Assalamualaykum...
MarkTheWay, it's ok if you don't wanna believe in Islam. But if you think you can convert us, you must give solid prooves, not emotional words... by the way, our faith in Islam is stronger than you can think....
Quote:Let me leave you with this. Why does Islam prevent free and open exchange of ideas and faith? Why does Islam insist on an Islamic State instead of a separation of church and state?
Islam does not prevent free and open exchange of ideas and faith. If you do read a lot ( i doubt that you do) you would find that inter-faith dialog is always held by Muslims everywhere. in my place one of them just ended few weeks ago.... isn't that what we call 'free and open'.
about the Islamic state... hahahahaha!!! sorry, i'm not intended to laugh, but i'm really sure that you know nothing about Islam if you compared the Islamic state with the separation of church and state...
you see, Islam is not only about praying to God. Islam is Ad-Deen, the way of life. Islam is different with other religions. Islam consists of economics, politics, laws, socials, sciences and a lot more..... That's why there is Islamic State. it's not like you worship God during prayeing times then go on your way during worldly hours....
listen, if you want to question us about the genuinity of Islam, you are very very welcome. but make sure you studied about Islam first, and bring out some facts or logical explaination, not emotions.....
Wallahu'alam...
