Why do some Jews and Christians think that Homosexuality is not a sin ?

Why do some Jews and Christians think that Homosexuality is not a sin ? I'll never met a Muslim who thought Homosexuality was halal but there are Homosexuals who claim to be Jewish and or Christian this makes no sense to me because the God of Abraham in both the Bible and the Quran says Homosexuality is evil.

Since I am a Muslim now do I have to throw away my Bible ?

Is it haram for a Muslim to read the Bible ? I believe that the Bible still has some truths in it there are verses in the Bible that agree with Islam also I think the God of the Bible is the same God as the God of Islam. I just can't reject every verse in the Bible as corrupt. There are Jews and Christians who admit that the Bible has errors in it.

Anjem Choudary: Killing of Non Muslims is Legitimate

Anjem Choudary: Killing of Non Muslims is Legitimate

It is very easy to defend Islamic terrorism: non-Muslims are guilty of not having accepted Islam. Therefore, killing non-Muslims is not killing innocent people. If you just accept this, it becomes all very logical. Can you accept it?

Is he correct ?

Sorry but I must say that I think it is sick that people would call for Europe to be bombed and nuked and call for the blood of Danish People. Im not saying that the Danish cartoons were good but why not just hate the person who made those cartoons not a entire nation.
 
Re: Anjem Choudary: Killing of Non Muslims is Legitimate

No!

The Qur'an says:



["Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Taghut (evil) and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trust worthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. " (Qur'an 2:256)]


Muslims are only commanded to fight those who attack them.


“Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors. And kill them wherever you catch them and drive them out from whence they drove you out, for terrorism is worse than killing. But do not engage in combat with them at the sacred mosque unless they engage you in combat there. But if they combat against you, kill them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And combat them on until there is no more terrorism or oppression and there prevail justice and faith in Allah. But if they cease, don't let there be hostility except to those who practice oppression.”
[Surah al-Baqarah: 190-193]


But..


​


"If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge." [Al-Qur'an 9:6]

8:61 But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that hears and knows (all things).

I have a better idea. Sell it or donatee it to a church. Never throw books away.
 
Re: Since I am a Muslim now do I have to throw away my Bible ?

If your certainty in Islam is strong then I think you should keep it. Learning about other religions is strongly encouraged. On the other hand, if you belief in Islam is not stable and strong then I would say give it away or sell it.
 
Re: The Five Dancing Israelis Arrested On 9-11

9/11 was an inside job. I have read that the Jews had not turned up work on that day and Israel has benefited the most with the wars in iraq for their bogus search for WMD and now with an upcoming war with Iran
 
Re: Since I am a Muslim now do I have to throw away my Bible ?

If we want other people treat our holy book nicely, we must treat other people holy book nicely too. Don't throw away that Bible. You can donate it, or if you want to keep it, you can keep it.

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]There is also a warning for those Muslim countries, which witnessed all these as a silent spectator. What had earlier been done to the innocent people of Iraq, Chechnya, and Bosnia?

I have several Bibles, including the one I read extensively when I was in college before becoming a Muslim. No, you don't have to discard your Bible, but I most definitely would not put it on equal footing with the Quran. I reread the NT after I decided to practice Islam in 2001 and I was able to see some things for the first time, like the struggle between Paul (faith) and Jesus' disciples (works) in Galatians and how Paul had claimed to receive a revelation from God.
I believe that the Bible still has some truths in it there are verses in the Bible that agree with Islam also I think the God of the Bible is the same God as the God of Islam.

I agree there are bits and pieces of truth preserved in the Bible. For myself, I believe that the 'Good News' that Jesus talked about was the prophecy about the coming of Prophet Muhammad (saaws). This is how I interpret the 'Comforter' or 'Counselor' Jesus spoke about in the Gospel of John.
 
Re: Since I am a Muslim now do I have to throw away my Bible ?

:sl:

I still have my Bible. I still read my Bible. When taken together with the Qur'an, it helps flesh out some details of stories of some of the prophets, not to mention the fact that it also has some good truths and principles for living.

David for example is one of my favorite prophets. He was a skilled warrior and a leader of men, yet humble enough to admit his mistakes. He wrote many of the Psalms in the Bible, and most of them have Islamic principles.

Plus some of the verses are cool to memorize. ;D

If you want to read it in order to give Dawah to Christians, then you can do so.
However, if you want to keep it, while wanting to follow it as well as the Qur`aan, then you should not keep it. Remember, Umar bin Al-Khattab was stronger rebuked by the Prophet [saw] for reading the book of the christians [or jews - i cant remember which book it was].

As muslims, theres no need to go to anything else, the Qur`aan is sufficient. And even if you want to give dawah, personally i would not read the bible. Rather i would read books by Muslims who have refuted the Christians using their own book. You can refer to ibn Taymiyas book, Ahmad Deedat or even Zakir naik and others. Yusha Evans is a very good as well.

Also, with regards to the Prophets, there is this book that I highly recommend by Ibn Kathir. The Stories of the Prophets (Qisas al Anbiya) you can download this in pdf, here:
