Hello! from Sunni Man

[Sunni Man]

They will convert or die.

It is forbidden in Islam to force someone to convert to Islam. The Quran is very specific about this:

“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things.” (Quran 2:256)


By the word "compulsion", it means no one can be forced to accept Islam. If a person was forced to accept the religion. Their conversion would be invalid.

See my reply to jillian.



guilty conscience?

Nope

 

[jla1178]

It doesn't matter. Muslims are always involved in a war, so they are always "relevant" and "situation specific".

I'll give you that:

And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of his brethren.

Genesis 16:11-12

Spoken of the first Arab.

I didn't see where he said that and I also didn't name who I was speaking for. If you see yourself as a hateful bigot, that's your own point of view.

He did...

and no..it's that you appeared to be speaking for all the others who were questioning his knowledge .....

Are you saying that those lines or outdated and irrelevant to the modern Muslim?

It depends on the context and situation in which they were given to the people.

Just as some verses in the Old Testament (Torah) were directed to the Jewish people about certain events and specific situations. Some verses apply to today, and other verses address historical situations or events that no longer exist.

The same is true about the Quran and it's revelations.

 

[Sunni Man]

Well, hopefully, you'll bring a different slant to the conversations we have here.

I'll be watching...................

Thanks Trobineet

Hope you enjoy the show!!

You do realize that these verses were given during during a twenty year span and are situation specific? Usually there was a war going on or the Muslims were being attacked.

Has anyone told you about Jesus?
