no, i am irritated because you do nothing but preach.
i have a low tolerance for preaching. on an islamic site, i expect islamic preaching, so i accept that. if i was interested in christian preaching, why wouldn't i go to a christian forum? why would you come to an islamic forum strictly in order to try to convert muslims? don't you think they could find out about christianity easily enough on other sites?
how do you know that i do not believe in allah?
Snakelegs it is interesting to see your views. Those that preach are seldom aware of the reverse effects preaching has. Yes, the pupose of this forum is to teach the truth of Islam and I will not deny that it is our desire to have people revert to Islam. But, that must always be a persons choice and after enough effort so that it is an informed choice and not based on the charisma of a person. we as Muslims will welcome anyone into our home and we will do our best to explain to them our beliefs. However, we will not enter into another persons home and speak against their belief nor express ours, unless asked to do so.
We do allow differences of opinion here. These differences and our willingness to allow them to be discussed on even an Islamic forum is one of the beauties of Islam.
Every Muslim is a Muslim and remains a Muslim because they do question and do seek verification of the truth.
We do have a responsibility to try to show the truth to those with erroneous beliefs. We do not know what a person's errors are until they say them. It is only then can we address the errors and present to them what we know to be the truth.
The choice is up to them to either accept what we say or to ignore it. But, the main issue is that we know the person is doing so out of their own choice and with awareness of what we believe to be true.
We will not compel anyone to accept Islam, we can only freely offer it as a gift.
Although we do not permit a person to try to proselytize there beliefs on this forum, it is a difficult line to define. Many people do not know how to express their words in a non invasive manner. some understanding has to be allowed for that and for that reason we do have this section. Hopefully we can always keep it as fair comparissions.
It is true this is an Islamic forum and people do come here to learn about Islam, if not to revert, at least to judge for themselves if the stereo types are true.
It is true that if a person does desire to learn about other belifs, there are many sites available for that.
