Transmission Of The Qur'anic Revelation

[laian]

And you responded to my post you're as bad as me. You are now in the Anyabwile Zone...no one wants to be there. We're on the same level now.

Yep, and I will respond again

if a Christian comes here with comments against Islam. Then...they are going to hear things they may not like about Christianity. You say "rightly so" she acts as she does...then why come here in the first place?

Ok, from what I saw I thought Ronni originally came to this board to get answers about Islam. Of course she did not come to learn about Christianity, why come to an Islam board for that? But then, in the course of getting information about Islam she got tons of anti-Christian comments (and often angry ones I think) thrown at her. I just think that could make anyone defensive. When I was a Christian learning about Islam, I would have gotten defensive if someone had answered my question about Islam by saying "Oh ya, this is what Islam believes, and in contrast Christians are blasphemous idiots destined to Hell with no chance of forgiveness." Thank goodness no one came at me like that.


(maybe this didn't happen right away, maybe she brought it on herself. If so, that's sad.)

Have you been chilling out with an unusually high number of Christians lately?? wub.gif you're dropping some of the most Bizarre postings i've seen from a Muslim for a while on here. You're not one of the "misguided" Muslims are ya? You know from the funny groups?

Nope, in fact it may be hard to believe but I'm probably more passionate about Islam than you are (if that's possible ) I'm just trying to create the same atmosphere that I had when I was learning about Islam, because as I said above, thank goodness I didn't learn about it in the atmosphere that has developed here. I just think, and I've said this before, Christians are <b>so</b> close to being Muslims, if only they could realize what monotheism truly is, they are just *one* step away, like I was. I guess I just really want to believe that people like Ronni are genuinely curious, and if they are I really want them to learn in a supportive environment. Because suppose Ronni (or any other Christian learning Islam) is ready to embrace... but maybe she has close ties with her Christian family and she's afraid that all her new Muslim brothers and sisters are going to hate and ridicule her family? I know of one sister on this board who recently took shahada, but she did it MUCH later than she would have, because she was concerned about the effects her conversion would have on her family.


Maybe it's hopeless to think that Ronni or anyone else on this board could really get close enough to want to take shahada... but really that's the only reason I even come on here, in the hopes of spreading a good impression of Islam to those who can be guided inshsAllah.

Well it's part of faith to show respect to anyone not just people of the book

lol... even everyone on this board? just kidding, I just never thought you would agree with me on that

i don't know who these cousin like Christians are you keep wanting to embrace. They're not the ones i see and speak with on a daily basis.

Basically everyone I see every day is a Christian, and they are for the most part kind and accepting. Sure there are the really fanatical ones who stand on street corners handing out Bibles and shouting for people to repent and believe on the savior....... but most of them are normal people. And most of them are genuinely curious about why I cover my head, etc. So, in contrast, I don't know who the Christians are that <b>you</b> talk to every day.


About the belief in God... I agree with you, sometimes I feel I'm gonna hurl if I have to hear people talk about how they are saved because they believe in Jesus.... I mean, come ON.... ech. And about those Bible vendors on street corners... you see them all the time at my university, and sometimes I have to walk past one, and they always offer me a Bible, they are so friendly and non-judgemental... but still I just laugh and and shake my head when they offer me a Bible. Ya, like the thing I need is another 2 pounds to add to my school bag lol.


But, having once been a Christian, I know how they see it. They are totally and completely wrong, they actually don't make three equal parts of God, most of them put Jesus <b>above</b> God, which I could never understand (and I never believed). But the point is, they still believe in God... they've just lost sight of Him. And all they need is to have their eyes opened, and I'll say it again... they are just <b>one step away</b>.


Well, maybe it's a waste of my time to hope that some Christians (or any non-Muslims) might embrace Islam as a result of this board. But it's my time to waste as I please
