Transmission Of The Qur'anic Revelation

[laian]

Assalamu alaikum Anyabwile,


I wasn't "telling you off," and I don't think my tone was at all hostile. I was simply saying, for everyone's sake not just you, that if someone comes with a question that she or he got from a Muslim source, maybe we should check it out before blowing them off.


I completely understand if you do not want to respond to someone who asks a question with a bad tone, whether they have a source or not. I know you don't want to deal with their reaction, and I don't blame you. If that is the case, then you should not respond, not even to tell them that their tone is bad. Then you are only getting yourself into the discussion that you say you don't want to be a part of.


I will repeat once again to make it clear, my comments were addressed to ALL the Muslims on this site, not just you, because it seems to me that everyone has been ignoring Ronni's links until I mentioned them. You just happened to be the last one that said something about it.


And no, I am not defending the kafir. But if we want to have *discussions* with them, we should be doing so in a respectful manner, otherwise they will come back at us with the same manner that we approach them (unless they come here not wanting to learn, which I don't think is the case with Ronni). And part of the beliefs of Islam is to show respect toward the Christians and Jews because they believe in our God, and all of our prophets except Mohammed, peace be on them all.


My only point is to say that Ronni did in fact bring a valid Muslim source, which Umm Z has now been quoting from in this thread. I just thought she deserved acknowledgment for being the one to bring it.
