Mrreed:
we are very different. i showed you biblical verse that supports killing you could not show me a single quranic verse to prove me wrong. islam condemn killing there are sevral prove of this in the quran. enlighten ursef nd stop following what pple say. learn and make research. the internet is dere for you.
i still stand on my point dat no VERSE in d QUR'AN supports unjust killing. if you feel otherwise provide a qurabic verse or keep shut. i will alwaz be proud of my religion
I assumed you are not pretending this is why I decided to reply you.
Here are a few "peaceful" quran verses commanding believers to kill.


Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...

Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."


Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."


Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"


Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land..."

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."


and here is the verse stating the punishment for those who refuse to engage in jihad:

Quran (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place."


Since you claimed to be ignorant of these verses, I don't expect you to try to defend them because
you said there were no such verses in the quran. Now that I have shown you the verses
are you still proud of your "infallible" book and its faith ?


And stop being fixated about the bible, I am not the author neither
do I believe that killing is ever justified so I don't see any reason why you are
trying to rope me into jewish history.
I will appreciate you stick to the topic, justify quran with the quran not any other
book!

Parents and the law are partly to blame for the increase in rape cases.
Parents should endeavour to train their kids instead of leaving their
training to friends and the street.
Also, police and judges should stop giving light sentences to rapists.
I hope the other criminals on the run are caught and sent to jail.
Islam › Re: Multiple Bombings Rock Saudi Arabia by neocortex: 12:28pm On Jul 06, 2016
Mrreed:
so you have knowledge of d Quran? i am not your typical debate mate. you have no idea about lots of things. you mentioned understanding quran in its context like you even know the quran literally. i can quote between 5-10 verses of the quran which condemn unjust killlings to prove you have no point. you said other verses support killings. can u just pick out a verse of d quran that supports killing.
your problem is that you have spent so much of your time listening to islamophobes view of the deen so much that you think you start believing in them. islam is a lifelong phenomenon which you cant fully grab even after 25 years of rigorous study.
let me teach you how to debate with facts and not just assumptions which you are used to.
"christianity is the foundation of religious intolerance and terrorism."
evidenced for this can be found in the bible. i wont just say evidence can be found i l quote them like this
Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers  31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
reply only if you can argue with fact. otherwise just keep quiet and learn
Since you are not aware of any verse in the quran that sanction killing,
I am afraid this discussion is over.
While some apologists lie with style , your own lie is direct.

But I am always amazed that a typical muslim apologists usually quotes
bible atrocities to justify quran's terror, it is an open secret that quran
was derived from the most barbaric laws of the old testament , so why stating
the obvious ?

I know you are ashamed of your faith and the the things it represent, hence
your futile attempts of denying reality but if this is not a case of wilful ignorance
I will advice you to get your hands on the quran and the sahih hadiths, you
will have enough "facts" to yourself.

eph12:
Kunle won't go looking for disagreement with someone bigger than him. It's foolishness on his part. If he does he should accept the consequences.
Most times we tend to make excuses for the females saying it's their nature. That's wrong. It shouldn't be your nature to talk carelessly. If she wasn't trained properly by her parents permit the bf or husband to train her. I am very sure that girl won't repeat this again.
If I were that guy I wouldn't hit her but I would do things that will pain her more than those slaps. Like going for her younger sister, cousin, niece or close friend.
The worst thing you can do to a man is to rubbish his ego in the public. He can kill for that.
Try reading before making comment.
Was it kunle or the girlfriend who looked for trouble ?
Is it in the nature of men to abuse women ?

Men who abuse women are psychologically unbalance and are only
trying to make out by beating the people that are weaker than them.

I repeat people like kunle would have even apologised had it been
it was a more stronger person he had a disagreement with.

A man that will kill for ego is no different from an animal,
any animal can bite, kick and attack based on impulse, it takes a human
to hold back.

As to your own response of going after her younger sister or friend if she were
to be your girlfriend, you can even go for her mom for all I care, since you have
no contract with her you can do as you like.

Sunymoore:
Those calling for castration or death sentence are unrepentant foools.. The law is not a litmus test, what if a person is falsely accused? And the law went and castrate him, then later find out that he's innocent? Jailing still remain the best option, if person is found not guilty in the future, he can easily be released and his record can be cleaned..
False accusation is a weak defense against castration or death sentence.
Do you think spending 30 years behind bars while watching
ones life waste away for an offence a fellow did not commit is justice ?
Mind you lost time can never be recovered, if the sole reason

I think we should scrap all courts and close down our prisons since an
innocent person may be wrongly convicted.

