Dear Nuray: I have been reading your dabate . You are a pious muslim and are trying to defend islam and prophet (pbuh). I really dont think you are achieving anything.On the contrary you are hurting it badly. It takes a true believer to understand the reasons and contexts of the quranic ayas and hadiths. Since only a learned islamic scholar can explain the apparently controversial issues, there is no use arguing with those who are neither believers nor want to believe. Allah (swt) has said in quran:
2.007
: Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil;
6.025
Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs, not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee, they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients."
6.110
We confound their hearts and their eyes. As they believed not therein at the first, We let them wander blindly on in their contumacy
