Well, there we go. Discussion over. You have your answer now Andhra.

In my opinion, Islam is a religion of contradictions. This is a glaring example of that.**
[/quote]

Do you mind telling us how Christianity explains this?

I don't see any contradictions. There's no mention of it in the Qur'an, and why should we bother ourselves with what might have happened, thousands or maybe millions of years ago.(** The Bible says that Adam (a.s) was born 6000 years ago only, not the Qur'an. **)

Geez.. You Kafirs are only looking for the slightest excuse to defame Islam. You are least concerned with why Hinduism permits incest, penis worship etc, and why the Bible shamelessly asks its followers to sexually enslave virgins belonging to the enemy, and why does the Bible commands its followers to kill women, children and even animals belonging to the enemy.

** Anyways, the concept of the first man is not unique to Islam only. It is shared by Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism (Brahma) too. ** You people yourselves know you are wrong - you have no justification to attack Islam based on such imaginary problems - but anyways, see you on the Day of Judgement !!!

Day of Judgement is fine. I am talking of here and now.
As I said before don’t drag Hinduism or Christianity into this!!
You know Hindus may practice all kinds of things and NOT practice them as well. THey don’t claim their Religion and their scripture are divine truth and complete solution for everything.
Since Muslims claim that, (atleast a majority of them posting here seem to believe Koran needs no revision or interpretation), they gotta explain this little naughty stray thought!!

By the way Indian_Muslim you said you came on GupShup to counter ‘Fascist’ people like me.
Is this your idea of a debate, saying 'See You On Judgement Day?

Who gives a flying rat's ass about what Hindiusm, Christianity, Judaism, etc. say about incest? This thread is about Islam and you resorting to dissing other religions shows me exactly how true a religion Islam is. You can't even defend it without painting all other belief systems black.

If Islam is the true religion, it should be so because it is 100% consistent and whatnot, not becuase, compared to Hinduism and Christianity, it is 20% more consistent.

Awesome Sarah. THe World can do with more people like you!!!

Ok, if that’s the way you want to force yourself to think, it’s ok with me. **But why are you so OBSESSED with Islam, and not with other religions?

Why are you not attacking other religions the way you attack Islam? **

That’s a DEFINITE PROOF that Islam is the ONLY true religion.

Let’s have a look at history.

When Abraham (a.s)called his people to the true religion, he was persecuted and even put to be burnt alive.

When Noah (a.s)called on his people to believe in the true religion, they were ridiculed and made fun of.

When Lot (a.s) invited his people to the true religion, they made fun of him.

When Moses (a.s) called on his people to believe in the true religion, they were persecuted by Pharoah.

When Jesus (a.s) called on his people to believe in the true religion, he and his true followers were persecuted.

Same is the case with ALL the Prophets. **It is has been the nature of the true religion that it is defamed with lies and it’s followers are brutally persecuted. **

BTW, Sarah, it’s Christians who always resort to attacking Islam in the first place. Muslims never spread lies against Christianity but Christians do.

That again answers what the true religion is.

Only coz she opposes Islam? Great attitude.

Anyways back to us,
I know and I have read that. It was a far more difficult question then you thought.
Coz now you explain me that this has not changed in past 1000 years!
First we all know Hinduism is no more Hinduism that used to be 60 years-70years-80-90-100..etc back.
Secondly Hinduism had and has a strong grip on traditions. So care to explain how many of those do what they read?
And that situation I mentioned happened to me while having dinner with my father's friend and then he did explain us that this is tradition in INDIA (at least in India)!

I know I'm off the topic but this one is important for me to be dicussed. So plz need a response. Thanks.

Well, Indian_Muslim what do you mean I am b***shitting?
Do Hindus claim that their Religion and their Prophet are the only truth.
Infact we got several prophets and reincarnations. Believe who you wanna believe.

And what do you mean? 'Judgement Day ' is serious stuff.

Why wait until everything is dead and gone?

Every day is Judgement Day!!!

Andhra can you give me reference for this tenet from Veda, smrti, upanishad, purana??

The Sanskrit phrase, ** “sarva dharma sambhava”** meaning “equal respect of all religions”

if you give links, i want book name and verse numbers or chapter where it appears without them the link is useless.

thanks

human DNA is surprisingly similar to, and almost identical with, the DNA of chimps and gorillas; both ape species have 48 chromosomes, we have 46. Chimpanzees even share the same ABO blood types with humans, and thus appear to be very close kin to us.

