was islam correct in asking for the deadth of the muslim convert in afganistan?

No, this is taking away a persons basic human rights to make a decision for themselves, and to be allowed to practise whichever religion they should choose.\n\nIs it any wonder that many non muslims are wary of muslims.

Yes i ,ll still answer infact i usualy answer such question where the asker has completly different point of view, and that is just to convey my message inspite of knowing that it would be rejected, Well i m muslim and i usualy asnwer anti-islamic question just to tell the asker that wht he/she is thinking is wrong and truth is like that.and unfortunatly  mostly that come out  a useless try becuse most of the questions are not meant to know but to bash the religion\n but yes i realy feel good to asnwer those question where  the asker is sincerely seeking the answer.and is not meant to insult.

I'm not sure that explaining Jesus's blood sacrifice to a Muslim can be done. Their understanding of the Trinity is corrupted with false assumptions and heretical teachings. \n-\nQur'an [4.171] "O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector."\n\n- This clearly limits what God can or would do, and then...\n\nQur'an [5:116] And behold! Allah will say: "O 'Isa the son of Maryam! didst thou say unto men, 'Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.\n\n- Here Muslims are told that Mary is a part of the Trinity. \nObviously Mohammad's understanding of classical Christianity has been brought to him by the heretical Gnostics of his day. Muslims are also taught that Jesus was not crucified... \n-\nQur'an [4:157] That they said (in boast), "We killed Al-Masih 'Isa the son of Maryam, the Messenger of Allah"; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. \n[4:158] Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\nhttp://quran.al-islam.com/Targama/DispTargam.asp?nType=1&nSeg=0&l=eng&nSora=4&nAya=156&t=eng\n-\nSome are taught that Jesus was actually replaced with Judas to make it APPEAR as if Jesus was the one who was killed!\nhttp://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/gbar/gbar217.htm\n-\nIt's truly a shame when someone had to modify an existing faith to conform to their own beliefs, and then insist it is the undeniable, unmistakable, and unchangeable truth.\n\nMay God protect us from the lies and deception of Satan and the anti-Christs...\nPeace for us ALL!

Yes, things are getting stranger by the minute. How can our governments continue to give help to Afghanistan when they have such a barbaric system of law (Sharia)?  And not only should Christians be protesting, but so should Muslims, if they really believe it's a crime to kill someone for their beliefs.

Reading the all these "Yes" posted in response to the question as if it was "still" a granted freedom to change or leave Islam is evidence that people often don't understand that religions are not all the same...\n\nLeaving Islam is Apostasy. It is not "considered" IT IS A CRIME as quoted in all aspect of Islamic scriptures and legislatures in or outside of Islamic countries.\n\nIf a member of you family turns his back to Islam it brings shame to reletatives.\nHonor crimes are endorsed in the Koran, which explains the killings or at least the mistreatment of people who leave Islam even today.\n\nThe Koran is very very very clear and explicit, you do not need to be a scholar to figure out that leaving Islam puts you in a position where you become less than a slave. A muslim may not focus on those passages yet a more fondamentalist will use the same scriptural autority to apply this inhuman blackmail.\n\nHere are the quotes from Islamic scriptures:\nAnd do get a Koran yourself, read in your living room on your own. \n\nI am not quoting everything about Apostasy (Leaving islam) but they should make you understand why a peaceful Muslim may feel tremendous termoil when faced to choose between his heart and the situation of someone leaving the religion...\n\nQuotes:\n\n----------------\n\n"Those who blasphemed and back away from the ways of Allah and die as blasphemers, Allah shall not forgive them." Suratan Nisa', Ayah 48\n\n"Kill whoever changes his religion," Hadith\n\n"Kill those who believe in many gods" (Sura al-Tawba 9:5)\n\n\nHere this is not even the Pakistani constitution:\n\n"If a Muslim is found guilty of the crime of apostasy, either through words or through actions, he will be asked to repent during a three day period. If he has not repented within this time limit, he will be sentenced to death as an apostate and his property will be seized by the Revenue office. Every Muslim who refuses to pray will be asked to comply with the obligation to pray within the prescribed time limit. If he persists in his refusal, he will be punished by death." \n           - Article 306 of the Mauritanian Constitution\n\n---------------------------\n\n\nYES you can be killed for leaving Islam...\n\nEven here in America, many who leave the religion must often move to another location in order to protect the wellbeing of their family and the future of their children. Many leave without mentioning it to anyone so that there is no repercussions about it.\n\nIt is so amazing to take our civil right for granted and express such a naive YES to this question. \n\nThink about the reactions to the cartoons, will you trust someone practicing Islam to tell you it is a religion of tolerance or will you trust how they act and walk their talk ...\n\nGo ! read the Koran, wake up and see what this religion is all about.

yes I do.\n\nTo Taimur:\n\nHindus are tolerant thats why Muslims are still flourishing  in india despite all the Islamic atrocities in India.\n\nBeing Tolerant does not mean being stupid and a dodo waiting to be killed.\n\nIf you would keep pushing they will retaliate at last. From your logic If a lady is tolerant then it is OK to rape her and being tolerant she should let it happen.\n\nSir, you are a master in twisting facts--" they accepted islam after when Muhammad bin Qasim came here in Sindh, thats how islam spread in india. "\n\nYou say it like Quasim came India as a tourist!!!'\n\n"Hindus too experienced this treatment at the hands of Islamic conquerors, e.g. when Mohammed bin Qasim conquered the lower Indus basin in 712 CE. Thus, in Multan, according to the Chach-Nama, "six thousand warriors were put to death, and all their relations and dependents were taken as slaves". This is why Rajput women committed mass suicide to save their honour in the face of the imminent entry of victorious Muslim armies, e.g. 8,000 women immolated themselves during Akbar's capture of Chittorgarh in 1568 (where this most enlightened ruler also killed 30,000 non-combatants).\n\n              -Koenraad Elst \n\n"...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within." Almost all the Muslims of South Asia are descendants of weaker elements of the population who had succumbed to forcible Islamic conversion." )  \n\n"The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history". The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride of the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of  Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700 AD.  Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period. "\n\n(source: The Story of Civilization: Our Oriental Heritage  - By Will Durant \n\n”While historical events should be judged in the context of their times, it cannot be denied that even in that bloody period of history, no mercy was shown to the Hindus unfortunate enough to be in the path of either the Arab conquerors of Sindh and south Punjab, or the Central Asians who swept in from Afghanistan.\n\nThe Muslim heroes who figure larger than life in our history books committed some dreadful crimes. Mahmud of Ghazni, Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, Balban, Mohammed bin Qasim, and Sultan Mohammad Tughlak, all have blood-stained hands that the passage of years has not cleansed. Indeed, the presence of Muslim historians on their various campaigns has ensured that the memory of their deeds will live long after they were buried.\n\nSeen through Hindu eyes, the Muslim invasion of their homeland was an unmitigated disaster. Their temples were razed, their idols smashed, their women raped, their men killed or taken slaves. When Mahmud of Ghazni entered Somnath on one of his annual raids, he slaughtered all 50,000 inhabitants. Aibak killed and enslaved hundreds of thousands. The list of horrors is long and painful.\n\nThese conquerors justified their deeds by claiming it was their religious duty to smite non-believers. Cloaking themselves in the banner of Islam, they claimed they were fighting for their faith when, in reality, they were indulging in straightforward slaughter and pillage. When these warriors settled in India, they ruled as absolute despots over a cowed Hindu populace. For generations, their descendants took their martial superiority over their subjects for granted. "... And a substantial number of Pakistani Muslims are secretly convinced that they are inherently superior to the Hindus. One irony, of course, i

God picked the Prophet Mohamed(Praise be upon him) to be his last messenger to earth with his last book the qur'an. When Mohamed( Praise be upon him) was 40 years old, God sent Gybreel ( one of the angels ) with his first msg to Mohamed. And Gybreel kept on coming with the qur'an untill it was completed just before Mohamed (praise be upon him) Died.\nThe Islam was first established in Macca - WHERE mOHAMED WAS BORN AND LIVED TILL HE WAS OBLIGED TO LEAVE TO MADINA - and then the prophet and his believers moved to Elmadina Almonawara because they were abused and tortured in Macca . Mohamed kept sending his messengers to other tripes to invite them to the Islam, and as you probably know most of the people around there were traders so when some one hears the qur'an in Macca he moves to his trip and tells them about what he heard.. This is manly the way the Islam spread through people and good manners.. Mohamed ( praise be upon him ) Refused to fight the people of Macca untill they started fighting him\n\n(Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.)\n\nwhen he sent his army - later on - any where in the world he never started with fighting he only wanted to let people hear the words of Allah.\n\n(And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not)\n\nhe was obliged to spread what God asked him to \n\n(O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith )\n\nI hope this gave you an idea about the islam's first establishment and feel free to check the source for more information.

