Salam to all
Those people who raise strange questions regarding islamic teachings (e.g. regarding Jesus) i have a message. Every question has a right answer, i believe that but to reach that right answer is highly difficult. Its like entering a maze. There are 100s of ways of getting lost but one, just one to reach the truth! By asking questions you are entering this difficult maze but do you have the confidence or ability to follow the right path.
Friends, sometimes we get the wrong answers before we get the right one. Before asking such questions, you must have such a strong islamic belief that even if your research leads to an answer contradicting Islam, you will not question the veracity of Islam.
And of course, the climax of every knowledge is your Lord, the one ruler : Allah.
you are talking less of truth and more of propagating a particular religion.
correct yourself and come again.
Echo, Walaikum Assalaam

“Correct” himself to your interpretation? Perhaps, you could have stated your argument in a bit more politer fashion…which would have made others (like me) more willing to listen to your points of view.
Echo, i agree. Remember the ayat in the Quran that states,
The truth is one and we all have our own ways of discovering it. While i firmly believe that what i believe is the truth, that cannot give me allowance to negate that someone else will feel equally passionately about their own religious beliefs.
Thank you Nadia for your reply. It was certainly written in a very nice manner.Also thank you for your support.
I donot mean to offend you.
You have provided the most suitable verse from Quran, though there are plemnty of verses say entirely in different manner.
What you call Truth, it is onesided in Quran, only for those who have eccepted the theme without questioning.
Others fall under another criteria.
If I have to prove my point throgh verses of Quran, this page is very small.
Usually truth is an assembly of facts or postulates from various sources that that have been concurred.
Religion is based on faith not "truth". A singular source of theoretical evidence to prove itself is not "truth". It is belief or faith.
What do you think faith is? a lie? Do you you believe that your faith is not based on truth?
Your problem is that you are propagating a particular religion behind the curtain of truth. First correct yourself.
Are you really intewrested in Truth or just fulfilling a madrisa course?
No faith is not based on truth. THe only relation is that faith can be based on truth as you see it not a universal paradigm.
So as yahudi said..come correct chanda. Don’t be bringing your mom and pop theories in here. 
I think i am not clearly expressing my point. What i am trying to say is that our faith is what we "believe" to be true. This means that every other person believes in some different idea. But is this idea the real fact? Due to this very reason a person may get confused or "lost" while he is questioning the his faith. This is the point i am trying to emphasize, we believe that what we believe is the truth( atleast muslims do!) and so if we question it we can enter a lot of trouble. My request (which i also pointed in the first post) is that our faith must be so strong that apparant wrong answers during our questioning do not make us disbelieve in Islam.
One last thing. Thank you for your criticism. It certainly made me realise some faults in my thinking but i also hope that you will understand my point.
Again you are misquoting truth while pushing a particular party.
My question, how much Islam recognizes other religions? I think only once the Prophet had to accept under some particular circumstances, ‘you follow yours and we follow ours’.
For rest you can open any chapter of Quran and find plenty of verses saying bad for people who do not recognize your faith.
So, make it clear if you are talking of ‘Truth’ or of Islam?
Ramakrishna-"God has made different
religions to suit different aspirations, times, and countries. All
doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God Himself.
Indeed, one can reach God if one follows any of the paths with
whole-hearted devotion....so the one Everlasting-Intelligent-Bliss is
invoked by some as God, by some as Allah, by some as Jehovah, and by
others as Brahman....So people in ignorance say, "My religion is the only
one, my religion is the best." But when a heart is illumined by true
knowledge, it knows that above all these wars of sects and sectarians
presides the one indivisible, eternal all-knowing bliss."
I am talking about truth , i only gave Islam as an example.
As far as Quran is concerned, we do believe that people of other religions think wrong but we are not to hate them or anything else. You are a human and so all Muslims respect what you believe. If any one does not then he is doing wrong. Would you also give some Quranic verse in support of your argument.
Does Quran accept other religions?
My dear Echo, you are contradicting yourself.
Muslims respect other religions and do they do so against the teachings of Quran?
Have you read Quran, or you are joking? In all 114 chapters every fourth verse , if not second, condemns faiths other than Islam.
No need to backtrack, just make it clear if you are talking of ‘Truth’ or of ‘Islam’.
Let me make myself clear.When i wrote the first post i had not assumed that non-muslims would be reading it too, so i only talked about Islam and Truth. Now the same principle can be applied to other religions however it is difficult for me to think how they think. What i think is what Islam tells us. So i was talking about truth but from Islamic point of view. I hope this satisfies you.
Now the second thing. Have you ever read the Holy Quran or even its translation. I presume not. Even if you have you would not have understood it. As i said before, instead of talking randomnly-everywhere in Quraan- why don’t you present a single verse which condemns non-muslims.

I agree!
But then what is a muslim supposed to do?
In order to earn those 'brownie points' one must praise Islam - regardless.
Here's an EASY definition of "What is the Truth"?
Always be virtuous (towards all) and you follow the TRUTH!
Excerpts from 6. Al-Anam
27.If you could but see when they will be held over the (Hell) Fire! They will say: "Would that we were but sent back (to the world)! Then we would not deny the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of our Lord, and we would be of the believers!"
- Nay, it has become manifest to them what they had been concealing before. But if they were returned (to the world), they would certainly revert to that which they were forbidden. And indeed they are liars.
In verse 27, Ayat is directly connected to the teachings of Islam.
This is a very small sample. It starts from verse No. 7 of 1st chapter and continues till last. You can understand why Islamic militants are so confident when they shoot someone.
Majority of verses in Quran are wasted on explaining the behavior of non-believers, no need to say that as per Quran all non-Muslims are non-believers.
I do not know what this all has to do with ‘Truth’.
Isn't taht the case with every religion? The Christians say only they know the Truth, and also condemn other religions, same with Jews, who believe they are superior race becuase they are teh chosen ones.
Isn't that the purpose of bringingthe message of truth? What's the use of saying, well, this and this is the Truth, but it's ok to not follow upon the rules, you will still be rewarded for doing things that contradict the Truth. Then what's the use of bringing the Truth?
According to JEws, all non-Jews are nonbelievers, according to Christians, all non-Christians are nonbelievers, and so on.

Dear sadya,
And, Islam came and made everyone else a non-believer and hell-dwellers.
Is this the purpose of the TRUTH?
It is nothing more than a charade:
** My god is better than your god**;
All Abrahamic creeds/TRUTH -if followed literally, peaches:
Hate your fellow being if he/she is not of you.
The ONLY TRUTH is:
We are all from the same source; so, Be virtuous to all
Dear Yahudi
these verses do not condemn or tell us to hate non-muslims. They just tell us that they think wrong. Does these verses say" Hate non-muslims" or "Kill them at sight" ? no?
