t's my assumption that speech that incites violence might be restricted (UK is the only country I know uses it) but most western countries are pretty good with truly free speech.
No Germany and Austria have strict no denial of Holocaust Policy and France has done the same
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
Speaking purely from experience I don't know what are the restrictions of what I can and cannot say
Exactly, you don't know, so don't make any comments in the first place.

It is a waste of time to discuss anything with you. As long as you consider Divine guidance to be imaginary, you will never be able to understand our perspective.
If you really want to understand Islam and Muslims, you should first understand our Creator, the Sustainer of everything. Otherwise, we can show you the exit door.
It is a waste of time to discuss anything with you. As long as you consider Divine guidance to be imaginary, you will never be able to understand our perspective.
You all knew what being an Atheist means. It means I don't believe God exists.

Actually doesn't affect your social life at all, everything continues as always.

You think I need to believe in God to understand Muslims and Islam ? You're wrong, I have lived all my life among religious people.

The American military has been responsible for between 12 - 20 million deaths since WW2; a much bigger number than any terrorist organisation. America fought against Iraq looking for invisible wmds, this seems hypocritical when America probably has the world's largest stockpile of said weapons.
If America is searching for a peaceful world, they need to find peaceful solutions.

You know that's a bullsh!t stat, especially given that you don't know how many scientists there are other than the ones some lying atheists like yourself counted (science is a very broad subject) and polled.
Anyway, there are zero atheist scientists - given the fact that science is a logical study of facts based on truthful data and not on denial, suppression, and censorship of pertinent facts.

Last time i checked america's share was around 25% of the global prison population - despite americans only being around 5% of the global human population.

Well since you're an exception to those people, i'm sure it'll be easy for you
If i say i don't believe that your leader - to who you submit instead of God - doesn't exist because i've never seen him/her in person and because i prefer to blind myself from the facts by suppressing the truth, - you wouldn't accept it at all since he/she stamped a bunch of laws and demands recognition.
Know that God the Most High, Just, and Wise has more right to be obeyed.
if you think Donald Trump is The Most High; and Trump agrees - i'd say you're both highly intoxicated in some way or another.

Well they should have shown you the correct path, and taught you to have some dignity by not becoming a worthless liar.

Arguing to learn or confirm the just truth is a good thing, arguing to confuse people by continually lying, suppressing the facts which you know to be true, and purposefully pulling out the same debunked arguments whilst refusing to allow the people you are arguing with and attempting to demean -to view those arguments is a despicable perversion and a criminal trait..

You can't have an objective view of what's right and wrong, your views are based purely on your own subjective opinions, from an Atheistic perspective they are as valid as the morals of a serial killer or child molester. You cannot deny this.

Not unproven, my belief is based on indisputable observations, but you won't accept it nor will you listen, you'll continue to stick your fingers in your ears and go "la la la", acting as if we don't have reasons for believing in Islam.

They clearly can't share the same morals as me since I don't support their actions.
If you want talk about atrocities committed by Muslims, then I have every right to talk about atrocities committed by Atheists, e.g Communist violence.
You can't have an objective view of what's right and wrong, your views are based purely on your own subjective opinions, from an Atheistic perspective they are as valid as the morals of a serial killer or child molester. You cannot deny this.
Ok, let's play in your own turf.
My morals are based on Christianity (I grew up Catholic), just like most of the western world.
But let's assume my morals all come from Social agreements (I obey the rules of the land unlike "serial killers or child molesters").
Yours come from an extraterrestrial (Allah) and therefore according to you they are "Objective and mine are Subjective"
Your morals are objective as long as they come from Allah but you also live by the morals of your prophet (pbuh), don't you???
He was a mortal (just like you and me) and therefore his morals are SUBJECTIVE, am I right ???
And using your own words these are as valid as what was it ... ???
I am not allowed to reply in the Sharia thread you started, so I have taken your quote from there......
Europe and America have been taking millions of Muslims who in some cases swim their way to the west
You have to ask yourself, what was the main cause of people becoming refugees, and the western world has to take much of the blame. Iraq was destabilised after the American led invasion, most of the refuges then fled to Syria which has also suffered.
It is estimated that over 11 million Iraqis are currently in need of humanitarian assistance. More than 1.5 million people have taken refuge in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, where one in every four is either a refugee or an internally displaced person.
America had no right to invade Iraq, the United Nations were still calling for diplomatic solutions which America disregarded. If America truly wants to rid the world of WMDs, it should clear its own back yard first.
In the spirit of praying for justice for all people,
Eric

No
first, Christianity and Islam have the same origin...so Christian morals should be not much different than Islamic morals.
second, Where do you think the morals of our prophet sas come from? It is the very same morals as from Allah.
Yes he was a mortal like you and me...but unlike you and me, the prophets have a direct and continuous connection with Allah.
If they make mistakes, they are corrected immediately.
Allah teaches us His morals by sending His prophets to us as role models.
And of course you could think of this on your own...but somehow you just want to argue...

