All praise is due to Allah, the Creator and Cherisher of this Universe and may His
Peace, Blessings and Mercy be on His Last Prophet Mohammad, the progeny of
Mohammad and all companions of Mohammad, afterwards,
This is the third set of Questions and Answers that I faced with Non Muslims on
different threads of well known Discussion forum www.topix.net . Fist two volumes
have been posted by me already on this site.
Well the pattern is almost same, but you will find that the range is not as wide as was
on previous listings. This might be due to the fact, that by this time, we are well
known to our correspondents and the range of discussion is narrowed down.
The Questions are divided into ten Chapters, Alphabetical list of all Questions is
attached at the end of this document.
With this I take leave with you, and leave you with the Answers posted on threads.
Preface 3
2 Bible 12-22
3 Jesus 23-43
4 Trinity 44-53
Life created itself and then life took this complex shape by itself.
Have you ever tried this experiment in any of your workshops or
assembly lines. Leave them to sort out their problems themselves
and produce newer and newer models?
Any sound theory stands with its feet firmly planted in ground and
never changes its stand every now and then. So the permanency of
a belief is also a test of its soundness. That there is a Creator of
this Universe, was as true a million years ago as it is today and as it
will be a million years from now on. The passage of time does not
change the original truth.
It is your BTOE that keeps on changing its stand every now and
then and your “truths” os yesterdays are proven to be “Falsehood”
of today and tomorrow.
You are free to make your skyscrapers on shifty sands and laugh at
those who built their single story houses on firm grounds.
Q-2, Evolution, Cosmology, Are TOE and Big Bang not related?
A good theory and a good argument is that which should answer all
possibilities.
All prophets came with the same message, Believe in one God,
Worship only Him and Follow me. No prophet contradicted any
other prophet or called him bad or false names. It were the
followers of these prophet who did that.
So we can never blame God or prophets that they divided humanity.
Religion of all prophets was same and that is known in Arabic as
Islam, i.e. willful submission to the will of our Creator.
Whereas if Random Mutations was the only way of change from one
specie to another, there would have been millions of such “Misfits”.
Species come and species become extinct when they have achieved
their purpose and function in the Grand Design of their Creator.
Mass extinctions and mass arrivals are all planned.
The Blind Theory of Evolution says that things are happening in this
Universe and on this Earth without any plan, design or purpose.
If you believe in any other theory, then please put forward it.
Therein lies the Beauty, Power and Perfection of the Creator. Things
having so much in common are so different ultimately.
See how are you justifying and saying what I said that this is Blind
Theory of Evolution. No one knows what will mutate, when it will
mutate and what will be its effect.
The only reason you want to cling to this Absurd Blind Theory of
Evolution is that, if you accept outside influence, you have to
change you whole outlook and have to restrict your life style, which
you do not want to do.
Given enough time and space, humans cannot create a mere fly,
while the nature went from Hydrogen Atom to Human Being in less
than a Billion years, with very few rejections.
The basic problem with theory of evolution is that their claims are
not backed by the data. If one specie is to evolve into another
specie, then there are millions of in between stages. If fossils
record are any indication, then we must have Millions of fossils of
intermediate stages before finding a fossil of completed specie.
I hope that fossil operation was not partial to preserve only the
completed specie and do not preserve in between Millions of stages.
When a Reptile starts to evolve into a Bird, how many stages it has
to pass. Then every stage should consist millions of samples
because
Any theory of evolution which does not explain as to how the basic
material for life was obtained, is an incomplete in itself.
Let is take the case of Giraffe, it would have started with an animal
with normal necks as other animals, before it “Thought of Evolving”
into a long neck animal. This process would have stared gradually,
Now we should have fossil record to chart its progress, please
check.
How many Giraffe’s fossils we have with one quarter neck? How
many with half necks? How many with three quarter necks? Answer
is Zero!!!
Then how illogical is to say that Giraffe evolved from a normal neck
animal to long neck without any proofs? That is the case with each
and every specie which is supposed to have evolved from one form
to another.
That goes for all so called transitional stages. None of these are
transitional life forms, they are a different specie. A transitional life
form would be one with half developed legs, hands, wings, and
necks, beaks etc.
You are right, before you propose such an extravagant and grand
theory as TOE, you must have lots and lots of fool proof data. That
was non existent when this theory was proposed. It was really an
stand against the Church beliefs which stuck to every thing created
in 6 (24 Hours) day basis.
The charges you are laying against me do in fact recoil back on you.
In my all post on this subject, I have never reputed this Blind
Theory of Evolution because it is against my Book.
I said that any idea that this complex life forms could create
themselves without any Plan, Design or Creator is absurd and
against basic human knowledge. This rejection is purely on reason
and logical ground.
Whenever we see any thing on this earth, our minds goes to who it
creator would be. It would be only fools and blinds like you, who
would believe for even one second that this Universe and every
thing in it created themselves by their own efforts.
I have both legs firmly planted on ground and it is you, who are
standing without any firm foundations.
I think you have taken offense why I labeled your beloved "Theory
of Evolution" as "Blind".
If the life was evolving without any purpose or any idea in which
direction it would go and what would be repercussion of each such
step, what best title can be given to it other than "Blind".
I think blind is the most civilized word which I could think of,
otherwise, Stupid, Absurd, Too Farfetched, Hot Air and many similar
words could aptly describe your version of "Theory of Evolution"
which I call as "Blind Theory of Evolution".
Q10 - Evolution, Transitional forms, Do we have fossil records showing that?
Where did I say that Creator did not know when to Create and when
to destroy a particular specie. Why should it reveal all information
to you? He reveals only what is required and needed for humans to
do their jobs and prepare for their tests.
MUQ: Just read carefully your above statement and think how little
is your information about Evolution. A TIKTALLIC showing some
transitional features are irrefutable proof that Reptiles evolved from
Fish!!
A small finger bone in whale flipper is sufficient for you to claim that
it was a land animal with paws.
I think some day, you will quote data from Jurassic Park Movies as
evidence that these creatures really did existed!!!
1. That there are other Gods beside one True God of Universe.
Therefore this very idea of multiple gods, each having sway over a
particular race, or nation is filled with errors.
Q-12 Theory of Evolution, Start of life, Is TOE Complete?
Any theory of evolution that does not deal with how life started is
like making a building without knowing from where to get the raw
material.
How the first self regenerating cell formed is most vital question
that must be answered by so called proponent of Blind Theory of
Evolution.
It seems that you support BTOE but are content to call it TOE.
Only a blind man will not see any Purpose, Design and Reason in
the living world around us.
You were Blind in religious matters, having your own peculiar views
and now it is clear that you want to remain blind in the living world
also.
Chapter -2 Bible (Authority, Authenticity and Integrity)
Q-13 Bible, Corruption, Changes, Does Quran says Bible is Word of God?
Quran never says that God s words do not change, in fact it accuses
Jews and Christians of corrupting God s books and writing books
with their own hands and then saying that they are from God. So
how could it say that Bible did not change.
What Quran means by God s Words and God s ways not changing
means God s decrees and God s standards for Good and Evil and
God s laws for people and such things and not the written scriptures
available with various people.
We say that Bible does contains Words of God, but Bible as a whole
is not entirely word of God, it also contains words of prophets,
words of historians, words of storey tellers and some words of
fiction writers. They all are mixed with each other and Jews and
Christians have no criterion to separate one from the other.
Yes there is some truth that Joshua was a companion of Moses and
he would have been a reliable witness. But we do not see that
Joshua has bore witness to all events of Moses s life. On many
instances he was not even present.
Then in his book he does not confirm that he has seen Moses
Writing all those five books.
The testimony of Joshua would have any weight, if you could prove
that indeed Joshua the companion of Moses wrote that Book of
Joshua which is part of Bible. No a simple task eh.
Then both Jews and Christians say that their books speak nothing
about Prophet Mohammad. The single event in Human History
which changed the face of the world and had undeniable affect of
Both Jews and Christians is not mentioned in their books at all.
Then what is the purpose of so called thousands of small prophesies
when you miss the big one.
Quran speaks about logic, reason, and common sense. The role of
miracles and prophesies is down played. But it is not correct to say
that Quran does nor speak any prophesy.
I can frame such rules, but Islamic rules are so hard and so
straightforward that none of your 66 or 73 books would pass even
the first round. Then if I make the rules, you will say that I am
biased towards Islam and is making rules so as to help my book.
However it is the people who try to mix a bit of truth with one
thousand bits of falsehood and imaginations and then pass this
whole amount as absolute truth that cause all these problems.
First of all Quran confirms that Torah, ZABUR, INJEEL and other
revelations were from God. So proving that Noah’s ark does exist
proves both Quran and Torah.
Dead sea scrolls only provide some confirmation of existing text for
a few books of OT. Unless you are sure who wrote those scrolls, how
can you cite them as final proof for authenticity of all books of OT?
The Burial cloth of Jesus is a fake as any one will tell you/
If dead sea scrolls show that one or two books of OT are almost
same as what we have today, how does it provide authenticity for
all the books of OT?
I have analyzed your post and find the following main points:
This is the most common error into which you want us to accept.
There is a difference between versions and translations. Let us take
RC Bible, it contains 73 Books and then Protestant Bible, it contains
66 Books. Are they only different translations and interpretations?
Then you see that one verse of Bible is missing in one version and is
present in another version, how could it be different translations?
The versions are different than translations. Then when we see that
no two Old Manuscripts of Bible are identical, it proves itself that
Bible has indeed suffered during transmission.
Please note, that we do not say that existing Bible does not contain
Words of God. It does contain Word of God, but it also contains
words of prophets, word of historians, words of story tellers and
also words of pornographic type of writers. We need a criterion to
separate one from other and Quran being pure Word of God
provides that Criterion.
There is only one Arabic Quran and every Muslim reads it in Arabic
during daily prayers. Now to understand it, they might look at
translations into different languages and by different authors.
Yes God indeed wants His Word to Spread and that is why He has
sent Quran in the last and protected it from corruptions and
interpolations etc, Ch. 9 V 14.
Torah and INJEEL were for a particular time period and when the
Last Book came, their periods are over and they are no more
applicable.
Quran tells us the solution for this also. It asks us to agree at least
on things which are common between the two scriptures and they
are,
Then if we differ on any thing, we should verify the truth from which
is preserved in pure form i.e. Quran.
Q-19 Bible Authenticity, Are statements of Biblical societies enough to prove it?
4. Then Fourth Writer puts his own words in the mouth of Jesus. No
one reading the first three Gospels and then fourth Gospel would
believe that it is the Same Jesus and same disciples who are
speakers and listeners.
You on the other hand have not a single bit of Gospels in the
language which Jesus spoke. You all have translated books and
they all differ from each other in thousands of places.
This is a mess in which you have placed yourselves, why you want
us to come to your help.
May be that was God’s plan that only one book should be preserved
till the last day and all other books be changed and corrupted.
But whatever may be the conditions of your books, you still cannot
prove that it teaches Trinity in so many words. Despite all
corruptions and translation it has undergone, it still has no clear cut
verse of Trinity in it.
You can be happy in your own world of fantasy, the world of non
existent Trinity!!!
If you say that these are only eyewitness accounts of what people
of that age saw and recorded, then you can have your choice, but
then these would not be described as Word of God. You can have
your choice, but you cannot have both.
Mark never records that he is writing what he heard from Peter, and
Luke could have been associate of Paul, but Paul was not a disciple
of Jesus, so he and his teacher both are not eyewitnesses to the
events they are writing.
B. Which is the exact time when these scrolls were written? Only
Guess work. Authorities differ by a period of three hundred years
on the dates.
C. Do these scrolls contain full text of whole OT? No, there are
portions of some books.
F. As usual they are putting too much emphasis on Dead Sea Scrolls
to prove the authenticity of Bible, a document whose authorship
and ownership is not known, whose date of writing or copying is not
known and which is not at all complete.
I say that all OT and NT books available to you are only translations
and you have lost the originals.
1. Jesus was born in a Jewish Family, he did not speak Greek at all.
4. Yet all the Gospels we have are in Greek. How can we be sure
that these translations are accurate and express the exact views of
Jesus? Only claims and claims and no proofs.
But with such background, you have the face to accuse Quran that
its divine origin is only a matter of belief.
Thank you Hugh Be, but if you ask the likes of Sound Doc & c , they
will say that it was foretold by Jesus "For there shall arise may false
prophets....."
Any one studying Bible with open mind, clearly seed the advent of
Prophet Mohammad mentioned in both OT and NT books.
But when you ask them what Bible says about Mohammad,
they are speechless and have no word to utter.
Then from inception Islam has been a thorn for the religion of
Jews and Christians. It tackles them face to face and
addresses them directly.
It is your insolence that you are putting your views (And views of
non prophets like Paul etc.) as necessary and binding conditions on
the Word of God which you call as Bible. Before doing that,
1. First you have to prove that what Bible (or the books inside that
collections) that you have today, is the same Bible which was
originally revealed, I think it would be a Herculean task. Only your
claims are not sufficient neither self-issued certificates of
authenticity.
2. Then you have to prove each and every statement in your post
as originating from the lips of a prophet of God and not from any
one else.
3. All your talk about Lambs, and Lions are allegorical and not to be
taken literally. We should not move to animal kingdom to prove
something about humans.
4. The end result is that, in the end your whole message is muddled
in allegory and your own imaginations and indoctrinations.
“Most Certainly, God is my Lord and Your Lord, so worship Him only
and this is the Straight Path (or Way)”
“Now this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God
and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent” 17:3
You are true when you say, Hell is prepared for Satan and his
followers, those who deny or openly disobey the message of God
revealed thru any of His chosen prophets. So instead of speaking in
the language of animal kingdom, you should use plain language.
To cut a long story short, it is not Bible which claims it is the Word
of God. It is the believers in Bible who CLAIM that it is Word of God
and there is a hell lot of difference in the two things.
1. First the word Bible is not in the Bible. It is name given by the
followers, so how can Bible say that it is Word of God?
3. To say that Bible is Word of God, we have to prove that each one
of these books is Word of God.
Now you can see, it is how childish to claim that Bible as a whole is
Word of God.
Having said so, let me tell you that Bible does contain following:
A. Words of God as revealed to some prophets.
B. Words of prophets of God explaining teachings from God.
C. Words of historians and folk lore and national backgrounds.
D. Some words from even pornography inserted as side things.
In fact there is such a criterion (and I can identify it), but our Bible
Thumpers would not accept it and try to convince world that their
amalgamated mixture is Word of God, from cover to cover.
Chapter-3 (Christianity, Jesus and other issues)
3. I have yet many things to say to you, which you cannot bear
them now, howbeit, when the Counselor, the spirit of truth…..
These all point out that Counselor will come in this world. I think
most of Christians believe that promised Counselor did come on
Pentecost day, bit that is another topic of discussion.
I am happy to know that you were born in India and now settled in
Germany. I am also an Indian working in Saudi Arabia.
Gun and sword have always been a part of Christian Culture , How
could Britain and other Colonial Powers gained possession of vast
lands in Asia and Africa? Thru beautiful preaching only?
Church keeps changing its instance every now and then, the
present Pope has declared that Jews had nothing to do with
the crucifixion of Jesus. With such shifting stand of Church,
how can we believe in their decisions.
Creation of Jesus: Quran is very brief in this and do not leave any
place for doubt or discussion. As per Quran God only said Be and
Jesus was created. In such matters we do not have much
discussions.
However it is Bible which goes out of the way and try to give some
explanation as to how this was achieved.
Matthew says, Before they came together, she was found to be with
child thru the Holy Spirit. Ch1 V 18.
Luke pipes in with , The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the
power of Most High will overshadow you Ch1 V 35.
So they are going out of the way to explain how it happened and
that is why people are asking questions.
The idea of Zygote for Jesus is also not my idea, that is also from
other Christians only. In such cases we Muslims do not elaborate
and leave it to God, which is a much safer approach.
Q-31 Jesus Birth, Genealogy
1. You said Mary was from the House of David. Both Matthew and
Luke trace Joseph the Supposed father of Jesus from David.
Matthew from Solomon and Luke from Nathan. Which of the two is
speaking the truth?
3. The offer of redemption comes from Jesus and not from Paul.
Jesus said “This is eternal life, that they should know you True God
and Jesus Christ whom you sent”. We Muslims accept this
statement of Jesus and we are entitled for Eternal Life.
We reject Paul’s hypothesis that “Eternal life comes thru the Blood
of Jesus” and no body rejecting Paul’s unsupported statement has
to fear any thing from God Almighty.
As for your question why all other prophets were created with
mother and father and not Jesus? The answer it God knows.
May be it was a Test (most probably it was) for both Jews and
Christians alike. Jews went to one extreme and assigned human
father to Jesus and spoke bad things and bad words for Mary.
Christians went to other extreme and made God as his father. Then
went further away and made him equal to God and one third of a
Mysterious Trinity.
It is you who are avoiding the real issue, if coming out without
father was that important thing, then Adam and Eve have the same
position. Just saying that they were first human pair, is not enough,
if God can create humans without father and mother, the fact that
He created Jesus without father is not sufficient to prove his
Divinity.
Matthew and Luke tried human ideology for this event and tried to
explain as you say in common human language and entered into a
dangerous territory. For you it may be easy to figure our how “Mary
was found to be with Child from Holy Ghost” and how “The power of
Most High overshadowed Mary” but not to many many common
people.
Neither Matthew nor Luke mentions the name of Mary and you as
an “Apologist” try to explain that Matthew traced it thru King’s and
Luke thru Heli. The name Joseph the carpenter mentioned in both
Matthew and Luke is absurd and has nothing whatsoever with Jesus’
genealogy at all.
You say he was legal father of Jesus, was there such thing as Legal
Father in those days? On one hand you object on Quran because it
says Mary was Sister of Aaron and do not want to consider our
reasonable answers and on the other hand you condone these
serious mistakes done by Matthew and Luke in Jesus’ genealogy. Is
it fair?
Who was Jesus? God or no God? Who died on Cross? Jesus or some
one else?
When your foundation is wrong, you will have problem with each
and every step. In Islam our foundation is very strong, that is why
we never have these types of problems.
MUQ The same God says in the same book, that do not make
yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven,
or on the earth beneath or in the waters under the earth, Ex.
Ch 20 V 4.
The distortion comes in the claim of Christians that God was Born as
a human and then they convince themselves on the basis that God
can do everything. This is a very wrong reasoning. God can create
a human without father, without mother and without father and
mother, that sounds logical. But for God to change Himself into a
human is absurd and against previous scripture.
