That is insulting. May be native arabic speaker can explain.
Abd, written in Arabic as
عبد , means a slave or a servant.
The actual word for a slave, whether white, brown, black or yellow, is Raqeeq
رقيق , but you will not find this word in Qur'aan.
All the slaves and servants were called by their names. For example, Bilal was a slave and people called him by that name.
Regarding a slave or a servant of God, one has to add Allah's name to Abd to make it Abdullah.
So, if I have to show that Jesus was a Slave of Allah, he would be called as Jesus Abdullah.

Hello bmz, picking one of dozen synonyms and jumping for joy because it does not exist in the koran is not valid. The assertion that 'rakik' is the only word that is used for slave is wrong.
Particularly that word is not used in spoken arabic and very rarely in ancient written arabic.
As for the word Abd. It has few uses. It can mean "Abd Allah", or it can mean My abd.
For you BMZ, I am going to pass you this very lovely poem that Arabs passed down the generations to their kids until it made it to my virgin ears and now, you get to enjoy it as well:
"Wa la Tashtaria Al Abda Illa Wal Assa Maahu..
Inna Al Abda LaSahikun, Ghadaru."
"Do not buy the abd unless a stick comes with him..
Because the Abd has erased honor, is Backstabbing."
It takes about Seven years for the cycle of islam to pass its course. Your time is coming up bmz, hope your friends and family are prepared to accept your new choices in life.
Well, you are an Arab and Arabs have messed up the world. You take care of your kids and I hope you were not recited that poem. I hope you have also not recited it to your kids.
I am not an Arab, so I don't care.
Now, what is all that about the Seven year cycle of Islam? Can you elaborate? What is the wishful thinking of yours and what do you think will happen to me, my friends and family?
May I ask this: Why most of the ex-Muslims still remain violent, retaining the same mindset and go quickly into Maulana Mode, without any reason? I had only explained a simple point to the lady. What irritated you?
BMZ
Excellent, and next time before talking about subjects you do not understand and words you do now know, ask you arabic master first.
As fo arabs screwing the world. Guilty as charged. Judaism. Christianity. As well as their bastard child islam. You do not like how the arabs screwed the world, why do you follow them? what good they will give you? 57 islamic country in the world, which one did better once islam moved in? which one became better as people became more religious? cut the crap, let is go already and stop supporting hate. You are an engineer, people will listen to you, people will trust you. the Arab puck should stop at you. It should not move past you.
It is imperative to answer the questions put to you. Once you have done that, you can ask other questions.
You have not answered my questions, Baal.
Answer those questions, first!
BMZ
BMZ, you are confusing red herrings with quetions again.
Baal, when will you get out of FFI Mode?
FFI does not hold a monopoly on logic and reason, unfortunately you insist on holding the monopoly over the same Three of Four logical fallacies. It makes you seem very boring. You do not even bother to vary the fallacies just for the sake of keeping me interested.
Please answer the questions:

You have not answered yet.

Here you go eng.BMZ making Red Herrings again: forming an accusation against people, just to avoid discussing the original blumber you committed at your entrance statement.
Ex-muslims did not commit over 12000 terrorist act since 9/11. Ex-muslims did not kill people who complimented the prophet. Ex-muslims did not honor kill their daughtes. Ex-muslims do not sit wondering if their non-muslim friends will burn in hell. Ex-muslims do not have the need to slit the throat and poison the throats of their jewish friends just to guarantee a place in Jannat.
Till next time eng.BMZ and I hope you learn from your mistakes.
In Canada our engineers have an iron ring on their pinky. Once some of our engineers screwed up a design, and a bridge being built fell killing workers. From the iron of this bridge, they now make those rings, commonly referred to as the 'incompetence ring'. Every engineer is meant to wear this ring, as a reminder how much he is responsible for those who depend on him.
When you, eng.BMZ, fail to detect flaws, when you fail to detect and alert about a failing (failed) system, what chance do those who depend on you have, to detect the failures on their own.
