Politics and Religion have always been used for and against each other. There is no doubt that events that happened in Middle-East have its root in ancient history - like chosen people, promised land, etc. My point has always been this: THINK and do not BELIEVE blindly. The 'holy' books were written by humans, definitely not words of god! All the claims of prophets, messiahs, popes, charlatans, clergies, imans, moonies, healers, etc. can only be taken with a pinch of salt. They are all humans and humans are the [b]least reliable creatures on earth! I would rather place my trust on a cat, parrot, mouse, dog than to totally placed my trust on human. Only the naive and the world is full of them believed so.
It all boils down to our EGO and SELFISHNESS. That desire to be superior, to control, to lord over - MY god is greater than your god, MY race is more superior, MY language is the language, MY one is the ONE.
Like I said before, morality has been thrown out of churches, temples and mosques. All they are interested is to increase their membership so that they can claim to have the LARGEST following, the LARGEST church, temple, mosque, etc. You see all of these, yet you are blind and deny the very existence of this hypocrisy. There will be no end to this because a sucker is born every minute who will eventually pepertuate and cycle the same old story.[/b]
One should not believe in an "-ism", but instead believe in himself.If this happens, we will have billions of different points of view. There will definitely be similiarities among them. Eventually, some people will band together and you get religion again.

anyone up for a game of dota on zion?Originally posted by JJxJJ:maybe its just the zionists
Quite true. I also see this scenerios often. Some Muslims can joke about other religions but they will get offended by the sheer mention of Islam.Originally posted by mancha:IMy first encounter with Muslim hypocrisy was when I started working. Muslim colleagues, I noticed would make jokes about other's religious practices, but would be extremely offended when another joke about Islam. They would tout the Quran as the most accurate book, and the Bible as corrupted.
y hasn't any1 clarified about dis verse yet?Originally posted by gUms:The great God says in the Koran [47.4]: "0 True believers, when you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads." The above command of the Great God is a great command and must be respected and followed. You should not be so fond of showing mercy, as to nullify the virtue of the act. Henceforth grant pardon to no one of the enemy and spare none of them, or else all will consider you a weak-minded man.
Any muslims can Comfirm on this ?
Yea i also want someone to clarify this...Originally posted by VivId CrItiQuE:y hasn't any1 clarified about dis verse yet?

or are these stories purely fictitious?
Actual verse...Originally posted by VivId CrItiQuE:y hasn't any1 clarified about dis verse yet?
47:4 NOW WHEN you meet [in war] those who are bent on denying the truth, [4] smite their necks until you overcome them fully, and then tighten their bonds; [5] but thereafter [set them free,] either by an act of grace or against ransom, so that the burden of war may be lifted: [6] thus [shall it be]. And [know that] had God so willed, He could indeed punish them [Himself]; but [He wills you to struggle] so as to test you [all] by means of one another. [7] And as for those who are slain in GodÂ’s cause, never will He let their deeds go to waste:Most quotes in the quran about killing people is either a history lesson or a doctrine of war...
automatically not muslim? so wad abt the rest of the sinners? like rapist....stealers.....liars? a sin is still a sin.....Originally posted by chillz88:Wah still copy paste from the internet ha?
I suggest all you non muslims print that out and join in the forum discussions at AMP or Mosques. I've been to some, and there are quite a few non muslims attending, just so that they can understand Islam better.
And for your info (I think I've said this b4), there are way too many websites about Islam that give false information to visitors (I laughed when I read them). Just dial up MUIS to clarify on this.
And also get your Malay friend to translate the news from Berita Harian regarding one ex JI and how he regretted joining them. Fyi, JI and Alqaeda ppl are not Muslims. They have been kicked out of Islam automatically for pracitising sinful acts. Not gonna elaborate on this as I dont think most of you here care to listen. I suggest you personally go down to these forums at AMP Singapore to ask. Google AMP Singapore, get their contact and call them to enquire should there be anymore such open discussions.![]()

Those who call themselves muslims but never repent and seek god's forgiveness for their sins in this world and those who commit grave sins won't go to heave...Originally posted by mhcampboy:No? You wont go to hell and serve your sentence then go to heaven?
So some muslims will remain in hell forever?

This world will see Peace only when the notion of God, the One and only One, etc. is debunked. There is no God. Man created God.
If you are serious about religion, then you must read history, anthropology and sociology. Throw out theology - it is just crap. Open your mind, do a comparative study, explore, search, research. Don't shut your mind, follow blindly a faith, go by family tradition, or subject to peer pressure. Most people who professed a religion actually know very little or if they do, simply learned by heart the bible, quran or sutra. These people can quote practically every word, verse and chapter of these 'holy' scriptures or books. But they all lacked one thing - common sense! When you put everything together, it seems that they all copy one another, twist them to suit their agenda or purpose and sell it to the masses like opium.
Remember this: if there is really a God, omnipotent and creator of all things - He will be greatly saddened by the madness of human, the atrocities and inhumanities that are worse than any beast. It will be one of His greatest regret and surely it is within His Power to end it! But alas, there is no God. Man created the God to serve its own selfish purpose.
Note: I am talking about God, not about the philosophies of Buddha, Jesus, Confuscius, Aristotle or Mohammed. While some of the afore-mentioned became the 'founder' of present day religions, they are all humans, not god, not angels, not son of god, not the messiah or prophet or messenger of god. They invoked god, so that what they taught or said have credence. Today, you can also hear or see people doing the same but without much success. They can only be successful if they resort to evangelism, colonisation and forced conversion, and terrorism!!!
