My questions for Muslims & its kinda long.

dragonfly1968 · Oct 2, 2014

Hello everyone. I am a 46 year old white female Christian & I am curious about being a Muslim. I don't know any and I want to ask questions that id like answered by Muslims. PLEASE know I mean no disrespect in asking im just curious.

First Is it true that just because you are a Muslim that does NOT mean you believe in hurting or killing Christians or anyone who does not believe in the ways of Islam?

Why do I guess the more radical people hate us so much just because we don't believe? We don't hate yall just because yall don't believe in our Jesus.

Is it true in your own personal life and belief that it does NOT matter where you are from you have the natural knowledge of right and wrong?

Is it true some Muslims do NOT care what others belief is they just want PEACE FOR ALL RELIGONS?

I see on tv the Muslim mothers and fathers screaming and crying holding their wounded or dead children and you know what I see there NOT MUSLIMS but rather I see a MOTHER a FATHER a CHILD. I see LOVE yall have for your kids and loved ones JUST LIKE US. You know other than religon WE ARE ALL JUST ALIKE. Some of yall may like chocolate cake some of yall may not. That is no different than careing what someones taste is for religon. I wish ALL THE GOOD muslims would stand up for themselves against all the BAD Muslims who WANT all this Jihad & fighting because until they do & they quit being afraid then there is no hope for any of us. I don't want to live my life thinking bad of every Muslim I see wearing they clothes they wear because I don't know why they are here. Are they here because they ARE partaking in the Jihad against us Christians or are they here because they realize we are all just people and they want a nice quiet calm peaceful life like anyone else. I was recently VERY saddened over the arrest of several Muslim men in my town from Syria. They own a convience store and over the years we started going there first my parents and grandma. Then I started going. My grandmother was the ONLY person they would take a personal check from & they would always ask me about my mom and grandmother. VERY VERY nice men every one of them. If there was a robber who threatened them I would kill the robber to protect them. This is how much I cared about them atleast. Because they treated me and my family nice and with respect. I didnt see nor care they were Muslims and had different beliefs than me. But recently they were ALL arrested by FBI secret Service etc because they were doing Illegal guns through the store,big rackateering ring,millions of dollars in fake tax returns etc alot of stuff. These VERY VERY nice men. I liked them I didnt want them to be like the "others". im still sad about it. Im afraid to trust any Muslim because of all the tv stuff and that sucks.

Muslim women. How can you like or agree with being treated like we see on tv.????? Why have to wear all that hot heavy clothes to hide yourself? You can dress respectfully without all that. It is 2014.

I wish ALL Muslims would think for themselves and not do this or do that because someone said to do it when in your heart you know it is wrong no matter who your God is. We all have NATURAL feelings.

Teach your kids and young people to NOT go for the radical side because it IS wrong. Love YOUR God Allah all you want but do NOT do wrong because you know right from wrong.

There ARE ALOT of BAD Christians just as well. There is good and bad in us all. No matter where from.

We ALL need to embrace love & peace for the world and our fellow neighbors and citizens. Life is so much better if we all get along.

We love our Jesus yall love yalls Allah no big deal we believe what we believe and we CAN respect each other and be kind to each other without pretending to be nice to each other.

Mind you, this IS a Forum for arab christians, not for muslims.

Ararat · Dec 11, 2014

Just when you bring the word bad, automatically it means non christian. Christian means a perfect person. Any "religion" or thoughts about God other than the Holy Book, is of Satan (as long as you're christian) But also, believing that Jesus is Son of God or praying few times,or putting a cross on you, does not make you a christian.. So there is GOOD people (WHICH MAY lie,drink,smoke,gamble,use drugs,have sex,swear or not swear,donate,respect others,help others,pray,do good things and so on..) BAD people (WHICH MAY do almost everything mentioned + kill, rape,torture and so on..you can add the rest.) and Christians.
Christianity=A direct relation with (God, through) Jesus Christ

