But these two faiths are supposed to have been 'corrupted' and 'mistranslated', according to Islam anyway. What's Islam's excuse?

Not speaking personally, but hypothetically. Say... a woman meets a Muslim, fall in love and decide to get married. To make matters easier with the man's family, she decides to convert. However, she does not really believe. So she may perform her duty as a Muslim wife out of love and respect...

Did you also read the book of Mormon? It was divinely revealed well after the Koran was written and supposedly when it was supposed to be the final word of God then, just like New Testament before it claimed as much and the Torah before all of them. What about non-Abrahamic religions? Ever...

Yes, that's easy and the answer is simple: none one of those things are perfect. No living organisms is flawless, all are subject to weaknesses, some crippling, and all of them die. While animals and even people are well suited for living on Earth, there are not safe from an almost...

Why do you a problem with a world which 'created itself' or 'came out of nothing' while you are probably quite comfortable with the notion that Allah is infinite and has no creator?

What's your take on this, guys? The article is mainly about 'Mecca time', but the last portion also deals with the tendency to use science to corroborate the Koran. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7359258.stm

Just wondering, but what is it that you find so beautiful?

This is risky thing to answer because I do not wish to draw attention nor do I want to turn this introduction topic into a recruiting challenge. Though I can't really blame if some people still try. :) To actually answer your answer, yes, I would agree that, considering God's commandments in...

Was that a question or an observation? If it's the former, then I guess I'd rather the Sunni POV, if only because of how widespread it is in the Muslim world.

Ah well, maybe I have a question, but it's related to how this site operates. I assume TTI presents a mostly Sunni POV, right? Glancing at some topics earlier, I've noticed little to no disagreements from whoever might be Shia. In other forums, I'm used to seeing Sunnis and Shias...

I'd be interested in a Scandinavian section too. More than many other European regions, Scandinavia is very elevant to recent Islamic issues. I'm mostly fluent in Danish, but by default, I can read Swedish and particularly Norwegian (which isn't all that different) And Finland is technically...

Let's try this again. Here's the reply I originally intended to post: I don't really have any particular questions concerning Islam. Not now anyway. I just want to hear the other point of view, without a barrage of insults or political correctness standing in the way. yeah, I expect a...

I submitted a reply yet it didn't appear in the topic, no matter how many reloads I did in two different browsers. I tried reposting the reply again, but then it continuously complained that I had already posted it. I assume this is some kind of spam protection, but it makes writing anything...

uh, testing... why am I having such a hard time posting a reply? :SMILY309: Is that a common problem?

I don't really have any particular questions. Not now anyway. I just want to hear the other point of view, without a barrage of insults or political correctness standing in the way. yeah, I expect a pro-islam bias, that's why I am here, even though I generally don't agree with it. I've heard...

Hi! I'm not Muslim, don't practice another faith nor do I plan on converting to one. I do interact with Muslims IRL and in other online communities (and religious debates can get heated there), but never with a strictly Muslim environment. But don't worry, I don't plan on causing any...