OUR JIBRELL was no one than Arch Angel Gabriel known to every
Jew and Christian. He only spoke the truth as given in past
scriptures that on one can bear the sin of others. So this whole
concept of original sin and Atonement thru the blood of God is man
made dogma.
Our prophet was not the most haughty of men, he was the most
humble. He chose the Title of Abdullah, Slave of Allah for him.
Jesus with much less to do was raised to God and Begotten Son of
God and followers of our prophet could have gone to higher level,
but they did not exceeded their bounds and only spoke the truth.
Writings of St. Paul, St. Augustine and St. Aquinas and all other
saints and scholars are to be considered as valid, so long as they do
not go against the words of Jesus and other past prophets.
I thank you, that you liked my little “piece” on Jesus dieing like a
God, but I also say that you forgot my another “Piece” that you
cannot fit a Square in a Circle and vice verse.
Both of these together could have helped you is reaching the right
conclusion.
The Idea of Jesus dieing as God came before verifying that Jesus
was indeed God. (Let us forget for the time being that Idea of God
dieing in itself is a contradiction. The one that dies cannot be God,
because God and death cannot be together).
So first this idea that Jesus died for our sin came, and was
established, then they wanted to prove that Jesus was indeed a God
according to four Gospels. And that is why you find so much
contradictions and problems in proving this from Gospel.
You have to constantly switch your stand, this verse Jesus spoke as
God, this as human and so on. In the end, who died was only
human Jesus and not God Jesus, so where is the endless atonement
of sin?
I like your sincerity and have told it many times. I wish that you
will analyze the statements you make and ask for proofs from the
lips of Jesus and not from others.
Q-39 Jesus Divinity, Why is it degrading to say that God became man?
3 For example, we cannot say that God can lie, or God can Cheat,
or God can commit mistakes, or God can die etc.
3A. In Quran God says, God only speaks Truth, God does not do
any injustice, God never forgets and God is ever living. Therefore
any actions which contradict these cannot be attributed to God.
A. God is infinite and man is finite, how can one be finite and
infinite at the same time?
There are so many problems which arise, when we assume that God
became man, some of them are:
a. Was He God before and then became man and then changed
back into God? How any one who changes be God.
There are so many questions which pop up into mind, when you say
that God became man. And that is why we say it is degrading to
say that God becomes man.
And this whole ides of Jesus being God, is not so well established as
you think it is. This is stated by others, and not Jesus himself. So
why we accept all these contradictions and absurdities, just to fulfill
some statements made by some people and not Jesus.
If you see OT books, you will find that Jews asked too many
questions from their prophets and that is what Allah is warning us
about.
Now coming to the point of Divinity of Jesus, you have laid a very
emotional outburst, without actually quoting from the scripture.
You have given only one example that Jesus asked his disciples to
Baptize whole world in the "Name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit".
Where does it says that Jesus is God?
Then if you look closely, this instruction was supposed to have been
given when Jesus was about to ascent to heavens. There is a
contradiction, thru out his life, Jesus never preached to non Jews.
Then why on ascending to heavens he placed a burden on his
disciples which he himself did not do? No good teacher, Master or
right man would do it.
I do not condemn you Joe, I know you are sincere person. You are
just repeating what was taught by your priests and preachers over
many years.
You would agree that it is not every now and then that God comes
to us in human form. As per you it happened only once in the
history of mankind.
Since it was such a big moment for humanity, it was very clear for
Jesus to express it in no uncertain terms, so that his followers are
not in any doubt about this issue.
You said, that it is Gospel that My and Father are one. If that is
conclusive proof of his divinity, then in the same Gospel he says, I
and my disciples, we all are one. You cannot take different
meanings for the same word in the same context.
To say that God takes human form, is the belief of not Semitic
people, but of the pagans Romans, Egyptians and Hindus etc. In
their system God takes human forms in innumerable times.
Christians have reduced only to one time that is all.
Than all this idea of getting free from sin etc can wait, till we are
over with Divinity issue of Jesus.
You are right in a way, if it would not had been for Quran, it was
never possible to prove that Jesus existed at all.
You are sure that based on four Gospels and the physical evidence
available, there is not enough proof that Jesus existed at all.
Heli and Joseph were not that important persons that their
genealogies would be kept and preserved in Jewish temple, you
have to provide proof that genealogies of every person was kept in
Temple of Solomon. The temple was destroyed in 70 CE so what
happened to these genealogies.
You say that Jehovah as Zygote was planted in the womb of Mary,
but your friend Sound Doc is strongly against this idea. You decide
between yourselves, I do not want to enter into these controversies.
Our Quran says God Never begets and He is not Begotten!!!
Regarding “As was Supposed”, look at the KJV where the words “As
was Supposed” are kept under brackets and inverted commas,
making it clear that these words were of translators and not of
Luke’s. So it is your words against the words of KJV translators.
But I think that YOU feel that YOU have HIGHER AUTHORITY than
any one else on this earth. Because Holy Ghost might be inside you
and coaxing you.!!
Q- 44 Jesus Genealogy, Matthew and Luke differences?
2. Luke says that Heli is father of Joseph the Carpenter. Did Holy
Spirit revealed to you that Heli was Father in Law of Joseph? And
who would be father in law of Joseph? The father of Mary? Where
in any record it is mentioned that Mary’s father was named Heli?
3. With your own imaginations as your guide, why can Matthew not
write the Genealogy of Mary and Luke of Joseph?
4. Why did Holy Spirit not corrected Matthew or Luke to clarify this
apparent contradiction in the two Gospels?
8. With this background you come up with tall claims like Bible
Condemns people for eternal punishment.
With all due respect to you, Jesus was born in a Jewish Family; he
was raised as a Jew. He preached his message to Jews and for your
information, never preached nor allowed any of his disciples to
preach to any one else but Jews.
That was all during his life time. It was later when he died that His
"Self Appointed 13th Apostle" opened the gate to Non Jews i.e.
gentiles.
What was done in the name of Jesus after he left this earth, he is
not responsible for that.
If you know your Bible, you will appreciate what I have written.
For your information, Muslims also had no problems with Jews for
much of last 1400 years. It was only since 1948 that we have
started problems with them, when they came to our lands, turned
out people who were living there for past 1200 years and became a
bully in the region.
On the other hand, Jews and Christians have been at each other's
throat for past 2000 years. It was only after WW-2, that Christians
developed a new found love and friendship with Jews. So your love
relationship with Jews is very new. And that is because you have
shifted your problems to Arabs and Muslim Lands!!!
Pope will issue Apology after Apology to Jews for every act of crime
and omission which Christians have done and in reply, he will never
receive any Apology from Jews for what they did to Jesus and those
Early Christians!!! It is heads I win and tale you loose situation
between Jews and Christians of our modern times.
I really have sympathies with Christians in the hole they have put
themselves into.
About the Kingdom of Heaven, in fact Jesus did try to explain that
too in many of his parables and the best of which is what you read
in Lord’s prayer “O our Father in heaven! Hallowed be Your Name,
Your kingdom come, Your Wish be done on Earth as it is done in
Heaven….”
I agree that Jesus did not establish the kingdom of God on earth.
He did not had enough followers to start with. Then what ever he
had left him and fled at the first sight of danger (according to your
scripture). What else could he say at the time of his trial?
There was one more question posed to John the Baptist, "Are
you That Prophet" to which John replied I am not.
As to prove that Jesus left the job unfinished, what better source
than Jesus himself?
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But
when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and
he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by
taking from what is mine and making it known to you.” John 16: 12
and
“If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the
Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you
forever— The Spirit of truth. John 14:15
These things show that Jesus did not finish his mission and left the
Job for some future person who will come after him and finish the
Job.
You may recall “This day I have perfected your religion for you”
Quote from Quran. No more promise of any future person to come.
Regarding your second Question, why God created Jesus from Virgin
Mary and my answer is God Creates what He wills.
Can you answer me, Why God Created Adam without any Father or
Mother?
Now coming to the mission of Jesus, he and John the Baptist, both
preached about approaching Kingdom of Heaven. If only John
would have preached that, it might have made some sense (Since
he is supposed to be herald for Jesus). But after John the Baptist,
Jesus also preached the same good news of coming Kingdom of
Heaven. Which I told you Jesus could not establish.
Thank you for reminding me about Matthew 28 19-20, but you see
this was after Jesus had dies and supposed to have resurrected. I
said during his earthly life, he did not preach to Non Jews and did
not allow his disciples to preach to non Jews.
How this policy suddenly changed after his death, I cannot say. But
if you look carefully the verse is a latter addition for the formula of
Baptizing In the Name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit started much
later in Christian Church and not at the time of Jesus.
I did not mean that every Christian persecuted these Jews. What I
said was about the general conditions.
But when such statements are made, they are based on majority
action. When we see white people in USA persecuted Black Slaves,
it does not mean that every white man did that, there could be
exceptions and there were exceptions.
On the other hand, we have such clear cut statements from the lips
of Jesus
1. I have not been sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel
and he gave instructions to his disciples.
These show clearly the intent of Jesus. Teaching some woman here
and some slave there does not change the whole purpose of his
mission.
Further salvation thru the blood of Jesus itself implies that Jesus
must be God, otherwise his blood as a human or a mere prophet is
not enough to carry the sins of whole world.
B. I also told you that as per Islam, all prophets of God are specially
protected against wrong doing and committing moral sins, there
also there is no difference between Jesus and other prophets.
It is you own idea that God was born from the womb of Mary.
Nothing supports it. Then at what stage you will make the statue of
Jesus?
The statue might be that of his bitterest enemies. How are you
sure that it is indeed picture of Jesus?
I do not want to create hatred and bad blood between Jews and
Christians. I just want to tell that as your excessive hate of Jews
was one side of extreme, now this new found love is the other end
of extreme.
In your love for Jews (or hate of Muslims) you condone these acts
of Jews and always take their side. Which is against reason, logic
and justice.
If you remember, in my first post, I had said that the title Messiah
was not such a strange one for Jews. This meant any prophet or
any person who has been selected by God to perform a given task.
I think you already know this and there will be no need to expand
this.
However, there was another Messiah, who was to come after Moses,
whom I called Messiah of Messiahs or The Messiah.
The best prophesy for The Messiah still intact is to be found in Deut.
18:18, where God promised a Prophet Like Moses to come at a
future date. There are many more who are not so clear, but would
point to him, if you consider it with care.
If you look back with the hindsight, the followers of That Prophet
got full possession of Palestine, within 30 years of his death, a task
which took followers of Jesus 300 and more years. If Jews at that
time adhered to That Prophet, they would be in their promised land,
1400 years back!!
What I have said above are certainly “detours” from our discussion
and you have right to accept or reject it.
I don’t know from where you will pick up the thread of next
discussion.
I think you are talking out of malice than any thing else. Why Allah
should be afraid of any archeology and finding of any thing on this
earth.
If you want to study any of these sites, you have to discuss and
reason with local authorities there. But if your aim is to use our
own sites for refuting our own religion and our own scriptures, then
how can you expect cooperation from us.
In spite of all your efforts, you will never be able to prove that
Existing Books of OT and NT are exactly same as they were on the
day they were revealed. Because no amount of excavation or
archeology can disprove a true fact. Truth always supports another
truth and never contradict it, whereas to justify one false statement
you have to speak hundred or more false statements.
Q-58 Prophet hood, David Solomon, Were they prophets or only kings?
David is a King according to you, but God speaks to him, his Psalms
are considered as a word of God and included in Bible and read in
most Church services.
Same is the case with Solomon, you say he is a prophet, but his
books are included in your Holy Bible and considered as word of
God and God speaks to him, but still he is a mere king,
God speaks to him, but he is a mere king. In our terminology when
God speaks to any person (directly or thru an angel), he is a
prophet of God.
You say, Believe in Trinity is not required for salvation, I say that if
you believe in Trinity, your chances of salvation are very much
reduced, because you are indeed committing a Blasphemy against
God Most High.
I think you are not right in saying that Jesus per see was accepted
as God by His Chosen disciples and all of early Christians.
In the absence of such statements, how can you say that Divinity of
Jesus was never a point? Jesus behavior thru out his missionary life
was nothing but as an Ideal Servant of God. He preyed to God, He
asked God for help and did every other thing which a true servant
does to his Lord.
Then I think that You are trying to circumspect the issue regarding
Holy Spirit. If I know your scripture correctly, Jesus promised that
Holy Spirit shall abide by each Christian for ever (I think it is how
you interpret the Issue of Comforter any way). When Holy Spirit is
inside every Christian, how the Satan can mislead them.
The answer is the logical one, which I gave that Holy Spirit is indeed
an angel of God, which descends only on prophets of God and to no
one else. That is why only prophets of God are protected from
errors and sins.
That is why Trinity since the very beginning has been an issue of
which Christians have always been divided and no one is able to
explain it logically and in plain words so that a common man can
understand it. You can try your hand at it.
The nature of Jesus was the issue…when he was raised to the level
of God (after bitter opposition from early Christians)…a sort of
Duality in the god-head was assumed… which later changed into
Trinity.
Trinity took its shape after 300 or so years after Jesus, that is fact.
If you say that Trinity is derived from some statement of Jesus….
Then it shows that it cannot be the central pillar of your religion.
The basis of your faith must be based on clear cut and unambiguous
statement of Jesus and not Paul or other Apostles.
As for Holy Spirit to come to me, after seeing the effects it has on
Christians, I would certainly ask protection from God to send that
type of Holy Spirit to me!!!
If you want to know the truth, Holy Spirit is an Angel of God, who
comes only to the prophets of God and to no one else.
Now it will come to no other person till the day of judgment. All
those who claim to have Holy Spirit inside them or being actually
guided by it are faking it.
May God have Mercy on you and guide you to His Path.
Q-62 Trinity Justification, Proper method to justify Trinity
The more important is the issue; the clearer must be proof from the
scripture.
That is why I said that this whole issue of Trinity is only in your
minds which you try to superimpose and interpret from allegorical
and ambiguous verses of OT and NT verses.
The current going is that Trinity is one of the Secretes of God and
one must believe in it without understanding it.
Logic used by St. Paul was his own and not teachings of Jesus and
all other past prophets.
Q- 63 Trinity Logic, How should we discuss theological issues?
The first and foremost authorities during these discussions are the
scriptures. You have to prove that this belief in so many words is
taught by such and such prophet.
When we question you, then you ramble about nature being Triune,
when we question you on that, you go on rambling about
Thermodynamics and Eutectic point and so many scientific theories.
What is the end point of it?
If Jesus did not teach trinity, so you should not. Every thing which
you can prove might not be right. If some one tries he can prove
that every thing in universe is made of four contents. But that will
not become the truth.
The truth is what comes from God's revelation and what is taught
by prophets of God.
Peace and Blessings be to you Joe…. What you say that God is
Father, Son and Holy Spirit is not only illogical but is also against
the teachings of all Jewish prophets including Jesus.
This dogma was reached after a bitter struggle of over four hundred
years, during which most of the Original and Oldest Christians and
their sects were declared heretical. It is the most unintelligible and
illogical of all Church Dogmas. That is why it has caused maximum
problem in Christian History.
How can you explain such things, Father is God, Son is God and
Holy Spirit is God….but they are not three Gods but one God!!!
Father is a person, Son is a person, Holy Spirit is a person…..but
they are not three persons but one Person!!! Father is Almighty,
Son is Almighty, Holy Spirit is Almighty…but these are not three
Almighty but one Almighty!!! Can any one who speaks plain English
understand this?
Further there is no chance that some character like St. Paul could
rise in Islam and hijack the pure monotheistic teachings of Quran
and our prophet. It is too late for that any how.
I do not mean to dishearten you. I have respect for you, but the
question you have posed seemed a bit naïve. I hope you will not
mind my straight answer.
You want me to Quote Clear verses from Bible that God is one? I
think it would fill the page and all of them are very clear and
unambiguous statements.
It was intere4sting to listen from you about Dr. Radha Krishnan, for
Hindus, Jesus being God and man would be perfectly logical. They
believe in so many persons being God and born like man. You will
have to convince them why ONLY JESUS should have that distinction
and not RAMA or KRISHNA or many others.
John :1-14 is a statement from the Gospel writer and his own
opinion and it is not the statement from lips of Jesus. God
becoming man is absurd and illogical and against reason. So it
cannot be accepted only because a Gospel Writer, whose real name
and real identity itself is not known has written it. We need much
stronger proof than that to prove an illogical concept.
That is why Trinity is such a stumbling block for Trinity since the
first time this word was pronounced.
Then one more stupidity in your logic is that one of that Infinity
became Finite and appeared in Human form. When it became
Finite, it was no more infinity. The more you think, the more
illogical this Trinity becomes.
The Holy Spirit which you speak so highly is (claimed to be) present
in every Church and Denominations and the Same Holy Spirit is
taking these into different directions. Who has it and who does not
has it, will be decided by whom? Another Holy Spirit?
In the end I told you as before you are welcome to “Relish in the
meat and blood of Sacrificial Lamb”. You do the inequities and he
pays for it. You have the headache and he takes the medicine. You
have pain in your hernia and he is operated upon.!!
You try to deceive yourself and others when you say He manifests
Himself in three ways. At all times Father is existing with full might
and Son is also existing with full might and Holy Spirit is also
existing with full might.
These three are three separate independent entities. When you
think of Father, you do not think of Son. When you think of Son, you
do not think of Holy Spirit. But you say God is One.
If Jesus was God and he died, then what wrong is to say that God
died. Every man is made of body and soul, but we say of every
man that he is dead, even though soul does not die.
This Trinity is only in your head, you want to see Trinity everywhere.
It is like a colored glass which shows you only three things and not
four or five.
When we point out to you cases where more than three elements
are present, you keep silence without explaining. Even a single
exception is sufficient to break the rule. For example, trees consist
of roots, stem, branches, leaves and fruits. There are five
elements, where is Trinity? And trees are not so uncommon in our
physical world.
Who calls human body only as Full Human and Human Spirit as full
human and Human Soul as full human, only when they all combine,
we call it human.
When you question this absurdity in physical world, you take shelter
in God, that God can do every thing. Why you leave all absurdities
for God alone.
The moment you remove this absurdity of Trinity out of your mind,
every thing falls into its proper place, there are no mysteries. A
Circle fitting properly in a circular hole.
Elohim of Jews is a plural of respect, why do you not ask Jews, what
it means?
A new Child is born sinless, pure as anything, it is you Trinitarians
who cover him with not done sins. He is destined for Heaven or Hell
is as per the way he lives his life. This is pure and simple teachings
of all prophets, except St. Paul and his followers.
Any one familiar with Biblical teachings will not worship Jesus or any
one on this planet, who all are Creatures of One True God.
