Assalamu Alaaa al Mumineen, wa Rahmatullahi, Wa Barakaathuh (Peace, Blessings, and Mercy be upon the Beleivers).
To all of Sepithol's comments and rude remarks, Pah, I think this is going to be a VERY funny battle (of the minds).
For one thing, you try saying that Muslims think that it's alright to "can hurt other people, and still go to heaven, as long as they do not have any fun themselves" and that "music and sex is evil," and "why should Muslim children be raised to beleive in Islam," right?
Well, let me tell you a FEW good points to make out:
"can hurt other people, and still go to heaven, as long as they do not have any fun themselves."
In Islam, a person can NOT hurt another person, and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) ENFORCED this extremely during his time (and so did his righteous companions). If a person committed murder, then the murder MUST be executed, BECAUSE: he took the life away from an innocent person (and do NOT try to associate Islamic Combat Fighting with murdering, because a Muslim can NOT kill or fight anyone when they have been victorious, and mind YOU, in Islamic Warfare, the Muslims MUST treat the prisoners of war with CARE), and the second reason is because THAT is the way that their sin is forgiven, that THEY must go through punishment so that THEY understand how the person they killed felt, and THEN there's a chance for them to be forgiven by God ().
"music and sex is evil"
Not neccessarily. MUSIC in Islam is NOT really evil, it is "just" a SIN, and why? Because music fills a person's mind, the lyrics, the beat, and everything else. And? It causes a person to FORGET God, because their head gets SO filled up with this that it is HARD to remember God when they are praying or throughout the day (and this problem ONLY exists in Muslims BY THE WAY).
Sex is evil? Only when it is done OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE, and SINCE you are a female, I'LL tell you from what
I know about that stuff.
You see, I WAS a boy before (I'm a male now, but became more mature in my mind than all the other boys and guys), and before, I wouldn't really practice Islam (just pray close to 5x a day, fast, and a few other stuff, but I would indulge in the stuff my peers were in), and so you know what happens when you go to Junior Highschool in a public school? Yep, you start getting into GIRLS (if you're a boy), and I PROMISE in God's name, that I
NEVER EVER felt happy when I would have a whole bunch of girls around me, and "trying" to act like (what boys tried to call me), a "playa" (< and NO I didn't go out with girls either, it just looked like I "could attract them" even though my appearance at that time was bleh...), and going around acting like a stupid fool. And I PROMISE in God's name that the ONLY time in my life that I EVER felt happy was when I had LEFT that life BEHIND me, and TRIED HARD to GET TO OBEYING HIM, because THAT is what REALLY gave me Peace, Serenity, and BLISS in my heart.
But anyway, LIKE I WAS SAYING, after I came back to practicing Islam (and being REALLY differant, from wearing saggin pants and t-shirts, to wearing a Kufi, formal clothes, and trying my best to show good manners and respect to people, and not only that, but I also wanted to have a bit of compassion to people too), I REALLY understood about all the FILTHY DIRT that I would have been in if I continued living the life that I lived in Junior Highschool, because you know what? Boys don't care about you! All they do is see some "girl" that they like (they either say the "chick" to her, or call her a B-#@%$, AKA a female dog, if you UNDERSTAND what I mean, and by the way, this is from all boys, INCLUDING pimps), start talking to her, and TRYING their best to make that girl beleive that they LOVE her, and they start kissing, hugging, and going out, until he does what? He tries his BEST to get her to having sex with him.
Since she's fooled that he "loves" her, she agrees (and if she understands Sexually Transmitted Diseases, then she'll resent at the beginning, but the guy won't shut up and will STILL persist to have sex with her), and you know what? They "enjoy the warmth of their bed," "being naked," and "touching eachother (wait, eachother? No no, I was sarcastic, I really mean: HIM TOUCHING HER)," and so when they're done, the next day, or a week later, he DUMPS her, and goes and has sex with 5-6 other girls that he was DATING AT THE SAME TIME.
And what ends up? Three weeks later, the girl finds out that she's PREGNANT, and she's UPSET, because:
1.) She doesn't want to have to TAKE CARE OF A BABY when she's only a teen!
2.) She REALLY found out the TRUE nature of her "lover;" he tricked her into thinking that he loves her, he tricks her into having sex. and after "he gets a taste of her virginity," he then dumps her, leaving her with a baby, whom SHE must now raise, as a TEENAGE girl.
