IF the QURAN PROHIBITS MUSLIMS FROM "ACCEPTING" people with beliefs other than Islam, should you accept them?

The 1st verse you mentioned : 3.85 , Yes if some one don't take Islam as a religion it wont be accepted from him&#92;her in the Doom Day , and Wont be accepted by God. \nTRY TO READ EXPLANATIONS BEFORE MISUNDERSTANDING VERSES \nAnd For Muslim in the life time WE Must Accept ALl Religions according to : \n109:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful \n\n[109:1] Say, "O you disbelievers. \n\n[109:2] "I do not worship what you worship. \n\n[109:3] "Nor do you worship what I worship. \n\n[109:4] "Nor will I ever worship what you worship. \n\n[109:5] "Nor will you ever worship what I worship. \n\n[109:6] "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion." \n\n2nd verse you mentioned , Fight ONLY who Fights us , NOT Who are dealing in tolerant way , according to : 60:8] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. \n\n[60:9] GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight you because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish you. You shall not befriend them. Those who befriend them are the transgressors. \n\nAnd Paying "Giziah" or a some of money is only for those from other religions who lives in a Muslim country and Don't participate in defending the country, Now a days it's not taken from other religions as the army of the country consists of all religions. \n\n3rd verse you mentioned , If you try to know who are addressed with the verse you would have understood ! , this verse was addressed to hypocritical people who lived in prophet Mohamed time,and making fake things about Muslims and have a great evil in their heart against the others. \n\n4th verse you mentioned: The link is fake ! and so i cant even understand the verse as u take the part which u want and leave the rest ! \n At Last , Better to Read the Explanation of the Quran and also Try to know who are addressed by the verses .

I would never question the right of anyone to practice whatever religion they wanted (as long as they didn't interfere with someone else's ability to have the same freedom).\n\nAs a non-Christian (and by the way not all non-Christians are atheists, it doesn't break down that way) we understand that your 'hell' is the worst place imaginable.  The ultimate punishment for the worst crimes against humanity.  Am I right?\n\nWhy wouldn't we be offended if you hated us enough to tell us that we are going there?  How would you feel if I told you that you deserved the worst kind of punishment in my social club just because you don't belong?  Its not because we believe in hell, its because we believe that you believe in hell.  \n\nI'm pretty comfortable that I'm not going to hell anyway.  Just because I interpret the bible differently than you do doesn't make me evil.  There are people who read and learn from the Bible who don't call themselves Christians and I'm one of them.   I believe that God accepts all forms of love.  \n\nThere are some wonderful people who call themselves Christians but Christianity is neither the only kind of love nor is it exclusively a loving bunch of people.\n\nAfter all, isn't that the real message.  Love.  Peace.  Brotherhood.  Isn't that what Jesus' teachings are really all about?  I just can't get into the 'my-group-is-better-than-your-group' way of interpreting the great works of religion.  It only spreads hatred and Jihad and Hell, right here on Earth.

Muslims want to run their country with the quran, not democracy. If the quran says to kill christians to get to heaven, thats what they will do.

no, its wrong to judge people if they dont think like you do though. put your foot down in a nice way. tell them that you respect their religion but its just not for you.

thats our freedom to chose religion in our islam \n\n29( Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers )Al-Kahf | 110 verses\n\nthats i think its the real freedom to who says we want all to be muslims

To be honest with you I don't know. I am not familiar with the religion. Would I discriminate against a muslim? No, I have no problem with people just because they don't share my beliefs.

Yes, I think so.  If people can put aside their biases and stop letting one incident determine their view of a religion.  If people could learn to respect each other's differences in faith and realize that no matter if a person is Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or whatever we are all seeking salvation from a higher power and that at the hour of our death we are judged on our actions throughout our life. If people could let go of the idea that their religion is the one truth then there can be peace between religions. \n\nWilliam, ignorant people like you make me sick!!  Islam teaches that Allah did not mean for everyone to be Muslim, because if that's what Allah wanted it would happen.

A very good question. Thanks for the verse; I didn't even know that was in the Quran. I would be interested to know how what the Muslims say on this one.

Quran provides absolute freedom of belief. Though a Muslim has a duty to spread the message of Islam to others, it is upto them to believe or not.\n\n"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in GOD has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And GOD heareth and knoweth all things. " Quran 2:256. \n\n"Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): " Quran 18: 29. \n\n"And if your Lord had pleased, surely all those who are in the earth would have believed, all of them; will you then force men till they become believers? " Quran  10: 99.

everyone believes they are right, and also feel that others should believe the same. the problem isn't that there is no tolerance. Take Christianity for example, if you believe and I don't, you go to heaven and I go to hell. on the other hand, for fundamentalist denominations of Islam (some of them) feel that if you believe and I don't, then I will go to hell, but YOU will go to hell if you don't convert me. so that certain aspect doesn't help things....

no, it's forbidden for a muslim woman to marry a man with a diffrent religion other than islam. but a muslim man could marry a woman that was christian...

I agree with you.  I consider myself a Christian, and I say this with as much respect as possible: it doesn't really matter what God's opinion is on the subject because the Constitution guarantees everyone's right to religious freedom.  That includes Jews, Muslims, Baptists, Atheists, and yes, GAY PEOPLE.  I live my life according to God's law, but that does not give me the right to tell someone else how to live.

YOU MAY BE FROM ANOTHER RELIGION I DONOT KNOW\nBUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO OTHER RELIGIONS\nAND YOU SHOULD READ THE QURAN BEFORE SAYING ANYTHING

Its really not right to judge another person whether Muslim or non-Muslim, its really just between yourself and Allah, Allah will forgive who he wills and punish those he wills, if you believe you have repented enough for your sins and do not committ the same sins over again then Im sure you'll be forgiven. And as for the deen, i wouldn't worry about what the rest of the muslims think/say about you its your relationship with God, not your relationship with other muslims that makes you a righteous person.

yes indeed should be respected. \n\ni have no problem with decent non Muslims who don't insult me or my religion out of ignorance and bigotry.\n\nas for the rest i pray for them.

Quran is not saying at aaaaaaaaall in any of its verses to kill non Muslims or those who doesn't believe in Allah , in these verses , it's very appealing that every body has the full right to believe in any religion: \n\n [109:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful \n\n[109:1] Say, "O you disbelievers. \n\n[109:2] "I do not worship what you worship. \n\n[109:3] "Nor do you worship what I worship. \n\n[109:4] "Nor will I ever worship what you worship. \n\n[109:5] "Nor will you ever worship what I worship. \n\n[109:6] "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion." \n\nAnd to make sure , Here's a translation of the Quran in English , hope it helps  : http://www.submission.org/Q-T.html