And what is more Jesus never claimed divinity himself. It were his
zealous followers of Jesus who raised him to the level of Divinity.
I also accept Biblical Quotation, Hear O Israel , Lord our God is one
God...
Quran says the same thing in Chapter 112 "Say Allah is One and
Unique, Allah The Self Sustaining, The Eternal, He begets not,
neither was He begotten. And there is none equal to Him.
Small things like toys and nails cannot be made unless they are
planned and designed and gigantic systems like galaxies, planets
and their complex motions come about without any plan and
design?
The harshest civilized word which I can use for persons with such
views is Lunatic.
Every good designer uses the best part of an old or existing design
to create a newer design. It is simply wastage of time and energy
to use totally different concepts for each new model.
Can we apply the same principle, i.e. that outer similarity in design
is sure sign that they evolved from each other, should we not use it
for other fields also?
All books must have evolved from each other, because 100 percent
they use the same alphabets and so many words and sentences are
common in many of them?
All newer generations of Microprocessors are nothing but copy and
paste models of earliest Microprocessors, because they use the
same principle.
I know all of you will think the above examples as stupid, but when
it comes to BTOE, you just follow the same principle.
Since cells are used in every living things, so they must have
evolved from each other.
Since every creature has same body parts so they must have
evolved from each other.
But the beauty is that you have almost no proof to link these dots,
but using your high imaginations and firm NEGATION of Creator
allows you to swallow these unreasonable pills.
And at the end of it, You are reasonable guys and not the one who
tries to explain it logically that there has to be a Creator, A designer
and a Planner for all these myriad life forms.
Q-73 Evolution, God Models, Are every model of God are true?
We have to choose and find out which Model of All Mighty God does
provide answers to all these difficulties.
The basic problem in all your approaches is that you want to think
Life and Universe as some type of freak and chance event.
That is why you want to curtail power of the Designer and bring it to
your own animal nature.
That is the point which should take your maximum time than
analyzing bones and teeth.
The life and every part of it is not a mere idle sport. It has a
purpose and Human Life has a Higher Purpose than fulfilling its
animal extinct.
I proved that from purely logical and from pure reason, it is illogical
to say that anything came by itself or created it, itself.
You go thru all my mails and you will find that I always criticized
and condemned this Blind Theory of Evolution on this ground only.
Then the fossil records are so imperfect that they do not trace the
full evolution path of even a single specie of the millions available
on this earth from start to finish. With such a small and imperfect
knowledge base, it is the stupidity of highest order to claim that
evolution is scientific and we have solved the riddle of life and
universe.
The issue of Islam, Quran and other things were a diversion into
which I was dragged from time to time. I have posted all the above
arguments and I have never quoted any verse from Quran or from
Hadith to support my claim.
We do not deny that Evolution does not take place or How one
specie die out and another takes its place. It is this Idea of BTOE,
that this happens automatically thru RM and NS and without any
Plan or Design. Which is so Unscientific and so Unreasonable.
Then your comments on Bible and Quran are very confusing. If the
source of Bible was revelation which came from God, then why can
the same God not reveal the same information to some one after
say a thousand or two thousand years afterwards.
If you do not believe in God, or prophets or revelations, then it is
another question. But as I said, I have found your stand varying
every now and then. You are as confused on this as on every other
matter which you discuss.
You want to ride on two boats at the same time. Justify Bible on
the ground that it came from God and then deny God and start
justifying BTOE.
No theory should exceed their limits and talk about some thing
about which it has insufficient information. When Darwin proposed
that theory, he did not know many things as we know today. But
even then we went ahead and proposed it.
That is the basic flaw of this BTOE. So called scientists support it,
because they do not want to believe in God, and do not want to
regulate their lives. That is where BTOE differs from True TOE.
That you force the people to keep quite and approve of your
immoral act is wrong of the Extreme High degree.
And Wrong of the Highest degree is when you force those people
who do not approve to do the same immoral act.
I think in US and West, you have already reached to the last but
one stage.
They cannot equate people who eat with mouth and those who eat
thru nose on the same category. They cannot equate people who
walk with legs and those who walk on their hands.
I think the days are not far when Homosexuality would be made
compulsory that before marrying a person of different sex, you have
to declare that I have tried same sex version, and I still want to
marry a person from opposite sex.
You may think what I am saying is far fetched. Just consider the
change in attitude towards Sodomites and Lesbians in past 100
years and then contemplate what future holds for these people.
Q-81 Homosexuality, Marriage Ban, Will California ban them?
But what I have seen so far, I feel that California is very much alive
with this debate about so called "Same Sex Marriages" which are
indeed a delusion.
I have found respect for California and its people for fighting against
this menace. A state which houses Silicon Valley and is home to
many most intelligent people in USA, must take the lead to fight
against this unnatural lust and profanity which is going on in the
same of legal rights for Sodomites and Lesbians.
That society should tolerate them, is itself a big thing than their
demands that they be treated at par with so called "Normal" human
beings, who satisfy their sexual desires in a natural way.
If people do not take these people head on and restrict them, the
days are not far when Sodomity and Lesbianism would be made
compulsory in USA and other country affected most by this Virus of
Homosexuality.
California has had many firsts in USA, I hope it would be first state
in USA to ban Sodomity and Lesbianism.
Chapter-6 Islam -1 (Various Topics on Islam)
You are right in a sense. There are indeed 99 or more names for
Allah in different languages and in different parts of the world.
But the crowing name is Allah which is a unique Arabic word for a
Unique Creator. This Arabic Word Allah has no plural, no feminine
gender equivalent, it cannot be mutilated by adding prefix and
suffix before or after it.
You are also right that most Arab Christians prey to Allah because in
Arabic there is no better equivalent for God than Allah.
You are also right that it is your intentions and feelings inside our
heart which count when to prey to Allah or God or whatever names
you take. Quran also confirm this and says
Call upon Allah , or call upon Rahman, by whatever name you call
upon Him, it is OK, for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names… Ch
17 V 110.
But we worship only One True God, Allah and we do not Worship,
Jesus, Moses, Abraham or any other prophet of God. We do not
worship our prophet Mohammad also. May Allah s peace and mercy
be on all His servants and messengers.
That is the true path, towards which all prophets including Jesus
Christ invited his followers.
Somewhere along the way, Christians lost their way and were
misled by Paul to worship Jesus Christ in place of God of Jesus
Christ.
That is the voice of one which was calling in the wilderness, prepare
the way for the Lord.
Not Lord Jesus, but Lord God, the Creator of This Universe, mind
you.
You forget that it is not the written words which come first, it is the
pronunciation first and then it is written down. The Quran was
revealed verbally to our prophet, who asked hi wordings to be
written down by scribes.
You said that I was wrong in saying that Islam always being the
only religion in Arabia, you pointed that prior to Prophet Mohammad
(PBUH), 1400 back, Arabs were pagans and worshipping idols.
I also must say that you are right. When I meant Always, it was for
past 1400 years of history. Prior to that Arabs did fall into
paganism for some time.
If you know ancient history, let me tell you, that paganism was not
the original religion of Arabs. They trace their descent thru prophet
Abraham and prophet Ishmael, who were both icons of Monotheism.
Kaaba was originally built for the worship of one True God of
Universe. Arabs continued in monotheism for centuries after the
death of Ishmael. It was only a few centuries before the birth of
our prophet that Makkan fell into idol worship and transformed
Kaaba into a sanctuary for idols.
Arabs in fact knew the person also who brought idols to Makkah for
the first time.
Now can you find fault in my statement that Islam was always the
only religion for Arabs!!
I thank you for your frank posts and calling spade a spade.
Q-85 Co-existence, Should Muslims and Christians co=exist?
Yes I know it is a free thread and any one can post whatever he or
she likes. That is why I ignore most of the post. I only answer
those, who answer me back or to some post, which I think need
some clarification.
Islam and Christianity are two major religions on this world. Both
of them believe in God and prophets. It was the time that instead
of doing down each other, they should go to the majority of world
population, who still does not know any thing about God.
Our book says, that as to who was right and who was wrong, will
only bed decided in the hereafter by God. In the present world, we
should each strive and compete with each other in doing good.
That should be the criterion in which we should compete, not in
proving that one is demonic and one is angelic.
Q-86 Contribution to Civilization, Was world living in dark ages till 1800?
I think you believe that , The whole world was living in total
darkness, till 1800 when European started their industrial
revolution.
Just go to any Big Library in any Major City in Europe and only look
at the names and subjects of Arabic Manuscript on Science,
Medicine, Mathematics, Herbs, Plants, and almost all branches of
science.
I can only say that your civilization is a very selfish civilization that
wants to corner all glory for your own efforts and forget contribution
of others.
When Europe was living in Dark ages, Sunshine of knowledge was
abundant in Muslim World and that is a fact which you want to avoid
accepting.
By the same logic Modern Europe got their reflected light from
Arabs and Muslims.
That is the way how science progressed to this level. But you would
like to take away the contribution of Islam and Muslims in
development of Science and Technology and take all credit to
yourselves as if the world was in total darkness till European
Reminiscence.
What pagans believed and what is the reality is not the same thing.
So you cannot say what were the pagan believes and then
superimpose them on Islam, and Quran.
The thing you present as proofs of many god that many people are
or were worshipping many gods and goddesses, is no proof at all.
If you look carefully into each major scripture of the world, you
would find out that they each point to only one God. The people
worshipping false things are in error and that is the mission of all
prophets.
This is your warped definition of God, sum total of all living souls?
What it does mean is only known to warped people like yourself.
Then if God is sum total of all living souls, how come there are
different Gods for different races.
3. Moses did not preach to other people is proof that there are
many gods?
It was only the Last Prophet who was sent to all human kind and for
all times till the day of judgment.
4. Moses heard God behind the fire and Mohammad in the cave?
It was really amusing, you are kissing and praying and worship of
crosses and kissing and praying to statue of Jesus is not idol
worship, but Muslims going round Kaaba, praising God, Lord of the
Universe, chanting and exclaiming His Powers, is Idolatry of highest
order.
3. If you can show that any Muslim going round Kaaba or kissing
the Black Stone, directs his prayers or worships to either of the two,
then you have some point. But you cannot find any.
Kaaba is just the direction of our prayers, as prophet Daniel and
others prayed by kneeling towards the direction of Jerusalem.
You know how illogical and wrong that person s stand is. In fact the
one who follows the current President of USA, follows all past
presidents and respects them all. The one who denies current
President in fact denies and insults all past presidents, because he
violates the US constitution.
After giving this analogy, let me tell you that we do not sideline or
show any disrespect to Jesus and Moses or all past prophets.
It was God s plan to send our prophet in the last and by believing in
him, we in fact believe in all past prophets.
In fact if you reject our prophet, both Moses and Jesus would plead
innocence in front of God and will say that we had told our people
about the Last messenger. They did not believe in him, so we are
innocent of this charge.
Then in Quran and prophetic tradition we are told that if some one
believed in past prophets, Moses, Jesus etc and then he believes in
our prophet, he will get twice the reward.
Listen to Quran Ch 57 V 28
O ye who believe, fear God and believe in His Apostle, and He will
bestow on you a double portion of His Mercy,
What you need is an open mind and will to accept the truth when it
is put before you.
I do not deny that both Jews and Christians worship only one God.
Our book also says that we should tell to Jews and Christians that
our Lord and Your Lord is the one and same
The problem comes only in the concept of God. Some how Jews
have personalized their God, who has special relation ship with
Jewish people and has given them special privileges over other
people and races. They refer to Him as Lord God of Israel.
The Person whom you call Father in heaven is the true God, He is
the only God and only He should be worshipped. Prophets like
Jesus and Mohammad (Peace be on Them both) only showed us the
way to God. They should be obeyed, but not worshipped.
"Not all of them are alike: of the people of book are a portion that
stand (for the right); they rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long.
and they prostrate themselves in adoration"
"They believe in Allah and the Last Day: they enjoin what is right,
and forbid what is wrong, and they hasten in good works: they are
in the ranks of the righteous"
Ch3 V 113-114
It seems that you are very concerned about Little Muslim Children
and women , have you ever counted how many of those have been
killed by your army in cold blood and in air strikes and missile
attacks.
If they have to die one way or other, what it matters to them if they
take some of enemies with them any how?
Q-96 Jihad, Shaheed, What is difference between Shaheed and Murderer?
First I will give you an example. You see military people kill so
many enemies in the battle field, does any one calls them
murderer?
But the same army man, if he kills some one outside battle field, or
in his hometown or because of his personal fight, or some love
affair, the same army man is called a murderer and tried and
punished.
Why the same man who killed hundreds in battle field was
decorated and when he killed a single man outside battle field was
declared as murderer?
It is not the act of killing itself, but the purpose and intention with
which one kills that makes him hero or a murderer.
Here again it is not only the act of killing that makes a murderer out
of a policeman, but the intention and circumstances around the
killing.
After these two examples, let me tell you that Islamic Jihad is a
fight against injustice, tyranny, oppression and mischief on this
earth. If some one carries out that struggle and loses his life in the
struggle, he is called as Shaheed, i.e. Martyr to the cause.
But if any Muslim kills any innocent man, women or child or has
some other intention other than fight against oppression, tyranny
etc or he gets killed in that effort, he is not Mujahid or a Shaheed.
Even if Muslims call or refer him as Mujahid or Shaheed.
Who is real Shaheed is only known to God and it will be told on the
last day.
In fact we have a prophetic saying, that on the Last Day, Out of the
First Few who will be judged, one man will be presented before
God, who had died as a “Martyr”. God will question him as to how
he repaid the Blessings received from God.
The man will reply “I fought in your cause and I laid down my life in
your Cause”
God will reply “You are a Liar! You only fought, because people will
say that you were a brave man. It has been said so”. Thereupon
the man will be dragged to hell fire.
So every fight which Muslim wage is not Jihad and every Muslim
who is killed is not Shaheed in the eyes of God, even if Muslims call
them as such.
A police man or a Military man also kills many, but his actions are
different from a bank robber or a gang fighter.
No you are wrong, if you know your scripture, the biggest Idol was
constructed in Jerusalem by prophet Solomon, towards which All
Jews faced when praying (read the book of Daniel).
And when that idol was also destroyed by Roman General Titus in
70 CE, since that time every Jew is planning to reconstruct it,
demolishing the Mosque built by Muslims there for worship of One
True God.
The house of God in Makkah was constructed by Prophet Abraham
and since that time has always been under the custody of same
people. It has never been captured and it has never been
demolished by any enemy. I wonder if there is any other structure
in the world that can claim the same history.
We prey to The Lord of That House and not That House. Allah does
not live in that house, but He is the Protector of that House, which
was dedicated to His Worship.
But to those who worship their crosses, their saints and relics of
saints and statues of Jesus, this looks like idolatry and not their own
actions.
I said that God’s original revolution in any age was nothing but
absolute truth. It would be true in every age and irrespective of
Scientific Progress. However if you translate the message into
another language, or insert your own commentaries with the Word
of God, it can no longer be future proof.
You can mention the facts, but should not put your own conclusions
also. The marriage was never treated as Child abuse by
contemporary society and that should suffice for you.
Why should I give documentary proof, for an event that was not at
mountains out of molehills.
To prove that Islam is the Middle Path, requires that you compare
the teachings of two religions that are at extreme ends.
It would become clear to any one that Islam is indeed the Golden
Mean Path between the two extremes.
Yes you are side stepping the issue of Alcohol and Gambling. You
are hiding the real price that your western society is paying for
these two evils.
And you jest glossed over this evil by saying that it could have some
benefit for some people of the society. The harms are much larger
than the benefits for a few people and its overall effect on society is
a big negative.
That is why Islam banned it totally and did not allow even a simple
sip or tot. What you said about Underground Network in Iran and
other Muslim countries could be true. There will be people, who
would drink Alcohol, irrespective of what you do, but this would be
limited to only few people and society at large would be saved from
this evil.
That is the beauty of Islam, because it bans all those things which
are harmful to the society at large. Your society on the other hand
struggles to educate people about negative points of Alcohol…the
result being number of Alcoholics are always on the rise in your
society.
The best way to stop any social evil is to ban it from religion.
Unfortunately Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism all fail in this
regard. It is only Islam which has banned it totally and Muslims are
still the biggest society on earth, who do not drink.
What I said about Alcohol also holds true for Gambling….this “Fun”
of few makes “Sorrow” of multitude. Only one who benefits by
Gambling is the Owner of Den!!! Rest all are the looser in the long
run. How much crime, hatred and harm is caused by this Gambling
is for every one to see. But you would advocate to “Overlook” this
harm….in favor of “a li’lle fun”!!!
By banning all sorts of Gambling, fortune telling and sorcery, Islam
has done a great favor to the humanity at large and for simple
folks, but you with “Sharp Minds” cannot appreciate that. What
would life mean without Alcohol and Gambling? Where will be the
“Fun”?
Now what are your views about another social evil, Homosexuality
or Sodomy? Should it be encouraged or discouraged by society?
Noetics8 : All are under capricious mercy of Allah who may or amy
not let them into his abode, even if they lived right as a Muslim. In
other words there is no certainty of anything other than Allah's
unpredictable will
MUQ: Allah's will is very predictable and stated clearly in His book.
Those who willfully reject the message of Allah and teach and
exhort others also to do so, would feel the wrath of Allah.
In the end, Allah will be the sole judge as to how a man lived his or
her whole life.
Those who publish cartoon of our prophet are only lampooning the
character of our prophet. This acts is not only wrong but shows
extreme disregard to the feeling of billions of Muslims. Those who
do such act and those who support them are in fact guilty of crime
against humanity and should be tried and punished by ICJ.
Q-105 Born Muslims, Is very child born is Muslim?
MUQ: Muslim in this case means as per pure human nature. Every
child is born pure and unblemished and innocent. It is the parents
who teach him Trinity and Vicarious atonement and God becoming
human etc. If left to himself the child would worship one God and
not any stone or tree or sun etc. That is what is meant by prophetic
saying that "Every child is born according to true human nature
(which is another word for Islam"
However, I would address only one point of your post, that Islam
uses Double Standards to judge Muslims and those whom you call
infidels.
Now I would ask you, if there is any place in the world where
Double standards are not used, let me give you a few example.
c. Still there is wide ranging double standards the way whites are
treated and the way other ethnic groups are treated in most
countries.
Islam also uses Double Standard, but this is entirely under human
control. Islam does not call any one infidel, in fact it is people who
become infidel. They willfully reject the message of Islam which is
universal for all humans.
Let me give some examples by which you make yourself infidel and
not Islam which makes you one.
