(2,884 posts)(2) OK, then, by your standards, I should wear my shoes in a mosque. Using your reasoning, it's not because Muslims built their mosque and decided rules of behavior that I should follow them, right? Whoever comes anywhere brings their own customs and is not required to adapt to the prevalent usage, right? Or is it only Muslims who have a god given right to do as they please?
(3) you carefully avoided the unpleasant truths I mentioned about Islam. Why don't you admit that the perfect, eternal word of god, the Quran, condones slavery. As for gender equality, the Muslim argument is a joke: yes, men and women are equally asked to follow what the Quran says. Tough luck for women, those rules are unequal. Better still, allah made man better than woman so that man could provide. Tell that joke to Ginny Rometti, the boss of IBM. A female gets half the inheritance of her brother, how do you like them apples?
btw, you ask me if I am anti Islam. I would have supposed my baseline pic gave a clear clue of what I think of religions, Islam included. god is not great.
(4) again, you carefully avoid another unpleasant truth I mentioned earlier: the violent medinan verses supersede the previous, more peaceful meccan verses. The latest versses being that of surah 9, the only surah which does say in the name of allah the most merciful. Surah 9 is the last verse, and one of the most violent.
