I thought so too.  He asked questions that he knew westerners would want the answers to, but asked in a respectful, professional way.  I might buy the book that Sister Katherine wrote:  "Rethinking Muslim Women and the Veil: Challenging Historical and Modern Stereotypes."]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 02:04:10 +0000 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26644&PID=540364#540364 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26612&PID=540363#540363 Author: searching

I do not believe that Jesus PBUH was God's son.  And I don't think that it makes any sense that God himself would have to sacrifice his own son in order to forgive us, when he is all powerful and can forgive who He chooses to forgive.  This idea of him having a human son and then killing him just so that he can forgive us is absurd to me.  But I respect that this is your belief and have no problem with anyone who believes differently than me.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:50:15 +0000 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26612&PID=540363#540363 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26654&PID=540362#540362 Author: searching

Brother Amjad,

I will pray for your wife.  You have been so kind to me and even told me that your wife prayed for me.  I know that I'm not a Muslim, but I think that God listens to my prayers, too.  May God help her to recover quickly and return home. Ameen.

I'm very happy to hear this.  I am always concerned about women's rights and education in any country.  I was amazed that this is the case in Saudi Arabia, though.  I just wish that women would have even more rights there in regards to their personal freedom.  But I guess change happens slowly.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:27:59 +0000 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25994&PID=540361#540361 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26654&PID=540360#540360 Author: Al-Cordoby

All attacks on religious groups are horrible.  It's sad that some people hate others just for their religious beliefs. 

Just to clarify, the correct word is not islamist but Muslim.

I won't comment on Egypt or anything else that I don't understand but I can say that the claim that a burkini poses a hygiene problem is absurd.  These are not street clothes worn all day, they are actually Muslim women's swimming suits.  And I've seen LOTS of these online and none of them include a face veil.  They are made of the same type of material as western swimwear but simply cover the whole body.  Why would this be a hygiene problem?  This is just another excuse to discriminate against Muslim women.  Why are some people so threatened by those who dress differently or look different than they do?  It's very sad to me.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:07:29 +0000 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26638&PID=540358#540358 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26653&PID=540357#540357 Author: The_Seeker

Hi searching

Thanks for your reply. Do you know the strongest love in nature? It is mother's love for her offsprings, in particular, human mother's love for her children. This is because she shed her own blood with great pain when delivering a new life. In fact it is simply a reflection of God' love for human beings through Jesus Christ, who shed His own blood with great pain in order to create a new life. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Did your God show such sacrificial love for human beings, because He loves them so much? Islam is not exception, and all religions claim that their God is most merciful. But what about sacrificial love for us?

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (as a sacrifice for our sins) that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:01:48 +0000 http://whyislam.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26612&PID=540355#540355
