Thatdave: uptill now no imam has denounced the northern blood shed as unislamic. giving references to the quran. on national news paper or television! the true muslims are afraid. those to wage the true jihad have no balls. 4uk islam.

With due respect , you are wrong.a great number of muslim leaders and imams have condemn the killings as Un-Islamic and these are regularly reported in the papers and media. Those who attend mosque services will attest that imams sermons in the last two years or so have made special concentration on admonishing the followers against the violence and killings and always quoting the Quran and Hadith to support their sermon. Please try to be objective and say only what you are sure of

plappville:

First i hope you know He was telling a parable, in this context, He 's talking in the voice of the landlord from the parable.
It sort of makes sense becos that was how people used to retain their power/land.
That's what a landlord might say. And also, I the parable at this point was referring to the time of judgment, when the Lord sees wht we've done with our lives.
At this time, those who didn't want God to rule would be cast out of his presence "aka, spiritual death".
So this statement was included in the parable, It was not actually an order to his disciples. If you say it was, then you denial you Kuran that says, Jesus was faultless/sinless.

How about this very recent riot in Mali? what do you have to say?
LOl... Parable ma nyash grin you for say paraga grin tongue maybe Jesus hanging is also parable infact everything in the bible is parable "kill them if they dont want me to be king over them"

Parable indeed *chuckle*

abibio2001: In 628 C.E. Prophet Muhammad (s) granted a Charter of Privileges to the monks of St. Catherine Monastery in Mt. Sinai. It consisted of several clauses covering all aspects of human rights including such topics as the protection of Christians, freedom of worship and movement, freedom to appoint their own judges and to own and maintain their property, exemption from military service, and the right to protection in war.

An English translation of that document is presented below.

This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.
Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them.
No compulsion is to be on them.
Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.
No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses.
Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight.
The Muslims are to fight for them.
If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.
No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).

this isn't new, after making all those promises his successors attacked constantinople, jerusalem, atioch, alexandria and all the early xtian cities and converted everyone to islam by force or increased tax, converted churches to mosque and molested d xtians, they captured so much xtian land till they reached spain and d pope knew rome was next, broken promises like d above is d reason y d pope called d crusades becos d muslims refused to let d xtians live in peace.
Re: Prophet Muhammad's Letter To The Monks Of St. Catherine Monastery by alexis(m): 4:50am On Jan 14, 2013
It's amazing how people go off topic and start a whole christian/muslim bashing. Let us stick to the topic at hand and in honesty make effort to learn without using curse words and profanities.

I don't know the authenticity of the document but for the sake of argument, if it was authentic - it's a claim that Muslims will use to prove that Islam is peaceful. That been said, the final authority on ALL matters of Islam is the Quran and the Hadith. That is where she should do our research from and draw on facts to determine the claims the Quran makes about peace. Most importantly, we should stick to the topic at hand and not wander off.

That been said, I read the entire post and boy was it LOOOONG smiley. I have a few points in response to some posters

1.
BetaThings
- Reading some of your responses, it appears you think America is a Christian State. I want you to know it is not, it is a secular state. So, when America invades another country i.e. Iraq for example, this is not a Christian nation invading a Muslim nation. There are thousands of Muslims in the US military serving in Iraq. On the other hand, there is not one Christian soldier in Saudi Arabia. So, just for the record, the US is not a Christian State, it's a secular one. That is why Muslims can build mosque here and worship in freedom, the reverse is not the same in Saudi Arabia.

2.
tintingz
- You are of the opinion that the God of the Bible and Allah of the Quran are the same. History doesn't agree with you on this. I don't think we need to argue this one. My proof is simple, if they were the same, Muslims will not deny the son-ship and deity of Jesus. On the flip side, Christians will be bowing down to Mecca 5 times a day or traveling to Mecca every year. However, that is not the case.

3.
snowboy12
- Judge a religion by its Holy scriptures and not the followers. Technically, you are in-correct. The prophet Mohammed is the perfect example of who every Muslim should want to be like. So, his life-style, attitude, character and actions are example that Muslims should emulate. The same with Christians, Jesus the Christ is the primary example of every Christian and they should listen, obey and want to be like him. I think it's that simple; wouldn't you agree?

I hope my two cents will add some sanity to the bashing. Let us be cordial and respectful.

one has to consider:

1. the date of the document

2. the period of islam it was purported to cover ie at what stage of the muslin expansion

3. what was the context in which it was written

4.more info on the monks of st katherine is needed.

The letter just like our national anthem, showed dat things were not okay, hence d advise from the prophet. Our national anthem talks abt peace, unity and progress. U only ask for these things where they don't exist. Those christians or non-hausa muslims who are gullible enof to belv d contents of d letter as it affects our northern brothers, shd go live in rigassan kabala west, kawo, ungwan sanusi etc, cos d prophet wrote a letter dat we all shd live in peace. Let's not deceive ourselves, islam and violence againts non-adherent are like identical twin.

adaybayor:


oh i need a proper definition of the jehovah

then who is jesus?

why do you xtians say jesus is lord?

why do you xtians respect jesus more than you respect jehovah?


i need good and clear answers!!!

in psalms 83:18. That people may know you whose name is Jehovah, you are the most high in all the universe. A number of other Bible translations give similar renderings. However,many translations leave out the name Jehovah replacing it with titles such as 'Lord' or 'Eternal'. He alone has always existed .psalms 90:2 says 'Even from time Indefinite to time indefinite (forever) you are God.

He want us to know his name and use it 'isaiah 42:8' I am Jehovah, this is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images.

Jesus on the other hand is the promised messiah, jehovah God inspired many Bible prophet to provide details about his birth, the ministry and death of Jesus. they are amazingly accurate and detailed. (isaiah 7:14 was fulfilled in Mat 1:18-25), (psalms 2:7 fulfilled in Matthew. 3:17) a few of the several prophecies.

Jesus never equated himself to Jehovah_ john 14:28 .....am going my way to the father, BECAUSE the father is greater than I am.

Why son of God- jehovah is called the father because he is the creator (isaiah 64:cool since Jesus was created by God, he is called God's son. For similar reasons, other spirit creatures, even the man Adam. Are called sons of God.- job1:6,luke3:38.
