The whole of Quran is applicable to muslims, not just 32, but 33 and 34 too. The point is what exactly do you want to infer from it. Quran is supposed to be read as a whole, not just a few verses of one's liking or what suits his agenda. There are a lot of people who talk about this verse here...

Islam works differently from lets say modern christianity or hinduism. To come up with an Islamic opinion you have to follow a particular methodology, otherwise its just human opinion, nothing significant.

The thing is that once you stop believing Quran as the word of God, you are by definition outside Islam. When you are outside Islam, whatever you say will be considered your personal opinion, not Islam's opinion. For example I am not a hindu, so I dont try to modify it either. Its going to be a...

If somebody doesnt consider Quran to be the word of God, than why do these people call themselves muslim? Nobody is forcing you to. Just be a liberal whatever, whats the point being a muslim.

Prayer is a thing whose inner workings I still dont know. Current world turmoil is man's own creation. Somebody somewhere gets richer when somebody else is killed. you cant drink poison and pray for a long life at the same time.

Kind of agree with Thomas here. A mystical tradition is supposed to catalyze a healthy detachment from world, full flowering of the self and realization of God (kind of standard sufi objective). Buddhist tradidtion is interested in complete and irreversible end of suffering (and to some rebirth...

They used to be very orthodox chishti mystics from south asia, then they dropped sharia, third generation mixed some buddhism, so I dont know how authentic the tradition is right now. If you want to get something out of your practice, it should have a complete unbroken tradition. There are many...

Well a lot of Islam will be perfectly compatible with a lot of Buddhism, but whats the point? More importantly what do you want form both? They are both different kind of teachings. Buddhist "mind training" is pretty awesome, very practical compared to alot of other fluff. Tantric buddhism is...

There are no divine polarities in Islam. Allah is the highest, supreme entity, without any counterpart or opponent. By definition, highest good. Satan, in Islam is not an opponent of God, but an opponent of man. From Sufi POV, human whim is the only false God in the universe...

There definitely havebeen sectarian and ethnic faultlines in the middle east (as everywhere), and the west made sure that those faultlines evolved into full scale civil wars, so that the lands will be easy to conquer and loot. Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Algeria, Libya are all...

Well media will sell what has market value. Recently a thousand Indian religious scholars unanimously denounced ISIS as unislamic, but no one cares. Right now, Russia is bombing the hell out of ISIS and western media is whining about the "holiness of nation state" and "killing of moderate...

Turks hadbeen attacking eastern europe long long before they converted to Islam. Are you sure you dont have any turkic DNA in you. And do you know who lived in Hungary before hungarians? Anyways it doesnt matter So whats up with you and Islam? What do you know about it, apart from live news.

Religion is a trivial issue for the west, so satirizing Pope or Jesus or God is no big deal. I havent seen any proper satire of neither 911 nor Holocaust. Infact in many EU countries there are laws against it. Revisionists like Finkelstein face a hard life everywhere. From what I heard, same...

How about satirizing holocaust, 911 etc. That would be a good start. Very many muslims dont feel the urge to to speak, how many Americans ever speak against the whole list of mass murders starting form Natives? And when they do, its not a news. Recently 1000 scholars from India denounced ISIS...

Most probably out of frustration. These events are seen as deliberate provocation by muslims, and are usually followed by "you aint so civilized to get our freedom of speech" kind of hypocritical arguments. Freedom of speech is what Assange or Snowden are doing.

Two people invoking the same name doesnt constitute an argument. I hope you realize that. Eitherway it seems Russians are gonna bomb all these US-EU "regime change" terrorists. Ironic, since some 40 years ago this brand of proxy warriors were manufactured by the same Americans against the same...

hey, welcome back.