A. Allah says I am Only True God, but you say there is no God.
B. Allah says, I created this Universe, but you say it just came by
itself as a result of Big Bang and there is no Creator.
F. Allah says, I will judge you on the last day, you ridicule the idea.
G. Allah says observe regular prayer, fasting and charity, you say I
have more important things to do.
H. Allah says do not eat Pork, you say I cannot live without it.
I. Allah says do not drink Alcohol, you say what is life without
Alcohol.
The list can go on and on. In each of these cases, It is you who by
rejecting commands of Allah make yourself infidel. It is not Allah or
Islam which makes you infidel.
Now if there is any sense of Justice in the world, how the two
groups of people, one who accepts every command of Allah and one
who rejects each can be treated as equals and they should have
same position and reward in the eyes of Allah.
1. One who are ignorant of commands of Allah, since they have not
received the message.
4. Those who go one step further and ridicule the message, the
personality of prophet and Laws of God.
6. Those who use force to destroy Allah s message and Muslims and
try every means to stop it from spreading.
These all are infidels, but they have different grades. I do not know
in which grade you want to place yourself.
Allah is Merciful and Loving, but He is also Just and sees the
contrast between His faithful servants and Willful rejecters.
In the same way, every one who believes in Allah s message is not
on the same platform, they also have grades and shades.
1. Those who sincerely believe in the message and try their utmost
to live their lives in accordance with the message and invite other
also to the same path.
2. Those whose believe only in their hearts, but do not follow the
guidance fully.
4. Those who have Muslim sounding names, but in their hearts they
do not believe in the message.
However, if there are forces that would use force to stop preaching
of Islam or to force their people not to accept Islam, then these
forces should be stopped by force. That is the whole concept of
Islamic Jihad.
MUQ: That is not you or Jesus who is speaking…it is St. Paul who is
speaking and you are parroting his views. Who goes to Heaven and
who goes to Hell is known only to God.
We are humble and we try our best to please God and live our lives
as best as possible in His ways. We are hopeful of receiving His
mercy in the hereafter, however you are very CERTAIN of going to
heaven. Let us each wait and see what happens after we both die
and appear before God.
Q-110 Israel, Why Muslims want to destroy Israel?
Having said so, let us see what Quran says on the subject of Jesus
"O people of Book (Jews and Christian) commit no excesses in your
religion: nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of
Mary was (no more than) a messenger of God, and His Word, which
He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him…." (4: 171)
Where do you find any thing depreciating in it? This and on other
places, Quran tells us that
e. That he was not crucified and God saved him from that inglorious
death and took him bodily into heaven.
f. That he will come back to earth before the final day to restore
peace and justice in the world.
If saying that he was not God is depreciating him, then let me say
we "Depreciate" all prophets of God from Adam to Our Prophet, we
do not say that they were God or God in human form.
But let me say, you people depreciate our prophet. You put
baseless accusations on him, his personal character and his
personal life.
Noetics9 : Only Islamic martyrs for Allah's religion can have any
certainty of a heavenly reward.
MUQ: Islam has built in provision for reformation. It has all the
safeguards built into it, so as to remain current with changing
times. Christianity needs all the reforms it can get, because it is
imperfect, man made and is the plaything of priests and popes for
ages. They modify its teachings and dogmas as they think fit.
Islam is the perfect religion for mankind till the last day. By the way,
burning at stake is the hall mark of Christians. In Islam it is strictly
prohibited to kill anyone by burning at stakes.
MUQ: If by Islamic Reformation, you mean like one which St. Paul
did to Christianity? Sorry that type of reformation is not possible in
Islam. St. Paul distorted pure and simple teachings of Jesus to an
un-intelligible mix of Greek and Roman Philosophy that one is never
able to understand.
MUQ: That is the view of those who are either ignorant or bent
upon distorting teachings of Islam. It can be proven that all these
views are wrong and based on insufficient study of Islam.
MUQ: Those who use their bodies as weapons to kill enemy soldiers
(when they are overwhelmed in number and ammunition) do the
right thing.
Minorities also have rights and duties in Islamic state, much more
than allowed by any other system or religion in the world. Further
Islamic rights to minorities are 1400 years old. While other systems
are only a couple of decades old and are mostly on paper.
If Israel wants peace, it has to come down from its high horse and
negotiate for a true and honorable peace, not the peace agreement
which is signed with Pistol to your head (like Hitler signed with
French after capturing France in WW-2).
Love and peace are directional roads. There can not be a one way
traffic. First Jews have to show that they want real peace in the
area.
Chapter-7 -Islam -2 (On Prophet and Quran)
Unless he repents, believes and works righteous deeds, for God will
change the evils of such persons into good and God is oft Forgiving,
Most Mer4ciful and Whoever repents and does good has truly turned
to God with an acceptable conversion.
There are many such verses in Quran assuring forgiveness for past
sins, if one believes and repents and corrects his or her course.
Then there is a very famous incident in the life of prophet that AMR
BIN AUS, who was an unbeliever and even fought against prophet,
when he wanted to become Muslim, he came to prophet and
prophet extended his hand to accept his pledge, AMR took back his
hand, prophet asked him why.
He said that I have done many sins as a Non Believer and even
fought against you, I want to be sure that once I become Muslim,
my past sins will be forgiven.
Prophet replied, that AMR do you not know that Islam demolishes
what was done before it and Migration demolishes what was done
before it.
I thank you for your research done on the life of our prophet.
From the outset, it can be seen as you are very thorough on the
character of our prophet and just recount at a moment’s notice any
detail about his life.
2. Ishaq 344: I think this refers to end of Battle of Badr, when the
battle of Badr was over, ending in the victory of Muslims. The
bodies of Makkans killed in the battle were dumped in an
abandoned village in Badr.
Next day Prophet visited the well and made the comments what you
have quoted. After what he and other Muslims suffered at their
hands for 13 long years, prophet told that these enemies of Islam
and prophet have met their end in this life and they will face a
grievous penalty in the next life. I do not know what is wrong in
that.
3. Killing of Kaab Bin Ashraf: This Jew of Medina had surpassed all
norms of civilized behavior when he started lampooning prophet,
Islam and Muslim ladies in his poetry. In those days poetry was the
Most Potent media for spreading mischief.
He asked for volunteers for the job and Mohammad bin Masalma
came forward. If the job was to be performed silently, the convict
had to be taken in confidence. That is why Masalama asked
permission from prophet that he wants to say some thing bad about
prophet to this Kaab, prophet agreed to this request.
For your info, our prophet was the most merciful of any warrior
known in the world. During his ten years of warfare, total number
of casualties do not touch even 1000 (on both sides). And with so
less blood shed, he was able to conquer an area of the size of
Arabia for an everlasting possession.
On the outside you looked like a reasonable man, but when it comes
to real issues, we can see the deep rooted hatred and bias in your
post.
There have been countless books written on his biography and the
writers include some of the most learned and gifted scholars from
all countries.
You should have seen the historical perspective. What were Arabs
before our prophet and how were they transformed in such a short
period of time. From where they got that impulse.
There have been many warriors and fighters thru out human
history, whose name was a terror during their lifetimes, but now, no
one even remembers even their names.
All these factors point to only one thing, The extreme attraction in
the message and personality of our prophet.
You quote from Bukhari and other Islamic books, let me ask you
one question, have you ever read Bukhari from beginning to end?
When you want to put such serious charges against our prophet,
you must at least have some real knowledge.
I told you that I am not averse to discuss any aspect of our prophet
s life, but you should do it properly and in orderly manner.
As regards you second post, You are off target. The point was that
whether we should worship Jesus Christ, a Created being or the
Lord God of this Universe, who is un-created and Creator of every
thing.
Bible tells us to Worship That True God and no one other than God,
no matter what it is. A prophet, An Angel, Any Statue, or any such
thing.
It is strange that you do not find a nice word to say about our
prophet, whereas there is a long list of most eminent persons who
have paid eulogies to our prophet is most glorious words.
Even the list of those names would be more than what I can post on
this thread.
I only consider that you have very subjective views on this matter.
There is some thing wrong in your argument and I can see is that
your perspective is wrong.
If you put a black spectacle on your eyes, you will see every thing
as black.
Note:
I am not averse to discuss the sexual life of our prophet. But if you
want to discuss it, you should discuss it objectively. We should do it
in systematic manner, rather than you picking issues from here and
there and then I try to provide justification.
It is the real proof of sincerity of prophet that we have so much
knowledge about sexual life of our prophet, no other personality on
earth could pass that test.
If you have patience and open mind, we can discuss these topics.
But from your post, I do not think that you have taste for these
type of serious and objective discussions.
You would rather go for tangent attacks based on bits and pieces of
knowledge from here and there.
They do not cheat, they do not lie, they do not steal and they do
not kill innocent people. They do not commit adultery or
fornication.
All prophets are protected by God from such wickedness and they
present themselves as role model for their followers.
Regarding your theory that our prophet wanted Arabs removed from
Idol worship, that is why he denied divinity of Jesus, it is only your
assumption and does not satisfy facts or circumstances.
Our prophet had the least idea that he was going to be a prophet,
till Gabriel met him in that cave. The prophet delivered the
message as he was told. So all these concepts that he did this
because of this and that because of that are only in the minds of
people.
A prophet does what he is told by God and not by himself.
Unless you are able to prove that our prophet indeed “heard” from
those Agnostics; your charges are still allegation without any
proofs.
If Makkan could KNOW, who was tutoring the prophet, it was very
easy for them to stop our prophet from seeing him and that would
be end of his revelation.
As if there was a whole committee coaching him all the time, and in
reality every one close to our prophet was his disciple. They were
all submitting themselves to his command. Which teacher behaves
like that in front of one who is his pupil?
Q-129 Prophet, Last Prophet, Can more people claim prophet hood?
4. People may come after our prophet and say I am last prophet.
I do not deny that any one can come and claim “I am the Last
Prophet”. In fact people have done that and have had some
followings too. I think many people like you, who deny true
prophets are grabbed by these false prophets and become their
disciples.
That is free choice given to you on this earth and based on that you
will be judged.
We Muslims are also waiting for one man to come before the end of
the world. But that man will be no other than Jesus Christ, who
was taken up into heavens and did not die, his natural death. So he
will come down and have a natural death on this earth.
So we are very clear for what we are waiting for, But are you sure
that you should be searching for that prophet mentioned in your
scriptures?
In a sense you are right about Bible prophesies, two of the most
important I knew are Deut 18.18 and John chapters 12 and 14,
regarding Comforter or Counselor and all these prophesies are
about our prophet.
B. Quran predicted that God will save the prophet from unbelievers,
it happened exactly Ch 5 Verse 70.
This prophesy is being fulfilled before our own eyes, from the time
of our prophet right until our own times. Islam is always on the
rise. Despite so much propaganda against it, Islam is still growing
in all parts of the world.
The point is people get alarmed when they see angel of God for the
first time. If the fear persists even after angel is left, it is no sign
that Angel was Satan.
The Real issue is what message that Angel has brought…and the
message that angel delivered to our prophet could not be from Devil
or Satan or Evil Spirits. Because no Evil Spirit would teach their
disciples to worship one True God of Universe.
It was very interesting to see that you have seen and met angels of
God…Now there is no hesitation in my mind that you are a mental
case.
Angels of God do not appear to every Tom, Dick and Harry, and you
are no o more than a Tom, Dick or Harry by any standard human or
godly. If the Angels of God instructs you to write such lengthy
posts, then we have to complain to God to send you messages in
short hand.
Stop raising your own level. Try to stay where you are….keep both
feet on ground and do not try to fly….that is brotherly advice from
me.
MUQ To prove any charge you must have evidences and in this
case you have none that our prophet borrowed from any one.
Firstly he was illiterate, did not know how to read or write.
Secondly he spent most of his life in Makkah, where there was
not so many Christians and Gnostics, so to say. Even the Bible
was not available in Arabic by that time. Then there is no
verbatim quotation in whole of Quran from any other book.
Therefore your allegation falls flat on its face. Only allegation
and no proof.
That his message is free from Racial, linguistics and national bias.
Q-135 Prophet hood, Prophesy and Miracles, Are these tests for True Prophet?
But that does not mean that Miracles are strange to our prophet or
that he did not prophesize any things. The miracles of our prophet
are too many and are established on much sound witness system
than Jesus s and Moses s miracles which are established on the
basis of single writer.
I had posted my reply for those who are familiar with the religious
history of the world. I was speaking to Jews and Christians
particularly.
Of course, there are false prophets and there are true prophets. If
you are misled by false prophets and follow them, you will be the
looses. If you reject the true prophet of God, then also you are
looser. Now you can appreciate the mercy of God, who ended the
prophetic cycle by sending the Last prophet into the world.
Any one claiming prophet hood after the last prophet is indeed a liar
and no one should listen to their claims.
But your objection is valid as to why people should accept the claim
of our prophet that he is the last prophet and every one should
follow him.
This is a big topic, but I will outlines a few points for testing the
claims of any prophet.
2. Then we should see the Character of that prophet and his life
style. How was he judged by those who saw him and those that
became his followers and also those enemies who were his
contemporaries. Best judge about a character of any prophet are
the people who saw him.
You are just twisting my words to get your desired answers. The
prophets are such whose words and sermons are included in your
scriptures for future guidance and both David and Solomon belong
to that category. So they are indeed prophets and denial of their
Prophethood is mere insolence.
2. You want us to accept your own words that you do not worship
Cross, or Statue of Jesus, even if we see you kissing the cross and
praying to Jesus and his statue.
2A. And at the same time we should accept your claims that we
Worship Kaaba and Black stone, because we face towards Kaaba
while praying, and kiss the Black stone when we go Kaaba?
3. The Quranic verses you Quoted 2:149, & 150 clearly lay down
the principle of Qibla. This is express instruction from God, then
how could it be idle worship?
3B. Our prophet also faced towards Jerusalem for first 15 years of
his mission, was that also Idol worship? Or when he turned his face
towards Kaaba then it became Idol Worship?
3C. I do not deny that our prophet did kiss the Black Stone, but it
was not an act of worship, but an act which originated from the
time of prophet Abraham. Caliph Omar has said addressing Black
Stone “I know that you are a stone, you can neither harm me nor
benefit me, if I had not seen my prophet kissing it, I would never
have kissed you”, then he kissed the stone.
3D. That is whole idol worship in front of you!!!
Q-138 Perfection, This day, I have perfected your religion?
You asked me two sincere questions and I hope that you will be
patient with me, even if my answers are a little long.
Now the first Question. This day I have perfected your religion.
This is part of Quranic verse in Ch.5 Verse 3 and is one of the last
few verses revealed to our prophet. In fact it was revealed exactly
on the eve of last pilgrimage at Mount Arafat and our prophet lived
only for 90 days after this revelation.
1 The instructions which were being given are now complete and no
new Instruction would come now, which was correct, because no
new do s and don’t s came after this verse.
2 Islam as a way of life is now complete and perfect till the last day.
Both these answers are correct and both are intended. The
questions that come into minds of other groups (Jews and
Christians amongst them), then what about our religion and our
way of life and our prophets?
4. Now when the mission of our prophet was fulfilled and he was
established thru him, the Kingdom of God on earth, God announced
thru this verse that now this great job is completed and from now
on, teachings of our prophet shall be applicable till the last day.
That was in short answer for you first question and I would be
happy to provide any clarifications should you need it and now let
me come to your second question
First of this is belief in Allah as the Only God of this universe and
belief in the prophet hood of Mohammad. This is the central pillar,
without this the structure will fall down.
The second pillar is offering regular prayers, which are five times
daily. If one does not prey, then his declaration of faith is only a lip
service to Islam.
Fifth pillar is Pilgrimage to Makkah (at least once in life time) for
those who can afford it. This helps closer ties between Muslims
from different parts of world and exchange of religious, cultural and
economical ties. It makes International Brotherhood of Muslims.
None of these pillars can be proven to have any bad effect for
society or personality of any Muslim
Q-140 Quran , Arabic, Why God would limit His words in one language?
This is the most sensible approach that one could take on this
subject.
You are very right, the books of Arabic Grammar were written much
after the revelation of Quran. But that does not mean that Arabic
was not a fully developed language before these books were
written.
The fact is Golden age of Arabic was already over before these
books were written. These books only codified what was already
written before. The rules of Grammar were based on past writings
of poets and Quran was always considered as the highest authority
on any Grammatical issue. It was Quran which codified Arabic
Grammar and not otherwise.
Now coming to our topic, how the purity of Quran was preserved,
when no punctuation marks and distinguishing marks for similar
shape words were added to the text of Quran.
The answer is that the Quran was revealed in the form of
recitation!! Angel spoke to our Prophet and he recited the verses
verbatim to his followers. It was also written down also, but the
main source of transmission was thru recitation and memorization.
Quranic re4citation was part of five daily prayers. Prophet and
Imams used to recite long portions of Quran during these prayers,
those behind them would listen and memorize.
Arabic people knew their language, they could read the written
words of Quran and correlate it what they have heard from the lips
of prophet. So they faced no problem in the initial stages.
However when Islam spread and many Non Arabic people came into
fold of Islam, then there was need of punctuation marks and
distinguishing marks for similar shaped letters. These were
invented and at every stage, the importance was given to the
recitation of a trustworthy Reciter who traced his links directly to
the Prophet.
2. Such types of supports are required for books like Bible which
have no authenticity and should be supported by such props.
5. All your talks about KUFIC or NON KUFIC scripts are in vain,
because there is no other Quran in the world, than what we Muslims
read.
Q-143 Quran , Authenticity, Can we compare Quran with Biblical books?
4. I do not say that every corruption was willful and was done with
bad intentions. There could have been intentional or non intentional
mistakes. Whatever might be the case, the proofs are in front of
us. How can we say that Bible is word of God when RC Bible has 73
Books and Protestants has 66 Books.
4. So during the life time of Prophet the Quran was preserved in the
breasts of his companions as well as in a written form. Quran was
always in the open and companions use to memorize it and read it
in their during regular prayers. There were hundreds who had
memorized whole Quran during the life time of prophet.
5. After the death of prophet, within one year First Caliph, Abu Bakr
asked the whole Quran to be compiled in a book form. He asked
Zaid bin Thabit for that task. Zaid made an official copy of Quran
and gave it to Abu Bakr and that Quran remained with him and
after his death with second Caliph Omar.
9. Once the authentic copies were made, Othman sent one copy to
each of the province and deputed one man to recite and teach
Quran to other people. Then Othman gave a ruling that now any
one who has any other writing of Quran should destroy it. From
that time onwards, Muslims have only one Quran which is read
every where.
