I love Christians. The Quran says that the closes people to you muslims are the Christians. We are friends when we belive in the same God. There is one God. We are monotheists, supposed to be.

Tall man. I mean that you bow to Allah. And that I belive actually that Atheists are 50% muslims. Becausee the Islamic creed is: "There is no God" and " except Allah".

It also says that Christians and others have modified the word, and Islam supersedes these faiths.

Hehe ... were in trouble.

So we have 50% "wood". We want to make a fire together. Do we quit?

Perhaps, wholly original and not incorporating previous faiths, would be a better description of what these faiths are not.

The point I made was simple: Baháʾuʾlláh (Bahāʾ Allāh), peace be upon Him, did not combine different religions into Baháʾí Faith. The history of the Baháʾí Faith is firmly grounded in the Iṯnā ʾAšarī, or Twelver, branch of Šīʾī ("Shi'ih") Islām. The Baháʾí Sacred Texts are clearly rooted in Islāmic history. The Baháʾí Faith is an "Islāmicate" religion:

Quote:

‘Islamdom’ is ... the society in which the Muslims and their faith are recognized as prevalent and socially dominant .... Sometimes the phrase ‘the Islamic world’ is used much in this sense....

... The adjective ‘Islamic’ ... must be restricted to ‘of or pertaining to Islam’ .... Unfortunately, there seems to be no adjective in use for ... the society or culture of Islamdom [the Islāmic world].... I have been driven to invent a term, ‘Islamicate’.... [It] would refer ... to the social and cultural complex historically associated with Islam and the Muslims, both among Muslims themselves and even when found among non-Muslims.

Why, is this discussion exclusive only to you and those who you are talking to?

I feel like I've been bashed now and I'm not even a religious person.

Do not despair, the messiah is amongst us and he has lightened our hearts and opened our minds... we are now 50% Muslim and 50% wood.

I didn't realise that religion could evoke such strong emotions in people. I thought it was just a load of hippies praying.

It isn't, but it is about the topic of why Islam is bashed and Christianity loved, and related.

I was goign to say exactly there same thing of wrek (but thought better of it due to tact), as he was going on about personal attributes at one point, which isn't relevant to this discussion.

I suggest you start your own discussion so you can discuss this.

The discussion is on why a faith would be bashed.

Never underestimate the power of religion to stir up strong emotions... to the point of brutality, killing and war all done in its name.
