Check this out.. it went down like this...
My wife and I were at the bookstore Barnes and Noble. We were sitting down reading some books, when my wife got up to go look for another book. On her way back to where we were sitting, a man, in the aisle next to me, stopped her, and from my chair I could hear their conversation...
First he asked my wife some basic questions, like was she a Muslim, what mosque does she attend, so on and so forth. Then he asked her what the difference was between Islam and Christianity. And she said something about in Islam we only have messengers, but we they are not partners of God. He took issue with this, and he went to go get a Qu'ran because he thought the Qu'ran said Muhammad was a vessel of God or something like that.
So then my wife comes and sits back down next to me. The guy comes back, and when he comes around the corner and see's me there sitting next to my wife, he is suprised, and dissapointed.
He continues to look through the Qu'ran but can't find what he was looking for because it didn't exist.
I invite him kindly to have a seat and talk to us, but he refuses to sit down. So I get up out of my chair and try to sit at a chair closer to him so we can communicate. He then sits next to my wife in the chair that I was sitting in.
We discuss back and forth in relation about Satan, and I show him a few verses in the Qu'ran regarding Satan. He starts to warm up to me, but then it's like he remembered "Ohh I'm supposed to hate these people." So then he changes the subject and talks about women being oppressed, but my wife handled that question.
He says something about all religion being based on faith. I responded him that my religion is based upon worshipping the Creator of the Universe, and that it is a matter of knowledge and conviction. Anyway, he got really mad at this point and started yelling out loud, "Jesus is God", "Jesus is God".
Anyway, apparantly this whole time these little girls and their mother were sitting on the other side of the room, eyesdropping. Next thing I know a cop comes around the corner with his hand on a gun. When he see's us, he let's go of the gun, and his tension is immediately alleviated. He then addresses me saying, "Ohhh, hey sorry, I got a call that a guy fitting your description (thobe, black jacket, and kufi) was drunk and harrasing other customers." I was just suprised so I asked him if he was kidding, and he felt embarrased and he walked away shortly thereafter.
Anyway, I tried to finish my conversation with this Christian guy. He told me that he also believed that God was one, and I told him then why do you have the trinity (dividing God into three). He also told me that Jesus was God, and I told him that God doesn't have to go to the bathroom, I told him that got is the Creator and he doesn't exist inside his creation. He got angry again at this point, so I decided to get up and buy him a drink (a lemonade) to calm him down. He refused my drink and said he wouldn't except my pity (whatever that means).
He then said that he could tell I was a good person, and that he thought I was a person of God. But then, like before, he remembered in his head 'ohh yeah, I'm supposed to hate these people.'
So next he questions me, saying things like, "Do you love your religion so much you would kill someone. Is it true that your God tells you to kill people?" I explained that in the Qu'ran Allah teaches self-defense, and that Allah gives us the permission to fight against oppression. Check this out... just shortly after questioning me upon violence, he then gets so angry, he says, "You better be careful, because you are sitting in between America and Russia and we are 2 billion and you are 1 billion and we have the power to destroy all of you, you better watch out, we are going to nuclear bomb the crap out of all of you!!"
-I told him he had it all wrong, and I told him calm down, and asked him again to come sit next to me. The store was closing, my wife was getting irratated so she got up to leave, this man went walking off yelling something about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus... my wife and I walked out and saw a couple of police cars right outside. We went to are car and went home. In the car, my wife and I thought we suspected the woman with her kids for calling the cops on us, because the media has trained them to be suspicious and paranoid of Muslims. We also thought that the cop made up the part about me being drunk, just to justify his religious profiling.

Compare the number of Christians beheaded to the number of Muslims bombed on in Iraq.
I don't understand how people can have this assumption that an American life is more valuable than an Iraqi one... if an Iraqi beheads an American, it's cruel, savage, etc... but if an American kills an entire Iraqi family, it's "collateral damage/understandable casualty of war"

No 1s life is more important than another even if its christian or muslim. People believe in diffrent things and i respect anyone with religion even if i dont believe in the same religion as them. Not all christians are like that and its a shame u had 2 encounter something like that.

The difference is pretty clear.

You're right... the fact that innocent people die doesn't matter... what matters is the manner in which they're killed.
Western government sponsored bombs = CIVILIZED
Beheading = SAVAGE

The fuck are you talking about? Please explain, how the Iraqi lives are less valuable and are justified deaths?

LOL. Props for the laugh.

yeah, if this is all true, then the guy you talked to @ the bookstore is a complete idiot

Infinite; what is your infatuation with God taking a shit or not taking a shit? You bring it up so often. If God wants to take a shit he's going to take a shit and you can't stop him. Stop trying to explain and rationalize everything. You belive this, others believe that; end of story.
I don't expect an answer since you constantly avoid me. Of course I may be the only one on Earth who gets approached by relgion pushers on street corners (Jehovah's Witnesses, Born Again Christians, and Muslims) and won't leave them alone. It's funny watching them try to find an excuse them to not talk to me. You'd think they'd have thousands since that's all most people give them.
-
IIf God wants to take a shit he's going to take a shit and you can't stop him.
Amen.

I'm happy I don't go to places where this bullshit can happen.

Liberal White people love feeling marginalized or oppressed. Makes them feel like they're somehow less full of shit than others.

In a world where profit is the be all and end all, and everyone is a potential commodity to be exploited, if you don't fit the norm, your liable to encounter prejudice in one form or another... Racial, religious, class.... Its all so superficial, except we regard ourselves superior or inferior depending on environment, culture, economic standing or just a plain old complex.... Inequality exists in all facets of the community, usually due to a lack of understanding, lack of respect or lack of intelligence... I live in a redneck town, that, although its multicultural, and there is a small Islamic community, the majority of non Muslims practice an Ill educated prejudice toward Islamic ideologies because the only exposure they have to the religion is what they see on the news, which is predominantly negative and does not articulate the actual beliefs and customs of the majority of people who practice Islam as their faith.... When I lived in Hawthorn, the local church had a sign out the front that stated "Jesus loves Osama Bin Laden" which was a controversial topic, but actually disposes the myth that Christians are supposed to be anti Islam... Muslims recognise the Christian prophets but Christians don't recognise The Last Prophet (pbuh).... Then you've got Christians waiting on the second coming of Christ, but if you walked round stating you were Jesus reincarnate you'd be locked up in a psych ward or considered a cult leader.... Who's right, who's wrong? Acceptance of differences in faith and a desire and willingness to educate oneself about that which you are ignorant of, bar the stereotypes is the only way that racial, religious and social profiling and prejudice can be eradicated...
And a determination to expose the ignorant sons of dogs that practice it.... We need our politicians to set the example by upholding the laws which are supposed to protect people from experiencing such practices... That recent shooting at the "Draw a picture of Muhammad" competition, never would have happens if the people that organized the event had true respect for free speech, rather than disrespecting the rights of another by blasphemously disrespecting another's right to practice his faith.... Free speech should not encourage one to degrade another's beliefs, rather, it should encourage open and respectful dialogue about differences that are an obstacle to freedoms.... But people get so egotistical and self righteous that they demean and exploit the same laws that were passed in an effort to give proper exposure to issues of oppression and prejudice that prevent us all from experiencing the true beauty of equality....