10. How false is the allegation that Othman wrote the Quran or
changed or modified it and all such allegation. The Quran was
written when thousands of Companions of prophet were present,
Othman, Zaid and all people involved in Writing down Quran were
Companions of prophet and had listened Quran from his own lips.
You know our prophet did not know how to read or how to write.
So whenever he would receive any new revelation from Archangel
Gabriel, he would call one of his scribes and ask him to write it
down. Then he would ask him to read, to make sure that it was
recorded correctly.
By the same time, each and every verse was also written down.
But prophet did not compile whole Quran in book form (may be,
because there was no certainty that new verses would not come
down)
B. Quranic Text during the life time of First Caliph (0-2 years).
After the death of Prophet, during the reign of First Caliph, it was
decided to compile whole Quran in a book form, so that it would not
depend only on memorizers.
First Caliph asked Zaid bin Thabit, a Companion of prophet, to
gather the Quran from those who had written it during prophet’s
time and have at least two witness to prove it. In this way whole
Quran was compiled in a book form and was kept with the Caliph.
During the reign of Omar, the second Caliph, things remained same
as were. He got the Quran from first Caliph and kept with him,.
When he died the Quran was kept with his daughter Hafsa, one of
the wives of prophet.
During the time of prophet and upto second Caliph, people recited
Quran in their own tribal dialect, which would differ in
pronunciation, but would means same in the dialect.
Since by that time Islam had spread only in Arab lands, so there
was no problem (Contd.)
D. Quranic text during the Third (Othman) Caliph (13-24 Years).
During the reign of Othman, Islam spread far and wide and many
non Arabs people accepted Islam. There was some problem in
people reciting Quran in different dialect, so Othman decided to
standardize the text of Quran in the dialect of QURAISH, the tribe of
prophet himself.
When the Quran was written down, Othman asked Zaid to make
seven or eight copies of it. Othman then sent one copy to each
major province along with an official recite.
Othman then asked every Muslim to burn down any other copy of
full or partial Quran that he had, so as there would be no confusion
in future.
Two of the copies of that Quran still exist today and every one can
see them and compare with what Quran is available today.
Now you yourself decide as to what you have written that Othman
included what he wanted and removed what he wanted.
I could have given you many more things in Quran that are copied
from Talmud, OT, NT , Greek and Roman Philosophers and hundreds
of other books, let us check
1. There is only One God and there is none like Him (Copied
verbatim from many places in OT and Talmud).
6. Do justice to all.
9. Spend in Charity.
10. Do fasting.
Quran claims that Islam is the same old religion of all prophets,
which is presented in pure form, after cleaning it from all the
corruptions done by people.
Still you have audacity to compare them with Quran. I can only say
that you lack any sense of decency.
Q-150 Quran, Foreign Words, Why are there foreign words in Quran?
I give you ANOTHER FREE advice. Let me know how many of these
words were not known to Arabs of our prophet's time and they
complained to our prophet that what are these foreign words and
we cannot understand them.
Every language does contain foreign words, that does not mean it is
a fault of the language. Quran was revealed in the language which
was fully understood by the Arabs of prophet's time.
1. Quran says that Miriam, the Sister of Moses which lived 3000
years before Jesus is the Mother of Jesus.
I don’t know from where you Got the idea that Miriam, sister of
Moses was mother of Jesus? I think you refer to Quran Chapter 19
Verse 28, where Jews accusing Mary, the mother of Jesus say, O
Sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of Evil, nor your mother
a women unchaste.
There are several points which you should consider before laying
such a big accusation. Let me point out a few to you.
B. This Miriam belonged to priestly class of Jews, who were from the
descendants of Aaron the first Priest of Jews.
D. But if you want to insist that our prophet was ignorant and every
word in Scripture has to be taken literally, then can you explain the
meaning of following Verse from Matthew Ch1, verse 1
How could Jesus be son of David which passed 1000 years before
him and son of Abraham which passed 2000 years before him. How
can Jesus have two fathers?
So according to your own logic, Matthew did not know this, so his
Gospel is not the word of God?
I have gone thru the referred site, while I agree that Great Designer
has indeed put Great Signs in every one of His creatures, the idea
of Hoopee Bird Chromosome and then to derive it from Quranic
Verses is a very far fetched thing. We should not try to derive such
things using Quran, it is more than a gimmick than proving such
things from Quran.
Q-153 Quran , Topic, Does Quran talks about Mohammad s life and family:?
It is amazing that you say, Quran only talks about Mohammad and
his family. Let us see, does Quran mentions the following:
Thanks for you accepting that “The Muslim world was a beacon of
open mindedness, scientific research and progress in the early
Middle ages” But you are wrong it was not early middle ages, it was
right unto 1700 s that Muslims were at par with other nations in
science, technology, medicine and other fields.
Now I accept that in last 300 years, Muslims have lagged behind in
these fields and one may ask what is the reason for that.
It seems that you think that humanity started only 200 years ago,
when Industrialization of the world started.
Before that there was total void in human civilization and Europeans
just jumped from Stone Age to Steel age.
Islam has a glorious history of 1400 years, just because they are
now down (due to the weakness of Muslims and not in any teaching
or principle of Islam), you make such wide ranging claims.
May be your Grandchildren after 200 years will make the same
comment about your present society.
However if he is convinced that Islam was not the right path, then
he should leave Islamic country and shift his residence to a Non
Islamic country. He cannot stay in Islamic country and reject Islam
publicly. We do not want other people to be tempted.
There was no problem with our society, till you people barged in
with your own ideas to reform our peaceful societies.
You came with your ideas of free sex, legalizing Sodomy and
Lesbian relationships, allowing Bars and Gambling dens and what
not s.
If you call me hypocrite, you should also look at yourself too. Take
any poll, huge majority of Muslim women would like to live by
Islamic rules, but those huge majorities are not sufficient for you,
you would like to impose the views on less than 0.1 Percent of
Muslim women to vast majority of more than 99.9 percent.
What rights Islam has given to women, you should ask from
thousands of Western Women who have accepted Islam and their
figures is increasing every day. If Islam mistreats women, who
more than two thirds of women accepting Islam in West are
Women?
In the eyes of God, there is only one religion that calls for total
submission of our wills to His will. He has sent many prophets at
different times to different nations, but all these prophets preached
the same message.
If you separate religion and politics, what else you expect? From
where you will get moral element into politics?
That comment about beating women was a satirical one and not to
be taken for real. Islam gives most rights to a woman that goes
with her feminine nature. Men and women are complimentary to
each other and not opposite to fight for same thing.
You have spoken some truth when you said that for many centuries
Islam was leading in the role of giving rights to women, but you
have not told the truth when you said that now Islam is in forefront
of denying women their rights.
Islam gave rights same rights to women 1400 years ago, which are
still provided today. There is no change in Islam ‘s attitude towards
women.
What has happened that your society has swung from one extreme
to another extreme.
For may thousands of years, your society was not giving women any
right. They were treated as chattel and had no role so to say. They
had no right to education, property or conducting business. That
was one extreme, at that time, you felt that Islam gave women
many rights, much more than any other society or system.
Now you have gone to another extreme, and try to equate man and
woman. You want to bring women in all walks of life, in areas for
which they are not suited. You call that women freedom, but it is
the exploitation of women, she is burdened with double duties,
home and office. Her beauty is for sale. You cannot sell anything
unless you put a semi nude women there.
These beauty pageants, these cat walks and all such things give
opportunity for men to goggle at her beauty. The free sex
movement has removed her sense of fidelity. And now the Sodomy
and Lesbian movement has proven to be the last straw of sexual
morality.
At least by saying that for many centuries, Islam was the most
generous in giving women rights, you have removed the charge
from our prophet that he enslaved women. At least you have
accepted that he gave women much more rights than any society
gave before him.
You read the rights which Islam gives to women and then compare
it with rights given to women by any other society and system in
the world and you will see the difference.
Islam gives women rights which are still far advanced than what she
gets under the present system of “Sex Equality”.
What I say, that the roles allotted to woman by her Creator are in
no means derogatory and less important.
Chapter-8 (Israel, Palestine and Solution of this Problem)
2. Jews who migrated from every part of the world to share in the
“Palestinian Pie” offered by League of Nations.
6. Arabs by living there since generations did not need any “Right”
from League of Nation or any other International body.
7. Only Jews who were living in Palestine before 1917 had right to
demand a separate state, if they could not adjust with the local
Arabs there. Then they should have been given land in proportion
to their population, which would be only 10 % of Palestine.
10. Therefore by all logic, division of Palestine into two equal halves
by Britain or League of Nation was a fraudulent act and was against
natural justice.
Q-164 Israel Creation, War , Who started war?
This is a very strange question to ask, that Arabs started 1947 war.
2. What option was left for Arabs. UK, USA, League of Nations and
UNO all had conspired against them to divide their lands into two
halves. Where they could go? If they had accepted that decision,
their rights were to be finished for all times to come.
3. They did the right thing by declaring war, so as to bring into the
record that from day-1 they did not accept this fraudulent act. I
hope they did not stop that war on any pretext, so there would have
been no state of Israel by this time.
4. But they were not united and took political and military advise
from the nations who were themselves a party to the whole
conspiracy. They turned to USA, UK and UNO for justice and to
solve their problems. How could they find justice there and the
same thing continues today. The sympathies of all Western Nations
is towards Jews and Israel, because they have shifted their own
problems to Arab lands and are smiling smugly at the daily violence
there.
5. As I told you, the Creation of Israel was illegal. They are the
aggressors and it is they who should be brought to justice. For any
honorable peace terms, both parties should be given equal position.
In the present scenario this is not possible, because Israel has thin
invincibility hallow around them. That has to be punctured one way
or other, so they would sue themselves for peace at any terms..
You see I am from India and in India we have every year thousands
of Anti Muslim riots. These riots result in much loss of life and
property. The sufferers are mainly Muslims.
The same logic is given by LTTE in their struggle against Sri Lanka
Government and the Sinhalese Population, that they always
mistreat Tamils. The position of Government is otherwise, that it is
Tamils who create these problems and try to divide the country.
But to an independent mind, one would ask why should Nazi pick on
small minority in their country and do such inhuman acts on millions
of innocent people, unless they had some ground for that hatred.
And one ground which any Extreme Right View Party holds true, is
that these people are culturally separate and not loyal to the
Motherland or Fatherland.
As to your comment that I do not know what Holocaust is, sorry you
are wrong, I live in India and I know what that means. As late as in
2002, more than 4000 Muslims lost their lives in Gujarat India and
in 1984 More than 4000 Sikhs lost their lives in Anti Sikh Riots in
New Delhi and other places in India.
Q-166 Israel, Does Israel has right to do what it wants in Jewish Country?
Then what Christians did to you Jews over 2000 years, then that
was also OK, because it was Their Country and you should have
kissed the feet of every Christian.
If that is your logic, then why whole world is against Sudan for what
they are doing in DARFUR? It is their Country and they can do what
they like.
As per your logic, it is the law of Jungle out there. The powerful can
do anything it wants with those who have less power. There are no
human rights per see, there is no UNO.
I think you have not learned anything from those 2000 years of
wandering as nomads. You are obsessed with whatever temporary
power you seem to have.
When we are discussing the legality of Israel itself, then the rockets
and Gaza problems are not that important.
For your Information Jerusalem was not the part of Israel which
UNO allotted it in 1948, so your occupation of that land is illegal.
But if your logic is that, we took it by force, then what you took by
force, you will use by force also.
I have seen that you seem to swing between two extremes, you do
not have a balanced view of the situation and only believe in crisis
management.
You may not call Jews Christ Killer, but they were branded like that
in past 2000 years and persecuted thru out Europe.
This is history and you should know it, right or wrong, it is history.
Just because you do not like it will not change the facts.
It is a justified demand and every peace loving and just man should
support their claims.
You see nothing wrong with Zionism because you are not at the
receiving end of it. Nazism was also OK, unless you were a Jew.
Every type of racism is equally bad, Nazism, Zionism, White Racism
or Black Racism. It is only Islam which is free from all these “isms”.
A universal religion for human kind.
Q-168 Israel Justification, India and Pak, Analogy between Israel and Pakistan?
I told you before, do not find analogy between creation of Israel and
partition of India.
When India was partitioned, one group of India moved from one
part to another. No one came from outside.
You have always dealt in double standards and would always do so,
because in the heart, you are racist and believe in supremacy of
white race over others.
a. You had said correctly that Jews were persecuted in Europe for
centuries and had a desire to go to their homelands. There is
nothing wrong in that aspiration provided it can be achieved without
injustice to others.
b. You must appreciate that it were not Muslims who had driven out
Jews from Palestine and it were not Muslims who were persecuting
Jews in Europe, so they were not in any way responsible for the
suffering of Jews.
c. If you look at historical records, you would find that Muslim
countries always provide shelter and protection to Jews who came
to their countries fleeing from persecution.
d. That was despite the fact that our scriptures say so many
negative things about Jews, but we Muslims are advised to deal
justly with them and deal with them fairly. So long as they do not
harm us or plan against us and try to subvert our state.
f. Britain after WW-1 , rewarded them for this support to allow large
scale migration of Jews to Palestine. But the demand of separate
state for Jews was not accepted by world opinion till the end of WW-
2, when Jews had gathered the general sympathy of the world due
to their sufferings in Germany.
g. Now to carve a separate state where people are already living for
centuries, is not such an easy matter that you just allot the state to
them and then expect that things would work out themselves.
I. These Palestinians had all rights to take back their lands, but they
were branded as Trouble Makers, Un Civilized People , Barbaric and
so on. For many decades they went to every body in UN and other
forums, but no one listened to them, do they not have a right to
take up arms? What does Natural Justice says about people to take
back what belongs to them?
3. There is no need to say that this decision was taken without the
consent of Arabs or Palestinians living in that land.
7. After the end of WW.1, Britain got a toe hold in Palestine and put
into operation their already agreed promise to Jews. The first step
was to allow large scale migration of Jews into Palestine.
8. And that was the starting point of friction and fighting between
Jews and Arabs in Palestine. Since Arabs never agreed or made a
party to division of Palestine, their resistance to Jewish migration
was justified and right or every ground.
12. From the above it is very clear that Creation of Jewish homeland
in Palestine was already agreed even before WW.1. It was decided
without approval of Arabs or Palestinians.
The action of Britain was therefore against natural justice and was
only enforced by machination, you may call it Current International
Law, resolution of League of Nation, Bilfour Declaration or UNO
resolution. It was a fraud on Arabs and Palestinians and since they
were neither taken into confidence nor agreed to any of this, they
have a right to protest and take back their lands.
The British divided Palestine in equal half with bad intentions and in
a very partisan manner.
Most of the Arabs present in Israel are from those areas which
Israel captured subsequent to 1948 and those living there for
centuries. When the partition of Palestine itself is in question and
doubt, these issues are of secondary nature.
I think your standards of justice are not very uniform and standard,
they vary as to who the parties to conflict are.
PLO and HAMAS are there only because of Israel. There was no
PLO, There was no HAMAS and there was no Terrorism in Palestine
before 1917, i.e. from the time, these immigrant Jews set foot in
Palestine. Remove them and you will have no PLO and no HAMAS
and no terror in the area.
It seems you are very fond of laughing and any thing and every
thing that is not as per own way of thinking moves you to laughs.
Your Triune God was helpless when Son of God was being crucified
in front of His own eyes and was crying for help.
Allah tries His servants in state of well being and as well as in state
of hardship and miseries. May be the current occupation of Zionist
in Palestine is a trail for both.
This is not the first incident, Christians also took the command of
Palestine in 1000 CE after 99 years they were thrown back, may be
the similar fate is awaiting Jews.
After all Jews were also praying for 2000 years in wilderness, before
their YHWH heard their prayers.
So my advice to you is do not gloat over the current state of affairs.
Our religion teaches us to show humility when you are successful
and be patient and show perseverance when the goings are rough.
But rest assured of one thing, sooner or later we will turn every
Zionist out of land of Palestine, only those Jews will be living there
who lived there before WW-1.
Your post depicts what did actually happen, but you are presenting
the wrong version of it.
Imagine the case of USA, Australia and any other country, the
reaction of original residents would not be any different than what
was of Arab Palestinians. But there was one difference, Arabs were
ruled by British, who were also part of the same fraud. And
Immigrants Jews were rich, educated, ruthless and were had the
blessings of whole Europe and Western World.
It is ironic that you call British as Pro Arab, when they were the
original people who allowed Jewish Migration to Palestine in the first
place.
The whole scenario which you have described is exactly like bandits
or thieves who occupy the land and possession of some one else
and then try to bargain and demand terms for equitable distribution
of property.
Only the Jews who were residing in Palestine prior to WW-1 had any
claims on the land of Palestine and Palestine should have been
divided between Arabs and Jews based on the percentage of their
population as on that date, if those Jews wanted their separate
land.
That was the natural justice and that rules were violated by your so
called League of Nations, UNO, Britain and other western countries.
They place Original Arabs, Original Jews and Migrant Jews on the
same footing and that is their mistake. All your arguments are also
based on the same logic and therefore not acceptable.
If the claims of migrant Jews are to be upheld, then the claims of
Red Indians and Aborigines of Australia and all other such people
should also be up held and USA and Australia and most countries of
South America should be divided into two halves, one half for new
immigrants and other half for the old Inhabitants.
Well you do seem a jolly fellow and have a very crooked sense of
history.
Then I think prior to that USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and
Most of South American nationals have to vacate those lands for the
original inhabitants of those lands. You should apply the same rules
to every one, should you not?
By the way when Muslims captured those lands, they did not drove
out local people, they lived alongside and made it there home. Bulk
of local population accepted Islam and very few original Arabs
moved there in fact. That is the tale of each and every country
which Muslims conquered. They made it their home.
It was not like White races that wherever they went, they
exterminated the original inhabitants of those lands. The practice
they learned from Jews of 3000 Years ago, when they came to
Palestine for the first time and exterminated the local people living
there.
Loosing and winning wars and battles is the order of day. They do
not prove any thing. If Arabs lost to Jewish armies between 1948-
1967, it does not mean that they loose all rights on the lands.
Winning wars and battles is not the solution to any problem..
The two state theory might be the solution, but the Palestinian state
would be established by dividing the area which was given to Israel
in 1948. Not the solution which Jews of Israel are proposing today.
West Bank and Gaza belong to Jordan and have no connection with
solving the Palestinian problem.
I think you in your jolly mood, have a built in detector to decide
who are responsible for any crime. May be you are related to
Sherlock Holms and other such characters.
The truth remain that so far, neither Bin Laden, nor any one has
been convicted of crimes of 9/11 attacks Not only that, none of the
GITMO inmates have been convicted of plotting or being responsible
for 9/11 attacks. That is despite they being in illegal custody for
more than 7 years.