First Is it true that just because you are a Muslim that does NOT mean you believe in hurting or killing Christians or anyone who does not believe in the ways of Islam? (there is no assurance of salvation in islam ONLY the assurance comes by killing non muslims read surah 9:111 to make it more clear to u )

Why do I guess the more radical people hate us so much just because we don't believe? We don't hate yall just because yall don't believe in our Jesus. (its a center of belive of any muslim to hate those who dont believe in Allah or his messagner muhammed ,its a command from Allah to HATE , while in contranst JEsus command his followers to LOVE , they do it in matter of obediance no hard feelings )

Is it true in your own personal life and belief that it does NOT matter where you are from you have the natural knowledge of right and wrong? (yes it doesnt matter where u came from , but it does matter if u are a male or female , there is no such natural knowldge of rights and wrongs ! threre are LAWS to follow)

Is it true some Muslims do NOT care what others belief is they just want PEACE FOR ALL RELIGONS? (NOT AT ALL)

I see on tv the Muslim mothers and fathers screaming and crying holding their wounded or dead children and you know what I see there NOT MUSLIMS but rather I see a MOTHER a FATHER a CHILD. I see LOVE yall have for your kids and loved ones JUST LIKE US. You know other than religon WE ARE ALL JUST ALIKE. Some of yall may like chocolate cake some of yall may not.

(what a fancy TV show, come to the mother land of ISLAM SAUDI ARABIA and see the reality of it )

Muslim women. How can you like or agree with being treated like we see on tv.????? Why have to wear all that hot heavy clothes to hide yourself? You can dress respectfully without all that. It is 2014. (those laws made in the 6th century ! and u have to follow them as it is , if u want to be a muslim then dont complain u have NO right under islam to complain against Allah's laws , just follow as u told)

I wish ALL Muslims would think for themselves and not do this or do that because someone said to do it when in your heart you know it is wrong no matter who your God is. We all have NATURAL feelings. (no natural feelings honey , its all writting in a book called Qurran !)

Teach your kids and young people to NOT go for the radical side because it IS wrong. Love YOUR God Allah all you want but do NOT do wrong because you know right from wrong. ( there is no radical side!, its the teaching of the qurran ! there is TRUE islam which is radical by defult and there are muslims without islam and this is the moderate side of it , know the difference)

There ARE ALOT of BAD Christians just as well. There is good and bad in us all. No matter where from.

We ALL need to embrace love & peace for the world and our fellow neighbors and citizens. Life is so much better if we all get along.

We love our Jesus yall love yalls Allah no big deal we believe what we believe and we CAN respect each other and be kind to each other without pretending to be nice to each other.

you better listen to words of Jesus ,not everyone who says lord lord shall enter but the one who DOES the will of my Father in heaven ,

Most Muslims don't hurt or kill Christians. What does that tell you about Islam's majority?

For the same reason any human being hates other human beings; hatred. It is no different than the hatred that drove the Roman Catholic Church to the Inquisitions they used to enforce their interpretations, or the hatred that drives extremist Muslims to enforce theirs.

Many people, religious and non-religious, have problems with right and wrong. People kill, steal, lie, cheat. Not everyone naturally understands the difference, as is evident by the world we live in.

It's true that many Muslims prefer peace to war, yes, and aren't willing to go starting wars over doctrine. There are vast numbers of Muslims who would rather live in peace, despite differences. We can see it. Most Muslims don't kill.

Exactly.

Lots of Muslims do stand up against the ideologies of violent extremists, but to fight against them and to killthem isn't peaceful.

It depends on the person, but most are the latter.

Then you know not all Muslim people want death and destruction for Christians simply because they are Christians.

