Welcome! Sounds like you've found a good path for yourself. :)

How has your family handled your leaving of Christianity then joining Islam, if you don't mind my asking.

I have, yes.
Half of them didn't care and the other half literally disowned me and said "I had fallen into the hands of Satan".. lol

I know, I thought about it sounding "kind of weird,". And you're right, that applies to Christians, too. (The Christian religion I belong to, avoids all conflict, even government-sponsored.)

But tell me....when you think of terrorism, what religion comes to mind? At least where the leaders promise their followers that they'll get rewards for it? Not even Christendom promises that. Notice, I did put in the proviso, "professed".

It is all the matter of a frame of reference, there would be many children that were put to and lived in Terror within the Christian community, all the while having to put their trust in those, that should have been trustworthy.

There would over the years been many that faced terror as they expounded a different view of mainstream Christianity.

All Faiths have people that have God and the virtues, all Faiths have a minority of men that distort those teachings that brings terror to humanity.

No religion promises reward for killing unless you get your knowledge from the media.

Now guys, I think the debates section might be the place for where some of this seems to be going. Let's not take his very first thread downhill, at least.

I agree with you, wholeheartedly! And to me, all who are told by their religious leaders that it's ok to kill, then these followers are misled, and belong to a fake religion, one that doesn't have God's approval. -- 1 John 3:10-15. That would just about include all of them!

But I think it's particularly heinous when religious leaders say they'll get rewards for doing so, even while committing suicide! That's encouragement to kill, not reluctance.

I'm sure Mikail Hakeem agrees. And I'm sorry for the way I came across. Again, welcome. I look forward to discussing other matters with you in other threads.

This is meant to humiliate you to Allah if its authentic. Allah and the Angels are righteous. Allah is a male, though my mother is a sinner, but she says shes honorable. I can't stand completely for anything except the Quran.

If we stand completely for Allah, through the Message of Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him), given in the Koran and by authentic Hadith, then we know we are not exalted above any other man. Humility is our adoring, submission to Allah and Allah's will for us. Service to humanity is our given bounty.

I am. Because mikail don't talk to me. He's under me. He's ignoring me. Ignoring is for ignorants. Ignorant are not refined.