1. Palestine was not the home land of Jews. When they descended
there during Moses time, the area was already inhabited by other
persons, whom Jews removed to possess the land. So from the
very beginning, Jews are used to removing people and taking over
their land.
3. They got the second lease of life after 70 years and rebuilt their
temple and started living there. But the rejection of Jesus was a
final warning o them and they were removed from the land of
Palestine in 70 CE by Roman General and dispersed in all the lands.
Jews were not a power in Palestine from 70 CE onwards.
9. The arrival of Jews in 1948 repeated the 3000 years old history,
since from that day, the area has not seen a day of peace and shall
never see, till the solution of 70 CE or Nebuchadnezzar is again
applied.
10. And I think that is the solution which Zionists in their arrogance
and false pride are being driven to slowly and slowly.
Q-178 Israel, Palestine History, Did Turks stole Jewish Home Land?
To say that Turks and Arabs stole Jewish homeland means that you
have no knowledge about Palestine and its chronology.
When Arabs conquered the Land of Palestine in 640 CE, it was from
Christians and one condition of peace treaty before handing over
the control of Jerusalem was that no Jew would be allowed to settle
there. This event is recorded in Islamic history.
Any Jews who resettled in Palestine were those who were allowed
by Muslims, when they fled from the persecution of Christians in
Europe and elsewhere.
UN or League of Nation giving homeland to Jews was not correct as
explained earlier. The injustice cannot become justice if done by
any International body.
Their action as I told you would be like dividing USA in two halves,
one for white and one for blacks. Or dividing Britain in two halves,
one for whites and another for Asian community residing there.
The refugee problem started from the day European and other Jews
started migrating to Palestine after the end of World War-1. Before
that there was no problem of Jews and Arabs in Palestine.
If Arabs did big mistake by declaring war in 1948, they may undo
the mistake by forcing Israel to come to senses and do the justice.
I know what US and West means by Palestine State and they want
it to include a tiny part of Jordan which Israel captured in 1967 war.
They want to give away a land which did not belong to them to start
with.
The logic of Might is Right and we can make Black as White could
work for some time but not always.
Then would Jews and Israel be the only people, who would be
judged on the basis of Ancient History and no other people?
You mean to say that there was no migration of Jews from Europe
to Palestine?
You mean to say that idea of Jewish Homeland originated from Jews
living in Palestine under Turkish Empire?
I had thought that you would have some knowledge about history,
but it seems you have none.
Q-180 Israel Justification, Is Israel justified?
I like your comment that Jews lived in Israel for thousands of years
and some of them as Arabs. I never denied it and say that Jews,
Christians and Muslims were living peacefully in Palestine for many
centuries.
There was hardly any tension between them. Why all this changed
when Britain got a toe hold there after WW-1?
That is where the tensions between Arabs and Jews started, and
the seed of hatred were sown.
That is the point, we should discuss and not our mutual hatred of
HAMAS or Israel. Let us discuss why Israel was crated.
I do not condone any wrong act done by anyone. It is you who only
blame one party and do not allow justice top prevail there.
You are forgetting one basic rule in resolving such issues. It is not
the political name of the land or the name of country which matters
really. It is the question of its population.
The people living in land known today as Saudi Arabia were living
their since generations. They have been under control of Egypt,
Turkey, Family of Ibn Saud, and so many others before them. The
country had been named by so many different names thru these
centuries and like that. Despite all this political changes, the native
population continues to live in their homes.
The same is the case for Palestine. Muslims, Jews and Christians
were living there for centuries. Might be the area was under control
of Turkey, Egypt or any other nation. It could have beeen called by
any name.
If disputes arose between local Arabs, Jews and Christians and they
wanted to have separate lands for themselves, it could have been
divided according to their actual population. No body denies that.
The Palestinians who were uprooted from their lands are demanding
their lands, and that must come from the portion which was given
to Jews in 1948, not the land occupied by Jews after 1948 thru
wars. Because that land does not belong to Jews and Israel at all.
The land captured during war, must be handed over to the parties
after the end of hostilities.
Now the whole idea of Palestinian state is linked to the West Bank
and Gaza which Israel captured during 1967 war, which is another
fraud being done to the whole issue. The demand for Palestinian
state is much older than 1967.
As the World Super Power, US should try to remain neutral and try
to broker peace between parties, instead of supporting and helping
one side in each and every conflict and each and every debate.
The problem is , do the parties want real peace? If they want real
peace then they have to understand the other side of story and try
to deal people on equal basis.
From what I have seen and heard, Your and Jews attitude is at the
least haughty and you only consider your version as the true
version and disregard all other people’s views. These are not signs
of wanting peace.
I hope the sooner it penetrates into your minds, the easier it would
be to obtain peace.
c. So the strategy used was that, there would be a short brisk war,
in which Israel due to its initial advantages would advance and
capture enemy land, after a few days, there would be a UN
enforced ceasefire and then offer for talk. If you talk, it would be
on Israel’s terms and you have to accept what all happened before
the start of war.
There are many sayings of our prophet, which speak about rising
influence of Jews and Christians near the end of world. Our
scholars (during hey days of Islamic Civilization) were unable to
figure out how could Jews attain Power and dominion. Now we see
before our own eyes the event unfolding and things happening.
Q-185 Israel, Palestine, Solution, Could Arab and Jews live peacefully?
I like your comment that you do not like Jews. Just be sure that
these “Anti Semitic” guys are not around, because you may get
booked for a few years for saying that you do not like Jews.
I also do not like Jews, but that does not debar me for being just
with them, That is the teaching of our religion, to be just and do
justice irrespective of whatever are the circumstances.
You said Jews and Arabs should live peacefully, in fact they were
living peacefully for all those 1300 years before this Idea of Jewish
Homeland started after end of WW-1. In fact Jews those who were
living in Palestine before WW-1 have right to demand their separate
homeland, but that should be in proportion to their population in
Palestine before WW-1. I think that is a very fair solution. Jews
living in other countries have no right to demand land in Palestine.
Then you said that Jews were powerful people that is why they won
their homeland. Let me say, it was due to one sided support by UK
and other White nations that Jews became so powerful.
I said that about 9/11, no one has yet been convicted by a court of
law for planning and executing those attacks. The proofs and
conviction is only from Media and from politicians. You have to
convict some one in a court of law before taking action against him,
irrespective of the situation.
But I do not want to be day dreaming, and I do not think that Arabs
and Jews cannot leave peacefully in Palestine as they were doing for
past 13 centuries, just before those European Jews landed there
after end of WW-1.
Q-187 Israel Palestine Solution, How sincere are talks between Israel and Arabs?
Yes that is good advise, let us sit and talk about it, but the talks
should be honest and include all parties to the disputes and discuss
all issues.
But despite so many pretensions, that is not what Jews and Israelis
want. They put such preconditions that talks never take place or
even if they take place there is no result.
The end result of peace talks would be that “Arabs wont get any
thing” and “It will be portrayed that they are the ones who do not
want peace”.
Q-188 Israel, Palestine Solution, What would be a just solution to this problem?
I said at the outset that there are two sides of the story, you and
your friend are presenting Jewish side and I am presenting the
other side. We have to reach a compromise.
You are wrong when you say that Jews and Israel have made all
efforts to reach a peaceful solution. From 1948 till 1967 Jews and
Israel never recognized PLO or Palestinians as a party to any
dispute. They were always against any talks or getting a solution
by talking to them directly.
Then after 1967 War, the only solution they are talking about is a
tiny Palestinian state to be established on the land they captured in
1967 war. That land does not belong to Israel at all. So the
Palestinian state has to established by dividing some to the land of
Israel that it had in 1948 and not that which it captured in 1967.
Jews and Israel are fooling the whole world that they are being kind
hearted by giving a small portion of land which does not belong to
them at all!!
So any serious efforts from Israel would begin by vacating all lands
captured by it since 1948 and then establish a Palestine state by
dividing Israel’s 1948 boundaries.
Looks a very far fetched and extremist solution to you? But I say
that grab it before that option is still available to you.
It is like a thief whom the owner asks to return half the stolen
goods and he will have title to the other half!!!
So the injustice done in 1948 still persists and Palestinians have not
remained quite even for one day, that shows that partition of
Palestine in two halves was illegal and was not done by mutual
consent of Jews and Palestinians.
For your info, Partition of India into India and Pakistan was agreed
upon by the majority of leaders of both nations and it was only
ratified by Britain. That was a legal act and binding on both parties
and not the division of Palestine into Israel and Jordon.
Who fired the first shot? I think no one can find that out with any
accuracy. Each party will blame the other.
But Jews (coming from Europe) are the aggressors per see because
they had no claim on the land where other people were living for
centuries. Any claim they had was already expired due to time
limit.
Loosing a war is not the solution for any problem. They lost 1948
and 1967 War, they could win in 2010 or 2011. If you want to solve
any problem then War is not the solution. War is only a mean.
The issue of division of Palestine in equal halves was not correct and
that injustice continues to this date.
If Jews and Israelis would have tried to solve this problem really, it
could have been solved. But they tried to solve it using force and
forcing Palestinians and Arabs to agree to the solution which they
propose and which they want and this approach is not working.
If you are worried about where the next Missile will fall, the
Palestinians are also wondering since 60 years, when the next Bomb
and plane and Bulldozer would come and destroy their homes and
lands.
No body cared about their miseries, now at least they are able to
transfer about 10 percent to their opponents also. .
I want to take a slight detour and tell you about Hindu- Muslim
problem in India and India Pakistan problem and what role British
played there.
1. India was a country which was ruled by Muslims for more than
1000 years. Muslims were in minority but they captured most of
the country and established their rule.
2. There were many fights, between Muslims and Hindus, but they
were at state levels and normal Hindus and Muslims lived peacefully
thru out India.
3. This all changed when British got a toe hold in India in 1757.
They decided to rule with their divide and rule policy. They turned
this small ruler against that, helped that prince against that and
slowly and slowly ruled the whole India.
My point from the above episode is that once the confidence and
cordial relations between two communities or religious or ethnic
groups become sour, it is not easy to repair them. Each group
become suspicious of other and sees its every move from negative
angle.
By changing the demography, they did get much higher share than
what their population demanded.
Then as you told, there is no end of extremists in Jews who lay their
claim on whole land of Canaan and preach that and get a handsome
following and many of them are now in power.
This all results in mutual suspicion and mutual blame game. You
blame Palestinians for every problem and they believe Jews and
Zionists.
What will be the final solution that has to be discussed between the
parties. Like any family dispute, first it will be decided who is the
aggrieved party and who the aggressor is.
For the time being, Zionists think that they can bend these
Palestinians to accept any peanuts that they throw before them.
That is why I said, that Jews and Zionists first have to come down
from their Military and Moral High horses and realize that they are
the real aggressors and have wronged these fellows for past 60
years.
After all you did the same for Iraq and planning to do it for Iran that
they be not the threat for Israel, why not the reverse idea and
make Israel such that it is no threat to any of its neighbors?
Remove all offensive armory and place strong UN force to patrol the
secure borders?
First of all Palestinians want that Israel should discuss with them on
equal footing.
What happens is that Israel never puts forward any real terms of
peace like going back to original 1948 boundaries and vacation
Jerusalem.
And the West and their Media just love the, reasonableness and
peaceful attitude of Jews, and ,stubbornness of Palestinians.
Q-195 Israel, Palestine Solution, All people of WW-1 time are dead
Thanks for your thought provoking post. Yes the people who were
living at the time of WW-1 are mostly dead but their children are
alive and they inherit the land after them.
That is what goes on with passing of each generation and in every
country and in every race.
You cannot paint all people in Germany and Nazi party with the
same brush and in the same way, you should not paint all Israeli
soldiers with the same paint.
There would be some who hate Palestinians with the bottom of their
hearts and some who are more tolerant. This happens in every
country and in every society, so you should make allowances for
that.
Israel was created illegally is the matter between those who are the
parties to the issue. Why should the whole world care what it was.
You are right the word “Peace” was never heard in Palestine, from
the day Zionists landed there in swarms and it will never know that
word till they are removed or come to a just agreement with those,
who were wronged.
If you think that passage of time, will make that illegal action legal,
then it is your mistake.
You have used all type of force and every thing in your power to
sweep the issue under carpet, but you have not succeeded and will
never succeed.
You have in the past murdered Sheikh Yaseen (The Blind man in
wheel chair) and many other Hamas and PLO leaders, but you kill
one and ten will be born to take their place.
Violence has never solved any problem in the past and violence will
never solve any problem in future.
So it is high time to come down from your high horse, swallow your
false pride and discuss real issues with Palestinians as to how to
solve this problem amicably.
Now you are talking some sense. Jews and Muslims were living in
peace in Palestine for past 1200 years without any blood shed.
Why did it all change after WW-1 when Britain got a toe hold there?
I agree that Jews wanted their home land, but you cannot get your
homeland by evicting people who were already living there.
Muslims did not banished Jews from Palestine and it was not their
fault that Jews suffered at the hands of Christians in Europe and
Elsewhere. Why should they pay and sacrifice their homes and
possessions because these banished Jews want to return after 2000
years.
Then from 1948 till today, Israel has been very harsh towards the
Palestinians. PLO and Hamas are recent phenomenon and have
been born after years of frustration when all efforts to find out
peaceful solutions failed..
Love and hate are mutual phenomenon. You cannot expect the
other party to love you while you hate them.
Jews and Israel has been using all means and disguises and
intrigues to dispossess Palestinians of their lands and homes. They
are planning openly and secretly against the Third Muslim Holy
place, to demolish it by hook or by crook and built their temple
there.
So if any solution to this problem has to be worked out, first Israel
and Jews have to acknowledge the wrongs they have done to these
people all these years, then they have to work out a solution on
give and take basis. All lands captured by Israel after 1948, have to
be returned. Israel’s boundaries have to be fixed permanently.
But I do not know that at present Jews and Israel are in any mood
to even consider these terms, but a time will come, when they
would beg for these terms, but they will not be in a position to
negotiate.
Palestinians have been fighting against that injustice since that day
and the struggle is continuing to this day.
It has taken nay twists and turns along the years, but the basic
problem is still there.
I know Israel would want to dilute that problem and would want
that Palestinian state, if formed should be on a small piece of land
which Israel captured during 1967 war. By showing that carrot to
Palestinians they would rob them of their original demands to nullify
1947 partition.
Let us see if they are successful in their stick and carrot approach,
so far there is no result. Many injustices in the world have been
ratified, let us see if this would add to that list.
Q-199 Israel, Violence, Killing Innocent women and Children
I think Zionists have found a new excuse for killing Innocent Women
and Children, that Terrorists are hiding behind these women and
children. I think they use the same technique when they deal with
Hijackers and those who held hostages. To kill these hijackers and
hostage takers and do not bother about innocent people trapped
there.
Winning and loosing wars and battles is not such a thing that you
take that as a basis of right and wrong. Right and Wrong have to
be justified in a reasonable way and with evidences.
Just because Israel is powerful now and no Arab nation can defeat
it, does not mean that Its stand is Right and Just.
If winning the war is the basis of right and wrong, then I think, you
have a very wrong yardstick.
What you said about the Dilemma of your soldiers was exactly like
some of those Nazi Soldiers who persecuted innocent Jews during
WW-2. Their conscience told them that they were doing wrong, but
inspite of this they followed Orders.
The same is the case with your soldiers, many of those knew that
they were doing wrong, but still they followed orders. They were
more hypocrite than those who were doing these with zeal. That
was the verdict of Nuremberg Trials, was it not.
If violence is not solution for any problem, they why this call for
Jihad.
c. These are the limits of Jihad, i.e. when enemy wants to stop
hostilities and wants real peace to prevail.
e. Therefore Jihad is not the final solution, but a tool to bring the
peace.
If you are Fed UP, then it is your problem and not ours. The peace
must be real honorable and just. Not twisting your arms till you
accept whatever terms are given to you.
To say that USA spies on Israel is like saying that a Pro World Heavy
Weight Champion spies on a Light Feather Weight Amateur to learn
some tricks from him.
You should have at least some respect and loyalties for the country
which help create you, maintain you, arm you and protect you.
And what you to show in return? What good have you done to
USA? It is only because of you that USA had to fight a proxy and
totally illegal war in Iraq. It is because of you that USA may engage
in fight with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and many other countries.
And you have cheek to call him as a simple Allie? Where is the
gratitude? Where is the Loyalty? It is like biting the hands that feed
you. I have yet to see the case of one sided love affair than
between USA & Israel.
It cannot be rational, unless you have some very strong hold over it
and I think Jews and Zionist’s Vice like grip on US financial and
News Media is the main reason for this.
And what USA gets from you, curses and threats and abuses to its
highest dignitaries, every time their conscious force them to say
some good words about Palestinians and protest mildly on your
inhuman atrocities.
3. Same holds for your policy in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and every
other country in the world. As I said above, only exception is Israel
and US will be willing to sacrifice itself on altar of Israel. It cannot
be natural love, it shows the strong hold that Jews and Zionists
have on your media and your financial institution.
4. US has taken on itself the enmity of 1.5 Billion People and 60 +
nations just to please its small minority of Jews. Don’t kid yourself
that there are any higher issues of justice and fair play are at work.
5. You again speak of double standard when you say that Iraq war
was illegal but your army was not targeting civilians. When you
drop bombs in a civilian area whom you think it would kill? Do your
bombs have built in Al Qaeda and Taliban detectors?
Q-203 Israel, Innocent Killing, Does Israel not kill women, children?
Israel does not want to kill women and Children but HAMAS makes
them as human shield.
a. First of all there are many cases of Israeli planes bombing and
attacking with Missiles thickly populated areas. What would be the
accepted levels of casualties in those areas and how it is ensured
that innocent women and children would not be killed?
How can you say that no one hears the plight of Jews. If any Jew is
killed the news is repeated non stop on all World TV News Channels
for many days.
Now after Al Jazeerah has started, some of that filters to World and
for that all Western Nations and News agencies are so much against
Al Jazeerah.
And you say that Jews have no propaganda channels in west. Aid
for Israel is a permanent feature of many Church and News
Agencies.
But as I said, the violence and force shall not solve any problem
from the root. The only solution is thru dialogs and to end suffering
of human kind, irrespective of their race, language or religion.
But each of us are busy in forwarding our own cause and our own
problems and do not recognize or understand problems of others.
Most of the problems which you are having in Europe and USA are
only because of Israel. It is the main cause of tension between
West and Muslim world.
You one sided and blind support to Israel and its atrocities on
Palestinians, is the main source of anger.