You know, sometimes it pays to see things from all sides. While I won't say what these men were doing was right, was it any worse than bombing villages full of innocents as the Americans have done? Or conquering Middle Eastern countries, killing hundreds of thousands and laying claim to the spoils and riches (as the British Empire have done)? Just because the FBI arrested these men for being against America's interests, does not mean that they are any more evil than the party doing the arresting. Financial institutions in America have been duping and defrauding people for decades, but I don't often see bankers put in prison.

Lots of Muslim women aren't forced by their husbands to wear the burkha; lots choose it because they see it as a symbol of privacy in a growing culture where women are treated as sex objects and consumer products.

Everyone should think for themselves, not just Muslims. From the moment we enter education we are brought up and told what to believe, whether it be that money makes a valid human being, or that strict and violent interpretations of Sharia are God's demands, we all are subject to what we are taught, and often forced, into believing. One of the things I have found easterners disagree with, for instance, is the way we in the West force our children to go to school to learn attitudes that promote financial and material wealth as the pinnacle of human achievement. Perhaps, with all due respect, it would be good to focus your attention closer to home in this regard.

Radicalism is a subjective premise. What we might call normal in the west, others may call radical. But again, yes, absolutely, teach your children to be kind, generous, loving, not hateful.

Absolutely.

Absolutely!

At the end of the day, I can imagine people calling you naive, but I don't think you are. If nobody is ready and willing, if nobody wants to respect one another and be kind to one another, then nobody will; the desire you have is the desire we need to see more of -- to make peace.

We must also remember that television has turned into an avenue for advertising. Advertising is what pays for most the programming we see on tv, so the television stations will usually air the types of programming that will keep people in front of their tv. The majority of people are rarely willing to sit through boring shows, so things need to be fabricated or sensationalized to keep people on-the-edge-of-their-seat. This is why the news is filled with chaos, destruction, shootings, etc. I'd be willing to bet that the things we see on television aren't nearly as bad as the programming would have us believe.

Dear all
One cannot generalise! I am a Christian in a Muslim majority country and I have no problems, practising my faith.
All Malaysian Malays are Muslim and the women are very proactive, dynamic and resilient. They go to university, get higher degrees, good jobs and do well in life. I have many Muslim students too and we get on very well.
best wishes

Christian means follower of Christ. If it had any chance of meaning perfect person, well...we wouldn't need Jesus.
There are Bad People, and Bad people that follow Jesus, if you apply your thinking to the Bible.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
ALL have sinned. We're all bad people with that definition. It is Jesus that saves us, according to what the Bible says. Muslims aren't any worse or better than us. Neither is anyone else. Sinners are sinners.

We know very well not only muslim who are killers. In muslim there's good people as its in christian.tell me what would american armay do to some place like Irak?we know they destroy countries for there benefit and worste are those whom help them.have we forget what they did to japan years ago, or in vietnum? No one should take life for onther person but its easy to point a finger to a wick person.as christian i know if we all love one others,we'd live well but plp nowdays don't fear God.

Agricola · Jan 27, 2015

DO you agree with the actions of some of your US troops fighting in conflicts around the world? Do you agree with the need to throw grenades into a building knowing kids could be inside, but you have to because it means either the enemy dies or you and your buddies get killed?

Objective of Islam is to bring the whole world under Islamic law and control. Islamic State is simply an extremist Sunni Muslim group who are most likely being funded by just about every Sunni Arab leader and government.

These soldiers are doing the dirty work and of course that does not mean the civilians have to agree with it, so on the whole most Muslims are not going to agree with the horrors, just as most British people did not like how we fire bombed Dresden in WWII, just as the American population turned on the Vietnam troops.

Do not be nieve that its just actions of a "few nutters" though, the media portrays extreme terrorist acts as just that, but that is a smoke screen and hides the real truth, that it is all part of the long term goal and funded and fuelled by Islamic nations and wealthy individuals.

Musa · Jan 31, 2015

Can't say much, because what u said can not be more than a entertainment. But just to say if u want to criticise something， at least understand the basic and do not try to fool your fellow Christian, because they are then only ones you can fool.

