If the dating turns out to be correct this is the copy that the Church should adopt although it is highly unlikely it would be accepted. This copy should be the accepted one since it would be the only known copy of the Bible which was in the actual language of Jesus (aramaic) but since it has so many contradictions it may undermine the Church's legitimacy so we expect that no matter what this Bible will be discredited. A secret Bible in which Jesus is believed ...
This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

John Esposito sees Muhammad as a reformer who condemned practices of the pagan Arabs such as female infanticide, exploitat...
There are two answers to this two part question and the answers really come down to a factual basis and also separating actions from the teachings of any religion including Islam.

To find the answer you need to look into the larger picture and have an understanding...

In just one verse/ayyat the Qur'an teaches us how to conduct ourselves which in my interpretation is the following To spend in charity and to help others (zakkat) as much as you can even during times of hardship. To make peace in life and with others and to handle issues with grace, fairness and calmness (without anger) and to forgive and pardon as much as possible. To ask for forgiveness from Allah and make amends if you have done something wron...

Which leader are you talking about and why is he denouncing North Americans? Regardless of what he said, should all Iraqis be portrayed this way even if they don't agree with this one leader's views?

Our response:I'd like to reply first of all by saying you cannot take random verses out of the Qu'ran and come to a conclusion. You have also just picked keywords and phrases out of the verses, some of which end by stating violence can only be used against those who fight you, and not those who offer you peace.We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate...

This type of reporting is causing all sorts of trouble in the Muslim communities. They never say Christian KKK...
Of Culture and Religion By Areeb Yasir Vancouver The biggest challenge I faced when entering the Muslim religion, by my own accord; was the different cultures involved in the community. It would seem that Islam plays a back seat role to culture. In particular this is the most obvious in the Pakistani and Fijian communities. When I asked a question from one of the brothers pertaining to family life (in regards to if leaving them for 40 or more days for the sake of Jam...
I went through an interesting experience on a forum that I enjoy reading through about my favorite car. This is the same day I read that Islamophobia is on the rise in America.
