Empiree:Islam, unlike the US, is not a country or a race but a belief system, a religion. The shahada you gave was given on the premise that you have believed in the oneness of God and the prophethood of Mohammed, a believe which is quite subjective. A Christian or a Jew, sharing the same country with a Muslim will never say the shahada. No any Muslim country I know make the taking of the shahada a prerequisite for granting citizenship to foreigners. It is like asking a prospective US citizen to say 'the lord's prayer' before he becomes a US citizen. You always make a wrong moral equivalence bro! You said the shahada is a prerequisite for enjoying peace and harmony with Muslims; I think we are in agreement here. It means if I don't say the shahada in a Muslim-majority country or community, I won't enjoy peace and harmony. You just echoed my point and validated sahih Muslim hadith number 33. Please note that the American constitution, unlike the sharia, is not discriminatory; it does not divide the citizens between the kafir and the ummah. The same rule apply to all because the US constitution takes all citizens as equal; no dhimmi, no ummah. The US system is over 1000% better than allahh's sharia system. You made mention of zakat, please note that zakat is for only the Muslim ummah. The Christians and the Jews are to pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued, under an ideal Islamic system (Quran 9:29, also read the exegesis of this ayah in the tafsir by ibn kathir) 2 Likes |

true2god:bro, you started it and i played you along. I have given you bilateral examples. Take it or leave it.. Islam doesn't force you as a non Muslim to take shahada before you enjoy everything Muslims enjoy. Your are the one that brought issue of shahada as precondition for peace and enyoment. I will continue to play along with your head. |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by true2god: 11:41am On Sep 09, 2018 |
Empiree:Don't put words into mouth; I can't reminder telling you that shahada is a prerequisite for peace and harmony, you said so. Do you now repudiate the fact that saying the shahada is the condition for peace to reign between the Muslims and the kafirs? Do you know Islam better than your prophet and his sahabas? |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by Empiree: 3:01pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
true2god:Look, you quoted Hadith and you want me to explain to you. Even though I knew before hand that you were not interested in my explanation, this was the reason I drew parallel example from contemporary world system of govt. But instead you came up with their system is not about religion. But you forgot that they separated religion from State but they maintained their religious status which means they are still influenced by their Christian religion one way or the other. I simply used similarity btw their system and Islamic system. I sensed you would reject my analysis was the reason I said that the hadith you cited was in the context of military classification not a general rule. Please go back and re-read if you missed it. The Hadith in that context is mostly referring to Quraishi people who were fighting the prophet (saw) and the Muslims. I explained this to username before. Here I found this short video to buttress my position. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Coo6Po_7STk&t=323s But if you insist that the Hadith is present continuous tense, then, the Hadith is perfectly in harmony with this Bible verse. They have the exact same undertones Jesus said in Luke 19:27 "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me." Just has the Hadith you quoted is literal, this Bible verse is literal. There is nothing metaphorical about it at all. It is direct because you believe that Jesus is coming back to take the believers (Christians) to heaven, and fight and kill non-believers (Muslims). But if you reject this explaination, I will ask you if Luke 19:27 is past tense, present tense or future tense? What is Jesus coming back to do?. Is he going to love his enemies and take them too to paradise or fight and kill them for not believing in him as Son of God according to your belief?. 1 Like |

Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by plainbibletruth: 5:50pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
Empiree: It's EITHER that you're being outrightly deceitful OR you simply need basic tutorials in English language. That portion of Luke 19 started from verse 11. There it is stated CLEARLY that Jesus was speaking in parable. "... he (JESUS ) went on to tell them a parable. ..." What is literal here? If can't simply explain your koran or hadith to enquirers doesn't that show you guys that you have a problem? You danced round the shahada and now this. In the shahada Moslems have turned Mohamed into an associate or partner with Allah. This violates several portions of the koran. The koran asks Moslems to invoke NO ONE along with Allah. The koran tells us that there were other prophets and messengers of Allah. Why this special identification of ONLY Mohamed with Allah all the time? Islam is really the religion of submitting to Allah AND Mohamed and majority of Moslems are actually Mohamedans, i.e. those who worship Mohamed, whether they admit it or not. So can it be said that Islam, as it is today, is strictly a monotheistic religion? |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by Empiree: 6:11pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
plainbibletruth:Am i surprised?. Every verse that you guys are not comfortable with is always "parable". I wonder why "son of God" is not parable?. Why Jesus is not parable?. Hell and Heaven, i wonder why they arent parables?. Every good word and good things are literal except when it is nasty and violent by nature, it becomes "parable". You are fantastic. So why not apply this same parable to the hadith quoted by your brother?. Why are you being deceitful?. You danced round the shahada and now this.Dont even go there...You are having billions of problems in your bible that you failed to convince me and you wanna talk abnout Quran?. What do you understand about "partner with Allah"?. In Islamic terminology it is called 'shirk'. So how is mentioning muhammad's name next to Allah constitute "partner" with Allah?. Let's go to Quran and let me quote at least 3 verses where Allah mentioned His name and Muhammad simultaneously "O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger..." 4:59 "Say: If your fathers, and your sons, and your brethren, and your wives, and your tribe, and the wealth ye have acquired, and merchandise for which ye fear that there will no sale, and dwellings ye desire are dearer to you than Allah and His messenger..." Q9:24 "You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger,.." Q58:22 See these verses of Quran, God mentioned His Name with His messanger (Muhammad). So this is setting up partner with God?. You definitely don't know what you are saying. |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by plainbibletruth: 6:50pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
Empiree:You like analogies. Now, if a writer tells you he is writing a 'fiction' would you be right in arguing that you want to see the material as a 'non-fiction'? If the Bible says something is a 'parable' why would you want to insist that you want to see it as literal? Show us where a parable has been CLEARLY stated as being a parable in the koran and we have taken it as literal;then we would admit we were wrong but wanting to compare different issues and claim that they are on the same level just doesn't make for honest scholarship. Empiree: So, do you agree that your ALLEGIANCE as a moslem is BOTH to Allah and Mohamed? 2 Likes |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by Empiree: 7:15pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
plainbibletruth:So in short, the entire Bible is parable, right?. If your answer is 'yes', then Jesus in the bible doesnt exist. He's just a fiction. Satan is fiction. Dream and vision are fictions. All prophets mentioned in your bible are fictional characters. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were all fictional characters who wrote fairy tales. Therefore Bible is fictional book and it is not real. All the so called prophecies are mere fiction. You are very ridiculous. I can see why many christians turned atheists and called bible fictional Book. Henceforth, I will not take you serious anymore and everything you have been saying in this thread, including God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit bcus they are all fictions. His so called crucifixion and resurrection are fictions too. The Bible is not real. So why are you wasting ,my time since? So, do you agree that your ALLEGIANCE as a moslem is BOTH to Allah and Mohamed?Yes, allegiance of muslims to God and His messanger is affirmation of faith. Worship is when you claim Jesus is God which muslims dont do with Muhammad(p). Your attempt to try to corrupt Shahada in your head is very very idiotic 1 Like |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by plainbibletruth: 7:53pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
Empiree:No! My answer is 'No!' The Bible is not all parables. It is clear where it is in parable and clear where it is not. So,my answer to your question is not 'yes'. Now, where does that leave the rest of your post? Empiree:Thank you for admitting that your devotion is not ONLY to one being BUT two. |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by Empiree: 8:10pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
plainbibletruth:So when Jesus return in the Endtime, he is coming to take up his "ayanfe" i:e his loving believers and then fight and kills disobedient disbelievers(muslims)?. This is literal or parable?. Just to clarify, since you believe muslims don't believe in Jesus as Lord and savior and son of God, that means muslims are non-believers. So what is Jesus gonna do to us when he returns?. To fight and kills us right?. Is that parable or literal?. I ask bcus many christians have said for many yrs that armageddon will come and swept away disbelievers. Is this literal or parable?. If Jesus will cause this great war and affliction to us, we will consider that act of violence against innocent muslim men, women and children. Is this fiction or real? Thank you for admitting that your devotion is not ONLY to one being BUT two.I rather ignore you on islamic topic bcus we can dwell on this till eternal. And i dont really blame you bcus you cant differentiate btw God and Jesus. How you can't differentiate btw believe in Allah and His messanger and worship shows your low IQ How is ALLEGIANCE suddenly means devoted worship is beyond me. By definition of allegiance it means loyalty or commitment. And his companion pledge allegiance to him. Does that mean they worshipped him?. 1 Like |

Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by plainbibletruth: 11:14pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
Empiree:Empiree, don't get ahead of yourself. Let's put things in perspective. You quoted a single verse in the Bible, and attempted to give it your label without reference to its context. Nothing in that verse says that Christians today are to take up arms against non-Christians. The same cannot be said about the koranic verses advocating violence against non-Moslems. Empiree:The statement "Action speaks louder than words" must be familiar to you. Even a low IQ person can see actions that 'say' things that are opposite of what words claim. A lie told often enough becomes seen as the truth. |
Re: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by Empiree: 11:32pm On Sep 09, 2018 |
plainbibletruth:Thank God for speaking the truth indirectly. You are saying that Christians of yesterday committed violence and aggression against non-christians. Thanks again. To proceed, Bible today is no longer speaking to average Christians to carry out violence. Your leadership are doing that for you. They wear suit today and destroy Muslim countries.

Samunique:Thanks bro! My post is to stimulate Muslims to think about their religion. It is not about 'Empire' but other Muslims that mind have an open mind to alternative view, contrary to the traditional Islamic narrative. Many Muslims I debated have no feet to stand on their religion and some have left Islam. Empire is only acting 'Superman' and refused to abandon the traditional Islamic narrative. Whenever he is faced with indisputable fact, he got confused and at the same time become more unyielding. It is all about his personal ego and the protection of Islam and Mohammed.

DID MOHAMED REFLECT ALLAH'S "MERCY" AND "GRACIOUSNESS" ? (7) If a man claims to be one thing but his actions REPEATEDLY show him to be the opposite, can that man's words be taken at their face value or the man regarded as genuine? That is the decision each person has to make in the light of all these revelations about the life of Mohamed. “Abu Afak was one of B. Amr b. Auf of the B. Ubayda clan. He showed his disaffection when the apostle killed al-Harith b. Suwayd b. Samit… The apostle said, ‘Who will deal with this rascal for me?’ whereupon Salim b. Umayr, brother of B. Amr b. Auf one of the ‘weepers’, went forth and killed him…When Abu Afak had been killed she (Asma b. Marwan) displayed disaffection… When the apostle heard what she had said he said, ‘Who will rid me of Marwan’s daughter?’ ‘Umayr b. Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard him, and that very night he went to her house and killed her. In the morning he came to the apostle and told him what he had done and he said, ‘You have helped God and His apostle, O ‘Umayr!’ When he asked if he would have to bear any evil consequences the apostle said, ‘Two goats won’t butt their heads about her,’ so Umayr went back to his people.” (Pages 675-676) Here are yet two more innocent people who were ordered to be killed by Mohamed. What was their crime? They wrote poetry against him. Yes, that’s right. They dared to write poetry against him! Any wonder then about the reactions of Moslems when cartoonists who draw Mohamed are threatened with death. Clearly, do these actions portray mercy or graciousness? Did Mohamed who is said to be "the mercy to all mankind" exhibit mercy in all these instances? Why is it that Allah, said to be the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, never prevailed on his prophet to exercise restraints and show mercy? |
