Muslim owned live on Radio.

102 posts and not one muslim has said anything about how true the DJ was when he was talking about extremist muslims, and you lot wonder why people have views about Islam that they have.

Anyway I'm not going to wait around anymore to try and get a decent response from a muslim because from past experience I will be here all night. Got to cook.

Take care all.

Absolutely. There are 1 billion Muslims on the planet, and as such, there are 1 billion versions of the Qur'an.

I read the Qur'an, and the way I interpreted it (without twisting) it showed itself to be a vile religion. But you're quite right, I'm sure there are people out there who read it with a different sort of slant and manage to find some peace, love, etc, in there.

But the point is that if the Qur'an IS so open to interpretation, then how can the guy on the radio claim that 'Islam doesn't condone these things, it condemns them'? Maybe HIS version of Islam does, but what makes his version of Islam more valid than the version of Islam taken by an extremist?

When 'Allah' supposedly handed down the Qur'an, he never provided a separate book entitled 'how to interpret the Qur'an', unfortunately. So your guess is as good as my guess which is as good as Osama Bin Laden's guess which is as good as the Muslim who works in my local corner shop's guess. There's no way to say who is right, and so the DJ was absolutely spot on when he told that Muslim that he had no authority to represent Islam. He can represent his own, personal and completely subjective version of Islam, but he can't go beyond that.

So then, what is 'Islam' and what, really, is the point of it?

P.S. comparing the Qur'an with the Bible doesn't reflect favourably on it with me - I'm vehemently opposed to all religion.

funny isn't it, how I (and anyone else) gets abused by people like you for loading a video up where the DJ simple expresses the opinions of many people, how about you stop abusing me and start abusing the extremist muslims, otherwise you (and muslims who behave like you) will continue to feed the so called 'Islamaphobia (which is based on logic by the way).

Please, elaborate. I'm sure that all of the Muslims here are sitting on the edge of theirs seats, waiting for you to reveal the TRUE meaning of Islam, so that they can all live their lives by it, 100% certain that they are pleasing Allah by doing what he intended.

Also, you've just dipped your Muslims in the **** here - what you're basically saying is that they can be judged by the actions of other Muslims, since they're all following a singular message?

I thought TSR was free of stupid racists.

Cleary nowhere is safe......

But even within the Sunni sect there is disagreement and various interpretations.

No two Sunni muslims live exactly the same lives because they have such different interpretations of the Qur'an.

I keep going back on what I have just said in order to provide a frustrating experience for the other person that I am arguing with whereby I can pretend that I am smart. For example I will throw out several examples of why I think the Muslim faith is a bad thing then when faced with the accusation of being xenophobic I will immediately hide behind the idea that I dont think it is true of every Muslim, thus contradicting myself. Whats more I like to recommend that people read a dictionary as a recreational hobby in a weak form of an insult because doing such a thing satisfies my own insecurities.
