Please explain verses 5 :20 and 5 :21 of your Koran . It is my understanding that it discusses how God gave the land they are on to them and I am speaking of the land God promised them in the Torah .
Do you wish to discuss my faith or my beliefs? As I believe that discussion would be outside the scope of this thread and hence off topic. Perhaps the OP would not appreciate a complete derailment of his thread, and it appears to be against forum policy?

100% fact..West Bank use to be called Judea.Muslim world would not know this with their leaders terrible education and hatred of jews.
100% fact, what the Jews have done to the Palestinian people is the same as what the Europeans did to the Native Americans, if you think genocide and the slaughter of innocent people who have lived on a land for 1000's of years for the purpose of 'owning' their land is morally right then you might not be able to consider right from wrong in an appropriate and socially moral construct.

I was looking for your interpretation of those verses because they seem to be in line with the original OP and I just wanted to say that you are correct that God chose each one of us to be at our places in life to suit his needs . God gave us free will to chose to love him or not and we both agree that Satan has tried to derail Gods plan . I am firm in my faith to death if need be and this old tired body will welcome it when it comes . Not all of us were given eyes to see or ears to hear so keep on searching all the scriptures for the truth.

TextWe are both firm in our faith. I will die in mine, and you in yours. I do not like to debate religion, at all, it is taught against in my religion because it causes disease in the heart. Practicing religion is what is valued, and doing our best in this life, and seeking forgiveness for our faults and shortcomings. I am sure you would agree. That said, if I get into exegesis of the Holy Quran it is not simple, and you will have many questions and there will be many things you will not understand. It is not a forum debate either, and I will not go against my religion and open topics with someone who more than likely does not seek an understanding of my beliefs, but rather is desirous of attempting to convince me of theirs. Such a topic holds no value for either one of us

So, I'm interpreting your answer as "no" unless your Imam says otherwise.
Am I correct?

That is correct. Until HIS (atfs) reappearance.
Which of course we all pray for everyday, because His reappearance means an end to injustice and oppression and tyranny. But until then we are not allowed under sharia law to participate in offensive jihad, only self defense is allowed.edit on 3-3-2012 by Jameela because: (no reason given)

So how will you know of HIS (atfs) true appearance?
Suppose someone just wanted to usurp the role?
The reason why I ask is basically, you're saying nope. We won't kill/attack/invade until the big guy says so.
Now THAT wouldn't concern me, until you said that you're looking towards his return.
So you won't kill us infidels, unless your guy returns and says to.
. . . . . . . . . . . Do you get yet why there might be an issue with Islam? Why we might be a wee bit concerned?

Is the return prophesized?
Is this a done deal then?

I appreciate your candor, your honesty.
But how can we, in the west, have a trusting relationship when (at the call) you will turn and attack/invade and usurpt our way of life?

Do the Jews not hold to the same type of a belief in their Messiah? Yes in fact they do. If you are afraid of our prophecies why not then be afraid of theirs? Prophecy is just that, it is prophecy, everyone on the planet thinks we are close to the end of something, but until it ends we must all live in it do you not agree? Why not agree on the principles of life and good moral conduct with one another rather than unsubstantiated fear?
