@ Alpha,
I know engaging you will lead to endless unproductive exchanges, so here is my answer to your past, present and future posts on matters Islam:

I see no purpose debating any claims of celestial/human being interaction from any religion especially one that claims its prophet and book are perfect, that it is the last and final revelation. Such matters can only be debated theologically and that is not my forte. However, a divine revelation to an illiterate merchant resulting in material so similar to the Old Testament - approximately 600 years after the Old Testaments was written does not sound too original even though we are made to believe differently. The only evidence for its claims is that adduced by those to whom the divine revelation was supposedly made to. This is very convenient. Like other religions before it, there is an inverse relationship between the claims it makes and the evidence it produces for its claims. Furthermore, Islam is a religion that makes large claims, whilst maintaining that such claims should not be questioned or scrutinized, which smirks of totalitarianism. It is a religion structured in a way that any challenge to it is considered profane and inevitably leads to heresy. How can we debate claims that have no evidentiary proof (besides theological proof).

I don’t know your purpose for defending Islam so vigorously in Wazua, but if you are proselytizing, then like I reminded you before you are preaching to the choir. People will not leave their current celestial dictatorship to hop on to another that is even more totalitarian; claiming to be a solution for everything from sexuality, relationships, banking, diet, afterlife, etc., but I may be wrong. Good luck however.

@Alpha please have a look at the following message by an Australian imam

But he is a muslim, a teacher at that. He is just frankly criticizing what he thinks is bad

Who decides who is a true muslim?

Or competing with hallucinations...

Reading the exchanges here, I am convinced our brother @hambulglar was right on one thing. His crude language notwithstanding.

The world will be one peaceful place the moment atheists are more than religious folks.

Yaani we have educated chaps here who can't agree on a simple right/wrong matter.

Everyone is chest-thumping claiming theirs is the true religion, that they are God's chosen people.

And yet, these God's chosen people from both sides can't trust their God to fight their battles and ensure justice prevails. For that, they resort to barbarism and pure savagery.

Talking of waning peace and security in the world and religion's role in it - With little more honesty one would identify the source main source of the cancer.

Thread is about a BBC documentary!

so, what have you guys gained from all this hulabaloo? The Israelis and the Palestinians are still killing each other. Let them fight it out. May the best team win....
