sorry I do believe I was the first to raise that point and I am from Ireland not the UK. Muslims have been very vocal in Ireland about demanding things to the point of making a pretty tollerant person tell them "if you dont like it here go home"

The majority of muslims that are in Ireland have only just arrived over the past few years and are there for economic reasons - I have no issue with that as we have had a lot of Polish people arrive recently too... their attitude and willingness to integrate means they are accepted more openly.

Totally agree with you dylan, Most eastern europiean immagrents are Lutheran or Russian orthadox and i have not heard any demands from them to date, i stand to be corrected if they have.

to be clear on this matter


our holy book the Quran was written muhammad (pboh) 1 he was illiterate...
and 2 he cannot be classed as a man because he was a prophet/ messnger of God

he too had diciples like jesus did and thay also have books of sunnah and teaching that talk about how he the prophet lived.... his life on earth...

faisal

Yes but he is still not God there for still Fallible.

But Phil the bible doesnt say "god created bacteria..." it says god created man and woman - its proven that evolution created man and woman and not god - if the bible is incorrect on such a basic point what else is it inaccurate about?

agreed it doesnt specifically say that God created bacteria lol though that may come under the umbrella of God created all things. God created the Heavens and the earth.

its simply not proven that evolution produced man and woman, where are the half apes folk now? if evolution is continuing?surely? why arent we evolving more? we havent beat everything yet? in 500years we will be able to running faster than a cheetah and be stronger than a bear>? and oh so much clever? like we will probably have found a few billion more galaxies? that werent there until we spotted them through a big scope on Pluto. no i dont think so.


No offence mate but alot of what I read in the bible is like a badly written sci-fi script. That is not designed to be offensive but when I read about burning bushes, miracles etc it doesnt seem like reality to me.
no offence taken dylan, why would supernatural seem like reality? it was recorded that God clothed the world in darkness when his Son died, this was recorded by historians(an eclipse i hear you think(myhearingspowerfulgood!) it was for 6hours, thats no eclipse) its natural to try and put limits to God, but if you cannot accept a burning bush how could you begin to imagine the beginning time!(neither can i)

Plus if Jesus was at a wedding turning water in to wine where is he now? turn NOTHING into water and food for starving kids who are tonight in pain and suffering - I ask you where is your god? and if your god allows that type of suffering to occur then he should be ashamed of him/herself.

if, we were doing as the Bible teaches we would give to those in need, i guess in that sense we dont do enough, although alot of Christians are Aid workers in difficult and dangerous parts of the world. as to where is my God?, he is in Heaven, he sent his Son to Earth, and man he had created 2thousand years previous Killed his Son by Nailing him to a tree for Sin he didnt have. man started the suffering when Sin entered into the world(and i quote" and death by Sin and so death is passed upon all men" "it is appointed on to men once to die and after this the judgement") sadly that is the case, thats one appointment we will not be late for.

suicide was not permitted now it is.
contraception wasnt permitted but now it is.

the bible hasnt changed, its presentation has (and even then your example is limited to the Catholic Church) it probably suited the church to ban contraception to Boost family and numbers in the churchs.

I struggle to believe - if there was something that showed me that a higher power existed I would believe.

willing to consider, you are a bigger man than many.

I was stopped in staples a few weeks ago in Florida. This woman started talking to me in one of the isles. She started asking me how I felt about religion etc then when I told her I had my own personal beliefs and would prefer not to discuss it she jumped down my throat quoting passages to me etc and I said to her "where was your god when his so called representitives and the people who spread his word were abusing children?? where was your god then?" she promptly walked off.

her God was taking note of every Sin commited, for the bible speaks of the "wages of Sin" them you earn through sin and every man knows he has earned well. they will be held accountable they will stand before God. if we cant comprehend the evil done, remember this God is Just.