And also, the girl gets EVEN MORE PISSED OFF when she finds out that she has Sexually Transmitted Diseases! But it is HER FAULT for falling for his tricks, and it's HIS FAULT for trying to deceive someone that he KNOWS is prone emotions and words.
And TRUST me, I spend CLASSES around "pimps," "players," and "p-o-r-n freaks," and you know what they tell me? These ""pimps" (and TRUST me, them, including the players, and some of the *!*!*!*! freaks, are the boys that girls say are, "cute" and "sexy,") were like to me: "You find a girl you like, you try having sex with her, and then you stay with her for a couple of months, NO LONGER THAN A YEAR," and I said to them, "What if she gets pregnant?"
"Well, THAT is why you only stay with THEM (the THEM means all the girls that they play) for a couple of months, but NO LONGER THAN A YEAR," and when I resented about that, they just told me that I'm just "weird," because like they told me:
"You don't know the way we boys play (with girls)," because they THINK that I NEVER knew about, or was close to being that way the previous year.
But anyway, in my head, I was thinking, "Oh yes I DO know the way you boys try to play (with girls)," because I've BEEN around it for the past years, and I was getting a BIT into that stuff in Junior Highschool also!
And TRUST me on what I said about the so called-"cute boys" that girls have crushes on, in which the boy turns out to CRUSH HER (be the CRUS
HER), and be a "pimp & playa," because TRUST me, I live in the USA, and walking distance (of about fifteen to twenty minutes) from the ghetto part of my city (yeah, P-Town's known for their large Bloods community in the ghettos and in downtown), and IF you listen to P-Diddy and the Bad Boys, 2pac and the Outlawz, LiL Wayne, etc. then you'll KNOW what I'm talking about (with gang members and boys having sex, and infecting diseases into girls and making a whole bunch of girls getting pregnant).
After reading all of this about sex before marriage, TELL me? DOES this seem just? To DO something like this? Obviously NO! (< if you got a RIGHT MIND, because it's DISGUSTING that SO MANY babies are born a year out of wedlock, and many kids in the USA do NOT even know who their father is BECAUSE of this!)
And so THAT is why:
Sex before Marriage is
BANNED in Islam.
Cheating on your spouse (when you are married or engaged) and having SEX with another person (other than the one that you are married or engaged with) is
BANNED in Islam.
And also, RAPE is ALSO,
BANNED in Islam (not to mention for the FACT, which I am PROUD of, that in ISLAM, the RAPIST gets STONED TO DEATH, and THAT is Justice, meaning that the Rapist DOES get punishment like that for DESTROYING the dignity and honor that God has bestowed upon a female).
I do NOT want to talk on this subject further.
Now, for your LAST statement:
"why should Muslim children be raised to beleive in Islam,"
Well, why should people CHOOSE to become Muslim? Because they KNOW that Islam IS the truth! So what you are telling me is:
1.) That I should raise my child in a bad society, so (like I said above) he will grow up disrespecting females and get infected with STDs? (< and also, in Islam, a man MUST be good to women, just because a small FEW aren't (and these few don't EVEN practice Islam, or don't practice it correctly!), doesn't mean that there aren't a whole BUNCH of Muslim men (with Kufis and beards) that do!)
2.) Or how about raising my child as an agnostic? And do you REALLY know what an agnostic does? It's not merely that he does not follow a formal religion, it's that what he does is that he STARTS HAVING IDEAS ABOUT GOD WHICH ARE BASED UPON ONLY WHAT HE THINKS GOD IS, AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY PROPER DIRECTION.
And example, the Deists, who beleived, "God is so powerful that WE as mortals can NOT have contact with him," and in which OTHER Deists thought that "yes, we CAN communicate with God, we just need to ask and worship those INTEMEDIATARIES, or people/idols "who he's close with," and in the end, they believe that a MERE human being (which is DEAD) can hear thousands of voices ALL AT THE SAME TIME, which then makes those idols/people be considered DIVINE!"
But anyway, Islam IS the Truth, and whether you accept it or not, and whether you embrace it OR NOT, but ALL that I will do is GIVE you the proof, and YOU must decide whether or not you will: USE this knowledge to benefit you, or harm you (that EVEN after you are STILL given ALL the proof that Islam IS the Truth, you decide to NOT convert and be a Muslim), because whether or not you are a Muslim or become a Muslim or NOT does NOT matter, but that you have been given ENOUGH evidence and proof.

And ANOTHER thing, let me teach you a bit about WIFE BEATING and FEMALE OPPRESSION in Islam:
