. \n\nAirasae, this is an open public discussion and anything can be expected out of it except lewd and foul contents. Nobody is trashing or crushing anybody. If one man's truth can not be your truth just give them logical answers instead of paranoia. If some disturbing questions would rise up against Islam, every muslim would say that Islam is being crushed. Have you ever noticed the countless time Christianity have been crushed with words, thoughts and bombs. But what comes into our minds would often seek the answers to a belief different from ours. \n\nThey say Islam is a religion of peace, but look around you. Bombs here, bombs there and bombs everywhere not even the third world was spared. If western cable companies report what transpires in the muslim world, you say that they do biased reporting. Do you think respectable, world class cable TV stations stay a long time if the world will know that they are trying to do false reporting? They will be out of business in no time. \n\nIf Islam is really a religion of peace truth will surely come out and no one can ever stop it. So, why so worried, be paranoid and overprotective when you can't do anything about it because people have eyes to see, ears to hear and brains to analyze and finally decide. \n\nIf I were a muslim, the first thing I would do is to really try to understand why innocent people including women and children are being targeted. This is not Jihad, this is a crime against humanity. Just imagine the whole muslim world went crazy over a cartoon made by one dumb christian and yet nobody gets crazy over what suicide bombers are doing. How Ironic can it be?   \n\nIf christians would bomb public places with no exactly logical target but innocent people, I would voice out a loud cry to go against those who perpetrates such crime because it simply is not acceptable. I will protest against my fellow christian suicide bombers until my people will get the message and join the protest because to me they are not freedom fighters but mere criminals. Do you see why we don't have such martyrs? It is because to us they will never be martyrs nor freedom fighters nor jihad fighters because to the Christian world, it will always be a heinous crime if they will kill muslims that way and every christian soul knows that.\n\n\nTO BEYOND EVENT\n\nShould I believe because you said so? Read between the lines. If ever it really happened because you said so, then you have first hand knowledge not me. If you are a muslim, educate me for being so naive. Collateral damage was coined in the 20th century and made popular by Mr. Schwartzenegger and it was a nice movie. I just wonder what they call it during Napoleon's time.

I have to say I got a bit lost in your question, but i see you are sincere. Some people only spend time on pointing out hate and war towards their neghbors and demand to get loved for their)(fake)righteousness! Others, live life by their heart and demand nothing, you can hate them and they will accept it like it is just part of God's plan. They will still love you no matter what you do to them. \n\nYou choose who you follow. I follow my heart and look for those who do the same. You decide what is deception and what is true, not a book or a man. Only you hold the timeless key of truth.

I do not think, I am sure that you do not know what you are talking about.\nI have checked the reference you gave , you know what...? I could find nothing as you were referring to...\n\nI see some of our friends on the board, approved your words...blindly, without taking the trouble to check..\nIf that what you were looking for , you did succeed. Happy now.\n\nIt is clear that you are not looking to learn or for the truth. Are you so much scared, of you and others, to know the real true Islam?????
