We don’t have Shari Law here. If the majority of Muslims had it their way we would. It happens all the time in countries that practice it. Shari law is in your Koran and it is oppression. Plain and simple. Try denying that.
Hahaha, Opression? Opression? Opressive practices, especially of women, have been influenced on by other cultures, therefore it's simply a cultural thing... Everytime you see mary, you see her wearing a true vail/Hijab... That was a cultural thing out of respect for women.
Shari'ah, not Shari, Law, (You want to talk and critisize but you don't even know the name) is some things scholars put together and declared as an Islamic Fatwa, it's not the direct word of ***. Sharia means path or road which leads to water, and the only time in the Qur'an where it ever refers to the right path is when it sets the rules of SALAT! To pray. And thats the only time in which a man has a slight advantage. What advantage is that? WHEN WE PRAY THE MAN LEADS IT.... WHY?? WHEN YOU PRAY, IT'S FOR ***, HAVING A WOMENS *** IN YOUR FACE MAY CAUSE TEMPTATION... Now tell me thats not legitimet. Theres nothing wrong without leading a prayer.
People who turn from Islam are dealt with by Allah, not us..
Noble Verse 3:72 "A section of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) say: Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers (Muslims), but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back (from Islam)."
I am basically following Islamic Law when I debate on here...
"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption). (The Noble Quran, 15:9)"
We could careless what your religion is... Turn from our's, thats fine, come into it, good for you.
Noble Verse 5:3 ".....This day those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: Yet fear them not But fear Me (Allah). This day have I (Allah) perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your (complete) religion....".
"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to ***'s will) in Islam. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them)."
'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!"
CLEARLY, WE DON'T CARE FOR YOU IF YOU DO WRONG DEEDS AND WE LEAVE YOU ALONE... If murder is stated as a sin in Islam, and terrorism is murder, we basically denounce it by those verses which states that the wrong do-ers are going to ****...
"Say: 'Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth'; but neither Signs nor Warners profit those who believe not. Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: 'Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you.' (The Noble Quran, 10:101-102)" Notice how Allah Almighty orders us to say "Wait" to those who reject Islam. This clearly says that we can't force anyone into Islam, or punish anyone for leaving Islam.
"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message). (The Noble Quran, 24:54)" Prophet Muhammad's duty was only to preach.
"Those who pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Which is better? he that is cast into the Fire, or he that comes safe through, on the Day of Judgement? Do what ye will: Verily He seeth (clearly) all that ye do. (The Noble Quran, 41:40)" Here we clearly see Allah Almighty giving a freedom of choice for people to choose or refuse Islam.
AND IMPORTANTLY...
"And those who take as protectors others besides Him - Allah doth watch over them; and thou art not the disposer of their affairs. (The Noble Quran, 42:6)" Again, Allah Almighty here told Prophet Muhammad that he has no authority over those who reject Islam.
Let us look at Noble Verse 2:256 "Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things." The Holy Quran prohibits Muslims to force any person into Islam. Muslims must not let people resent Islam and Muslims. They must leave people decide for themselves because the "Truth stands out clear from error" (2:256).
I found many verses in the Quran that teach us NO PUNISHMENT for an apostate BUT I found no verse that says the contrary.
Here is another verse about the freedom of expression in the Quran. many translators translate this wrongly and kill the meaning of the word making it a bogus and strange statement. Noble Verse 39:18 "Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding."
The interpretation of those who prohibit women from education, even though Islam clearly allows education for women, and prohibit them also from driving, and oppress men by forcing them to grow beards, even though beards are NOT mandatory in Islam, doesn't mean much to me.
As we've seen above, it is quite clear, and beyond any questioning that Allah Almighty prohibited compulsion in religion and allowed the absolute freedom of religion to everyone.
Hopefully the colours can get into some thick skulls.
WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT HUH SNAFU?! BETCHA DIDN'T!! ANOTHER FOR THE BOOKS ALLAH! BOOYAKASHA!!
In the famouse words of snafu...
Plain and simple. Try denying that.
Some anti-Islamic Arabic speaking people say that the word "Islam" means particularly to "surrender". This is a clear lie, because "Islam" in Arabic means "submission".
Islam is derived from the word Salam which means peace. When someone says "as'SALAMu alaikum", he is saying may peace be upon you, or peace be upon you.
"Let there be no compulsion (forcing others) in religion: Truth stands out clear from error...(The Noble Quran, 2:256)"
I DID A WHOLE RESEARCH PROJECT ON THIS... I worked on it for a month. This was for school... I eventually recieved a 97% and honors in Enlish Literature... Pfft, who would have thought an ex-ESL student. My point is, I have done the research, and I only need to say something, rather than proving your wrong... It's just humiliating.
