You seem to be ignoring the facts here. I hear an echo. :D Seriously Shafique, didn't you feel a little weird writing this line? OK, so to run down the factoids. Aisha was a tiny child when the old man started desiring her and 9 years old when the marriage was consummated. You excuse this act becau...

sir, who made the MasterBaiter option disappear?

Edit: I see that MasterBaiter is a statement instead of an option and MAC...keeps losing things. makes perfect sense to me.

Shafique, why do you insist on having us state comparisons between prophets of the Bible to Mohammad when you will undoubtedly end up doing what you have been doing up to now, completely ignoring some of the blatant facts of the Quran while slicing away with your little wooden knife at the Bible. Wh...

I am not a Christian or Mulsim (obviously) (I am one freza doesn´t like) FD, I hope you didn't take all of what I said about disliking certain people that seriously! Shafique, get this in your head and make sure it stays there. I did not say that Islam is beautiful because of Mohammad. I said I fin...

Agreed. Muhammad, pbuh, passes this test. huh?? he passes the test of an imaginative and opportunistic man. does that count as "passing a test"? You really should get off the high horse some time. Once I get on it, it's kinda hard to get off, you must know. Shaf why did God treat Mohammad...

Reminds me of an old story, This guy had a girlfriend named WENDY so he decided to tatoo her name on his package. When his package was "happy" it read "WENDY" othewise when not happy and resting it just read "WY". One day he was at the urinal and noticed this big black...

whoooahh! too much going on here :P Shafique, before I reply to your post..I read it twice and was a bit incredulous at your replies so I'm wondering 'what's the point, if this isn't really a debate'. About the Hebrew prophets, I'm not getting you. You know their stories I assume, you know that they...

Totally agree - when I critique the book of Mormons or Scientology, the adherents also disagree with my opinions and consider my arguments invalid. There should be no compulsion in religion, but just a sincere search for truth and respect the other persons' views and opinions. I do believe that the...

Shafique,

please be focused enough to answer the specific issues I raised about the prophets.

freza - your confusion will be ended if you go over to the other thread which has details of which Biblical prophecies Muhammad, pbuh, fulfils. mmm...actually I'm confused by your confusion. Deut 18 talks about a prophet that will be raised like Moses, and from the Bretheren of the Jews (God could ...

check that hair parted to the side...Concord was an Emo kid! I had no idea Emos were around in the 1940s!!

sawy. I don't agree to just disagree in this case because then that means you won't address the issue, questions and contradictions that have been brought up and which I think do deserve some pondering...

So when the Bible records a prophet as saying that they have sinned, or slept with their daughters etc and the Quran says that these are not true (in that prophets are sinless), then I interpret the accusations of sin in the Bible as later additions by those writing the Bible. Why should anyone bel...

yup masturbation is a sin according to Islamic scholars which one assumes they base on the Quran. And that thing about masturbation being OK when it prevents adultery also left me-> :scratch: btw, I came upon this phrase of Fayyad ibn Najih: When the male organ of a man stands erect, two thirds of h...

titillating thread! (sorry, couldn't resist saying this..) I read about this breast feeding thingy on the USC Islamic Texts Compendium time ago and was baffled by some of the texts there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it's a tradition (to some) that kids even if not relatives but breas...

Re: " When the male organ of a man stands erect, two thirds of his intellect go away. " actually I think this is a little gem because I think the author is being honest! Re: You ask why should anyone believe the Quran's version of events over the Bible. It comes down to choice. wow! I woul...

Told you there were wierd hadith out there! the weirder the better! People do invent the strangest things - like having us believe that a 'son of God' would curse a fig tree for not having any fruit (when it was not fig season)! (Sorry, could not resist that one). Jesus did and said some weird thin...

what the difference?

Why should a Jew believe your interpretations and reject the OT when it says Elijah needs to descend bodily from heaven and the Messiah needs tw decades later the Romans ransack Jerusalem). woah! The banishment of wars - surely you do know that it's referring to the Second Advent. Don't Muslims bel...

I don't get this video... not a very focused message. however Life is continuous. what exactly do you mean by "continuous" ? Life started and life will end for everything, including the universe. Everything in life starts from something and ends eventually so the big question here is what ...

You believe Lot was not a prophet, the Quran says he was. it's not what I personally believe, it's that he didn't meet the basic criteria. How was he a messenger of God? What message did he bring man? not a prophet. focus on something more substantial. Mohammad is known to have acquired an imperfec...

Mexoryl SX?

Choco, that whole everyone is free to "not believe" as they want, of course, I agree. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

That recycled energy that you talk about - it had an origin. It's something which can't be denied. everything as we know it - got started, somehow.

in conclusion, why I don't think Mohammad was a true prophet: His personal character. He might have been fond of prayer and have decreed some good deeds onto others but I think that the excessive praying bit were him wrestling with his personal demons (figuratively) and his good deeds were mostly pa...

please revisit and consider the great suggestions on the thread "Suggestion: Reboot?" http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=20405 can't you just pretend that Ian didn't write it? maybe it would be easier to consider it that way. btw, the forum seems to be experiencing some technical d...

the fatwa against playing chess is shameful, right? chess is a great game, why would anyone put it down???

good idea. I wonder what shafique thinks of this concept...
