No, I think the native language is most important because it can help "you" to understand better... the other is only a translation.

Not it can't help you to understand better.  Understanding is just about defined as the ability to explain something well.  This means that the translated text is responsible for doing a good or a bad job. 

If the translations are bad, then someone should improve them.  Relapsing into saying you have to read the Koran in arabic to really get it is just an excuse.

No different than the way Catholics used to do masses in Latin. 

Keep the secrets from the masses.

Keep the power.

Sunnis are a branch of Islam that really isn't Islam at all. They simply hold to the name of Islam, recognize Muhammad, and follow a few of the Islamic rules loosely. The Sunni religion is about as free as they come. The do and worship whatever they think is spiritual.

True Islam is found in the Muslims who terrorize. That's why they do it. They are being religiously true to Islam. They are the pure Islamites. All this talk about Islam being a peaceful religion is only being done by people ignorant of Islam (even though they might be Muslims), or by liars. In a few cases Islam peace is being talked about by wishful thinkers.

The funny thing here is if a "muslim" would be peaceful, will you think the contrary or not? I hope you understand what I wanted to say.


Of course there are peaceful Muslims. It is simply that they are not very much Muslim. They are quite ignorant of the religion that they claim to be part of. If they are strong Muslims according to the true Islam, then they are not peaceful to non-Muslims (except when they are lying to the non-Muslims), while they are peaceful to other Muslims.

It is like Christians who say they are Christians and ARE Christians. But they don't go to church except on Christmas and Easter. They almost NEVER read any of the Bible. And they hang out at the bars and nightclubs and whore houses, and curse and drink and swear. But they are still Christians.

Real Christians would never do any of these wrong things.

I told you guys. BADecker always does this. He knows nothing, nothing about Islam. He just want to post big passages of lies to spread hatred and then conclude, "come to Christianity, the ultimate religion". I have no problem with Christians and BADecker is free to spread the religion he believe but he is contradicting his belief because Bible says not to lie and spread hatred/violence while spreading it. I am saying again, feel free to spread Christianity but don't tell lies.

There are peaceful muslims as well and it's not possible that all those who believe in Islam are terrorists or ISIS leaders/members. The issue here is that there are some who interpret the holy book of Islam as one that spreads violence and hate and hence they believe that the religion teaches others to hate. They don't understand that they are actually supporting the words of these evil people (terrorists/ISIS) who spread the wrong message. They are the ones who are responsible for this hatred towards Islam and people just blindly believe them.

People earlier used to believe that Muslims should only marry within their caste and they used to kill others who used to marry hindus and other castes. Now that's not the case and there are so many inter caste marriages which proves that there is a change in the thoughts of many Muslims.

It's wrong if people start cursing the people who are Muslims just because of these terror attacks.

you and other muslim haters totally do not understand the meaning of the verse. unless it be means, that is.. remember the Quraan is in Arabic. like you i was perplexed with this quote. so i called a friend, he speaks arabic fluently. i asked him about this, he said in arabic it means that is, but in english there is mistranslation

It doesn't really matter, it's a big book, people will find whatever they need and interpret the way they want t justify their agenda, it's just another big book of multiple choice.

The muslims who do not like people attaching them with ISIS should just scrap their religion. Islam is hated everywhere i have been to. The damage has been done, either accept whatever Islam says[dont nitpick] or leave your religion

We accept what Islam says but it doesn't say to kill innocents like ISIS does.
I do wonder, Zakir, what would you do if the hard liners like ISIS moved into your area, and told you you had New Instructions regarding how to read the Koran and how to present it to people on the Internet.

Would you do what they said?

Of course if you did not the consequences would be severe.

Just a hypothetical question.

Np. A good question, I must say.

1. I have read Qur'an and most hadiths. I am not a "scholar" but I know about my religion pretty well. In my region, we both Muslims ans nob-Muslims are living peacefully. Even my religious teachers don't tell to tease or hurt others.

2. It will be hard for ISIS members to persist hereTM.

3. Even if they try to spread it, I won't accept it as I know the rules and teachings. In my nearest mosques, Imam always warn people about wrong faith like this. So I am pretty sure others won't too.

I don't mean to barge in but I couldn't help notice that you haven't really addressed the crux of the scenario. I'm sure you realize that a LOT of people, if not most, do not join these extremist groups by choice. Would you still be able to uphold your faith as a true Muslim if they break into your home with guns and threaten violence against your loved ones?

