actually you are wrong. Your own God tell you in the book you claim to understand
" So ask of those who know the Scripture [learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know not."
What is the actual context of that Ayah, DigDug?
Why don't you look at the tafsir of the ayah? "allah" tells us that we are supposed to ask the scholars if we don't know something.
Do I need to ask the scholars of the Torah and New Testament if I have my own copies of both? Was He talking to me or to the illiterate Arabs of the 8th Century who did not know the Torah and New Testament by heart?
No. you are wrong you are not doing your best. you are sticking your head in the sand because you don't like what the people who actually understand the religion (scholars) have to tell you.
Let me explain something to you so you will understand the nature of our current argument from my point of view: You are an unrepentant Transgressor of the Faith of Al-Islam who, according to the Qur'an, will experience a pain so great on the
Day of Judgment, it is likened to burning in a lake of fire for all of eternity. One of the ways you got to that point is the way in which you have studied the religion you were supposed to be following and the conclusions your particular mind decided to come to about it, and you honestly think that I, as a God-fearing Muslim, am going to take ANYTHING that you say as some kind of at-face-value truth about Islam? I really don't care about 1.) your opinions about Islam 2.) your opinions about the "true nature" of "correct scholarship" in Islam 3.) your opinions about how I live my Islam.
I suggest you not continue along in that way. Everything you personally think about Islam will send me to hell, so I am not taking anything you say as a truth or something I should aspire to emulate.
I'm a bigoted arab because I accused you of not being able to read the quran because you don't understand arabic? That makes total sense.
No, I accused you of having the traits of a bigoted Arab because you said, "I find it hilarious that you consider yourself a learned man of the scripture..." because I'm not fluent in Arabic. Implying that I'm not allowed to read or learn anything from the interpretations at all.
You should definitely try to be a muslim but you shouldn't try and tell the scholars they don't understand the quran when you CANNOT EVEN READ IT YOURSELF.
Tell me: the ancient Muslim scholar who proclaimed the world was flat.
Could he speak fluent Arabic and read the Qur'an in its original state?
