Bismillah:
Here we go again... :D
Quote:1. How do you treat the Qu'ran? Do you throw it around & place ordinary items on top of it? Would you let your child scribble all over it, rip out pages & scrunch them up - considering it's just a book? Or are you more delicate with the Qur'an because you believe it's holy???
2. When Nike pitched a new shoe design with the name "Allah" (in Arabic) stitched on, the Muslim world went hysterical & cried out, "No, we can't walk on Allah!" So Nike withdrew it's proposal. But isn't is just a piece of material???
Do you see the significance now?
I also don’t throw the Bible around and treat it with disrespect. Although I don’t consider it holy, but since my Christians friends do have faith in it, then it become obligatory on me to show respect to their beliefs… however, I do not show any respect to some woods and stones made by human beings.
Quote:We bow as a sign of honour & humility - in similar fashion to how someone bows before the Queen of England.
No one bowed down to Prophet Muhammad pbuh (<b>the best of all creation</b>) when he was the ruler of Arabia. Do you see the significance now? The Prophet Muhammad pbuh even warned us not to make out of his grave a place of worship, to avoid the practice of <b>polytheism. </b>
Quote:Good grief! WHO'S WORSHIPPING AN IDOL???
The one who bow down to it…
You know what? I will have no problem if you bow down out of respect to Mary may Allah be pleased with her when you see her <b>in real</b>, you may even kiss her hands and feets, <b>but to touch a piece of stone ,talk to it , bow down to it and ask for its help</b>??? That is not acceptable.
Quote:Pagans don't believe in Saints nor do they believe in One True God.
Absolutely wrong; Pagans during Muhammad’s pbuh time did believe in One True God and they even called Him Allah, but they associate with Him partners/saints in prayers and offering. Exactly what Catholics doing today.
Quote:Look, you could label Catholics as Satan worshippers for all I care - it's not going to change the fact that Catholics worship God & only God.
True, they do believe in one and only God, but at the same time, <b>they also pray to other people along with the one true God. </b> which was practiced by pagans.
Quote:Then why do you face it? i.e the Ka'bah
Because it was chosen by God to unite all Muslims into one direction, and we are not to question God why you chose this place exactly, can you as God why He chose Mount Sinai to speak with Moses and not the Everest? We are Muslims (i.e he who submits his will to the will of God) and since that was His will, then we obey it, and one of His will is to worship and call upon Him only and no His creation.
Muslims even during Prophet Muhammad’s pbuh time stood up on the top of the Ka’bah to give the call for prayer, which idol worshipper today will stand on the top of the idol that he worship?
Quote:We ask ALIVE souls too!
"Say: Think to yourselves, if Allaah's punishment came upon you or the Final Hour, would you then call on other than Allaah? (Reply) if you are truthful."
Qur’an 6:40
Quote:Why only Muhammad (PBUH) & not the other "messengers"???
By bearing witness that Muhammad pbuh is the messenger of God, you are making a commitment with God Almighty that you have accepted the message that he brought to humanity. The only one thing Muhammad pbuh was asking his people is to believe in only One True God, and that he was truly His messenger.
Quote:Are your private intentions (dua) included in Salat?
Yes, we may also offer Du’a and call upon God anytime we desire. In fact, in every action that Muslim take in his daily life, we do have a prayer; when we wake up, when we sleep, when we go to the bathroom, when we come out, when we eat, when we finish eating, when we go out of our home and when we come in, when we drive a car or take any transportation, when we see some calamity, when we enter the mosque, when we come out, and on and on…
Quote:You're not doing yourself or the Holy Bible any favours
Maybe not to the Bible, but indeed I am doing to myself a favor by studying your Bible.
Quote:"Reading through somebody else's glasses" ... I don't get it!
Oh you are the first Christian who don’t get this one. Ok try hard and you will get it
Quote:The only title from above that's not quite right is the last one The rest possess some kind of truth (more or less).

Salam and have a nice day.
