    Islam isn't actually racist as such, it's just prejudiced against the Jews.

    And killing one's children is condemned in the Qur'an and ahadith, so I don't think Islam really promotes honour killing. Although granted, it's not a simple issue.

    Does the article say the Quran or Islam promotes these two things?

    All I'm reading is a list of what the Quran does and does not actually condemn.

    Islam is really not racist. It has elements of arab supremacism, but at its core its mostly an egalitarian ideology - among Muslims that is.

    I think while Islam does not necessarily directly legitimize honor killings, it does set the conditions and the stage for it. After all, if you treat women as property then its not too far off before you kill them for not obeying your rules.


    Oh and the article merely states the Quran *DOES NOT* condem racism and honor killings. It never states that the Quran promotes or legitimizes them.

    You missed the title - "What the Koran does not condemn (or disapprove of)

    Not condemning is not equal to promoting.  All it means is that it doesnt say anything about it being wrong.  

    The point being made here, of course, is that Islam often covers the minutest detail of your life, from the clothes you wear, to the food you eat, right through to how to wipe your arse.  Yet it does not say anything against bridal age or slavery (& beating slaves) in 30 books, yet it finds time to repeat some random Pharoahs story ad nauseum.

    If you know enough of the Quran, then another way of debating whether its Gods word is not by what it says, but by what it doesnt say.

    The Offending verse: "On the Day (some) faces will turn white and (some) faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black (to them it will be said), ‘Did you reject faith after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject.’" (Quran 3:106)


    I think it's pretty tenuous to derive some kind of racist sentiment on the part of the Qur'an's author from that verse. Black is pretty much ubiquitously associated with darkness, evil, impurity, sin, etc., so it's not surprising that it's associated with the 'wicked' unbelievers in that verse. Besides, Bilal, one of Muhammad's closest companions, was black. And the following verse is of interest:

    Q. 49:13:

    O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

    Yeah this.

    Islam nurtures the atmosphere of fear, distrust, obedience, and the demonising of dissent, of which 'honour' killings are a symptom.

    i am not defending islam to be clear .... but to condemn something is to prohibit it so if u do honour killing u have directly disobeyed the islamic law ... wether there is an atmosphere or not.

    so it accually did condemn honour killings, by condemning the killing of one's children

    Yes, but as I explained, it's also not a simply issue. Iblis explained it well in saying that while Islam does not explicitly condone or promote honour killing, it can create the right atmosphere for it.

    so if the child commits adultery then ... his parents can kill him ?? i dont think so, u should resort to sharia if u suspect it and measures would be taken by the islamic state

    that i think has nothing to do with honour killings , its a muslim misunderstanding taking measures by themselves (which i think is prohibited in an islamic states), right?... but even if ,then sharia should judge the parent for killing his child right?

    The Cosmic Daddy doesn't follow convention merely in depicting the eternally damned as black. His Excellency will actively change the biology of white people to make them black as a mark of retribution and blacks into white. If you can think of a more ignominious way of expressing contempt for darkies, you can do something I cannot.


    Granted, it's weird that the Qur'an should say such a thing. But I doubt that the author intended any racial prejudice in it. It just looks like a clumsy use of imagery to me.

    Quote from: Mount A Bison on September 30, 2010, 07:46 PM
    To cite this passage as a mark of Islam's commitment to non-racism is the height of polemical desperation. It says nothing about race at all. Going further, if Bilal is admitted into heaven, what does it say about the creed that he will be doing so only as a white guy?


    I think the word 'peoples' is quite obviously referring to different races. And this verse is understood by Islamic exegetes as referring to racial equality among different peoples. E.g., Ibn Kathir's explanation:

    Therefore, all people are the descendants of Adam and Hawwa and share this honour equally. The only difference between them is in the religion that revolves around their obedience to Allah the Exalted and their following of His Messenger. After He forbade back-biting and belittling other people, alerting mankind that they are all equal in their humanity.

    Who said honor killing is only about a parent killing his/her child? As far as I'm aware, honor killings are often perpetrated by the brother or uncle.

    Also, iirc, the Qur'an does promote the death penalty for adultery/fornication, and since honor killings are often directly related to those acts, it could be said the Qur'an gave them the idea in the first place.
