  • We are looking to start an Islamic website, any suggestions?

    My friend purchased the website Researchislam.com, we still havent set it up yet!

    We are looking for ideas to make this website really pop out.

    Any suggestions are fine. We are not looking for actual content, like topics to write about. We are looking to fill a niche, so we are looking for a general outline.

    Maybe things you thought other Islamic Websites lacked. It is going to initially be in English.

    Thank and Salam wa alakoum

  • Why are there so many sexual references in the bible?

    Just to name a few:

    "Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled."Ezekial 23: 19-21

    If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates. His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me.Solomon 8:1-3

    Lot has sex with his daughters after they get him drunk for the purpose of becoming pregnant in Genesis 19:30-36.

    The sin of Onan (Genesis 38:8-10), which is often misinterpreted as masturbation, was coitus interruptus or withdrawal. He was also violating the duty of Yibbum. Onan was struck down and killed by God because he "spilt his seed upon the ground" while he had a duty to impregnate his brother's wife (to whom he was brother-in-law).

    Genesis 38:13-24 tells the story of Tamar trading sex with Judah for ownership of a goat.

    Second Samuel 11:3-5 describes David with Bathsheba and his act of adultery with her. "3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, 'Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?' 4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, 'I am with child'"

    Excerpts from Song of Solomon:

    My lover is mine and I am his;

    he browses among the lilies.

    Your two breasts are like two fawns,

    like twin fawns of a gazelle

    that browse among the lilies.

    My lover thrust his hand through the latch-opening;

    my heart began to pound for him.

    I arose to open for my lover,

    and my hands dripped with myrrh,

    my fingers with flowing myrrh,

    on the handles of the lock.

    I am my lover's and my lover is mine;

    he browses among the lilies.

    Your breasts are like two fawns,

    twins of a gazelle.

    Your stature is like that of the palm,

    and your breasts like clusters of fruit.

    I said, "I will climb the palm tree;

    I will take hold of its fruit."

    May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine,

    the fragrance of your breath like apples...

    NOT TO MENTION INCEST:

    i mentioned the Lot story above

    In one of the tales of a wife confused for a sister, Abraham claims that his wife Sarah is also his half-sister, on his father's side[22]. However, in the rabbinic literature, Sarah is considered Abraham's niece (the daughter of his brother, Haran).

    In Genesis 38, Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, mistakes his daughter-in-law Tamar for a prostitute while she is veiled, and has sex with her.

    The biblical character Amram married his paternal aunt, Jochebed, the mother of Aaron and Moses.

    In the Books of Samuel, Amnon, King David's eldest son and heir to the throne, rapes his beautiful half-sister Tamar; Tamar's brother, Absalom, learns of the incident and, two years later, orders his servants to have Amnon killed.

    WHATS THE DEAL???? Sounds like penthouse!!

    Dont you think that the Bible might contain changes made by regular people, rather than being the absolute word of God. Im not saying the Bible is all wrong!! But I am saying that people have meddled with it.

    IF U STILL STAND BY IT< THEN TELL ME WHY ALL THESE SEX REFERENCES ARE IN THE BIBLE?

  • Why do Christians say we are born sinners?

    I was debating with a Pastor and he said that humans are born sinners and that we need Jesus to cleanse our sins. What I don't understand is how an Innocent infant or child is considered a sinner before they are even able to know any better.

    He said we inherited the sins of our father Adam, when he ate from the tree. HUH!!

    I then gave him the following scenario, what if my dad committed a murder in New York while I was in LA and had absolutely nothing to do with his actions. Would it be OK for the government to put me in jail just so that they can pin for the crime, seeing that my father committed the crime? of course not! so if its unfair for humans to do, then how can the fairest of all (God) be able to associate us with something we never did. I never saw, tasted, smelled, or touched the apple he ate.

    Just because my dad is a criminal doesn't mean i am

    or just because my dad is doctor doesn't mean I am.

    He couldn't answer me, he then shut off my microphone and began to call me ignorant in front of 100 people.

    I believe that we are all born pure and that we choose to sin, not the other way around. Otherwise there would be no inner good in anyone. the goodness that we see people for would just be false and made up.

    IM NOT CHRISTIAN. if you are going to answer, please stay on topic. with none of that god is love stuff, I want reasoning and not feel good phrases.

  • Why Do Christians Believe Jesus Is a God?

    its really plain and simple. If Jesus was god, then there would have been mention of him with every previous prophet before him. They would have all said Jesus is the son of God, lets worship them. But the truth is Abraham, Moses, David, and others never mentioned any other God then the One and Almighty himself. No one Before him or After him.

    Would a GOD be inside the womb of a girl (mary)?

    Would a GOD come out of the vagina of a girl along with feces and bodily fluids?

    Would a GOD need to eat and Drink?

    If you eat and Drink then you surely poop and pee?

    And if you do those, then you surely need to wipe and clean yourself!

    Would a GOD need to wipe and clean? Isnt a god clean and pure?

    Would a GOD be killed and tortured by his creations? Usually tyrants are killed and tortured by their subjects?

    Can a GOD be killed?

    If you look at the history of Christianity, you begin to notice missing links. Like how apostle Paul never met Jesus. yet he was able to contribute largely to the writting of the bible and was one of the main spreaders of Christianity. Or the changes Constantine main to the religion.

    Look up similarities between Jesus and Pagan Gods like Krishna and mithras and more. these Pagan religions and ideologies were around for hundreds of years before Jesus ever existed.
