Thank you for the Jihad explanation, it could be simplified into internal Jihad and external Jihad no?I can relate to the Jihad anafs (internal) more than the "external" form but that is just me and I haven't felt the hand of oppression which might justify an external Jihad.My own knowledge of Islam as a religion is somewhat limited, I do own The Qur'an and have read sections of it but not the entire book.I have several muslim friends that I always have fruitful conversations with and I do feel a kindred spirit amongst us.That said I have had one very strong experience with the prophet Muhammad (G_d's peace be upon his soul) that made me respect him:I was laying in bed contemplating some religious/spiritual matter and my mind went to thinking of the prophet.When it did I could feel his presence and spirit: and it was very strong and positive.It was a special moment and one that filled me with gratitude.Peace be upon those that read this.

why is it interesting?no i dont live in norway.
Religion - The oldest form of population control ever invented. "If you don't live by these rules, you will spend an eternity in hell" as most of them goes.... Fortunately science has been able to debunk a lot of religion truths and myths over the century's. Thunder, which was once thought as gods anger, can now be explained rationally and scientifically. That's why religion is losing it's grip today, not because of society not caring, but because people can now see past the BS. Islam is peaceful but it doesn't conform to Western ideals so it will continue to be demonized as a religion of hate, violence and terror. There is no one wishing the world to catch fire. Simply people trying to control, and others resisting. Islamic nations will never submit, so they must be cleansed (according to a former CIA operative)
There is no one wishing the world to catch fire. Simply people trying to control, and others resisting.

TI believe in God first of all & respect your right of believing in whatever you want so long as it's not forced upon others & doesn't cause loss, harm or injury (ie common law).I know a few muslims and do listen to debates between muslims & non-muslims and try think critically with an open mind for both sides.

My apoligies. I called you something which you are not.Not that atheist are not good, I know a lot good atheist. That said, you should not ask those questions 2 a lay men or on a Internet forum where we want soundbites.In a few sentences an answer.When you have a medical condition do you go 2 a qualified Dr. Or you just ask 4 advise through a forum or someone who just read a book on medicine?I advised you 2 go to an knowledgable Imam. And begin a conversation with him about the subjects you just mentioned.Don't worry he will answer you and if not.. Go 2 someone else.
People believe what they want. Me being atheist doesn't mean I support anything bad. I'm far more open to the belief of the Annunaki than religion any day of the week. Given the mystery surrounding the advanced methods unmistakably used in the construction of pyramids around the globe, and the engineering expertise in ancient times, the knowledge of our solar system, it's evident people in ancient times had an advanced knowledge and assistance from somewhere to know and do these things. To the common man, and to the masses - pyramids are nothing more than structural tombs for former kings, but to those with engineering backgrounds they see their use as nuclear power stations, and spiritual beings see them as portal passages or some form of field creation. I don't dispute any of those theories because we don't know!!!What I do believe is that ALL religions are a farce, and that there are religious leaders today being paid handsomely to control huge portions of the global population and to exercise their interpretation of their religious rules to their collection of mystified servants to manipulate and exploit for their own agenda (or their masters agenda)Do we need religion? Isn't "treating all living things with respect" enough?

seriously tho. all this effort directed towards some "my religion is better than yours" bullshit should be directed towards making this world a better place.i grew up catholic myself and i got no bitterness towards it at all eventho there are some things i disagree with, buti do get sick of the hypocrasy and hatred it creates.
