To all the women in this thread, with all my respect,
"On March 11, 2002, fourteen Saudi Arabian girls burned to death inside a public intermediate school in Mecca. Efforts to rescue several of these girls were thwarted by local members of the Committee to Preserve Virtue and Prevent Vice. Witnesses reported that any girls who were not wearing abayas, the traditional head-to-toe coverings, were pushed back into the burning dormitory."

Right now, living in open societies, your are free to choose whether to wear islamic dress or not. That is not necessarily the case in places in which Muslims are already a majority. Be careful.
The ulema who interpret the Quranic teachings are always men.
Except for the thousands (literally!) of Muslim women who have been Islamic scholars listed in this book! Some prominent female scholars have also been mentioned here:The ulema who interpret the Quranic teachings are always men.
As an appropriate penance I will wear a burqa for one hour...
To everybody,
I am sorry. You are right. The subject of Islamic dress was off topic. But it wasn't solely my fault. Look at Sister Khadija's long post on the subject. It was such a temptation to me that I forgot that here we are debating something else and I answered it.
We share the guilt I guess.

Moss said:Basically the question is what is the islamic viewpoint on the events taking place after the alleged crucifiction, do we believe its just a fabrictaed story?
Moss said:As muslims obviously we believe this, but to a christian he would say there were all these witnesses that saw him after the crucifiction, were all of them lieing?
Hana_Aku, why do you think I wouldn't read the posts? That would make no sense, I would be debating with myself!
To everybody,
My last post for today! I know that you will not miss me...
Hana_Aku, why do you think I wouldn't read the posts? That would make no sense, I would be debating with myself! There is no fun in that! I read the last post here, the one that says:
"The Apostles did NOT know the truth, only what they saw. Jesus (Peace be upon him) was alone in the Garden for, they say 30 minutes, before he was arrested. What ever happend in those moments were solely between God and Jesus. Anything between the two of them is possible. We are talking about GOD! He took Jesus, made the switch, end of story."
So according to the Muslim view God deliberately FOOLED the Apostles into believing that the real Jesus was arrested.
What a God you believe in!
So the one answering the questions of the Roman magistrate was "fake-Jesus" and the one who spoke from the Cross was also "fake-Jesus". All the time his followers (including his own mother, covered in tears) were being FOOLED by God.
I will have to take a rest.
But as Arnold says, I will be back...![]()
No, when you lie it is because you know the truth. The Apostles did NOT know the truth, only what they saw. Jesus (Peace be upon him) was alone in the Garden for, they say 30 minutes, before he was arrested. What ever happend in those moments were solely between God and Jesus. Anything between the two of them is possible. We are talking about GOD! He took Jesus, made the switch, end of story.
What the Apostles wrote is only what they saw and many things of GOD are beyond human comprehension. Who are we to deny that God would have done this? The reason he did is the question.
It was to test all of human kind. The reason we are here to be tested. So when we come to judgement day we are tested based on what knowledge did we have and what did we do with it? Make the right or wrong choices?
