Good bye statement to Sue

Submitted by Allonehhob (Canada), Oct 3, 2005 at 00:15

You don't have to answer this Sue, I see how upset you are. I am sorry if I offended you or any Muslim on this site. I believe that I was only answering your questions

I am happy for you Sue, you and all Muslims who believe that their good behaviour will lead you to GOD almighty, isn't it what we are aiming for, lets live in peace together and respect each others' believe, lets ask for our rights without hurting each other, enjoy freedom without affecting the freedom of others.

Just few points, you don't need to answer them, but I have to clarify few things:

You are absolutely right, Islam is all about logic; someone hits you then hit him back, if you do well then GOD will love, if you do badly then God will not love you. Very logical, simple and easy to understand, it makes lots of since.

Christianity is complicated, Trinity, forgiveness of sin seems weird to understand, Jesus son of GOD, Miracles, resurrection from death, Jesus death for our sins, all of these things that seems very complicated and almost impossible to understand, bibles are not written in Ijaz way the way Quran is written.

I do not blame you at all for not believing in what we believe in, it needs lots of open mind, free of all human understanding of the concepts of life like fairness, justice, truth, etc. We understand this because we truly believe in Jesus' love to humanity, because we believe in his revolutionary concepts, such as blessing enemies is a sign of strength not a sign of weakness.

What is asked from Christians are much more than what is asked from Muslims, so answering your question, Christians can not get away with whatever they do, we have to follow our example (Jesus Christ our lord) who lived a very hard and humble live. If we do well, it is out of love for our lord not out of fear. If we are going to heaven, it will be only through GODs love not because it is fair; if we depend on fairness then all of us do not deserve to go to heaven.

1. Bibles are not corrupted, you still didn't provide any proof that they were, the fact that Quran mentioned that they are corrupted, is not considered a proof for us.

2. Lebanon used to be a Christian country, please do not use it as an example on how fair Christians are treated there. Majority have left the country during the civil war. Christians used to be 80% of the population, now they are about 30-40% of the population. However, it is not your fault if Christians are not treated fairly in Muslims country. And it is not an excuse that muslims should not be treated fairly in the West. I totally believe in human rights, human dignity regardless of any difference whatsoever. after all this is what the bibles teachings are all about.

Peace be with you all.
