Can we question Islam, the Koran and the Prophet?

We can, and should, question everything.\n\nThese include Islam, Christianity, and their bibles. We should question science and their dogmas too.

Though I am a Muslim, I do not think a conversation about a prophet should go down to this level. In fact, we should not talk about just anybody this way. It is not funny either. What happened to respect and limits?

YES\nACCORDING QURAN ALL THE MUSLIM MUST BECOME TERRORIST TO PROVE THEIR HOLY WAR ...

Is that a question?\n\nthe answer is we are here for God's Glory\n\nI read the Koran  and  find the Bible to be the more credible.

I do.  Ok, haven't you seen it?  It's true!! And I have read the Koran.  I didn't see where it forbid the depiction of the prophet.\nBut even if it did, why are the muslims trying to make non muslims obey THEIR laws.  They are violently pushing their religion on those that choose not to follow it.\n\nI support the right of anyone to believe, print and draw whatever the heck they want!  And if the muslims are offended, tough, that's life.

www.prophetofdoom.net\nLook at the quotes, then download a copy of the Koran and look them up in context to be sure.  Look at Muhammed's own words on the subject.  If he's lying about his own religion, they are in real trouble.\nDon't even confuse Islam with a religion of peace.\nFew religions are religions of peace (Buddhism comes darn close).\nMost religions have gone through a reformation or two and don't take their Holy Books so seriously.  When was the last time you saw a Christian stone someone as it says in the Bible.\nIslam still hasn't been through a reformation of the sort I'm referring to and takes it's book quite literally.  Remember that the terrorism of the attack on the Twin Towers was cheered by more than 70% of Islam!  There was partying in the streets!\n\nRead Muhammud's own words on it.  Believe Muhammed.

Do Muhammed taught you to attack 2 towers full of civilians? and to attack shrine of an Islamic sect? and to rediculate Buddha and prevent churches from being built and ppl from have their worships or being athiests? Look pal, I know all that things and I m attacking Islam to exchange Ideas, but I'm NOT attacking Muslims. I discuss idesa in Islam itself who believe in them. if you don't believe in them, so it's fine.\n\nYes, I have right to attack any ideology including religions. I have right of free speech as long as I'm not violating laws. as long as I'm not encouraging hate against ppl, but against ideas OK.\n\nHowever, in these days, I decided to stop mentioning Islam and attacking Islam beliefs, but guess what? you came to attack...now who's attacking? Is Yahoo answers free of Islamic attacks on other religions? Before you put any conclusion go search 4 yourself. by the way, Jesus is God, and we don't need to pray on him!! so no PBUH!!\nFeb 23, 2006 at 12:14 pm\nAh, BTW, old frog!\nI forgot to tell you that I'm enjoying very nice free environment here in USA and discussing Jesus and these beliefs.

True muslims should get offended because Jesus is considered a major prophet in Islam. \n\nFanatics won't, but they are really not true muslims.

In Qoran all prophets are named and accepted especially Jesus. There is a big section hailing Virgin Marie. All Muslims accept Jesus as a holy prophet & in no way detest or deny christianity.\n\nIn Islam they believe prophets are normal people gifted to guide people through. Therefore there is no son of god thing. Even Muhammad lived & died like a noble man. He was famous before becoming a prophet for his truthfulness & honesty & he was of a royal Arab family just like Jesus himself.\n\nWhat is it with which prophet is better or worse? We all worship the same god through different channels! With or without religion. Isn't the main aim of each religion love towards humanity???

(i got this from jenova..see question :If Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet who can not lie ,how do you explain Jesus claiming to be God?)\n\nThe Qu'ran and The Bible were not written by God, nor by the Prophets. The Qu'ran itself were written later after the Prophet's death by Scholars using route memorization of Islamic texts. \nThe Muslims believe that the Bible was pure until it was corrupted by the Christians. They believe it has been changed to suit the needs and political gains of several Christian rulers in the past.\nBecause of that, the Qu'ran, the last message from God to humanity, through the Prophet Muhammad, was sent down to correct humanity's mistake.\nThis is seen as an act of mercy that God did this even though people had changed the Holy book.\n\nThus, they believe that Jesus (whom they call Isa), did not lie, nor did whatever he spoke was wrong, inaccurate or blasphemeous whatsoever, they believe that the people who first recorded the Bible did so in earnesty, and later it was changed, distorted to suit political and ruler's needs.\n\nBecause of this, they do not read any part of the Bible, they do not believe in any part within it because they now believe that everything written in the Torah and Bible is already written in the Qu'ran.\nAs a result, if you told them tales of Jesus which they know little or nothing about unless they were converts to Islam from devout Christians, they would dismiss whatever you are saying by the simple excuse - The Bible is changed.\n\nI myself am still researching on my part the claim by the Muslims as to how the Bible was changed. I believe in one searching for the truth using your heart and mind instead of just believing whatever one hears, to clear doubt and gain knowledge.\n\n(my note: honestly,this question is not suitable to be in here coz everyone thinks that their religion is the right one without ever consider why these things happen. thus, the answer will irrirate the one who r not ready to seek the truth behind al this. this is a good question but in a wrong place...i mean, the people cannot just give opinion about things like this, they have to have evidence or whatsoever to support their claim.)

(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.

Well if u take Jesus as prophet then there will be  no confusion...if he was God why havn't  he saved himself, If he was son of God,why didn't God  save him,and thre is no point in getting killed for other's sins.simply Jesus(pbuh) was  a prophet , and we muslims are at peace by believing this

As you may have already read here, Muslims consider Jesus as a prophet of God. They call his "Isa". Quran acknowledges he has performed miracles to convince his people he was indeed the prophet of God. But it also states that Jesus will deny he has asked people to worship him on the day of Judgment.\n\nSee some of my other answers\nWhy do Muslims says Jesus Christ is a prophet?Does Mohammed have a record of miracles he has done on earth? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013010601\nDoes the Koran say anything about Jesus? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006012004182\nShould Christians believe in Mohammed? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013106005\n\nRegarding sin, Islam do not recognise concept of orginal sin in which everyone is born in sin. Sincere repentance is required for forgiving of sins. Animal sacrifice in islam is not directly related to sin forgiveness, but is usually performed related to Eid_al-Adha(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha )

Ain't that one heck of a lot of Questions, Sir?\n\nT o simplify matters, Sir, if we begin on the premise that Allah is the "Maker" and you are the "User"; then you have no choice at all in the matter.\n\nIslam does not permit any choice to it's Members; except to follow it's rules or pay the price for violation which, in some cases, is Death.\n\nHave a nice day.

I believe, that the Koran's definition of "Infidel" is someone who does not believe in Mohammad as the Prophet of God.\n\nHave a lovely rest of the day.

I have no reason to disprove the Quran it is your job as a person trying to convert me to prove that you are right and at the same time prove that I am wrong. If you cannot make a case for both then you should not expect converts.

Tell us a bit more about him.  Is he a prophet or a religious leader?  Is he the author of a religious book?\nThanks for the added info.  No, I can't say the name rings a bell.  Sorry and good luck.
