Mohammed Yousif said:
This is not true
Islam does NOT support slavery.
From 14 centuries ago, people (specially those who were living in Europe) couldn't have imagined life without slaves and so Islam states that as follows :
Well thats not how I said it, I'm not talking about islam
. Maybe your denomination of islam doesn't support it, but it IS true that the quran does.
1-You cannot get new slaves (Islam closed the doors for getting new slaves , you are not allowed to kidnap people , you are not allowed to involve in wars rather than those wars which you must involve in to defend your country or defend other people...etc .........etc).
Maybe your denomination of islam says it, but again, the quran doesn't
2-If your female slave got a baby , it's YOUR BABY , and must take your name.
3-There are great rewards for those who are trying to FREE slaves.
From 'Surat Al-Bakara' verse number 177:
This is very true, the quran does say it this way, however, you said yourself, premarital sex is evil, hence you shouldn't have sex with an unmarried person in the first place, contrary to what the quran does support.
4-If a slave wants to be free , he can work on his own and get money and buy himself, which is called 'Mokataba' and not even that , but Islam encourages people to give them money after freeing them , so they can start a life of their own!
From 'Surat Al-Noor' verse number 33:
As does the bible, and the origional texts of the quran. And I never said that it doesn't
5-A lot of sins can be cleared by just freeing slaves (for example , if you sweared to do something but didn't , Freeing a slave would clear that).
From Qura'an , 'Surat Al-Balad'
That was the Islamic plan toout an end to slavery without discouraging a lot of people and now Islam succeeded to do so and slavery got an end by that Islamic plan (isn't that great!)
and according to that plan, Islam doesn't allow you to get new slaves and so a muslim IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SLAVES ANYMORE
This is a good thing, and why I still think christians are a lot more destructive/evil than true muslims (not talibanish/terrorist ones). The bible endorses slavery, jesus doesn't necessarily describe slavery as a bad thing (I'm not 100% on this though so anybody please correct me if im wrong)
Christianity as a whole has still not officialy declared slavery as a sin from what I am aware.
But even if they do, that is not following their holy book to its exact writing. Just as islam saying slavery is bad is not following its holy book to its origional writing.
NO , this is not true.
That was the case BEFORE ISLAM.
Before Islam people were founding it shame to have a girl , and so they were killing girls they got , but islam PROHIBTED THAT , and made women EQUAL to men
In the current bible, you can find it clear that men are better than women, and even have the rights to MASTER women!!!
but Islam is far better than that, a woman is a human ,and a man is human , and they are equal.
look at this:
http://www.geocities.com/window2islam/books/womeninjudeochris.html
to know to what extent Islam gives women all of their rights.
Maybe true, but the quran, as well as many other forms of islam, still say that women are inferior.
NOT TRUE
Islam only encourages you to involve in a war , if you must involve in it to DEFEND yourself or to DEFEND any innocent evenif that innocent is not a muslim.
and if defending your lands and your people is terrorism , then I'm a terrorist indeed.
Islam prevents us from OFFENDING people , we don't have the rights to go and take someone's lands and say it's our lands!!
and if you are to think such a way then I should say 'Spain is our lands because most of its people were muslims someday'!
From 'Surat Al-Anfaal':
Well go read the quran and see just how many places allah wanted his people to take simply for the reason that he thought they were "better"
Of course if you don't follow the quran then you don't follow everything mohammud told you do you?
you see
This is called 'Adaptation' not 'EVOLUTION'.
Evolution means that someday you can see a human with 4 arms for example (and this is not true)
compare the current human with a human from the Stone Age for example , you will not see much difference , you will not see that he has 4 legs , you will not see that he has one eye.
so this cannot be called 'Evolution' , this is called 'Adaptation'.
Actualy evolution, adaptation, and natural selection work hand in hand to create a new species.
Some people have been born with 6 fingers on each hand. Don't believe me? go look on the net. Adaptation would allow this person to be able to work with 6 fingers and use it to his advantage. Now natural selection would allow this persons genes to spread better if 6 fingers somehow gives you a distinct survival advantage that no other person has, hence more people would be born with the 6 finger "gene". Not all offspring would be born with 6 fingers, but some of them will, and eventualy if the gene survives enough, all will be born with 6 fingers.
Again we haven't been recording history long enough to have recorded any changes like this. But, theres already proof of natural selection existing, look at the pug, none of those exist in the wild, nor ever have. In fact, they haven't existed for more than a few thousand years, and their entire existence is in human captivity from what I am aware, correct me if I'm wrong.
Of course I'm trying to support my belief , but these are not theories , and you saw yourself some verses from Qur'an that were discovered lately , just to prove that Qur'an is the truth in a book.
Yet there are some parts of the quran that you evidently ignore and don't follow anymore as I showed you earlier, in essense you have
'thrown them out'
But everything should have a reason , and if we were that reason , Allah will reward us for that.
Not necessarily. Why do humans, when given a choice, chose to be evil? Why did allah design us with the desire to do evil?
Depends on which islam denomination we are talking about here
