This is just misdirection,a Westerner says he is a slave to football, it is a CHOICE! he willingly makes, same as a monk submits himself to a discipline.
With Islam the point is that there is no CHOICE - ever!

I think it is you making the misdirection and I corrected you. Faith is always a choice and it is you that is whipping up something that is not there.
Even in the UK and you stand up curse God you can be arrested for blasphemy or incitement and it is the same in some Muslim countries. You can loose you faith and carry on with you life but if you stand in the middle of a Mosque you blaspheme you deserve what you get.
This is neither your business or my business but you are selling hate aren't you?
Now don't use deflection in your answer, you hear?
I think he just enjoyed a spot of name calling.
If you have read any of my posts on here you know I have a fairly good understanding of your faith, a huge amount more than most and am well aware of what is Quran and what is man made. Can I just ask why so few normal ordinary Muslim people refuse to publicly to denounce these people giving your faith such a bad name by doing things which are not in the book and basically against the religion.
My in laws have explained about the judging issue and I understand the ethics of it but find the 'they will pay on judgement day' a bit of a get out and totally useless to the poor person about to be beheaded, he needs help then.
Just wondering..

It is my experience that most Muslims understand very little about their own religion
But of course you as a none Muslim know much better about their religion than they do. I suppose it is because you are more intelligent, Western, erudite and a Phd in Comparative World Religions. Please enlighten us some more on your grand experiences on what is in the mind of your average every day Muslim.
SUBMISSION to Islam - not to pick and choose your beliefs and actions as a matter of personal concience.
But complete and utter submission without question to the revealed word of Allah through the Koran - regarded as the complete final and perfect truth for all time.
In other words you a a slave to this system from the moment you are born till the moment you die and beyond - you are owned mind body and soul.
To the extent that you do not fulfill this requirement then you are not a good muslim!

It worries me that people have some semblance of understanding for this radical Islam, to have an understanding for it you have to permit yourself to deny yourself the freedom of speech, the freedom to question, the freedom to disagree with something that is illogical.
Do people really agree that its right for a religion to have the power to kill you because you do not agree with its working, do people think its fine to be be killed for touching a book with your left hand, do people think its fine to be killed for daring to say Allah in anything other than a worshipping way?
If you do then welcome to 1100AD, welcome to practises that were both barbaric and wrong, yes, wrong. People killed because they worshipped and idol and so on and so forth.
That's what you get if Sharia was enforced, think I'm mad, think again.
I have no time for religion for reasons I have explained, I don't begrudge people taking comfort from it like my in laws but when it seeks to limit my freedom I have serious issues with it. If people wish to role play Sharia then be my guest and nip over to area's in Pakistan, she how it works, see if you like it but you won't get a second chance if you make a mistake and I believe most people deserve a second chance.

The fact a poster compared Islam to cancer is disgusting.
I'm sure I recall Heinrich Himmer making similar comments about the Jews.
The fact that post got several stars is even more appalling.

There is a choice, we believe in free will, but fate as well. If we make the wrong choices, we fail this exam called life, and end up in a worse place in the hereafter. However if we make the right choices, that God has ordained, then we will be rewarded for it.
Society and the public is being pushed into a stranglehold, by the TPTB, their aim to make you sell your ideals, sell your beliefs for money, power and worldy possessions.
Muslims will refuse to sell out, and thats what drives this propaganda machine and the war on Islam which is going on in the world.
