I don't think there is a question of how far it extends, as it is about not being hypocrite. Well people don't like to consider them self hypocrites, so it is easier to talk about how far the rule can extend. :) During war for example it's quite difficult to follow this rule even if you are usually...

It does, read the article on Syria posted in this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Syria has Sharia Law.

Quran doesn't say that because a loony who doesn't treat his family kindly might take it differently. Quran explicitly says to be righteous and defines what is righteous. But golden rule is explicitly mentioned in the hadith. There are many verses in the Quran and there are many hadith, but I don't ...

Good luck, I hope you get your car back.

Agreed. The golden rule is not explicitly mentioned in the Koran and the Platinum rule is nowhere to be found. Though I agree that the hadith you posted is indeed an example of the golden rule. And your point? It doesn't need to, it doesn't have to be in the same way as "do to unto others as y...

event horizon , first of all he is right about the translation of the word. Second, I don't really know if that came from Ahmadi site, but not everything Ahmadi say is wrong.

event horizon wrote:So are the Muslim commentators "misinterpreting" this verse?

Yes, whoever interpreted that way. Whats written in the verse is plain to see.

Islam doesn't have clergy for this reason.

Here is MA's translation: BEHOLD, God enjoins justice, and the doing of good, and generosity towards [one's] fellow-men;[2087] and He forbids all that is shameful and all that runs counter to reason,[2088] as well as envy; [and] He exhorts you [repeatedly] so that you might bear [all this] in mind. ...

event horizon wrote:Btw, do you know which verse prohibits pedophilia in the Koran?

The verse has been given couple of times that mentions there is a marriageable age.

Is there a verse in Bible that prohibts pedophilia?

Nucleus

It doesn't mention family. It replaces family with mankind. His argument contradicts your translation. "Treat others as you would treat mankind" Yeah, ok. It says mankind is your family as it is said in other places, we all are children of Adam. It can be interpreted that way. However, I ...

Nucleus

Indeed, and that verse has been discussed several times. Namely, "marriageable" age isn't defined. "Marriageable" age must mean prepubescent because Muhammad married a prepubescent child and the Koran gives divorce proceedings for prepubescent wives. Marriageable age has been di...

That's a side issue when I was talking about the universality of this verse. What the Platinum Rule discussion is about is if the verse says to treat others like you would family (or mankind) rather than the verse saying to treat your family (mankind) well. Then what is the purpose of calling manki...

Thanks

So, where does the verse, where it says to give to family members, actually say to give to others as if they were family members (or mankind)? Even Nucleus says you are wrong on this point. But I guess you didn't manage to read his post where he said that. I said it is connecting the two and it can...

Nucleus

Watch the videos both mention it.

Nucleus

Oh dear God, you people like to argue. I said 'even' if he is wrong, doesn't really change the overall message. You are going to argue it says "mankind is your family" vs "treat mankind as your family." Seriously? As I said rethoric/prose is used here, and it can be interpreted i...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0aw4ym6l6c The majority of our political and military class have embraced drone warfare as the future. But what we rarely see are questions asked about the legality, and the ethics. And what we see even less, are the often devastating results of civilian deaths. The B...

I wonder why these people are in a muslim country when they hate Islam so much. If you guys are Christian, you are making Jesus (p) so proud (sarcasim).

You're welcome. I share, if I find something good. This was a good audio documentary trying see the reasons of conversion and lives of these women. It was informative, and helped me also to learn more about my religion.

Right, Christians with each other are living so peacefully in Northern Ireland. I've come across some in US too who were cursing other Chrisitans for being in another denomination.

But it is irrelevant to actual theological issues.
