Salam Alaikum everyone, I am Jack. My real name is actually Yaacov, but I prefer to go by the name Jack. Here was my 1st post at introduction about 2 years ago: http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4579 I converted to Islam recently and decided to share my story. I will try to...

Actually, thats not what Zionism really means. Its sad that the concept of Zionism has been hijacked by Israelis. The rise of Zionism was required for the protection of Jews against the discrimination & anti-Semitism in Europe.

Misinformed and biased article. Secondly, its virtually impossible to happen anytime soon. I should remind you that there are more Zionist Christians than Zionist Jews, hence, Zionism will continue to stay as long as the support of Zionist Christians are there.

I think you guys should check out the following videos, made by a non-Muslim. He comprehensively refuted R. Spencer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTSR9Iq3f-Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTSR9Iq3f-Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOoWjGA1tHk One of my Jewish friend who studied Islam...

the source of the thread i.e m-kemal.blog is a very dubious & untrustworthy source. secondly, what if he was Jewish?. Shouldn't the Turks be thankful to him for bringing Turkey out of the almost 'Dark Ages'. Come to think of it, the Ottoman Empire was great in terms of humanity, no doubt...

When the Muslims were persecuted by the Pagans in Arabia, they fled to Abyssinia where they were protected by the Christians. So, there's no point considering only one-side of history, as in the past, Christians have also protected Muslims on certain situations! Well, Hijab is also banned in...

As an Atheist who have been studying Islam and Islamic history for about a year, I would have to agree that he was indeed one of the greatest man ever lived.

The Muslims have been weak since 16th century. Muslims have had their glorious days from 8th - 16th century. Thanks to Islamic civilization, the West was able to revive its glorious past. So, why did Muslims all of a sudden collapse ? Is it because the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258 or...

Hmm, many civilizations are not given proper credit. Thanks to our pro-Western attitude. I believe Persian contribution to the world in both pre-Islamic and Islamized Persia is given the least credit.

Grossly exaggerated figure!. I hate to say that its nothing more than a cheap propaganda. The battles won by Rashidun Caliphate against Persians in the East and Byzantines in the West were the greatest ones and un-parallel to any other ones in the later years. Please verify the source...

Hello, My pupose of post was not to criticise Islam, but to learn about Islamic theology, history. I know that the Black Stone is not what Muslims worship. However, like someone mentioned, its not an ordinary stone either. Its a special stone. To the best of my knowledge, the Black Stone...

930AD event: Qarmatiyyah is an Isma'ilite Shi'ite community which settled mainly in the Bahrein peninsula in the 10th century. In 930 the Qarmatis attacked Mecca during the pilgrimage season, killing many residents and pilgrims, and removed the Black stone (Hazre Aswat) of the ka'bah...

Hello/Salam everyone, I found this article very interesting, and reliable (judging from its source). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The world we live in continuously portrays that Muslims and Jews were always in conflict with each other and...

hello/salam, I believe if someone is born in a muslim family but hardly knows about Islam because of his or her parents or surroundings. Later on, he found another religion which he felt was better than Islam, and as a result apostated from Islam, he is also doing it in ignorance, but that...

hello/salam everyone, I think the thread starter is mistaken in saying that this movie pictured anything anti-Islamic. I watched the movie yesterday and i dont think it had nothing to do with Islam. The movie depicts the story of Battle of Thermopylae which took place 480's BC, way before...