DONT LISTEN!\n\nit is NOT  a tenet of the muslim faith that they have to kill an infidel (non-christian) to get into heaven. i am a christian that has studid the muslim faith, and it definatly does not teach that anywhere in the Koran.\n\nthe koran does say that if they die as a marytr for Allah the automatically get into heaven, and they will have a 'preferred treatment' of sorts there.\n\nit is the modern extremist teachings that have equated martyrdom with acts of murder.\n\ni hope this helps you bro. i would like to encourage you to reasearch these sorts or spiritual question for yourself. there is nothing wrong with a christian reading the koran, or tanakh, or whatever. how can you beleive in anything if you dont know what you do not beleieve.

This question fails cuz Muslims don't believe he was on the cross. But if he was he would be dying of a combination of blood loos and suffocation due to his lungs inability to contract so he wouldn't have said anything.

In order to understand why these men did what they did you would need to understand Islam.\nThese men believed that their so called god was going to be pleased by all the lives they took and especially that they died martyrs for their faith. Their so called god will bless them in heaven with a lot of wifes or something like that.\n\nBut as an American Christian I know that they were wrong!

I'm not 100% on the Jewish faith, but under Islamic law, a Muslim is to be buried as soon as possible, in as simple as possible grave, without any sort of embalming. I'm assuming it's the same for the Jewish faith. Anyways, the best thing to do would be to get in touch with a temple and ask them who they know and what the rules are regarding burial and stuff. They should have all the information on hand.

Lying in Islam  is OK. Muhammad him self lied when he said he is a messenger from God, he lied when his wife caught him sleeping with her maid Mary, he told her that he was going to withdraw himself and live alone when he went and lived alone a whole month with Mary. He broke his promise to Banu Qurayza.  His men surrendered and cut the water supply to the entire people of Bnnu Qurayza(Jewish) for 14 days then he killed all their men and sold as slaves their women but he kept Rayhanna for him self because he found her beautiful.

Yes, Muslims believe that it was Ishmael that was the one to be sacrificed. Abraham's knife, however, did not cut, because God just wanted to test him. As a reward for his outstanding devotion, He granted him Isaac. From Isaac descended all the prophets of the Children of Israel; except for Muhammad PBUH: he was the only prophet that was a descendant of Ishmael. As for the "chosen people" part, we Muslims - to my knowledge - do not believe that we are the chosen people per say, but are mere servants of God, as are all those who worship God alone. If you want the Islamic version of the sacrifice story, you can check my msn space:\nspaces.msn.com/abrahampbuh (under 'Ultimate Sacrifice') and if you want to learn about Islam/stories of our prophets, you can check the list on the right. Hope this has helped. Peace be with you.

There were different incidents when Muhammad had to go out of town for the defense (as battles used to be carried on out of town). He had different number of people in different battles. In the first battle he had 300 people (militia not even trained soldiers mostly bare handed or having wooden sticks) with him against an army of 1000 trained soldiers with arms and horses. Most of the attackers were killed and some of them were made the POWs. There were no prisons for POWs and hence they were made slaves if different houses. It was the behaviour of their masters that they accepted Islam and still prefered to be slaves of their masters or they were freed later on.\n\nMake sure that people were never forced to accept Islam. If it were true then they would have converted back whenever they had chance. But it never happened in the early days of Islam. Yes it started happening when the teachings of Islam were started to be forgotten.

I think the final count was 104. Some people blamed it on Ramadan, but I wouldn't be surprised if it drops once the elections are over. The terrorists have been known to ramp up hostilities to influence elections.