Personally dont see much difference between religion and cults.
me either, im not a religious person the Bible tells that "there is none righteous no not one" its all gibberish to me, i just keep it simple.

more information for you

during the month of ramadhan on the 27 night (30 total) it is believed the Quran was finished and this night for our prophet lasted around 40 real time back then years ...

i cant fully rember the way it goes but GOD himslef spoke/read out the verses of the Quran to our prophet....

if the almighty has said it and our prophet has written it down where does it get lost in translation if it stayed the same throughout....

this is slightly off the point but i am going to say it anyway (its too late at night to be able to write this any better but ive tried my best and if it offends anyone im sorry, its not meant to come accross like that);

people in the uk are mostly quite proud to be british (not as much as we used to but we still are). it is a bit disheartening when you go to the capital city of the uk and you see more muslims/asians/polish etc than you do white brits.

it is a bit rascist i agree but if you went to china for example and all you saw were white Caucasians speaking english it would make you stop and think a bit.

its a bit like going to birmingham and them all having scottish accents, its something inherently individual about the area that distinguishes it from somewhere else.

the uk has a rich and interesting history and that is what makes the UK individual. different races and religions integrating into the uk society destroys its individualism.

the world is alot more integrated now and alot off different religions and races live together.

but untill the countries of the world are joined as one there will still be this divide.

Your bible says its an addition/alteration , our Quran says its a separate entity , however relating to the bible , Fact . fair enough

the bible doesnt mention the quran,

the quran is just one of many additions that people have tried to run along side the bible, like the Mormon church etc, all the bible says is that nothing is to be added to or taken anyway from it.

like your attitude Phil you seem pretty open about this stuff and comfortable with it. I always expect people to take offence when their religion is discussed and challenged but to get a version of what you believe in decent terms is welcomed.

On the evolution piece.. I think that to challenge the fact that evolved is just a step away from declaring the earth is flat. There is a pretty decent array of apes up to almost human missing just a couple of jumps but nothing that would make me question where we originated from.

Also if we all orginated from one single man and woman... wouldnt that involve sleeping with your sister? surely that is condoned?

I think the advances man has made in the past 100 years shows a huge leap in technology and thinking and is a perfect example of evolution.

that means nothing. something is always lost in translation however well it has been translated. unless you can read the original text in its original language and understand it 100% then the meaning is slightly blurred so to speak. the fundementals are there in the majority of it may be pretty much spot on in the way it presents itself but there are still little bits that may have been misunderstood etc. there is always human error to consider.....

if every translation says the same thing to a very minor degree varies slightly, and people who can read all of the original langauges agree that it is a good translation im happy.

btw the fundementals are very important, and the different translations i have differ so slightly its funny,

its a not a translation a)God is love
translation b) God is Hate

its ever so minor.

doesnt sound racist to me mate see exactly where you are coming from. There are areas of Dublin that are all muslim or all nigrian etc... I think its a shame on many levels:

1) I like my city having an identity
2) I would like to see people come to my country and experience it not set up ghettos and turn it into an extension of their country
3) Cultural diversity is great but share it

What I mean by the last point would point toward Indian people for example. They celebrate and involve others. An Indian guy I used to work with came into work with invitations inviting us all to some celebration regarding his daughter. A family beside my sister were celebrating something and knocked on the door and had some Indian sweets they had made for us to try.

Even where I am at the moment I like to hang around with the people I have met here and we have a good time but when in Rome and all that...

not sure mate. even though its fundamentally wrong, this world still seems to be a white mans world. and dare i say it, from that perspective i can see why muslim fanatics get so irate and go to the extremes they do as there should be equality in this world.

just to confirm i do not condone any acts of terrorism at all. there is no need for it.

the divide will finish one day faisel,

when the anti-christ comes,(a man of courage and immense fianacial prowess(i hear you say the world is set for his arrival lol yes it is!)) then he will solve the problems of the this world for a time, one of his answers will be(muslims will be prodominent by this time(you can see that happening)) that Israel i the root of all the problems, which it is, Gods choosen people who the West protects. he will suggest, if we unit we can obilerate the jew(hitler has tried that before and failed) then we have armageddeon, everyone versus Israel, but Christ will return and Israel will be Victors.