Musa · Jan 31, 2015

First Is it true that just because you are a Muslim that does NOT mean you believe in hurting or killing Christians or anyone who does not believe in the ways of Islam?(yes, and indeed Islam says the opposite, it was mention in surah maeda 5:82, that Christian are the closest to Muslims, also Surah imran 3:64, say to Jews and Christia ns, come into common terms between us and you "(footnote:and the thing we differ, come to it later). Also surah bakarah 2:62 surah maeda 5:69, says Jews and Christians who believe in God and the last day and do good deeds, they will not suffer in the hereafter. Now, there is not a single religion other than Islam, says that u don't have to believe in the very religion go get into heaven, but Islam said so. Christians and Jews who are Muslims at heart(submit to God(some people call Jehovah)) may get into heaven by the mercy of Almighty Allah(SWT)

Why do I guess the more radical people hate us so much just because we don't believe? We don't hate yall just because yall don't believe in our Jesus.(sorry but I have to differ, there are radical Muslims but none aimed at Christian only, not even one of them. However, on your Christian side if u research, over 60000 books was written against our prophet Muhammad(SAW), using completely derogatory terms against him. While not a single Muslim said anything about Jesus and you are wrong for saying we do not believe in Jesus because islam is the only non Christian faith that made the belief of prophet Eesa(i.e Jesus) an article of faith, no Muslim is a Muslim if he do notbelieve in Jesus. And I would not blame you for your comments at all because I was a Christian, and 5years ago Ialways thought Christians are super nice people. But after I realised, most of us were being fooled, to end this question I just remind you 60000 books against our prophet and you tell us you do not hate us? plus, that was a data in the 1990s, so...)

Is it true in your own personal life and belief that it does NOT matter where you are from you have the natural knowledge of right and wrong? (We believe conscience was given by God, which many Christians do believe so as well. So I am not going to explain further)

Is it true some Muslims do NOT care what others belief is they just want PEACE FOR ALL RELIGONS? (As I mentioned before, if u study every religious Scripture u will understand even Hinduism believed in one God the Creator, that's was the verse in the quran surah imran 3:64, O peoPle of the scripture(may include Buddhist Sikh and Hindu as well) come into common term between us and you(taalawila kalimatin sawa inbaynana wa baynakum). What are the common terms? God is one and we worship him only, it isthis simple. But it does not mean that we believe it does not matter which religion you believe, we recommend to you Islam, because this is where u can get reward for the hereafter, but it is not a compulsory in order for you to be saved from Hellfire. so you don't have to be Muslim to get into jannah(heaven) but u do have to be a Muslim to get close to your maker, which is true as Islam is the only religion says that everyone can have a direct link with his or her maker without any middle man.)
So my dear sister, I want to invite you into the mercy of the Almighty, we believe that the Almighty can forgive our sins solely with His mercy and that is enough. But if you like Christianity at least let us agree there is only one God worthy of worship.
Assalam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatul(May peace, mercy and blessing of the Almighty be upon you.)

Musa · Jan 31, 2015

In regard to JakeyRue's comment I will say produce your proof, chapter verses from the quran to back up your point and make sure u do not say u red a book while u can't even spell its name.

Musa · Jan 31, 2015

Muslim women. How can you like or agree with being treated like we see on tv.?????(well, not so sure what u mean, Islam is the onlyreligion which promote women's right in the dark age(i mean as 600s to 1200s) so please study the history there) Why have to wear all that hot heavy clothes to hide yourself? You can dress respectfully without all that. It is 2014.
In regard to this point, I may be a bit rude so forgive me.
Western women. How can you like or agree with being treated like we see on newspaper?Why have to wear literally no cloth and being treated only as a sex object, or try to please the men around you, or even get jealous of someone more "sexy" than u, it's 2014, it is time to wake up. You are human beings, not sex toys of men!
You rather put money in your purse to protect it, not take it out to show off and get robbed.
