moseeds Posted 7 August 2006 Posted 7 August 2006 Sorry Thracian didn't see this thread till now. I just wondered what Moseeds and Ultra thought of this - quite apart from the forum in general. ... Everything about the Muslim philosophy seems to be about conceding nothing... Pretty much true. As Muslims we believe what we believe is correct. Therefore we have to defend what we have. Note I said defend. If the Afghanistani government kicked out the Koreans because they came to convert that's their perogative. If they came to live and settle as their own community that is another matter and no one should have qualms with that. ...but making inroads wherever possible. Am I wrong?. Again, as per above I said defend. If you mean inroads in terms of war then you are wrong. If a nation allows missionaries then fair enough. If they don't then again its up to them. This relates to both Muslims and non-Muslim missionaries. If you are talking about inroads by settling or colonising then that is a different matter. If the religion is so strong and worthy, why does it take away so many freedoms from people and, in particular, their freedom of choice? Because it is the truth as far as Islams adherents are concerned. If you mean freedom with regards to apostacy, like I said initially, there are conflicting views with regards to the law. In times when there was war, apostacy amongst the people would be treated like how we treat treason in many countries - death. However many scholars disagree with this ruling in peace time because in the Quran it mentions "there is no compulsion in religion". Therefore there is much debate. What the correct ruling is I do not know. Regarding reading the Quran for yourself there's a site here: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/ scroll down a bit. Hope that helps.