And you are also wrong, when you say that Jews give a damn what
world media says about them. In fact they make most noise in
world media when any one says any thing bad about Jews, Israel,
or Holocaust.
The current going in West is that anything and every thing that has
any connection with Any Scripture is to be opposed at any cost.
Therefore it can be safely stated that Messianic Jews are the True
Christians indeed. The present day Christians are followers of St.
Paul, who introduced Trinity, Divinity of Jesus, Original Sin and
Vicarious atonement etc. into the pure teachings of Jesus. These so
called Christians are not true followers of Jesus.
Present day Jews are those who rejected the message of Jesus and
decided to follow all prophets that came before Jesus.
Regarding Kosher food, will you please explain logic behind not
eating meat and milk together? I could not understand it.
In fact they were doing the same thing for past 2000 years. Their
form of showing gratitude is to burn people at stake, that is what
they were doing!
I do not know what got into Present Pope s mind to think that this
was wrong and he started apologizing to Jews
By the way, Jews are showing their gratitude to Palestinians for the
shelter and peace they got at their hand during past 1200 years.
Muslims are living as they were living all these years. Truth does not
change in first or 21st Century.
So what you say means that Jews were not supposed to preach
their religion to others. This is very correct and that is what we also
say.
Chapter-9 (Misc. Topics)
When the media reports the truth and when they put their views
and analysis are two different things.
That would be obviously wrong, but that is what your media does
with respect to Islam and Muslims. When they do see any act of
violence by Muslims, they report it and then generalize it saying
that all Muslims are like that and do that.
This is a subtle trick, which very few are able to detect. When
asked, they would refer to the website and say, See what I told you
is true.
This is the technique which you are also using. I do not know
whether you are a victim or the one expert in this maligning
campaign. From your reactions, it looks like you be one of the
latter group.
You ask me how come Jews control World Media? I refer you to the
following link to read a monograph on this subject. (I usually do not
like to refer to links, but I cannot post the article here because of
the size).
http://www.scribd.com/doc/8004976/Who-is-Controlling-Media-in-
USA
If you wished for a greater media control, then world would never
know that there is a land known as West Bank or Gaza or that
Palestinians are still existing. Jews control the media, but they do
not control the World, which is controlled after all by a Merciful and
Just God. Slow in Anger, but Swift in punishment.
I thank you for your gift and generosity that you provide to Arabs
living in Gaza and West Bank. I would only wish that you change
your name and appearance and try to live like an Arab in those
lands.

And
That is how statistics and common sense goes down the drain, if
you start using statistics to your own vested interests.
Q- 215 Answers Short. Why should our posts be short?
I see you are back with your Big Cut and Paste Jobs.
Why don't you ask your angel to speak to you in precise and concise
language.
Has no one told you that the length of any post is inversely
proportional to the message it contains.
The longer your message is, more people would ignore it.
So keep it short and mention one point at one time. If some one
replies to that post the next point.
This is a free advice from your opposite group, how to improve your
personality and writing habits.
Q-216 Death, Why God Creates Human beings knowing fully well that they will
die?
Yes I can answer that Question. God has sent us for a limited
period on this earth, because we are undergoing a test.
Any test must have a limited time period and that period is our
life time.
God will ask us what we did when we were living on this earth
and enjoying all of His Bounties Free of Charge?
A good and pious king is indeed beneficial for growth and happiness
of a country as well as a great and true democratic leader.
We have examples of both types of people in Kingship as well as in
democracy.
The war in Iraq is agreed by most people as an illegal war, all the
reasons cited for war have been proven wrong. If some one after
200 years write that it was a justified war, his comments would not
mean anything, because he would not have sufficient knowledge.
I have also read in National Geographic that Slave Power was not
the main source used by Egyptians to built Pyramids.
They claimed that since for many months most areas of Egypt were
flooded with water, common people had no work to do.
That however does not totally negate the use of slave power.
Slaves were a sort of resource like animal power to be used as and
when required.
In the end, I may Say (If you do not mind) God Knows Best.
The best way to stop a thing is controlling the source and not the
buyers. When you give freedom to people to produce anything and
then only want to educate the buyers to not buy the product, it will
never work.
That is why Islam strikes at the source of evil and not prunes only
the branches. In Islamic system, evils acts and deeds cannot be
done openly, so as to tempt others. This results in safer society,
where evil is always underground and hidden. In your system the
evil deeds are done openly and you want people to make their own
choice. The result is that evil keeps on increasing with time.
Q- 220 Gun Control Laws, Is Gun Control solution for Campus Violence?
The guns are needed as self defense, people should have right to
self defense, so some sort of Gun Control is required.
This age limit of 21 or 25 years is not the right idea. People who
are respectable citizens should have guns for their personal
protection.
The question here is not gun control, but why more and more such
cases of campus violence are taking place.
The reason may be because kids see too much violence on TV and
Video games. A child sees 60,000 murders (on average) on TV
before he becomes adult. Can you blame him if some of them
become insensitive to murder or have no sense of right or wrong?
People are slowly getting more violent and that is a fact. It needs
review of our ways of life.
If you ask owners of Gambling dens, Strip Joints and Live Show
dens….their only justification is that they bring money. That is why
Is aid, if they found there is more money in “Incest Only” joints,
they would go for it.
So for economic reasons you would want to open these rather than
bars.
Then after some time if you calculated and found out that a brothel
would indeed fetch more money than a Gambling Joint, or a live
show joint, then you would close them and open a brothel....Just for
economic reasons.
And if a Incest Only Joint where people can have private and
uninterrupted sex with their dear and near ones would be a still
better economic option and would bring lots and lots of tax
revenue...you would recommend that too ....just on economic
grounds.
Then what about Drugs and Smack Joints that could bring more tax
revenues than all these sex shops...what about that on Economic
Reasons?
I think for people like you nothing matters except dollars, they
come any way, it does not matter.
But when it comes to Jews, you upheld their 2000 years old claim.
Why this dual standard.
You on the other hand would be selective and try to save your
people from the charges of Extermination, Taking people as slaves
and using their resources for getting illegal benefits.
If Israel says Day is Night…US and European will echo it. If Israel
says God gave Palestine to Jews for exclusive possession….they will
echo it.
I doubt if your nations have any self respect in front of Jews and
Israel…
But why you, as a jolly fellow would care for that….Go and enjoy
you 18 holes on the golf course….I only hope your handicap on golf
course is not as rotten as your reasoning and understanding
powers.
So US decision is the sole case in which any one has been convicted
of 9/11 attacks.
I do not reject any Al Qaeda link in 9/11, I only say that 9/11 was
not investigated with the details and depths the crime required. It
was a summary trial and summary judgment. The justice should be
transparent and fair. In case of Al Qaeda it was none.
Yes by using puppet regimes in Jordan and Iraq, US can get any
thing it wanted. The problem of Palestinian state is older than
1967, so the solution prior to 1967 has to be applied.
You say us forget Israel proper, but let me tell you, a day will come
when these Zionists would agree for a toe space in Palestine, but
they would have no choice.
A black man has become president of US, for you it might be the
big deal, but not for us. We have many black presidents and prime
ministers in our countries.
My observation that Whites are exterminators is not a claim in
vacuum. This history of South America, North America, Australia ,
New Zealand is all proof for that. May be you do not like action of
your ancestors, but that is what they did.
The policy was simple, if the conquered nation is very backward and
thinly populated, exterminate the local population. If it has strong
civilization, colonize it. That was the rule followed by White Nations
for most of past 200-300 years. If it is not racism, then what is it?
Try to be polite and do unto others what you want others do unto
you.
Moses said the same thing, Jesus said the same thing and Our
Prophet also said the same thing.
You have to have a really big heart and really strong personality to
treat others with same respect, irrespective of their, race, color,
language and nationality.
If Followers of Moses, Jesus and Mohammad all unite to put this
single golden rule into practice, I think most of world's problems
would be solved.
So let us each write good teachings of each other's faith (For I time
being at least).
Is it not strange that Muslims, Jews and Christians are fighting over
My God and Your God..
So we should not fight on such a clear issue and cool down our
emotions.
Far from being weak, UK was the root cause of all problem in ME. It
was UK who after WW-1 allowed large scale migration of Jews into
Palestine that started bad blood between Jews, Muslims and
Christians who were living there peacefully since centuries.
We are not hypocrites. Even though we do not like Jews and in our
book they are condemned in no uncertain terms (excepting those
Jews and Christians who truly follow teachings of their prophets),
we never go to extremes.
You will hardly find any cases of persecution of Jews in any Muslim
countries in all these 1400 years history (except minor skirmishes in
Medina and round) of Islam compared to what they witnessed in
Europe and other Christian countries.
“O you who believe! Stand out Firmly for Allah as witness to fair
dealing, and let not the hatred any group make you swerve to
wrong and depart from Justice, be Just that is next to piety…” 5:9
“If you Judge, judge in equity between them, for Allah loves those
who judge in equity” 5:42
Your love and your hatred for Jews are both in extreme. First you
branded them as “Christ Killer” now you give them free leash to
persecute Palestinians as much as they like. We follow middle path
always.
Jews say that Whole Land of Palestine was given to them by God
about 4000 years ago for an everlasting possession.
It does not matter if Jews are and were unable to keep possession
of that land for most of the last 4000 years.
Any one who does not support Jews in gaining their birthright is in
fact fighting against God.
I know your anger and you are right. But the Palestine issue was
started from the very beginning on the wrong foot. It was
projected as a local Arab and Palestine issue, which would be solved
by the local people themselves.
This has not produced any result in the last 60 years. Unless it is
made a Muslim issue and the support of all Muslims to the cause is
obtained, there will be no solution. Jews have support from most
western nations and Palestinians alone cannot alone counteract it.
That is the gate which was opened by USA. If they entered it, they
can not deny access to others.
If Nuclear Arms are bad, they are bad for all nations and not bad for
so called smaller nations. You do not trust North Korea or Iran,
then by what logic you can trust Israeli leaders with Nuclear
Weapons. But I see complete silence in Western countries
whenever Israel’s Nuclear Arms are concerned.
As long as you will follow such biased and lop sided policies, more
and more countries would get Nuclear Weaponry. China must have
it, because Russia has it. India must have it because China has it,
Pakistan must have it because India has it. Iran must have it
because Israel has it and the story continues.
Thanks for reminding that future source of energy is sun and not
oil, for your information Saudi Arabia has as much solar energy as it
has oil. The country is mostly desert and there is no limit to tap
solar energy.
Q-236 Aiyesha, Did the marriage helped prophet or Aiyesha?
I see that your post is full with misinformation and half truths. You
really had no knowledge either about Quran, our prophet or his
marriage with Lady Aiyesha, May Allah be pleased with her.
Probably no one might have heard of her and she would be a non
entity in the world history, but her marriage with prophet, raised
her status to Mothers of Believers, she became the most learned
lady of her age and transmitted many sayings and actions of
prophet which no one else could see or know.
She lived 47 years after death of prophet and you cannot recall any
one incident in which she in any way disliked her marriage to the
prophet.
For your info, our prophet did not write the Quran. If was a
revelation from God Almighty delivered to him thru Angel Gabriel.
Our prophet did not know how to read and how to write.
Yet the Quran is the masterpiece of Arabic Literature for more than
1400 years and there is no book in Arabic literature that can match
Quran in beauty, eloquence and truth.
If you want to write a book like Quran, please go ahead and let us
see your efforts.
Q-237 Quran Authenticity, Witness, Did prophet had witness when angel visited
him?
You are using the principle at a wrong place. If you apply this test
to your scriptures also, you will see that it would fail in every
respect. Let me ask you following questions
1. Who wrote those five books of Moses? Moses or some body else?
Where are two or three witness to testify that Moses indeed wrote
those books? This holds for almost all OT and NT Books and every
book is attributed to one man.
2. When Moses met Lord at the Bush, how many witnesses he had?
Do you accept those statements?
Therefore the rule of two or three witness does not apply to what a
prophet of God tells to his people about revelation.
The thing which separates prophets and common people is that they
see angels of God and common people do not. If two or three
people were to witness what goes on between Prophets and angels,
then you will have so many prophets, that you cannot count.
Further this rule of at least Two Witness , was fully followed when
the Quran was being compiled in the book form. Every one who
was producing any verse of Quran had to bring two witness, to
testify that he wrote down that verse in front t on instruction of
prophet.
The contradictions and errors in Bible are numerous and every one
who has studied this subject knows it. The space is short on this
thread, otherwise I could quote many examples myself.
As for your statement, that Bible supports that earth was without
foundations, then you are misleading. If at one place Bible says
that earth is flat and has foundations and at another place it says
otherwise, then it comes under contradiction. Which one you will
believe as truth and which one as falsehood?
You aired your views and you have every right to do that. Every
one is entitled to put one s views before every one else.
There are always two sides of every story. On one side these
highways help people reach their destinations faster and on another
hand, they are most potent killers of humans using it.
The people who believe in any religion have no say in running the
World’s Economy, Politics or Military Machine. They are reduced to
keep preaching in Churches, Mosques, Temples and Synagogues
etc.
Since all prophets receive message from same God and since the
essence of their messages is same, it is only natural that they
should look like same. You cannot call that Plagiarizing from each
other. Or every one saying that sun rises from the east would be
dubbed as a Plagiarizer.
The prophets do not speak lies in their lives, why should they
commit such an immoral act.
For an unlettered man to copy and edit at the same time looks a
very difficult task, that too when his enemies were prowling to find
as to how he gets all this information.
Since all prophets are from same God, they essentially preach the
same message. That is worship only One God and follow me as
your guide.
The exception in this case is Jesus, whom his followers have raised
to the level of divinity and worship him as God. This is wrong from
any point of view and that is why we Muslims are at odds with
Christians.
We say that Jesus never claimed divinity and his followers exceeded
their bounds to raise him to that level. But we never criticize Jesus
whom we consider as a righteous prophet.
You on the other hand believe in what his followers say and cast
aspiration on his personality and his teachings. This is the
difference between me and you. We criticize Christians and you
criticize Jesus.
It happens that after the prophets die, their followers dispute with
each other and divide into sects and distort the original message of
God. That message is either lost, or corrupted or is interpolated.
When this happens, God sends another prophet or prophets to
revive the original message. That is why we find a long list of
prophets thru out human history.
If your contention that God sends one message and that is end of it,
then why did not give Torah to Noah, Abraham, Isaac and waited for
the advent of Moses. Do you mean to say that all people before
Moses were not following laws and commandments.
Our prophet is the last in the chain of that long list of prophets. He
is the last prophet. The message given to him is to be preserved
and protected till the last day and that is the only difference
between him and past prophets.
In fact if it was not for some very heavy police arrangements, many
foot ball matches will end with blood shed.
You are right that Yahweh is the word used for God in OT, but there
are no vowels in the original Hebrew, it is written as YHWH, and no
one dares to take that name. So the real pronunciation of this
world is not clear. Yahweh and Jehovah are two such attempts.
Name like Baal or any other words which had been corrupted by
people by making images etc are not liked by God to be used for
Him.
You are right that no one can understand about God 100 %, it is
beyond our capabilities. That is why in Islam we do not discuss the
personality of God in too much detail. We restrict ourselves only to
the simplest meanings of the words which are used by Him in His
book and leave the details.
You are also right that we should not try to demonize each other’s
religions. We should rather have a civilized dialog and understand
each other’s point of views.
If you lived a honest life or you lived like a monster, will not make
one iota of difference in your world governed by Random Mutation
and Natural Selection.
You were a good citizen paying your taxes and spending in charity
and being kind to your parent or you were a drug pusher, raped
your mother, sisters and daughters, played havoc with the lives of
others, will not cause any effect to you when you die.
What is wrong I did if I called that stupidity? I could not find any
other world which was stronger and still polite.
I like your suggestion very much. Let us formulate the rule and
then apply it to every case without bias.
I would like YOU to lay down the rule as to what revelation is, How
to verify its authenticity, and how to separate Revelation from other
writings.
Please formulate these rules and then let us analyze, every book of
OT, NT, Quran and any other scripture that you can think of.
Since the source is form God almighty, who always speaks the
truth, so if there is any mention of any physical phenomenon, it is
also correct and truthful. That holds good for revelation, which is
preserved in its original tongue.
However when people translate that scripture into their native
languages, they do it as per their understanding and their available
information. So usually the translations for these scientific
phenomenon go out of date, with the advance of science. If you
have lost the original scripture and have only the translation, the
scriptures and science seem to contradict each other.
Where did I say that every theory of science is wrong and must be
considered as wrong unless proven by a Scripture Book?
This is like a party which always sits in opposition, they always find
fault with the ruling party and promise that when we come to power
we will do this and this and turn the country into living paradise.
When they come to power they are as corrupt and as inefficient as
the other party.
The same holds good for you scientists and Atheist. When you use
such extremist language on this thread itself, what you will do when
you get real power is any body s guess.
Q-251 Scientists Tolerance, Are Scientists and Atheists are more tolerant?
As for the myth that Atheist and Modern Scientists are more
tolerable and less violent, it is only a myth. We have yet to see
what they do to the world when they get power.
So far they are a minuscule minority and are playing in the hands of
Politicians,. Administrative Bosses and Military Powers.
Then fights will break out between followers of one theory over
other, when the Parliamentary vote is not enough, they go at each
other s throat and so on.
I see that you are once again by passing the main topic. Did
Socrates existed or not is not the issue here.
You wanted that we should apply the same rule to check any book if
it is from God or not. I accepted your proposal and asked you to
frame the rules using which we can verify if any book is from God or
not.
As regards sin, let me tell you, as per our belief, not only prophets,
but every human child is born without any sin or stigma attached to
him or her.
So all prophets of God are born sinless. Now during their lives, all
prophets are especially protected from God to engage in any act of
sin which involves moral turpitude, like lying, stealing, fornication,
adultery and any such crimes. Because prophets are specially
chosen people of God and a role model for their followers.
However since prophets are human beings and not angels, so they
sometime commit errors. God immediately informs prophets of
these errors and they ask forgiveness from God and that is the end
of matter.
So Jesus and each and every prophet appear before God as sinless.
We Both have good people and we have bad people amongst us.
So most people are just biased about their opponents and become
part of this misinformation campaign.
In the end, peace is the only solution and that is the end towards
which we should make all efforts. Every one has to make
compromises to achieve that peace and that starts with having an
open mind and realize that people might have different ways of life,
different from ours.
We should also have open minds that some of their systems might
be even better than ours. This give and take and adjustments are
the hallmark of any human growing society.
