I have respect of every religion. I don't know much about Islam so I won't go on. I will say that people have demonized those who practice this religion and that is horrifying.

If I did have a religion, it would be more like ritualized habits. I'm interested in the 1st nations peoples traditions of worshiping nature. Shinto, a native Japanese religion is a lot more suitable for me.

I am Croatian and the girl I am sort of seeing is Bosnian.
I am Orthodox Cristian and she is Musslim. If you can remember what happend a few years ago now, there was a massive war against musslims in yugoslavia.
Anyway she is a very kind hearted girl. She does not do all that praying stuff or wear the head scarfs either, the only thing she does not do is eat pork. Which is fine by me. We get along no worries no fights she excepts my religion and I except hers. Her family are beautifull people and get alnog with mine just fine.
its like any religion, you get your mad twisted ones.

I see a lot of misleading and wrong information especially using hadiths. Mohammad's description in Islamic books written by muslims are so close to Jesus.


Endless verbage trying to flatter Mohammed written by endless Muslims will not change what Mohammed himself wrote or how Mohammed himself lived.

All Muslim scholars agree that the Quoran is the work of Mohammed and is the Muslim Bible. All Muslim scholars agree that Mohammed had multiple wives at once, including an underage girl, that he ruled Arabia, was a warrior, headed up an army, wrote laws in the Quoran regarding everything from how to split up inheritances to adultery and theft, and the earthly punishments to be meted out in earthly Islamic courts for breaking these laws.

Jesus did none of the above.

About all one can say about Islam is that the extremists like the Taliban are taking a bad doctrine and interpreting it even worse. There is some justification in the Quoran for living in peace with non-Muslims and many educated upwardly mobile Muslims are living by this part of the Quoran, for their own benefit. But there is also justification in the Quoran for holy war.

What you cannot say about Islam is that it resembles Christianity or that Mohammed resembles Christ.

No but people have done similar (or worse) things in his name.

Whereas there's no such justification in the Bible, anyone non-Christian deserves to die according to some parts of it.

They're both as bad as eachother for extremists on both sides.

so your point of all this is that christians are good and Muslims are bad and for that we should send them all to oblivion based on a man made book tha contains what people would imagine what a god would say if it was real. God is an anthropomorphic character. If there's a deity out there, it does not have a human composition. All religions have their pros and cons, christianity has more cons than pros IMO

You have obviously not read the Quoran or Koran as it is sometimes translated. The punishments written there are harsh and unforgiving. Adultry is punishable by 40 lashes and theft by getting your hand cut off. It's the law written in the Koran and the law in Islamic courts. Mohammed was a warrior who led an army of warriors to overtake caravans passing through Arabia and they stole whatever they needed. They could do anything to the Infidels, which is what they called non-Muslims, it just that they couldn't steal from each other.



You obviously have very little knowledge of Medieval Islam. Jews and Christians in Muslim territories were treated far better than Muslims or Jews were treated by Christians throughout the Middle Ages. They had to pay tribute to their Muslim occupiers but were still allowed freedom of religion. And "harsh and unforgiving" are exactly the words I would use to describe the punishments in the Old Testament.

You made the claim that NASA proved the moon split.

That is a lie. NASA never proved any such thing. The onus is on you to provide backing for that claim. Otherwise it's just libel.

Furthermore, the picture you produced "proving" the split on the moon is simply a close-up of one of the thousands of rilles on the surface of the moon. They're all over the place, and they are not at all indicative that the moon had ever split in half.



Like I said, believe what you want to believe, but every time you try to misuse and lie about science I will correct you.



Are you saying that all those sites are wrong and that information all over the net is wrong?

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. These sites are using misinformation to mislead and lie to you.

If you haven't noticed, "all those sites" are all ultra-religious sites, not scientific ones. The only one you linked to is a random internet blog about Islam. It uses a single picture from the NASA archives and then throws out the scientific explanations in favor of a wacky religious one that, frankly, can't possibly explain the phenomenon pictured.

Like any organized religion it's a small bit of truth surrounded by closed minded lies and control mechanisms.

So I shouldn't have blabbed all this info just because it is out there, I should have checked the information and went to the right sources.

Yes, that sounds like an excellent strategy. Don't simply take anyone's word for anything. Be a little critical of information, especially if you feel inclined to automatically believe it.
