psyah, no matter how much you try to sugar coat the issue, I just can’t get myself to see it that way. it reminds me vaguely of the caste system and the pure muslims/pure muslim practices as how the ‘pure’ brahmins are made to be and the impure nonmuslims/idolators and their impure practices are at the way way bottom.

I lose that human side when I get myself to swallow that way of thinking and accept those verses as “truth”. i just will not see it in such a discriminatory way and i refuse to think that God only likes to be worshiped in a particular way by particular pure people and that’s the only way to become one with God. God’s just God, i can’t imagine God being so discriminatory that he/she/it would send such a sacrificing soul like mother theresa to the fiery pits of hell just b/c she didn’t submit to Allah before she died.

I don’t need an Intro to Islam from you, I’ve already learned about islam from other muslims that were highly knowledgeable on islam. i just wanted to see how you rationalize those verses that talk in such a horrible way about nonmuslims. i wish your comments were a bit more to the point as well. thank you

Peace Nisha25

I’ve already answered these concerns and it appears to me you are unable to see what it is I am saying. Islam deems an act evil and those who do evil are evildoers, it does not matter what we think. We can’t say everyone is saved because that will defeat the purpose of being good or of belonging to a particular faith. It would mean in the West I could be Christian, at work an atheist and in the East something other. These dogmas are very different. Also the biggest logical flaw in accepting every religion is that by accepting Islam you are saying that it is true that “we are not supposed to worship other gods” by accepting another religion you are saying it is true that “we are worshippers of Christ or Krishna for examples”. These cannot be both true at the same time, impossible. We cannot possibly say that we accept all religions as true because at least one of them might say it is the only truth, in which case you as a person who says every religion is true has to accept the what Islam says as true. If Islam says being a mushrik is wrong then you can’t possibly say Islam is wrong for saying that because you initial claim is that “all religions are true or lead to God”. Fallacy upon fallacy.
We should ask ourselves that do our reservations of the Qur’an saying things about certain people that can’t accept because they are wrong or because there are therein bitter truths to those words that biases stop us accepting.

Lastly, I can’t say anything to move your heart to truth unless God does this and you allow it to happen. All I can do is pray for it to happen. So May Allah (SWT) guide you and me and all of us. Ameen.
