But I would say that the radical and extreme is visible and the non radical and extreme is not
It’s an evaluation full of wisdom.
So that one can easily get the false impression that all there is, is the radical and extreme.
Yeah, one can. But the stakeholders of this radical position do not see the opinion as extreme rather a representation of their rights.
Balance is the most difficult thing to attain.
Christians themselves believe that the Bible is the best guidance and the ultimate truth for the whole mankind.
Well, being a Muslim I also do believe that the Bible was once the best guidance and the ultimate truth until it was contaminated by the words of creation, the man.
On the other hand, despite passing 14 centuries, there is no contamination of the words of anyone in the Qur’an.
The Arabic Qur’an is preserved in its original form.
Suppose all the copies of both the Qur’an and the Bible get erased from the face of the earth. Would it be possible for anyone to reproduce the Bible exactly the same without any doubt?
For Qur’an, the thing is that its exact copy can be reproduced with surety. It is because, Allah (the God) has made the way of preserving Quran via memorization.
Memorization of a book as it is, not by one but by millions, is itself miraculous, isn’t it? It is a sign of Divine intervention.
There are several other reasons for believing Qur’an to be the ultimate truth.
Well, I am deviating from the main point of the here conversation. Let me return to your reply.
The art of living and of facing conflicts is, in my view, to navigate this dilemma, is being able to accept to stay within that space of tension. Without freaking out, if you know what I mean.
I think I don’t know. I would love to get an explanation.
if a Muslim does that, it’s the Muslims to correct that kind of action and if a Christian does it, it’s for the Christians to correct him
I agree 💯
Since Christian nations accommodate many non Christians, they gained the image of being tolerant places. A Muslim, for example, can come to Germany and live here and still practice his religion, since we have freedom of religion. I guess, that would not be as easy where you live?
Now that’s a long discussion.
Yeah, in the present era, we see the Christian nations to be more tolerant. However, there was a time in the history when Christians, after taking over them, treated Muslims really brutally. Thousands of them were killed and the remaining were converted to Christianity by force.
So how long this tolerance will continue, we don’t know.
So far as the things at my place are concerned, minorities are living in peace here. But !LOLZ one sect of Muslims is after another to the extent of declaring them non-believers.
I do admit that we have less tolerance with regards to theological issue. (We are intolerant in general 😉).
But the thing is that if we are following the wrong path, it doesn’t at all means that the teachings of Islam are incorrect. If we look at the teachings directly from the life of the preacher, prophet Muhammad, we find complete security and tolerance for non-Muslims.
Once a group of Christian scholars came to the prophet. He made them stay in the mosque Al Nabvi, The house for Muslim's worship.
Funny enough, the situation has now become, among Muslims, we do not tolerate a person of one sect in the mosque of other sect.
Yeah, that is why we have the saying that "don't preach water and drink wine". I would be interested if you have something similar in your sayings.
We have a Quranic verse
“O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do.”
If such cases become a tendency, then a trend and then overreach the whole of the peoples lifestyles, it becomes a huge problem, or can be perceived as such.
Unfortunately.
Thanks for taking your time to give your insights.
Have a blessed life ❤️❤️
