To our respected member Phatmonky

[Abohamza30]

I thought the point would be self explanatory. I don't have anything to 'pick' Muslimah. I simply do not  understand the conflicting messages I seem to get on this board.  At one hand, I find it highly fascinating to learn about your religion and lifestyle. I like knowing what muslims really think and knowing what is true or not in my country's media.

However, I find it HIGHLY ironic that so often America is chastised for being so violent, and Islam is held to be peaceful and understanding. Then I see a smilie holding two guns to look \"cool\" (nice sunglasses I guess?). I don't how this can show any self expression that is inline with Islam.  

For the rest of your post - I appreciate it, as I do all of your teachings you have given me on Islam.

Aslamu Alaikom Phat,

I would like to adress something that Moslimah exlained to you , my point is about her explaing to you that meaning of Islam and why is is the last accepted religion on this planet for ALLMANKIND:

Something you need too deeply think about and truely tell to yourself, even between you and yourself, that Quran is beyond your judment and is a miraclous book. Many intelligent people in the past, present and in the future have already failed to find one objection or conjecture about the verses of the Quran for two main reasons I need you think,again, deeply about:

The first is that the Quran is a Miraclous book, full of miracles and answers to questions for all people , moslems and non alike. And the meanings of this book will be revealed to you once you TRUELY READ THE QURAN WITH SINCERITY, AND WITH OUT ANY ULTERIOR INTENTION TO OBJECT OR EVEN THINK OF SUBJECTING THE WORDS OF THE QURAN CRITICISM. I say to you phat that you fail to understand the Quran/ Islam for the same reason many people before you failed, you always put your mind into a cycle of suspicion and read the quran and try to illicit meanings. This is not the way and this is why you find yourself always between two facts : the first is that the Quran is a divine book and the second is that it is full of conflicts.

Here is the remedy: The quran does not reveal its meaning to you because you ulteriorly have intentions to criticize and pick on holes while you read the Quran. This is a Miracle in this Heavenly book that you will never find in an book on this planet. Here is my sggestion:

Have a good shower, clean your body with water, try to do Indulation to clear your body of any kind of cleanliness by washing your body with clean water, you may find some link and pictures of how we do Indulation on the internet. Then ask God-if you truly believe there is God- and ask him to reveal the truth to you, the absolute truth and if it was not the truth to keep it away from you distances and distances. Then open the Quran sincerly, and clear any ulterior thought you ever heard about this book and again ask God to help you get the meaning of those verses. read the Quran, Think of its words, and think of every word you read, subject it to your judgment and ask questions as much as you want. I am sure if you finish reading the whole quran once you would want to read it again. And the meanings of the verses of the Quran not clicited by one word or verse or even one aya

Read the verses in full and the Ayas in Full and never give up. I gurantee that you will understand the quran/ islam together.

But if you, yourself are here to just show us you know what our religion is about then I suggest you save your time and just be sure that you dont shake anybody's believe about Quran, because it is enmeshed within our blood ,flesh and bone. We get finely ingrained with Islam.

May Allah Bless you with the truth which is ahead of you. It DESREVES a try, Phat... and remember If god wants good for you he wount turn you down if you truly ask him to help you.

Have a good day.
