    Need Help with Interfaith Relationship

    Hey Guys, My name is Mohamed and I need some help. I'm a pretty easy going Muslim man while my girlfriend/potential wife is a pretty strong Catholic. Truthfully I don't believe in the Trinity but I would like to understand where you guys are coming from without having to argue with her about...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    Let me just ask you if you've ever lived in a nation governed by Sharia? I'm going to assume that you haven't but forgive me if you have. I have lived in Egypt, side by side with the Christians (20+ percent of the pop.) who, I can attest are not looked down upon, atleast in the area i lived in...

    giving jesus a face means your giving god a face?

    I think its important to remember that God is not our friend per se until the time is ready. What I mean by that is that He is more like a Father to us, guiding us and teaching us. We may not like having to pray 5 times a day or prohibit great tasting pork (yes i've tried it) from our diet...

    How can Muslims be assured that the Qur'an is the Word of God?

    Hey guys, I'm new here and came across this awesome conversation, had to get in on it. That last post was too long to respond to in one post so I'll respond to this one first. It is important to remember that the word "We" was used similarly by Kings and Monarchs when speaking in the first...

    Do we (Muslims, Christians and Jews) believe in the same God or not?

    Hey guys! I'm new here and came across this awesome conversation so I thought I'd take part! I want to agree, and disagree with it as well. I believe in its own right a division as well as a classification. There is no doubt that the human Jesus as God, the "spirit" of God and the "father"...
