What is the evidence that the 1 year rule of the MB or the hypocrisy of TV preachers caused atheism?
What poll produced the 2 million number and what was the methodology used?
Mona, where is your proof that inheritance law revealed in the Quraan is time-specific? by what authority can one supercede divine revelation about the permissiblily of taking prisoners of war and their families as slaves? Please name an Islaamic scholar who has said otherwise.
Farang, you mention Professor Cole's comment about fundamentalist or literalist view of Islaam. how else can one understand Chapter Nisaa', verse 11 and 12? Is the command to give female children half of what the male chidren get not to be taken literally? what is the alternative understanding of these words?
And by what authority can humans decide that divine revelation has a shelf life? To be a Muslim means accepting the Quraan and the way of the Prophet Muhammad as the final divine revelation until the day of resurrection and judgement.
I understand that non-Muslims do not accept these premises but to expect Muslims to disbelieve them is to ask them to leave Islaam. This basis misunderstanding by Professor Cole was the reason for my original post.
thank you for your thoughtful and polite comment. I am very impressed by the lack of "flaming" in this thread.
let's take the easy one - equal inheritance. anyone who denies the inheritance law set out in the qur'aan has left the Islaamic faith. sons are to receive twice the amount that the daughters receive. your lack of understanding of Islaam is embarrassing.
