Higher critism has been done with the Qur'an since very early on in Islam. The thing is that some orientalist don't want to face the facts that we have and like to take such events as the burning done by Uthman and make it into something it's not. Here is a very very brief article about the...
I'm a bit confused but I'm guessing you are asking how Islam effects my daily life. Well thats a tough question. I would say that my daily life is a struggle to try and live according to the teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). I don't think I completely...
Well, let me start off by saying that Islam isn't just a religion it's a complete way of life. For every aspect of life there is something that Islam has to say about it. In Islam we get our info from the Qur'an and the Sunnah (which are the sayings and examples of the Prophet Muhammad...
Lets read verse 24:31 shall we,
Yusuf Ali: "And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and...
Correct, surrender is what Islam means, although your only one fifth of the way there. Islam means:
Surrender

The Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad (pbuh) thats who says how it's suppose to be. I don't care what any other Muslim does, Islam is about based on these two things not what some "mulsim" countries are doing today.
Anything, any idea can be used and twisted towards the agenda of those who...

I have to disagree with you again at this point, for the Qur'an tells us in surah 112,
"Say: He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him."
We, in Islam, don't believe that Allah created us...
To Distracto,
Although I'm not quite sure what kind of a response your looking for, other than a Muslim's, I guess I will go through your beliefs and just give you the Muslim prespective.
From this I gather that you believe that we should be living our lives in accordance with God's laws, and...
I'm just curious as to why you posted this. Are you looking for our opinions on what you had to say? Why did you choose to post this in the section about Islam, are you looking for just a Muslim response? I'm confused.
While the death penalty is allowed in Islam it is only allowed under certain cases. Let me provide you with a brief article about this topic.
Now for your second question about education. Learning and seeking knowledge is something that is greatly encouraged within Islam. Let me provide you...
To Lilithu,
Very well said, and informative post. However, I did notice one mistake that you made. You said:
