  • The most ridiculous aspect of Islam
     OP - September 03, 2012, 08:54 AM

    18:106: "That is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers."

    Since we're all going to hell because God is so merciful and forgiving and kind, at least let's have a good reason to be sent there.  Wink

    This is simple, give us the aspect of Islam that you found to be the most ridiculous of all

    To me it's the part about not facing Mecca while taking a piss/shit. And that your ass and penis should not be facing Mecca either. I only heard about this recently, but when I did... what a laugh   Cheesy

    Your turn!  Smiley

    You are absolutely right., indeed it says "people who mock Islam are destined for Hell"

    But what is new in that., I am sure such similar statements we can find OT or NT .. Quran is like a old wine in new bottle

    But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the LORD was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.....2 Chronicles 36:16


    Now stop your mocking, or your chains will become heavier; the Lord, the LORD Almighty, has told me of the destruction decreed against the whole land
    ...Isaiah 28:22

    This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty......Zephaniah 2:10

    "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap." ... Galatians 6:7 

    I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. ..........Revelation 22:18-19 


    glad to read your 4 posts Infinity .. You come from such a beautiful place on earth .. what on earth makes you to visit this den and how did you find out CEMB?

    Context DEFINITELY matters in this case. You have absolutely taken this verse out of context.


    The moment we say., Context matters on the words that come out of Allah, then the book, the verses and the Quran is no more for all times and no more valid to day. it means "it is revealed for specific time in a give specific event"

    Anyways to figure out context  of that verse one has to read 5 or 6 verses around that 18:106

    Quote
    018.102: What! do then those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants to be guardians besides Me? Surely We have prepared hell for the entertainment of the unbelievers.

    018.103: Say: Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in (their) deeds?

    018.104: (These are) they whose labor is lost in this world's life and they think that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands.

    018.105: These are they who disbelieve in the communications of their Lord and His meeting, so their deeds become null, and therefore We will not set up a balance for them on the day of resurrection.

    018.106: That is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers

    018.107: Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, their place of entertainment shall be the gardens of paradise,

    018.108: Abiding therein; they shall not desire removal from them.

    018.109: Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would surely be consumed before the words of my Lord are exhausted, though We were to bring the like of that (sea) to add


    these verses were apparently revealed in Mecca  way before Islam became a war machine..   So the context of that verse come right out of the bible stories...

    Hey yeezevee!

    I found this a few months ago, I think I was watching ExMuslimNFree's videos on Youtube. But only yesterday did I subscribe because I wanted to discuss with people who did believe in Islam and have rejected it. Those persons are really rare. I know a lot of people who don't believe in Algeria, but none of them really knows about Islam, because they didn't practice it. I wanted to meet people who really knew Islam, without trying to convert me. And this is the perfect place I think :p

    Anyway. I don't really understand your point.

    The Quran brings almost nothing that wasn't already in the Bible, I'm well aware of that.
    But it still makes the claim that whoever mocks it gets to enter hell, doesn't it? So from what I understand, you're saying that this verse was only adressed to people who lived in the time of Muhammad? And that in the 21st century we can now mock islam without being tortured forever afterwards?

    I mean, this message is meant to be timeless isn't it?

    The funny thing is, I only added this verse in the beginning as a sort of joke...

    Not so much ridiculous, but if I had to come up with a simple way to show god claims fail it's this:
    That Allah is all knowing. It is impossible to be all knowing. This is impossible because nothing could know if it knows everything. It could believe it knows everything, but it is impossible to know unknown unknowns.
    Therefor, an all knowing god is false, stupid, or lying if it claims to be all knowing.

    I considered many stuff weird in Islam especially the left hand phobia, I am left handed and my grandmother would always insist that i eat with my right hand because the left hand is not that good or whatever, entering mosques with ur right foot and stuff like that.

    I mean if u think about it, it is all ridiculous, why should u wash to pray? why does it matter? why should u stand up and sit down and bow down when u pray, can't u just simply sit down or stand up and pray.

    Islamic rituals do have the power to make a college going fun loving dancing girl like    Aminat Kurbanova  that you see down here



    Quote
    Aminat Kurbanova graduated from Dagestan State University’s drama school in Makhachkala and went on to work in the city’s Russian-language Gorky Theater. Then she converted to Islam and blew herself up.


    In to ..in to a Burkh covered deadly Islamci weapon like this one



    Quote
    Black Widow bomber was trained actress and dancer. She blew up this week.  The Moscow Times reported:

        The female suicide bomber that killed prominent Dagestani cleric Said Atsayev earlier this week had been a theater actress and member of a breakdance troupe before joining the republic’s Islamist movement, national media reported Thursday.

        Aminat Kurbanova, born with the ethnic Russian surname Saprykina, graduated from Dagestan State University’s drama school in Makhachkala and went on to work in the city’s Russian-language Gorky Theater, Kommersant reported, citing an unspecified law enforcement source.

        Together with her first husband, fellow actor Marat Kurbanov, she also was a member of a local breakdance ensemble that called itself “Snatch,” the report said.

        A number of videos of Snatch performances are available on YouTube, but none show female participants.

        A video published by the Lifenews.ru tabloid website showed a woman resembling Kurbanova performing a classical dance with a man at an unidentified location.

        Reports said Kurbanova converted to Islam after marriage and became a member of Dagestan’s radical Islamist insurgency after her husband was killed in an anti-terrorism operation in 2009.

        Kurbanova subsequently married twice, and her last husband, Magomed Ilyasov, died when handling a self-made bomb, the state-run RIADagestan.ru news site reported.

        Ilyasov is suspected of organizing a double suicide attack that killed two policemen and injured almost 30 in the Dagestani town of Gubden in February 2011. The two bombers were later identified as Vitaly Razdobudko and his wife Maria Khoroshyova, thought to be the first ethnic Slavs to carry out suicide attacks.

        Investigators had put Kurbanova on a list of potentially dangerous persons last year, and she was erroneously thought to be a participant in a twin suicide car bomb that killed at least 13 people and wounded over 100 in Makhachkala this May, the Kommersant report said.

     That is about that deadly Suicide bombing that took place last year  on  Russian train    That is from last week Moscow times..


    Anyways., i am glad you found this  site and I am glad to read your posts..

    with best wishes

    That a woman should wear a hijab to pray in her own house even when no men are around, because you know, allah who can see everything, has clearly never been horrified by her hair.

    That questioning is wrong because it leads to a loss of faith.  Cheesy

    I think the most shocking one for me in my research was also like Berb said a question of faith was the devil influencing you to lead you astray.  (proof of Islam's insecurity) Christians and Jews (at least the ones I've met) dare you to question their beliefs because at least they have confidence to defend it as the truth.

    Also the devil peeing in your ear at night.  And anything Jinn related idiot2

    Its the message it sends. You can always find some imam who will wriggle out of it by saying this is not what Islam teaches but it does symbolise just how great the coercive pressures that Islam places on individuals not to dissent are. The fear is benchmarked to Islam's benefit, because it stifles dissent.

    ^ Absolutely. Due to this, apostates are invariably compelled to (be seen to) remain in the faith. Which makes a nonsense of the whole ‘no compulsion in religion’ ayat in the qur’an.