I fully understand what you're saying but the point Al Khorasani is making is that we (Atheists) don't have "Objective Morals" because we don't get our morals from God. Actually doesn't have to be God but any extraterrestrial would do as long as is not human from earth (Ask him about that stupid theory)
Human morals according to him are "subjective".
I'm explaining to him that morals coming from the prophet (pbuh) according to his own definition are therefore "SUBJECTIVE"
Let's see how he's going to get out of this one.
I'm in no position to determine who is right and who is wrong and neither are you.
You can speculate all you want but don't ask me to participate in stupid back and forth discussions.
I prefer to think of solutions and live in harmony with the people around me unlike many religious people around here who can only think of revenge, an eye for an eye, you hit me first I'll hit you twice, etc.
It's a shame that the atheist in the forum is the most peaceful and forgiving.
I wish Muslims knew what Freedom of Speech really is
but I know there's no hope.
This thread isn't even about freedom of speech, its about Raymann getting on his soap box and preaching, then *shock* *horror* is astonished when he doesn't get his way.

Let's see how he's going to get out of this one.
I DO understand what Al Khorasani is saying and I have to say that I agree with him. Where do morals come from? who decides what is good and what is wrong? Somehow, we know exactly what is right and what is wrong right? intuitively....well, that intuition is divine. God has given us the ability to distuinguish the right from the wrong. So, whether you believe or not believe in God, the origin of the very basic morals point to God. These basic morals can also be mentioned by prophets and in holy books to give them extra weight...so we do not only have our intuition to trust on.
Besides these basic morals, one can adopt other morals, depending on the environment and culture one lives in. and if the environment or culture is somehow wandered of the right path, then one can adopt faulty morals.
for instance homosexuality. The western world thinks about this as a sexual preference. homosexuality is not a sickness and cannot be cured...one is born homosexual or not...so he can do nothing about it and should be therefore legalized.
but then the dilemma pedophilia. this is also a sexual preference but somehow pedophiles are treated by the community as sick disgusting people who should be locked up forever...even though they have done nothing yet...see the difference in morals?
Both are sexual preferences...both can do nothing about it...both are just born with it...but one is said to be perfectly normal...and the other is sick and disgusting.
I am not defending pedophiles nor attacking homosexuals here...but I am just pointing out that something is horribly wrong with our morals here.
This is just an example...there are enough other morals in the western world which are conflicting with one and other...so who is going to decide which moral is good and which isn't? We have a problem there...that is what Al Khorasani meant.
In Islaam we have morals listed out for us which are good and which are wrong. those morals are absolute and objective. That is the benefit of religion, to make our lives easier.
I fully understand what you're saying but the point Al Khorasani is making is that we (Atheists) don't have "Objective Morals" because we don't get our morals from God. Actually doesn't have to be God but any extraterrestrial would do as long as is not human from earth (Ask him about that stupid theory)
Human morals according to him are "subjective".
I'm explaining to him that morals coming from the prophet (pbuh) according to his own definition are therefore "SUBJECTIVE"
Let's see how he's going to get out of this one.
Atheists get their morals from the rothschild family propaganda machine and from their corrupt puppet politicians who sell them out for a pittance and a few relatively low-paid boardroom consultancies and share options after retirement -to the usurious banks, weapons companies, and corrupt pharmaceutical companies -who in turn get their morals from satan who is an extraterrestrial jinn who provides nothing, threatens poverty, and commands faahishah (filthy abominations) in order to confuse people - and that's where the inspiration for the winking and nodding one eyed seal comes from.
Whereas Muslims get their morals from Allah who is not an extraterrestrial -but rather the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth Who guides to righteous conduct and encompasses the heavens and the earth.
You are obviously seeking to argue and engage others in frivolous argument without benefit and i'll simply read the responses of others to you - if they wish to bother responding that is.
My morals are based on Christianity (I grew up Catholic), just like most of the western world.
No they're not, as an Atheist you will pick and choose which parts of Christian morality you'd like to apply (e.g love thy neighbour), and which parts you wouldn't (e.g you won't enslave people). So it's still subject to your personal bias.

Please explain.
In terms of moral guidance, Rasulullah (Peace Be Upon Him) only spoke based upon what is considered Islamically correct and incorrect, his personal bias was not involved when it comes to things such as this which count as revelation.
We also believe that his personal morals would be perfectly in line with Islamic morals (he was one of God's chosen Prophets so you'd expect this). That's not to say he would be free from sin (the Prophets could still commit minor sins), but he would still recognise they were wrong and repent.

Isn't it what Muslims do ?? Pick and choose. Some join ISIS, some others Al Qaeda, some gang rape, some join grooming gangs.
Luckily most of them are moderate peaceful ones.

No, sorry. Morals coming from God are OBJECTIVE, morals that come from the prophet (pbuh), are SUBJECTIVE. He was a human.
