Peace Nisha25

As you are well aware I do not talk about other religions, and if I do it is to bring home a certain point. The reason for my mentioning Hinduism was well calculated to demonstrate it is easy to hurl derogatory comments about a religion if one so chooses and secondly why should we always be defending Islam … why are we always made to go on the defensive … **obviously the Hindu religion has not achieved one end and that is … it has been unable to achieve a coherent approach **so the people who follow it according to my experience hide this fact, they pose as democratic, scientific, rational thinking people some of whom are out to make a few stabs at Islam, but want other religions namely their own to be “saved” from the same level of scrutiny. Why is that? Is it because they are afraid that it will uproot something? No … I didn’t get what I said from Zakir Naik, but he may have said it too.

I do have an interest in learning about other religions … unforunately there is no one qualified enough to speak to me about Hinduism therefore it remains mysterious to the people who follow it and untouchable to the those who wish to cross-examine it. There is nothing wrong with scrutiny as long as it is being done with sincerity - alas that is how you are regarding, Islam and the Qur’an surely. There is nothing in Islam I am ashamed of talking about, how about the Hindus with their religion or Christians with theirs? Surely this is yet another thing I love about Islam.

it’s sad, maybe that’s why i have such a big issue with all these religions and even atheist viewpoints. all you needed to do was explain your interpretation of those islamic concepts that chintu was weak in knowing about but what you’re doing in this post is very different. just like with other religions, even within islam, there are a couple things that are subject to interpretation and even islamic scholars disagree on, am i wrong? for instance, the concept of misyar(sunni)/muttah(shia), whether or not it is permitted is still debatable right? i didn’t see anything about it in the Quran, or maybe i might have missed it.

is it just for this mudslinging contest that this thread was started. “oh now we can say ignorant stuff about hinduism, buddhism, judaism, christianity.” your last paragraph is showing ignorance again and its another tactic of showing islam as superior while having no knowledge on other religions…see why that last paragraph is messed up

why is there a fear of learning about other religions? if a person is strong in their basic beliefs there wouldn’t be any fear of educating oneself on other belief/atheist systems.

maybe you could start a thread on “questions about islam” in which nonmuslims could ask their queries on islam so their views would be clarified.
