Good article, I am not a Muslim or a Christian, and I have frequently had the exact same discussion with Christians. The Old Testament was one of the most ruthless books ever written.

In reply to stephanie. Well.. it is all about protecting the woman's rights. The Muslim man can marry a non muslim woman because he knows her rights according as he is obligated to feed, clothe, and shelter her and provide for her, but if a muslim woman gets married to a non muslim man, she might be forced to have a job and splitting bills and overwhelmed with being a mom and all. Don't get me wrong, the muslim woman may work but not obligated because she will be oppressed by doing 2 full time jobs (being a mon and working full time hours).

I was really sad to read this. Do not compare yourself to the Christian man or make ill of Christians, where you talk ill also of Jesus, who is also believed as a prophet in Islam. People like you make me very disappointed in a lot of Muslims. You allow cultural aspects to invade your religious beliefs. Instead, look at yourself and have some morals. Do not compare the Bible to the Quran and state how it is better as it does not say to be merciless. Instead look at society, and culture, and the way they affect religion to make it what it is today. Do not compare yourselves to other religions and talk about how you are better. Instead have some compassion and look at yourself instead of others, analysing both sides of the story. In the odd chance you see this, I hope it will make a difference to you.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, but I just have one question.

I am a Christian myself and one of my friends was a Muslim and converted to Christianity a while ago. However, at the baptism he asked for people to not record his face or his voice as he was afraid that his family would get harmed if people from his country (I am not quite sure where he was from as he did not tell me).

So this post was about how Islam does not force itself on others, but why is the situation I described so common? I also have other friends whose friends too converted from Islam to Christianity and they are also afraid of what will happen to their families if their new faith is not kept a secret.

These thoughts have been bugging me for a while, but I really am trying to learn more about a variety of religions to become more open minded 🙂

God bless.

I think that anyone who is passionate about their beliefs can come across as forceful. And as is any other religion, there are going to be people who are extreme in their actions. Prime example is Christianity, look at all the violence done in the name of God. The name used as a power tool to subdue anothers freedom, beliefs, civil liberties, ect. I think when we can stop looking at the diffrences, and start treating everyone as humans, we will stop the madness. We need to stop looking at each other as White, Black, Brown, Tan. We need to love, learn, teach, accept, compromise, show compassion, and help each other heal. I try to live my life by doing more good, than bad. If my fellow man needs something I offer without hesitation, doubt, or judgement. if we dont help each other, who else will? one day this idea can be realized and i hope im alive when it is..

Its sad how because of some people the image of Islam is tarnised. Honestly a lot has to be done. Am not muslim but i have Muslim friends whom i look upto. Saddens me when i hear killings in relation to conversion. Allah have mercy on all whose acts go contrary to the teachings of his holy prophet Muhammed (SAW)

Thank you so much!
I just want to that…there are some non muslims who’ve created a blog using the name of Islam and falsifying Qur’anic verses giving out quotations after quotations from Qur’an without been just and honest.

If you ever have a doubt concerning anything about Islam you just read on a particular website or a blog…don’t hesitate to make further research and the more research you make the better your understanding of the Islamic religion because this is a religion that is bigger than our mind and the entire universe….salam

In reply to talia.

You clearly didn’t read the post correctly. The author mentioned exactly that, people take the verses out of context in both the Quran & the Bible.

The thing he is point out is the hypocrisy of some Christians or people of other faith, who apply no context in the Quranic verses but do in the Bible for example.

In fairness and truth you should apply context in both circumstances for the Bible & the Quran..

In that respect I think what he stated is completely fair..
