    Question for muslims

    The Quran and Hadith are very clear on this issue. The Quran states that heaven is eternal, and once someone enters it, will never have the misfortune of being turned out. Hell, on the other hand, is NOT eternal. It is a temporary place or condition designed to reform a soul. Although...

    Validity of Muhammad's message.

    Noone denies it. He was part of many wars, which resulted in the loss of life of many of his own followers and his opponents. But these wars were all wars of self defence, he never instigated a fight, and always showed mercy and compassion in every aspect of his life where it was right to do so.

    Validity of Muhammad's message.

    This battle actually occured in Medina, between the army of Muhammad (saw) and Amr Ibn Hisham, better known as Abu Jahl. Abu Jahl was a leader of Mecca, but he attacked the Muslim's in Medina. The muslim's were forced to protect themselves.

    Validity of Muhammad's message.

    Just to clear up a point here. Muhammad (peace be upon him) did destroy all the idols in the Kabah, but he DID NOT kill anyone in Mecca. Read a reliable history source. They are all unanimous on the fact that when Muhammad did march on Mecca, he conquered the city without so much as a drop of...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    I'm saying you gave statistics about aids in America then accused me of not showing the bigger picture when I did the same in support of my argument. Nothing perverse, just pointing out that if you initiate the argument by using stats about america, don't expect me to show you global statistics...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    You have asked me a question that forces me to respond from my religion of Islam. God is against homosexuality for a number of reasons. First of all, he is against it, as proven in the Qur'an, when it says God pretty much destroyed the people of Lot, whose main vice was homosexuality and overall...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    If everyone practiced the concept of no premarital sex, and only indulged in sexual behaviour with their spouses, then there is practically ZERO CHANCE of contracting an STD from sexual behaviour. On the other hand, it is still true that you can get an STD from sharing needles, blood fusions...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    Are you saying that you need the institution of marriage, or a formal marriage licence, to keep you faithful to your wife? Ridiculous, and the same can be said for homosexuals. If they do choose to be promiscuous, it's not because they can't get a piece of paper saying they are legally married...

    It's alrite...you don't have to be respectful if you don't want to ;)

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    I'm sorry, I seem to have completely forgot about addressing homosexuality and Islam. My apologies. Here I go... Islam, specifically the Holy Qur'an, gives us a warning about a previous people who also indulged in promiscuity and were openly homosexual: [7:81] And We sent Lot, when he said to...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    I answered this previously as well. Since God is not a human, why would he care about us at all? The answer is very simple. God loves us as a mother loves a child. If you see a child trying to put his hand in the fire, would you not try to stop it. Likewise, if you see humanity trying to do...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    I don't think you truly understand my stand, or the Islamic stand, on promiscuity, marriage and homosexuality. Let me explain, as I have done before... First off, the Islamic Concept: Men can only marry and have conjugal relations with women. They are not allowed to intermingle freely, as this...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    No, I didn't, but as you can imagine, America is a very large population (>300million). So...I think it can qualify as a fairly good sample of the world population. And, finding hard, detailed data on homosexuality statistics in relation to the disease in impoverished African countries, where...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    I meant SO-CALLED muslim countries, as I have elaborated in a previous post.

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    I admit, there seems to be very little hard data about the rate of STD's and AIDS in lesbian couples, except the observation that disease seems to be less prevalent among lesbian partners. Therefore, without hard data, your opinion that lesbians have it safest is just that: just an opinion. But...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    Of course. You are merely stating the all-encompassing law of God for this universe that we live in: Cause and effect. God merely tells us what to avoid so we can avoid the effect it will have. For example, if you drink poison, you will die, regardless of whether you are a holy man or a sinner...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    Like I said, don't confuse so-called muslim countries politically motivated policies with true, Islamic Law. The clerics who rule those countries don't care about religion or Islam, they are only all out to keep their hold on power. Same way like noone in their right mind would accuse the U.S...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    Please, you have merely given an estimate in the above graph of the heterosexuals AT RISK, not those who currently have AIDS or HIV. If you want to play on statistics and estimated projections, take a look at these, MUCH CLEARER graphs: Basic Statistics | Statistics and Surveillance | Topics |...

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    No, I haven't, what a silly thing to say. I merely said that I would at least try to refute arguments thrown at me with a scriptural background with at least logic, instead of merely saying to someone that I don't believe in your scripture, so don't use it when speaking to me.

    Why does God care about Homosexuality?

    57% is not a statistically significant number?!? Hmm...what if I told you that 57%, or more then half, of cancer patients given a special treatment, along with regular treatment, recovered significantly better? Of course, it's not statistically significant in your eyes, so should we just ignore...
