Islam is the new "bogeyman" to attack if you want to become rich and famous these days. The louder you bark the more other dogs of the society will give you spot light and money to bark even louder...but it's ok because inshallah on J-Day, we'll have the last laugh!

Are the "Saved" going to be in heaven actually laughing and jeering at the residents of the fire? Having the last laugh?
Once you get to Jannah you can chuck your morals overboard?

Hey,
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds; Save those who will stand on the right hand. In gardens they will ask one another; Concerning the guilty: What hath brought you to this burning? They will answer: We were not of those who prayed, Nor did we feed the wretched. We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders, And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Surah Muddathir [74: 37-46]

Yes PA, I have read the Koran , and I know those verses. I was wondering how modern muslims interprete them.
Abdul has pointed out the justice being dealt to them. You are saying its scriptually fine to laugh at misfortune.

^The punishments they will suffer are not 'misfortune', they are, well, punishments! It isn't something that happened by accident, it is something they earned.
Well sure.
I am saying that when someone gets the electric chair these days, I dont personally Laugh at them. I wont feel sorry either. I will be glad that justice is served.
It would seem that the saved are sitting on comfy high sofas with bags of popcorn watching skin getting repeatedly burned off and its all causing quite a bit of amusement.
Now 2000 years ago or even 400 years ago, that sort of spectator sport was a great day out for all the family.
I was wondering how the scripture was interpreted nowadays by the scholars so that muslims are not seen as amphitheatre spectators at a lion eating bout.

I don't think you've read the Quran.. that is just my observation from the sort of questions you ask...
and I think the scriptures are clear.. those who used to deride Muslims, torture them while on earth, will indeed be punished and we'll get the last laugh....
There is no misfortune here.. it is what their hands have earned...
the way you tie verses together, in your usual pedantic style, has no impact on me whatsoever the verses are clear.. there is no re-interpretation-- this isn't the bible, made to suite someone's fancy!
cheers
