Can Islam be pursuaded to revise their position?

[R1Geezer]

"Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39"

It seems pretty clear that Islam is the enemy of the world so how far will the "Infidel" let it get before reacting?

An entire group has taken on the rantings of a paedophile nutter and seem intent on imposing the parameters of this "religion"

Will it be much more difficult when we finally wake up? can we "nip it in the bud" now?
Do we have a "Chamberlain" moment happenning? Is there a threat?

The Qur'an admonishes those men who oppress or ill-treat women: ... Nor should you treat them with harshness, Treat women with respect. The Islamic prophet Muhammad treated each of his wives with dignity, giving them rights equal to his own. This was remarkable in a time when women around the world were afforded no rights at all even english woman. Islamic women were (and still are) allowed to initiate divorce, control their earnings and keep their maiden names etc although i dont agree on having more than one wife, but christians do that aswell even in this day and age.lol........In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to Allah is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct

[suzie1]

good conduct meaning being a good muslim and human being, good conduct is not killing people and suicide bombing......................allah does not like that hope that answers your question naomi

[suzie1]

its good advise.................i like it muslim woman are well respected

[suzie1]

this is getting boring....yawn

Suzie, 'The Qur'an admonishes those men who oppress or ill-treat women:'

It does? I think you must have missed the bit where it tells men to beat their disobedient wives, and also the bit where it says men are superior to women. Perhaps you should read it again.

[suzie1]

i havent missed that bit, i was just concentrating on the good bits, if i start on the negatives i will be here all day, as with all religions..................becoz ur a non believer, i dont really see the point of debating this issue with you.....whos ur maker

[naomi24]

:o)

[suzie1]

just to shed some light on your 'assumptions' birdie, i am not a muslim woman, i am english, i respect peoples religions and i try to learn what i can about them. I have a lot of muslim friends, who are lovely people and should not be judged just becoz they are muslim, stereo typical/.ignorant people like yourself dont like respecting people and their religions, just becoz you and i dont have any religious beliefs, i dont see why it gives us the right to discriminate against other people beliefs. i only look at the positive things becoz thats all i know about islam, i dont read in to it as much as i you do, r u muslim? u seem to know more about islam than me.....assuming that im muslim, even if i was i wouldnt be ashamed of it, but i dont belong to islam. i think from what i have seen muslims are well disciplined people and thats alot more than i can say about the british. birdie your a fine example!!!!!

[naomi24]

Suzie, to add to Birdie's post, if you don't know what their beliefs are, how can you possibly support them, or object to anyone criticising them? That's tantamount to knowing nothing about Nazism, but nevertheless supporting Nazi beliefs and criticising anyone who disagrees with them.

[naomi24]

An afterthought before anyone jumps down my throat. I am NOT equating Islam with Nazism. I'm simply using those two belief systems to demonstrate my point.

[tamborine]

Suzie.........you quote more of the koran than the bible. Y then, have you chosen a christian ID?

Google Ottoman Empire, we've been here before!

[suzie1]

[naomi24]

Yes, I've seen you say you're winding people up on other threads too, Suzie, when you've been cornered. At least in your case it goes to show that learning can be fun, and I sincerely hope you've learnt something from this discussion.

"or you're not of the Islamic faith but you know a few Muslims; so you think you know about the whole Islamic religion."

Interesting analysis. Is it more meaningful to form a judgement on the whole Islamic religion from the wording of the book (even if it's said to be the literal word of God) or on the actual day-to-day behaviour of its followers - people who are overwhelmingly, disappointingly, infidel-ignoringly normal?

[suzie1]