She insisted in sitting in the front seat while a guy is already sitted in the front seat before she was.
I was calm initially and pleaded with her to get on the back seat since they are alighting along the road while me and her proceeds home, she agreed but won't keep lamenting even after those guys left the car .
At a point I couldn't help it than to pull the car and ask to alight as she requested.
I was so embarrassed before my course mates that very day.

But I support your stand hundred percent. I keep saying for someone you claim to love, you must have to overlook their shortcomings. Because love covers a multitude of sins.

Bytheway, what was he trying to prove by slapping her in front of another girl (who to her babe is a possible contender)?

Let us always respect our loved ones always especially in public.
Don't let us pretend about it, some guys do worse to fellow guys
but the victim won't react because of the consequences.

You are wrong, not every man carries a violent trait and chauvinistic views.
You still don't get it, you have no business being with any girl if you feel deserve to be physically abused,
just let go, it is as simple as that.

Kunle could have dumped her right there on the road, but he is too mighty to do that, he needs
to show her how powerful he is by slapping her.

What do you think would have happened if the girl returned the slaps, kunle will probably beat her
to coma or leave a permanent injury on her body just for his vain ego.

Of what purpose is pretending you are in control when you are not ?

How should he pass his message? Or don't you feel the man ego was broken by her gutter words? Or are you a feminist who believe the woman is always right or you purposely feign ignorance of the truth cause a lady is involved or you just an unrepentant cynical being?

I'm waiting for a reply cause I really want to know how your thought process works.
What is the purpose of the slap ?
It is time we ditched violence as a means of "correcting" adults.
I bet you if kunle had similar disagreement with a man of equal or greater
strength , he wouldn't dare slap him.
But he chose to slap her since he is more powerful.

The irony of this case is that boyfriend will apologise and the girlfriend will
accept and they are back together because of "love".

Many men/women will see a glaring grave and still jumps into it. This is
why cases of marital abuse/ murder don't surprise me because people
don't just change overnight, the violent trait has always been there for
the partner to see.

A man that will slap his girlfriend twice in public will not hesitate to use
knife or gun at home if he feels justified to do so.

What stops him from discharging her from his car ?

first, madrasa literally means school. again you are writing wthout facts. which of the terror group openly declared that they are killing to spread religion? which religion are they spreading? do you spread a religion by bombing the practitioner of that sane religion? you are pointing accusations on saudi wthout evidence. i repeat, dere is no where in d Qur'an that it is spread that we should spread islam by killing. muslims are guided by two books; the Quran nd the ahadeeth of the prophet. none of this book supports unjust killing.
"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing."
(Quran 2:256
Sorry, I thought I was debating a knowledgeable person.

The first point you missed is that Islam isn't just a religion,
it is a also a tool of politics and power play, when you consider this
everything about the jihadist starts to make sense.

You went ahead to quote Quran 2:256 without context as if it is superior
to all other verses.
Is a killing justified because you feel so or the sunnah condones it ?
Are you more knowledgeable than the prophet and his companions ?

I won't engage in any back and forth just to convince you of what is
written in the quran.
Science/Technology › NASA Successfully Landed A Landmark Probe On Jupiter by neocortex(op): 1:16pm On Jul 05, 2016
The US space agency has successfully put a new probe in orbit around Jupiter.

The Juno satellite, which left Earth five years ago, had to fire a rocket engine to slow its approach to the planet and get caught by its gravity.
A sequence of tones transmitted from the spacecraft confirmed the braking manoeuvre had gone as planned.
Receipt of the radio messages prompted wild cheering at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"All stations on Juno co-ord, we have the tone for burn cut-off on Delta B," Juno Mission Control had announced. "Roger Juno, welcome to Jupiter."

Scientists plan to use the spacecraft to sense the planet's deep interior. They think the structure and the chemistry of its insides hold clues to how this giant world formed some four-and-a-half-billion years ago.

Artist's impression: Juno will fly more than 30 times around Jupiter in the course of its mission
Engineers had warned in advance that the engine firing was fraught with danger.

