Nozzi, you wrote,
>>You anyhow interpret the Quran and cause many verses to have contradiction in meaning and you blame me to abuse Bukhari to suit Quran. Indeed, I use the correct meaning in Quran to interpet Bukhar and that should be acceptable.<<
You are giving me more powers than Allah has granted. How can I cause the verses of Allah to have contradictory meaning. Has Allah not claimed that His words are protected for eternity?: 18:27 And recite that which hath been revealed unto you of the scripture of your Lord. There is none who can change His words, and you will find no refuge beside Him.
>>Quran mentions that Allah is the most merciful but you interpet Allah as cruel to like to slaughter non-muslims.<<
In my posts I 'mention' that I do not, as you claim, abuse the Koran. Does my claim make it true? This is what you are claiming by saying that because the Koran mentions it is merciful it is. How naïve your belief has made you!
I have given you verses from Allah Himself that show Him to be a vindictive, abusive and cruel character. I quote again three verses that prove what I have said:
VINDICTIVE: 003.055 YUSUFALI: "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
What is so terrible about rejecting faith that calls for horrible agony to be inflicted on us? I can quote many more verses that show this vindictive nature of Allah.
CRUEL: 007.004 YUSUFALI: How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest.
Allah gleefully destroys whole towns for the sins of a few. Such destruction of towns would mean even sleeping babies in the arms of their mothers would have been cruelly struck down. Did the babies deserve to die? There are many more such verses where Allah destroys whole towns without caring whether innocents would have perished along with the sinners.
ABUSIVE: 009.095 YUSUFALI: They will swear to you by Allah, when ye return to them, that ye may leave them alone. So leave them alone: For they are an abomination, and Hell is their dwelling-place,-a fitting recompense for the (evil) that they did
Allah calls some Arabs an abomination for rejecting faith. Allah is so powerless that He is reduced to abusing the so-called unbelievers.
>>Quran mentions to preach only for muslims and yet you say, go and fight.
Quran states to do righteous deeds and you call muslims to do evil deeds by killing, fighting and etc.<<
Nozzi, did I invent this verse?: 009.005 YUSUFALI: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Since Allah has revealed this verse do you not think it is a righteous deed to kill pagans when the forbidden months are past?
>>All these show that you have abused theQuran for your own purpose.<<
It is only your claim that I have abused the Koran. But I have shown you above that the Koran abuses me (an unbeliever) and wants to inflict horrible agony for mere disbelief. Do I not have the right to abuse someone who abused me before I was even born?
