Response to long listing.

Here is the reply from someone that left their identity hidden to the posting. My replies are at the bottom with emphasis.

What were you expecting...
What's the meaning of this life in your opinion, if there is no difference between believing and disbelieving?

Let me tell you my belief...
This world and life is nothing more than an examination from Allah who created you and me...
As Allah says in Quran:
"He(Allah) created life and death in order to see which of you will do (live, behave) good."

So if disbelievers would get the same reciprocation for their manner, what will be the meaning of this life...

Another thing is that I see that you are trying to present Islam as a belief which aims death for all disbelievers.. But Allah says in Quran:
"No compulsion in believes (don't force anyone to believe in Islam), the right and the wrong certainly became outstanding (since from that time on Quran tells the truth with its proofs)"
So the humanbeings are free to choose what to believe as in all examinations and the truth had been already told to all humanity by Allah...

Muhammed, Christ, Moses and all the other prophets brought the same Message to humanity:
ALLAH IS THE ONLY GOD.
ALL POWER BELONGS TO HIM.
ALLAH IS THE CREATOR OF ALL BEINGS AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES LIFE AND PRESERVES THEM.
ALLAH IS THE OWNER OF THE GREAT JUDGEMENT DAY.
HE SENT HUMANITY MANY PROPHETS TO INFORM THEM ABOUT HIS EXISTENCE
AND TO ADVICE THEM TO BELIEVE IN HIS EXISTENCE
AND TO WARN THEM ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT DAY ON WHICH THE RECIPROCATION OF ALL WORKS ON THE WORLD WILL BE GIVEN.
ALLAH DOESN'T TYRANNIZE MANKIND,
BUT MANKIND TYRANNIZE THEMSELVES BY NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MESSAGE OF ALLAH.

And lastly if we come to the warfare of Islam... Again in Quran Allah says:
"Fight (to preserve Islam) against the ones who declares open war to you"

I think this is clear enough for you...
So the the war is not against all disbelievers, it is only against the ones who became a threat for the future of ISLAM...
If you would like to know the details of Islamic warfare (which has no similarity to the Israil's) i can meet your curiosity...

and please read the whole of QURAN and then try to reach a conclusion...

Have read it, although I did not compile all of the very long listing. There were things in it that I am not in complete agreement with but I see nothing and I mean nothing at all that makes me believe that unless someone else takes over the Muslim religion and takes the extremist to task then the obvious conclusion will occur. It will come to conclusion within the next 25 years and I predict it will be bloody.

Oh, by the way, I see nothing in the Torah or any versions of the New Testament that mentions Allah. If you are substituting it to mean both of those books are the same then you are very, very wrong.


Here is a reply to my comment. Anyone else want to wade in? Go for it.

Firstly, thanks for your reply..

I want to start with your claim that you hadn't seen anything mentioning Allah...
Allah is the name used for the only God in Quran like Yahova in the Pentateuch and God (i don't know the hebraic of this name) in New Testament. So there is no need for a confusion about the name of the only God. Besides there is something different in the Bible, the trinity... The Godness is divided into three arms in Christian belief after the modifications on the Bible (the original of it coludn't be kept as majority of the mankind know) : The Father, The Son (Christ), The Holy spirit... Allah (the only God) curses the priests which showed the prophet Christ as the son of Allah:

"Certainly they disbelieve who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help"(72/5)

"They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords beside Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One God. there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)." (31/9)

As a result:
Of course the Holy Quran, the original of the Pentateuch and the Bible comes from the same origin:
the Creator of all beings, Allah (the only God)

If we come to the other point that you didn't see anything that would make you to belive in Quran...
I think that's because of your inadequate readings or redaings without thinking... Because in Quran Allah over and over says: "Will not you then think? Will not you then understand?" after showing evidences for His existence...

About this topic I want to reccommend the following web page which clearly shows how Quran is a miracle from Allah in its words from 1400 years before: http://www.quranmiracles.com/