No previous spacecraft has dared pass so close to Jupiter; its intense radiation belts can destroy unprotected electronics.
One calculation even suggested the orbit insertion would have subjected Juno to a dose equivalent to a million dental X-rays.
But the probe is built like a tank with titanium shielding, and the 35-minute rocket burn appeared to go off without a hitch.
"Nasa did it again," said an elated Scott Bolton, Juno's principal investigator. "That says it all to me. And I'm so happy to be part of the team that did that. I mean this team has worked so hard and we have such great people. And it's almost like a dream coming true right here."
'Menagerie of possibilities'

While the radiation dangers have not gone away, the probe should now be able to prepare its instruments to start sensing what lies beneath Jupiter's opaque clouds.
Tuesday's orbit insertion has put Juno in a large ellipse around the planet that takes just over 53 days to complete.

A second burn of the rocket engine in mid-October will tighten this orbit to just 14 days. It is then that the science can really start.
This will involve repeat passes just a few thousand kilometres above the cloudtops.

At each close approach, Juno will use its eight remote sensing instruments - plus its camera - to peer down through the gas planet's many layers, to measure their composition, temperature, motion and other properties.


A priority will be to determine the abundance of oxygen at Jupiter. This will be bound up in its water.
"How much water Jupiter has tells us a lot about where the planet formed early in the Solar System," explained team-member Candy Hansen.
"We think that Jupiter may not have formed where it is today, and if it formed further away or closer in - that tells us a lot about how the Solar System in general formed. Because when we look at planets around other stars we see quite a menagerie of possibilities."

Jupiter Facts
Jupiter is 11 times wider than Earth and 300 times more massive
It takes 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun; a 'day' is 10 hours long
In composition it resembles a star; it's mostly hydrogen and helium
Under pressure, the hydrogen becomes an electrically conducting fluid
This 'metallic hydrogen' is likely the source of the magnetic field
Most of the visible cloudtops contain ammonia and hydrogen sulphide
Jupiter's 'stripes' are created by strong east-west winds
The Great Red Spot is a giant storm vortex twice as wide as Earth


The probe will also try to settle old arguments over whether the planet hosts a solid core or whether its gases go all the way down to the centre in an ever more compressed state.
And it will look for the deep swirling sea of liquid metallic hydrogen that theory suggests is the driver behind Jupiter's immense magnetic field and its spectacular auroras.

Scott Bolton said he wanted particularly to understand more about the Great Red Spot - a long-lived, giant storm.
"I love that Great Red Spot. We see it evolving, and it's been getting smaller ever since I first got amazed by it, which was when I was a child," he told reporters.

"The fact that it's lasted so long - there are records of it going back hundreds of years - means that it must have fairly deep roots.
"It looks a little like a hurricane on the Earth but we know it can't be working exactly like that because hurricanes on the Earth need an ocean underneath and feed off the liquid and then change when they go on land. At Jupiter, it's all gas."

Nasa plans to run Juno through to February 2018, assuming any radiation damage has not made it inoperable by then. The performance of the camera, for example, is expected to degrade rapidly within a few months.

In line with the practice on many previous planetary missions, the probe will be commanded to end its days by ditching into the atmosphere of Jupiter.
This ensures there is no possibility of Juno crashing into and contaminating the gas giant's large moons, at least one of which, Europa, is considered to have the potential to host microbial life.

you and i know you dont have evidence for your comment. instead of saying what you dont know why not just keep quiet and avoid being a source of misguidance.
THERE IS NO MUSLIM that will encourage or establish terrorism. anyone who encourages terrorism is not a muslim simply because the basic tenet of islam frowns at unjust killings. evidence for this are found in several chapters of the Quran
Who is a Muslim ?

From Syria to Iraq to Afghanistan, the graduates of Saudi-funded madrassas are wrecking
havoc on peoples lives and properties.
It is an open secret but you may choose to ignore it for religious and egoistical reasons.

In islam it is believed that intentions are superior to deeds so the idea of "unjust killings"
in relation to conflicts and war does not hold water as it could be justified as being done
for the greater good(the spread of Islam).

l think this should call for a debate on this topic " who are the causes of sexual harassment in the society? Well, the OP made a point but then , in an intelligent aspect of it, non of those points are valid /necessary. Any wise person can handle sex advances from an opposite sex without causing a rift in between ie you can decline sexual demand while you maintain a good relationship worthy of keeping with the very person. And for the whole truth as ladies , stop accepting unexpected gift from those you think that will demand sexual gratification. It's a common principle that should be penned down always.
This is totally false and you know it. Whenever the balance of power is tilted against the victim,
it is either he/she gives in or give way. What many people consider as "wisdom" in this case is
actually a ticking time bomb. Persistent perverts will have their way or get you out of the way.
So the idea of "not causing rift" happens only in ideal situation.