If you silence all old people, you will be in danger of losing much
wisdom from the earth. Remember how much China lost during the
so called Total Revolution of 1960 s and 1970 s.
You think the present materialistic and non religious society bodes
good for the humanity. I think it is dragging the society to the
lowest depth since its inception.
You see the fruits of it already, free sex, most of the children born
out of wedlock, dwindling human population in all Western
countries, growth of Sodomy and Lesbians, drug addiction and
increase in violent and hate crimes.
If you think these are the signs of a progressing society, then you
are wrong. The technological advances has not increased happiness
on the globe. There are more mental patients than any other time
in human history.
And you are optimistic that these trends would ultimately result in
the peace and tranquility of human race after a few generations? I
think you must rethink your point of view.
I am not against science and not its opponent. What I want to say,
is that science is being misused by its zealot supporters to areas
which do not fall in the realm of science.
C. How the planes hit their targets with pin point accuracy.
D. No one flying the Jumbo for first time would be able to aim
is so accurately as to hit at the exact point in the building
where it would cause maximum damage, there was no hit and
trail effort.
MUQ: The capture of Osama was not the target of Afghan war
at all. You say that none of this type of action has been done
after start of Afghan war. I ask you how many 9/11 type of
events took place before the start of War? 9/11 was a unique
event of its time, none was done before and none afterwards.
If you have already closed your minds, then no fresh ideas can
enter into it. That is why, when discussing any issue, we should
keep our minds and thoughts open.
3. How could they be sure that all four planes have been hijacked
successfully? If any one hijacking was detected and reported, it
would have blown the whole operation.
4. The Hijackers who never ever flown a Jumbo Jet, were able to
take command of the planes and change the route and redirect it to
New York and Washington all by themselves, without any outside
help, may look true in Holly Wood movies but not in real life.
The problem comes with programming and brain washing. Once the
idea is accepted by your mind, you will find all reasons to justify it,
and that is what happened in this case also.
a. Taliban were ruling Afghanistan, they had every right to see any
evidence before handing over any one who was living in
Afghanistan. Would not USA do the same if India asks US to
handover any person residing in USA who is accused of some crime
in India?
b. The test of nations comes only in the time of crisis, and it is only
in the crisis that your civilization is judged.
I read your reply with interest, but I think that you have painted a
very simplistic picture, without taking every angle into account.
1. If anyone can think that Al Qaeda could plan and execute such a
huge and complicated operation without any help from ground or
without any ground accomplices, then he or she is living in a very
simplistic world.
2. If any one thinks that it was only pure chance, that hijacking of
all four planes were not reported, or the change of their course was
not detected, or the time gap between first and last strike was not
significant, then he or she is living in a very simplistic world.
The conclusions were drawn first and the evidence was taken
afterwards. Same as Iraq and those WMD s. Once GWB decided
that Al Qaeda did it and Saddam had WMD, CIA, FBI and all
agencies only gathered the PRROFS that match with this
hypothesis.
None of the view, which was against this PREDETERMINED view was
considered. Who planned the whole thing, what was the motive,
how could four planes be hijacked at the same time, without any
one raising any alarm.
If they would have only considered, which party, nation or group got
maximum benefit from 9/11, it was not easy to investigate the
whole operation. But wool was already put above their eyes and
they saw only as much as the wool allowed.
Immediately after end of Cold War, there was a move to make Islam
and Muslims as the next Enemy of Western way of life. 9/11 did
that in one instance and placed a wedge between west and Muslims
at one stroke.
Q-261 Taliban, Is Karzai a better leader than Taliban?
Karzai may look to be a better leader in your eyes, but what did he
achieve in 8 years besides being a puppet to US and Western
countries.
In your Good Leader Karzai’s time, they are back to normal and the
country is bleeding with violence. Is that you standard to judge a
Good or Great leader?
However the Taliban’s fight to free their country from US and NATO
forces comes under the category of Islamic Jihad.
Are there different rules for Big and small countries and separate
rules for World Super Powers and less powerful countries.
You said why Arab countries did not stop 9/11 attacks? Why did not
USA stop these attacks from happening.
No one even in USA knew it was a terrorist attack till the second
plane hit WTC, that too because it was seen live on TV.
Who actually planned 9/11 is still not known. So far no one has
been convicted and punished by any court of law. What benefit did
Al Qaeda got from 9/11? What benefit any Muslim country got from
9/11.
The prudent course was to first establish the guilt of those who
were responsible for that dastardly attack. Prove their guilt beyond
any reasonable doubt.
Once the guilty party have been identified, US would have gone
with full might to punish and bring to them Justice.
The commission to probe 9/11 was started almost after two years of
the event and since action had already been taken, so its report was
a forgone conclusion. How could it decide otherwise. So it was no
more than a formality.
But as we know today, Vietnam war was a big mistake , Iraq war
was illegal and big mistake, same thing we will say about
Afghanistan also. It was a big mistake to attack Afghanistan and
equate Al Qaeda with Taliban.
After 9/11, Taliban did ask USA to show them the proof that Osama
was responsible for 9/11 attacks.
But at that time, USA was in no mood to share this information with
some one “so Low” as Taliban
Now after eight years, they are humble enough to talk to the “same
Taliban” and share “Some proofs” of 9/11.
The Taliban were not that obstinate to start with, but the attitude of
world to treat them as outcast and barbaric might have made them
harder in their views. The more you isolate a person, the harder he
will become in his thoughts and views.
But the world always treated them badly and never dealt with them
on equal footing and the result is in front of us.
Now by saying that we will deal with moderate amongst them is
again a ploy to divide them.
You are being unfair to Taliban rule. They got very less time to rule
and in that short time, they made the whole country peaceful and
wiped out Opium trade. If world powers would have encouraged
them, they would have tackled economic problem also. They did
not inherit a prosperous Afghanistan any way.
I am not their blind supporter, but I do not bracket them with Satan
or Devil either. To me they were true to their beliefs and were not
hypocrite as most of other people are.
You agreeing or not agreeing US attacks against Iraq did not make
any change in US attacks on Iraq. The attacks were justified as
part of ongoing War against Terror, based on:
2. That Saddam Hussein has close links with Al Qaeda and was
linked to 9/11 attacks in a way.
Now my question is, was any one blamed or punished for starting
this illegal war, what was the punishment given to those who
supplied misleading information to White House that resulted in loss
of more than a Million Iraqi Lives and tens of thousands of Allied
Lives.
Would you just gloss over this loss of human lives and say Very
Sorry, we Got it all wrong. Is that your idea behind this War on
terror. No responsibility only authority?
I told that of the 4 strong reason for attacking Iraq, three were
proven absolute lies. Iraq had no WMD, No link with Al Qaeda and
No Missile or Nuclear Capability.
The only issue was his dictatorship. If that demands a war of that
magnitude, then why only Iraq, US should attack every nation that
is ruled by dictators. Why single out only Iraq unless their
intentions were bad. The war was not about democracy or
dictatorship, it was for oil and to get maximum benefit from Iraqi
oil.
Q-268 Iraq War, Rebuilding, Did US spent its own money to rebuilt Iraq?
The simple proof for having WMD is that you have to SHOW them?
No UN Investigators could find them. US accused those instigators
of being inefficient, when US captured Iraq, then after two years of
extensive search, they could not locate any, what does it proves?
So you are paying your own contractors by Iraqi Oil Money, plus
getting cheap Iraqi Oil Yourself. It is a Win –Win Situation
India and China and Russia and so many countries have World's
Largest armies.
If Iraq had the World's fourth Largest army, why it could not defeat
Iran during 10 years of Iran and Iraq War?
A country that cannot defeat Iran can not a world superpower and
no threat to whole world.
And to fight that small country, USA came with its full might and
gathered most of its cronies....and they feel like Rambo or
Superman that they subdued a big enemy.
The same tactics they did in Afghanistan, a country which has no Air
Force, no Advanced Weapons and nothing except rudimentary
weapons they are attacking with planes, cruise missiles and what
not s. They are still fighting despite eight years speaks about
bravery and commitment and string will of Afghan people if nothing
else.
And what is more US and NATO soldiers are Models of Bravery and
Afghan Fighters are cowards....Is there any justice and fair play in
this world? Or in the Bigot world of Biased Media?
For you information, this is not the first incident of its kind. More
than 20 such incidents are reported in past few years. And what
more, their frequency is increasing. Virginia Tech. incident is still in
memories of us, before that and after that many such incidents
have taken place.
Why is it, that you who have no Imam, No Mullah, and no Fatwa,
still produce such sick persons with regularity?
You do not see Israel as main problem with your bias against
Muslim countries, because you never consider what others say. In
you view Israel is an Ideal, Peaceful, Democratic Nation, whose
security and safety is Irrevocably linked with the Security and
Safety of USA.
So you would turn your face away and rubbish Muslims claim that
Israel is the main reason of current tension between US and Muslim
nation.
You are entitled to your believes and no one has to say anything
about it.
If you are made ruler of any country or any society, you cannot rule
even for one day without using force of one kind or another.
I know what war is and what is allowed in the war. But to annihilate
whole cities is against all theories and practices of war. The acts of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were indeed against acts of terrorism.
US did not want to deal them at equal level and wanted to impose
their own will on them or wanted to attach Afghanistan one way or
the other or to take revenge for 9/11 attacks on any one, that is
why they went ahead with attack and never listened to any effort to
not start the war.
If Osama and Al Qaeda were their targets, then why they did not
complete the mission and started attack on Iraq without finishing
their task in Afghanistan?
Nelson Mandela was branded as Terrorists for most of his life, before
he became President of SA. Yasser Arafat was also a Terrorist, till
he shared the Nobel Prize with another Terrorist Shimon Perez.
Yes it is only likes of you, who have the right to attack and destroy
any country for whatever reasons.
You may decide that Vietnam is threat to your security and kill more
than a million people tere and still say that you were right.
You may declare that Iraq has WMD and is a threat to your security
and kill more than a Million there and still feel you are right and
bask in your glory.
You have right to put sanction against Iran for trying to develop
Nuclear Energy for peaceful purposes, But Israel having that
technology is OK in your eyes.
You can put sanctions and threaten Sudan, Libya, Syria, Somalia
and any Muslim country and feel that you are above law and none
of these should have any repercussion of any kind.
It is this skewed logic that is the main cause of all this trouble in
which you find yourself.
But instead of self analysis, you put all blame on others. Only you
are right and all others are at fault.
If you are so sure that 9/11 was done by Al Qaeda, why still no one
has been convicted of the crime by any Court of Law. You had
thousands of detainees in GITMO camp for close to 8 years, why
you could not establish their guilt? That speaks the truth about you
allegation.
What you have is your arrogance and worldly power and media
power and using that you want to prove that Right is Wrong and
Black is White. Many before you tried that and failed and you will
also fail.
You failed in Vietnam, but did not learn any lesson from it.
You failed in Iraq and did not learn any lesson from it.
You are loosing in Afghanistan and will most certainly come back
empty handed and eggs on your faces.
I do not know whether you will learn any thing from it This time or
not.
In the mean time you try to brow beat me and threaten to run away
to another thread.
Both Al Qaeda and Taliban denied any link immediately after 9/11
attacks, when that was the best time for those who want publicity
and glory.
But I think that as per your legal system, self evidence is not a fit
evidence, it is prosecution who should bring the evidence.
And that evidence you do not have, that is why the prisoners are
held in GITMO camp for 8 years without any trial and punishment.
Q- 279 War on Terror, Afghanistan, Is Pakistan Nuclear Arms the real target?
You just do not count heads to decide which the largest army in the
world is. It is the sum total of numbers and weapon system and air
power which determines the strength of any army. To declare Iraq
as the fourth largest army in the world was a media trick, to pump
up your opponent so as to draw up support within the congress and
senate.
History would tell you, that it is very easy to reach Kabul , but to
remain there is the hardest part. Britain learnt it to their sorrow
150 years back, Russians after 1979 invasion and now is the turn
for US and NATO to learn the same thing.
I know what is behind all this propaganda that Taliban are hiding in
Pakistan and that gives a clue to this whole Afghan war. The real
target was Pakistan and control of its Nuclear weapons that is the
real reason behind Afghanistan attack.
That may also give a clue to 9/11 attacks and real culprits behind it.
Now slowly and slowly the real reasons of 9/11 attacks are coming
into open.
I wish the best of luck for Northern alliance and mere 40,000 NATO
troops. Please keep sufficient body bags ready. Russia lost around
100,000 troops there, same as US lost in Vietnam.
It seems that you have special soft corners for Muslim women and
their sufferings. Why do you not speak against the suffering of
Muslim women in Gaza that is done by Israeli Soldiers or what was
done by American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
You have no business to be there, You must leave them to their fate
and come back from that country.
That is what Afghan and Taliban are doing to fight US and NATO
forces. I do know that NATO and US would welcome all Taliban
forces to gather into one field and fight directly, because US and
NATO have every type of advantage over them.
But at that time GWB the Great and Dick Cheney were mounting
the Highest Moral Horse and wanted to get rid of Terror from the
world.
Now the new president, wants to correct the mistakes of past and
make a bridge, but here are you with your vitriol advices.
Now it is the turn of USA to learn the same lesson. But it has roped
in other members of NATO to share in the sacrifices, in which they
will not gain any thing but would loose much.
They are fighting from their home base, and their enemies are
coming from far away.
Fighting is their life and nature and they do not mind long lasting
fights. But for your armies it is a much costly war.
Now choice is yours, why not take a better and safer route?
Religion is not a person that can solve any problem. It shows you
the way, using which we can solve a particular problem. The
religion is after all is to be practiced by its followers, if they are not
sincere or do not apply the full solution, they will not get the desired
result.
1. I told you that decision to link only Al Qaeda with 9/11 was taken
in hurry and without investigating all options. So you cannot say
that it was successful because no 9/11 type incidents took place
since. This is a false logic because 9/11 was a unique incident in US
history. So you cannot generalize with only one incident as your
basis.
2. You asked why USA stopped only on Afghanistan and Iraq and
did not attack Sudan or other countries. GWB did start this War
on Terror with very high hopes and plans. He wanted to root out
Terror from the world.
Afghanistan was the test case. They got bogged down there, then
they started Iraq war considering it to be another soft target, but
they bogged down there also. If they had an easy path in
Afghanistan and Iraq, may be by this time Iran, Sudan, Libya, Syria
and how many other nations could be under War on Terror.
Man may plan any thing, but there is also A God in this Universe,
whose plans supersede all human plans.
The same media can make a man a villain in 24 hours and vice
versa. If Media wants, Israel can be proved to be a Terrorist state
in 24 Hours or less. They could do it and they have done it many
times.
Saddam was best friend of USA when he was fighting with Iran,
overnight he became Satan the day he attacked Kuwait.
Thanks for your IMPARTIAL analysis on War on Terror. You start the
War and you are blaming it on those affected that they are not
changing.
Does not the timing tell us some thing, that the War on Islam was a
preconceived notion.
You are free to agree to any view you like. There is a freedom to
choose. After all in this world there are many groups and each one
has logic and each one has followers.
You may not call War on Terror as War on Islam, but it is really a
War on Islam, reasons:
Why should we believe in your hollow words that this is not War on
Islam but War on Terror.
If it was really a War on terror, you would have acted in each and
every country where acts of terrorisms are taking place
The problem is that you only consider one side as guilty party and
try to save your own military and police and we concentrate only
your persons and try to save our people.
Q-288 War on Terror, US Power, Can US destroy any country in the world?
Are these not boastful words? These would have been also the
words of Russian Generals on the way out of Afghanistan after
loosing 100, 000 people!! And those of British General after loosing
close to 25, 000 people in Afghanistan!!
By the way, why could you not kill every man, women and child in
Vietnam and returned from there empty handed after loosing close
to 100, 000 of your Brave and Well trained soldiers.
Q-289, 9/11, Al Qaeda, Was 9/11 Commission open minded and impartial?
No such thing was done for 9/11 attacks. The media provided their
“Judgment” within 5 minutes and Politicians acted on it. Any
dissenting voice was shouted down as “Against Patriotism” and
“Encouraging Terrorists and Terrorism”.
No doubt that you are satisfied with the “Guilty” verdict and want to
close down the chapter of enquiry.
But the truth will come out in the open, no matter how long you
suppress it.
The case of Iraq having WMD has finally been proven to be false
and done with pre-conceived opinions. This has been accepted.
May be after a few decades “Another 9/11” Commission will decide
that original commission acted “Too Hastily” and “Did not
investigate Fully” etc.
When the foreign forces have left, they would fight with each other.
US did mistake to attack Afghanistan, and if they had captured
Kabul, they should have left that country as soon as possible after
establishing their puppet government there. They would have
saved some faces and could boast of their heroics.
By prolonging their stay, they have got sucked into the bottomless
pit as was the case with Russia in 1979. If Russia would have left
Afghanistan after installing its puppet Government, it would have
gained much.
It is this way, When you think you are most powerful and can do
anything, that is the exact moment of your decline.
Q-291 Iraq War, Rebuilding, Did US spent its own money for rebuilding Iraq?
If you are that type of Simpleton, who believe what ever they see
on CNN, then no one can help you.
The Iraq war was not for Democracy, it was not for freedom, it was
not for WMD or any such thing…..it was pure for Iraqi Oil.
I think if the current recession is some of the price which you have
to pay for Illegal Iraq and Afghanistan war, then it is small justice in
the end. You have to pay somehow for killing more than a million
people in this open ended so called War on Terror.
Bush got the Shoe as a parting gift from Iraq, His die hard
supporters like you may get the same, if they go to Iraq or
Afghanistan and babble about what US taxpayers have done to
rebuild their countries.
I know that your political leaders deny that they are fighting a War
Against Islam. But the ground reality is totally different. The Media
is full time busy in attacking Islam and painting it in bad light at the
slightest of faults.
You have every right to intervene in East Timor and Darfur, and we
should leave millions of our brothers to the aggression of you and
your criminal friends?
I hope America really wakes up and gets out of this Zionist plot to
create permanent rift between it and Muslim world.
If Jews, Israel and Zionists all have their lobbies in USA and paying
Senators, Members of Congress and so on, why it should be crime
for Saudi Arabia to have a few friends?
That is what I said, that you were too scared to attack USA, China
or any of the big powers that could retaliate and give befitting
answers to your acts of aggression.
Have you ever sat and thought why the persons whom you call
terrorist have become your enemies. What is the root cause of all
this friction between Muslim countries and USA? If you think, you
will reach the real reason of this trouble and that is your one sided
and wrong support to the state of Israel.
The results of so called eight year old War on terror proves what I
am saying.
They have child like belief on the impartiality and infallibility of their
News, Print and Electronic Media.
