Islam for Women or is it?

@Miss_Noland

I missed your this post and indeed, you are right in everything you have said. I do not fear God because I don’t know where, what, or who he is. If there was something to be feared, I would have fear. I can’t bring myself to believe in something I don’t understand and asking me to devote myself to God is too big of a demand. I do believe in higher power and won’t necessarily call it a GOD.

If there’s a true religion, it shoud guide all of us and not divide us. Of course, if Islam is indeed the religion of God, I want to make sure I live my life according to it. However, with the amount of descrapencies I have noticed in all Abrahamic scriptures, it’s hard to conclude that Islam teaches anything different. It’s all the same in a nutshell.

There are thousands of religions, sects and what not and Qur’an claims it sent messengers for all nations to get his message. If all messengers performed their duty then why does Qur’an mistreat/hate them and label them as Kuffar? Afterall, they too listened to their messengers, they too have a guidance book of their own. Why should they have listened to anybody else when the preceding messengers never mentioned another coming of a prophet (not speaking of the second coming of Jesus Christ here).

You are asking me to find other possibilities than the negative ones for the Qur’anic verses I found quite wrong. Well, I can certainly do that but if I have to “find” the positive meaning behind every verse of Qur’an, then what makes it so different from other scriptures? I could find the positive message in other scriptures too, if I wanted to. It doesn’t provide much guidance if I am looking for its true meaning everywhere, does it? You can say that I am saying this because I don’t believe in God and you are right. There’s no logic behind faith, it seems and I believe in logic, does it mean I can never find faith?

Well at least your honest in saying that you do not believe in Abarahmic religions.
After that whatever you say about Islam or teaching of Islam useless because that what you don’t believe in nothing good will come out talking about it.
Its your opinion and we are entiteled to have our own opinion and as a believer i believe that everyone is responsible for their own deeds towards God no one else should be condemn him/her.

But surely you did not do your homework when you say that Islam is the same as other monotheistic religions (in contemporary form). I think you should take some time out and do some comparative study of the religions and then you will come to conclusion that Islam gives more rights to women then any other religion or ideology.

Don’t make the mistake and compare the bad behaviours of Muslims with Islam. Muslims should be representing Islam but unfortunatly most of us do not represent Islam and are no worthy of representing Islam. Unfortunatly its the Muslims themselfs who are to be blamed for negative propaganda all over the world 24/7 against Islam.

As many new converts/reverts (Can Stevens) have said: “I am lucky that i did discover Islam / Quran before i did meet any Muslims, else they would never have choosen for Islam”.

The power the magic lies in Islam not the Muslims who are totally twisting the real tenants of Islam and giving more importance to the culture then the religion.

Religion goes not devide us sister people devide.

Can you give me any historical reference that where there was no religion there was peace? ???
