My mum left Islam at 40 years old. AMA.

GM! Sorry I don't know the answer to that question

lol - oh love you too dearest. 21st in the country lmao! Woohoo - you trying to impress me that with your qualifications - you'll be brain surgeon, rocket scientist or find the evolutionary reason for our existence :-)

I never said that followers of religions should not use their brains to form their opinions. I'm trying to tell you in the most subtle way possible - that some people believe that.

You're such a Ledge lol

Says the person who's still a bank clerk in their mid-thirties! lol

BTW - the hitch is probably better at making arguments or debates than you. Just a thought lol

lmao oh wow

Hey :-)! Who cares? Arguments of this kind are all futile (especially religion). All you have is one person saying that they believe X and then another person to believes Y. You can't say X is better than Y or Y is better than X. That's what I mean by futile. Belief/Faith by definition is to accept something without proof?

Nah in IT babe. Logic, maths etc! All interesting stuff - happy to discuss ;-)

But the questions I've asked aren't about belief/faith. I asked about particular verses written in the Quran that I think are important to talk about and bring awareness that they are wrong, by all definitions.

Why are you only picking only them out for? There's loads of postive why focus upon the negatives only?

Everyone has their own definitions and standards.

Thanks

I actually already read your thread at the time and I agreed with everything you said

That's the issue - there are indeed positives in the Quran and then negatives straight after. This is what I meant by contradictory.

Also, the problem is, you can't just ignore the fact the negatives exist in your religion and then go on to call your religion one of peace and beauty. You have to acknowledge every part of it. Do you see where I'm coming from?

LOL ...

Can't be bothered arguing with someone who has much intellect and cognitive intelligence as an amoeba at the bottom of my pond.

night

Why are you focusing upon the negatives? I am not concerned purley because I do not question my religion unlike you.

Just to let you know it's not irrelevant. To be honest the way the description of the rivers of milk comes in the Sahih sitaa would excite anyone but you.

By the ways you still have not answered my question.

And FYI it's actually interesting when you delve into it. You would never be able to delve really deep due to your ignorance.

If anything the media is largely in favour of islam. Every time some muslim commits a terrorist crime the leaders of western countries go out of there way to say that islam is a peaceful religion.And no I don't understand arabic but you clearly understand nothing of science.

I hope you've got an account with your printer because you'll be needing these on a regular basis. Oh, and there have been a lot more than two of these shindigs!

Anyway, didn't you know that anyone who leaves Islam was never a real Muslim anyway? Come on! That's basic Islamic Apologetics 101.

I like Domino's.

I have no problem with eating halal food, and often do.

More irony. This time accusing me of restrictive and discriminatory practices when it is actually you who consider it "inapropriate" to eat non-halal food!
The whole idea of a Muslim mocking a non-Muslim over their restrictive eating rules is actually pretty hilarious! Did it not occur to you when you thought about it?

To be honest, 'experience of Islam' is irrelevant here. Islam is what it is and what is stated in the Quran is what is meant, and I've wholeheartedly decided to leave the religion upon the basis of what is written in the Quran.

No.

This is wrong, only SOME educated Western countries back up Muslims after a hate crime is acted out by ISIS. ISIS is a very very small percentage of Muslims and the religion should not be targeted because ISIS are ****ed up and not true followers of Islam. Therefore, many people feel the need to get behind Muslims and protecting INNOCENT Muslims from being targeted because of ISIS’ idiotic behaviour that they get backlashed for. Additionally, I have never heard anyone say that Muslims are favoured, it honestly made me laugh. The media can’t wait to label and discriminate blacks and Muslims, yet when a Caucasian commits the same crime, the media can’t wait to describe all the work that they have done and the reason that they committed that crime is because they were once bullied when they were 3 years old. Lay off with the ******** mate, because when Stephen Paddock's harmed 500 bloody people, the word ‘terrorist’ was not used once.

Digsusting, racist society.

I'm not a fan of the religion but I agree that it's nonsense to say that Muslims are favoured and get special treatment. Could you imagine a political party in a European country rising to prominence, proposing to expel all Jews or Hindus from the country if it gets voted into power and getting away with it? I think not.
