    Interesting article on Catholicism

    Has the papal office ever offered some type of recourse when it comes to usury (seeing as it is a pretty well integrated part of most nation's economies)

    What are the values of moderate Muslims?

    Seyyed Hossein Nasr likened the Qur'an to a tree that bears fruit. Within it is wisdom and guidance for all manner of humanity. A man who is not capable of looking at it in depth still is able to taste the fruit that comes from following and reading the book, but as one commits and finds them...

    What are the values of moderate Muslims?

    Hassan al Banna said "A Muslim should strive to attain a strong body, good character, cultured thought. He should be able to earn a living, have pure belief, and correct worship. He should be able to control his desires, be careful about his time, organized in his affairs, and beneficial to...

    Would the world benefit or not if it were all to follow the same religion?

    If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! (Surah Yunus Ayat 99)

    If the Abrahamic God(s) Were Human...

    (Not to get too off topic) And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do ye vex and insult me, though ye know that I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you?" Then when they went wrong, Allah let their hearts go wrong. For Allah guides not those who are rebellious transgressors...
