@Boss_Aleeyu But are terrorists part of Islam? Does terrorism have anything to do with Islam?
Maybe those are the questions we should actually be asking and honestly answering.
@MasterMaliq@perry_cameron3 So Allah can’t turn the political situation around? Is that where Allah draws the line? You claim Allah is all-powerful, yet when it comes to changing political circumstances, suddenly everything becomes “politics” and human agency. Interesting limitation for an all-powerful God.
@beet_kon@Marjan532714431 Did Jesus personally tell you he spoke Arabic? Because the historical evidence points to Aramaic, not Arabic. Yet you confidently put Arabic words in his mouth centuries later.
@beet_kon Jesus spoke Aramaic, not Arabic. Yet the Qur’an, written centuries later in Arabic, puts Arabic words in his mouth and gives its own account of his life.
So why should I accept a 7th-century Arabic retelling over the much earlier sources about Jesus?
@Islam435 We judge by what we see, not just what people say. In places with serious security threats, “Allahu Akbar” understandably raises alarm because of its repeated association with violent incidents. You can debate the theology, but you can’t erase people’s lived experience.
@MasterMaliq The problem with this burqa debate is: is it culture, religion, personal choice, spirituality, or simply clothing? Because the meaning seems to change depending on the argument being made. At some point, we need to be consistent about what the burqa actually represents.
@MasterMaliq So are you saying these items of clothing have no religious significance in Islam? If they don’t, why are they prescribed or associated with serving God? And if they do, then you can’t dismiss the religious significance of the clothing simply because you can!
@Solxbt24@Gwani_bukhari He’s free to describe his relationship with God as he chooses. But let’s be honest about the terminology: ʿabd means “servant” but can also mean “slave.” Calling it merely “servant” can soften the actual meaning of the word.
@Solxbt24@Gwani_bukhari He said “servant,” and that is the relationship he is describing: a servant and his Master… he serves God and hopes to receive His reward. Christians, however, understand their relationship with God in terms of being His children, not merely His servants.
@MasterMaliq The truth is in the books themselves. Not in your explanations, interpretations, or excuses. Read what they actually say, and let the texts speak for themselves.
@Gwani_bukhari I’ve honestly never seen reasoning quite like this, except from Muslims who claim the original came later. Your argument is completely antithetical to the truth. Otherwise, “I follow Jesus” becomes a label rather than a meaningful theological position.Because Jesus wasn’t Muslim.
@MasterMaliq These can’t really be compared. One is a ritual, as you mentioned; the other is indoctrination. Which is teaching someone to accept something without allowing them to question it, even when they have doubts. So what exactly is the point you’re trying to make by comparing the two?
@GodstimeAtas@UtdFez The way you didn’t categorize when you said “Christians” is exactly why you can’t turn around and demand that Muslims be categorized either. You don’t get to apply political correctness selectively..if the standard is consistency, it has to apply both.
@MasterMaliq If Islamic history includes religious and political expansion through warfare, why should questioning whether that mentality still influences attitudes today be considered an attack? Criticism is not persecution, disagreement is not hatred, and no one is trying to stop Islam!
@MasterMaliq Dear Muslims, why assume Christians are trying to “stop” Islam? Your original message addressed Christians collectively, as though they are engaged in some campaign against Islam. The real issue is the constant comparison and the apparent need to assert Islam’s superiority.
