Hi Sliver' well it certainly is in England there was a hugh celebration in Trafalgar Sq and right across Great Britain. Very nice it was too! Peace

:D :) Wow! 3 now (the divine number!!):)

I dont feel so alone non thanks to you Agnideva :) Happy New year to you and all on these bords.

Well apparentley I'm the only Hindu here! : ( lol...wish my brothers and sisters would participate more.

Hi All just thought that I'd point out that this shaking of hands and the implied tension between a western view and an Islamic one. If in the west a man touch's a woman with desire it is called sexual harassment, if the woman feels that the touch is of sufficient threat then she has...

Hi Sub Some interesting points made well there. It’s taken me some time to ponder the questions raised on this thread. I’ve come to the conclusion that the “fundamental Hindu’s” for want of a better phrase, are seeing that extremism seems to be prophesizing (sp?) across the world. Islamic...

Thank you I, Brian...(and thankyou for the welcome btw!:)) I very interested in how the world is going both in a secular sense and religious, if there are any convergences or overriding disputes. So your explination helps me greatly. Thanks again! Peace Red

Hi ebel86 Then why have Jesus as one of the Prophets of Islam and condemn His followers to hell? Same with the Jews and Abraham (he also being the founder of Islam if another thread is to be belived) Seems illogical. Contradictory in fact?? Peace

Hi tufail I'm very interested in this subject. Could you tell me who the individual you quoted (below in bold) is so that I may read up on them?

Thank you I Am Free, I'm aware of all the posts on this thread, post number 15 is not very explicit, what I'm after is The Official Line on non Abrahamic faiths. Ie, what a Muslim should do when faced with people of such faiths, and how they are sanctioned to act towards them. Peace.

Hi All interesting thread. So if Abraham is the true founder of Islam, what went wrong (or what was done wrong in the past) up until the creation of the word Islam? Peace

Hi Amica thank you for the reply and the explination for that verse. However you do not address the issue of Islams attitude to other non Abrahamic faiths. and my first post seems to have been ignored on this thread. just to re quote myself : - Could you answer this maybe? Peace

Hi Iyad thank you for the reply the quote below from your good self answers my question, if it's just a case of dialectual changes then I can see the need for over writing. Peace

Hi Iyad I’ve been pondering this and what you are saying is that the revisions found in the Yemen fragments are a matter of lingustical interpretation then why did God decided the messenger of His Word to be delivered by somebody who could not read nor write? If the Qu’ran is the true word...

Hi All all good points made well. Just on the question of usage of the term Sanatana Dharma, I really do not see this as a symbol of the right. It's the name we gave our faith thousands of years ago and therefore justified in being used. One thing that we must not forget that throughout...

Hi Sub couldnt agree with you more, and welcome! :) (The Yantra is Krisna's btw). Peace

Hi André Hindu Fundamentalism is an oxymoron. The like of the BJP are thinly cloaked fascists and should be ignored. As the Indian population did in the last election in India, and as we know Hindus make up the vast majority in India. Even then the term “fundamental” cannot be analogous to...

Thanks banjo. So (playing the advocate here btw) the common notion that The Qu'ran is a perfect form of literature that contains the literal word of God as ricited to The Last Prophet can no longer be the case. If God intended to allow post editing of His Word then Muhammad should never...

Thank you to all that replied, a little more confused then before! Friend, if this is the Original Qu'ran as dictated to by The Prophet how did it reach Turkey and why is it not held in Mecca or Medina? Monsio : although I see your point, i've asked a freind who works at The British Library...

Dear Friends As a non Muslim I have been lead to believe that The Qu’ran is the literal word of God as recited by The Last Prophet Mohammed in the 7th century to various family members and followers who (then) wrote it down for posterity. As such, (such) a precious document must still be here...