All humans belong to same species, and have similar genetic make up whether indian, chinese or westren BUT

“Some R idiots and some Wise”

Take it easy

its no point in answering silly questions like the one posed in this thread....

anyway it is not allowed in Islam....
Adam was the first man created by Allah and Eve the first woman....
they gave birth totwins, a guy and a girl....
and these twins were considered as Brother and Sister....
the next twins were brotherss and sister....
and the guy from the first twin cud marry the girl from the second and vice versa....
and THIS was allowed only for that one generation....

sarah or andhra or anyone has any other way of putting it....
how wud u continue the human race if this was not allowed....
if Allah had created another man and woman withut a mother and father, people would hold them as God as was the case with Jesus....

now, coming back to Islam,from the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),where do u find any example of this incest u ask about????
please do tell me and i'll respong to u....


"Our Lord! forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed our duty; establish our feet firmly and help us against those that resist faith." **Quran(3:147)

WEll, I can’t unfortunately.
What does it matter. ‘Sarva Dharma Sama Bhav’ is widely known and practised. Like Vajpayee believes in it apparently.
Here’s what he said to Dawn.


Q. What are your views on the role of Hindu religion in national politics?

Though Hindus constitute a majority of India’s population, India has consciously rejected theocracy and enshrined secularism as the foundational principle of our Constitution. This is because secularism is the soul of our civilisation and our nationhood. It is propounded by our ancient seers in the Sanskrit dictum “Sarva Dharma Samabhaav” – All faiths deserve equal respect.

It is my belief that the Hindu religion incorporates secularism in its philosophy. India is a multi-faith nation and the adherents of all religions have equal rights and opportunities in all areas of national life.

Here’s more..
http://www.holyindia.org/content.html

Hinduism is very well defined in Vedas - the highest authority of Hinduism. Vedas says:
‘Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti’ - Truth (The supreme Reality) is one but sages call it (God) by different names.
God is one , unparalleled through his wondrous, mighty & formidable laws & deeds. - Rigveda 8/1/27.
‘Sarva Dharma Sambhava’ - Equal respect for all religions.
‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah’- Let all be happy and safe in this world
‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’- Whole world in one family.
‘Sarva Bhut Hite Ratah’ - Work continuously for welfare of every living being.
‘Atmavat Sarva Bhuteshu’ - Treat all as your own self.
Ye learned man uplift the fallen again - Rigveda 10/137/1
Earn with hundred hands & distribute with thousand - Atharva Veda 3/24/5
I destroy ill earned wealth - Atharva Veda 7/155/4
‘Matra Devobhava Pitra Devobhava Acharya Devobhava’- Respect mother, father & teacher as divinities.
Motherland, may we sacrifice all for thee - Atharva Veda 12/1/62.
One who can protect virtuous & law abiding citizens & can crush the traitors of the nation deserves to be the ruler. he alone can save the nation.


Well, Sarva Dharma Sama Bhav has a wide coinage as you can see.

And no, I don’t know what part of Vedas, Smritis or Puranas mention this and I don’t care!!

It is a good thing to say and millions of HIndus believe it and that’s what counts.

'Devil123' - i Dont need u quoting words from the dictionary to me !! I have full use of dictionaries thanks!

Its not the fact that you just call the cow you're mother, its the fact think she is ur mother. If i drank milk from a goat, does that mean that the goat is my mother?

Its not the fact that you just call the cow you’re mother, its the fact think she is ur mother. <<

PAKIPRINCESS the operative word here is ‘LIKE’.
We like Cows becuase we grow up drinking it’s milk.
It is just a part of our life.
I don’t see why Non-Hindus should have such big objections over this.
After all it is not like we are stoning People to Death claiming it is religion !!

No you only burn them alive if they refuse to follow your religion.

And you claim to know Hindus!!!
DOn't you know Sati was made illegal two centuries ago?

By whom, It were British who made it illegal not hindus, which though tried to take credit of it later on,
BTW its still sporadic in India,

Your highness...i meant LIKE a mother and it was clear form the post...but you are hell bent to prove something else..

and for your information ...we worship snakes too...NOw you would ask what does that prove..
it proves hinduism as a very tolerant religion...RESPECT LIFE IN ANY FORM...even if it's a snake...

Read the article carefully..it says even though the british had banned sati…due to efforts by rajaram mohan roy and ghandhiji it was possible…the last occurence was reported in late 80’s…

But hey…isn’t stoning to death practised yet…and that too in large numbers…