A logical question. +10.

Well, I don't know. It depends on how worse the situation is. I probably will go with them but won't kill anybody even if they torture me. Besides, there is an allowance for Muslims that if they fear they will die by following Islam, they can act as a non-Muslim. However, like I said, I can't tell exactly what I will do at that situation. Now, my mind is calm and not disturbed, I can think and imagine many things and possible solutions for that situation. But when I am in that situation, my mind will be very disturbed and I won't be able to think or create/find a solution easily.

tld;dr - It's hard to tell what I will do.

I agree with your opinion. How can a person denied to be an extremist if he or his family was threatened by them. I don't mean a muslim couldn't uphold his faith. I think this is a police or military task to protect the society and help them against the extremist.

You are wrong! They ain't extremists but in fact n00bs.

Islam at its core, in its writings, is a religion of deception and violence. Deception because it speaks peace at the same time it speaks violence.

Islam in the vast majority of Muslims (who mostly are ignorant about what Islam's writings say) is a religion of peace.

Smiley

You clearly don't know what you are talking. You are certainly speaking for internet sources rather than reading Qur'an and Hadiths fully.

Islam is about peace but some of the verses in Qur'an is about violence when non-Muslims tortured and killed Muslims. They had no other choices other than to fight if they want to live.

Oh so you mean none of the 109 or so verses don't count.

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/023-violence.htm

No. I mean the correct meaning and what it is meant to be is not what most internet source gives and that site spreads disinformation. Even in the page you gave, there are lot of disinformation.

I remember that one time my teacher said << if we go past in the 1930 or 1950 we will see another Bible version, with more "things", words and concept. >> That makes me to thing "oh wait , there is something wrong here" and someone has removed some parts... and he completed with << I think the Quran is not modified, and if you 'catch' an old version of 100-200 years we will find the same words (except the "layout" and "graphic). >>

This is why my religion teacher said in one of his numerous lessons, ad from that time I started to think and think... and it is not so simple. I do not think it is a question of religion, the unique and important thing must be the respect " if I do not respect you, then I am worth< 0" and also the contrary.

The important thing in religion is salvation.

Translations of the Bible into other languages are just that - translations. There are revisions of translations because the language changes, thereby making a revision necessary to match the current form of the language. The Bible does not change.

Smiley

But what is the 'native' language of the Bible? I have never find an exhaustive answer to this question. You are right, but sometimes in the translation it is lost the 'sense'.

Old Testament is Ancient Hebrew. New Testament is, basically Greek, with a little Aramaic.

Smiley

Thanks, now I should find someone that knows "ancient hebrew"  and especially find and "Old Testament" not modified,but I think it is hard... for the Quran , I have some friends that know the arab language maybe in the next days I can understand much more from those verses (is this the name? verse?).



...

Lies in that website?  Probably are a few somewhere, or at the least, misunderstandings.  Just like there are lies or misunderstandings on this thread about Islam by the faithful of Islam. 

But let's look at the joyous peace of the last couple of days, as reported by www.thereligionofpeace.com.

2015.05.14 (Kojiti, Nigeria) - Boko Haram open fire on families preparing for bed, killing seven members.
2015.05.14 (Benghazi, Libya) - Seven children are among eight killed when the Islamic State fires a rocket into an apartment building.
2015.05.14 (Palmyra, Syria) - Twenty-six villagers are butchered by the Islamic State, including ten beheaded.
2015.05.14 (Kabul, Afghanistan) - Nine foreigners are among fourteen people massacred when the Taliban storm a guesthouse.
2015.05.14 (Mbau, DRC) - Twenty-three more villagers are hacked to death with machetes and hatchets by ADF Islamists.
2015.05.12 (Bankalaparha, Bangladesh) - Four fundamentalists hack a secular blogger to death with knives on charges of being an atheist.

I appreciate that they nicely handle the "Big Lie", that Islam is "a religion of peace."

I knew you would post this after I make that post. Like I said, they aren't instructed by Islam, they are doing it for their own political gains and can be seen easily but I don't think you can as you always have biased opinions and already setup your mind.
In a theocracy run by the Big Cleric, there is no difference between politics and religion.

Duhh....


Exactly, but say (in general) that Islam is a religion of Violence is a little bit exaggerated (remember the strawman fallacy ).
