Aside from the rare odd case, detonating bombs are usually done for political purposes. As I've said, time and time again.

Not every muslim has driven a plane into a skyscraper. Nineteen muslims have, but I believe there are 1.5 billion muslims in the world. There'd be no skyscrapers left, if every muslim suddenly decided to target skyscrapers.

Wow, you seem friendly.

In the muslim world, women's rights are supposed to be upheld and human rights abuses shouldn't occur. And adultery isn't minor to the woman whose husband cheated on her. Atrocities are generally occuring in the muslim world because of a lack of education, not religion. As for your assumption...

I don't know the details of the Arab-Israeli conflict, but from my knowledge, there is considerable conflict between the countries because of issues such as land rights, border security and such. Palestinians also want to establish an independent state alongside the State of Israel but as so...

Well, I personally have no problem with Jews. In real life, there is sometimes tension between Jews and Muslims because of the Palestine/Israel thing, but many are willing to accept one another open-mindedly. Here on Bos, on the other hand, is a different story. The only thing happening here...

Jews and Muslims in this thread, or in real life?

That verse is generally interpreted to mean that muslims should take care meeting with the Jews and Christians, as they may become inclined towards their respective religions. Jews and Christians when the Quran was revealed were quite religious and staunch in their ways, so by regularly...

I don't understand why you think it is a cult when you have read the Quran. I've read it too, and nothing in it implies anything of the sort. Didn't you find a lot of references to peace and such? Also, why do you hate it so much, when Jews are spoken of kindly, “Verily, those who believe and...

Really? That's interesting. How did you study it? Did you read the Quran or take a course or something?

But what made you form this opinion? I don't get it. Did you study Islam, or did someone tell you this stuff?

Seriously, what makes you think you know anything about Islam? Did you encounter some muslims, or did you study Islam or what?

The ones who understand Arabic know what they are reading, the rest read a translation that is reliable.

Its a complex language, true, but if you know Arabic, its not difficult at all. That's just like anything in life. If you know something well, it isn't hard. I'm just saying, Arabic is no way like English, you need to be real careful when translating, because one error could mean a whole...

Yes, but the Arabic language is vastly different from the English language. In Arabic, a word could have multiple interpretations, so a particular translation you find on the net might not be reliable.

Google search? Really? Wow. I didn't think you were the type to believe everything you read on the internet.

The difference between culture and religion? Religion is basically about your beliefs and whatnot, and culture is basically a set of traditions that define a particular country or nationality. For example, Lebanon and Pakistan are both muslim countries yet their foods, weddings, dress are...

Yes.

Actually, you are so wrong. Honour killings, rape and brutal treatment of wives are condemned. Genital mutilation is also condemned, that is a cultural thing and not a religious thing. These things that you mentioned are because of culture which is separate from religion.
