Re: Tony Blair’s SIL Converts to Islam!

i don’t know why you keep saying that i’m running away from the off topic discussion we’re having, it’s a waste of your and my time. i love lots of things about islam like i said b4 but if i was to be seen as an evil idolator b/c i have no problem if a person prays to an idol to feel that oneness with God, then i guess according to those verses i’m wishing that islam not prevail. It knows me, the evil idolator, so well.

well if you ask my personal opinion, i would prefer there not to be any religions so none of them should prevail over the world, all religious books have loads of inspirational, stunning verses in them but unfortunately all are flawed in one way or another. a simple belief in God is enough for me. a muslim friend of mine had once said a pretty deep line “free God from the chains of religion” i hold that quote close to my heart and this one "Whatever wish men(all human beings) bring me in worship, that wish I grant them. Whatever path(belief/religion) men travel is my(God’s) path: no matter where they walk it leads to me.” <—that one totally integrates all humanity, i love it. Rumi’s quote in my signature is pretty deep, he was way ahead of his time.

and i’ll say it again if you haven’t made the effort to study other scriptures of other religions, don’t say that they all say the same as what the quran says about superiority over all religions and have verses about non-coreligionists similar to the ones in the quran. i’ve always asked for clarification of any verse in the quran which i have quoted since i am not a muslim.

since i’ve answered your simple question, i think we’ve totally derailed from the topic of the thread don’t you think, is it fair to the TS and are we just trying to make this a mega hit thread by getting it to 100 posts? :vivo:

You are not considered evil by any means. The act of idol worshipng is not liked by Islam and other religions.

Quotes from Hindu Scripture Bhagvad Geeta:

chapter Two:

Verse 31

Considering your specific duty as a ksatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles; and so there is no need for hesitation.

Verse 32

O Partha, happy are the ksatriyas to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets.

Verse 33
If, however, you do not fight this religious war, then you will certainly incur sins for neglecting your duties and thus lose your reputation as a fighter.

Verse 36
Your enemies will describe you in many unkind words and scorn your ability. What could be more painful for you?

Verse 37
O son of Kunti, either you will be killed on the battlefield and attain the heavenly planets, or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom. Therefore get up and fight with determination.

Humm, ’

‘Religious fight’ is promoted in Hinduism.

Others are called enemies.

Here I am not criticising Hinduism, I am only showing what the scripture says.

Yes, Islam came to abolish idol worshiping. Other monothestic religions claim to be against Hinduism idol worshiping.

The topic has changed and I have no problem if thread gets split.
