my final words to Amar

Mr. Amar,

You have every right to wonder or to object to some words written in Kuran about the punishments of unbelievers. this may also cause you not to believe in islam. Our explanation of it is like I said before, everything except the main idea and the moral values are for the year 700 and for the first wars between non believers and new muslims in those days.and we have to adopt everything written in Kuran to today's life. And this is exactly why ı say we need a new and courageous interpration of kuran and muhammeds life. but if you say like many other of your fellow christians that, muslims can look at these orders and can go out and start fighting and bombing the non muslims then this will be the same of usame bin ladins look to islam which is absolutely nonsense.

we must know that all religions,not only islam,came out to teach humans to help them to live morally and to remind them not to desregard the spiritual life,drawning in materializm. Today atheiszm is on the rise. even if they call themselves christians or muslims,in reality most of them are just so by the name.everybody is running after power and money and fame and not enough love is going around.we dont know the taste of helping others without waithing anything from them.

So, my friend, it really is not important to try to prove that islam is real or fake.Try to read the other parts of Kuran and you will see that there is not much difference.many muslims including myself wouldnt believe that jesus is the son of god. But who cares. if we dont believe in god, what is the meaning of life and who will show us the beauties of the world.

Peace.
