@"Tom Storm" You can call god what you want in your own language or use a name you feel comfortable with. I'm talking about the god of conscience. Eve...
@"Hanover" You reject people's lived experience and think some academic can top what real Muslims actually feel? As I said before not everything is on...
@"javi2541997" Aristotle believed in God ( prime mover) and Karma ( moral actions having consequences) as did plato. And yes,God has different names i...
@"Tom Storm" Yes of course,many people use "faith" for the unjustifiable and immoral. Just like science is used to make weapons and torture equipment ...
@"javi2541997" You know people had common sense before Aristotle right? And yes,in addition to karma ( cause and effect!) being common sense so is Ide...
@"Yohan" There is lot to be said for your post on Intuition and Gnosis. Said like a true mystic! My one additional but very important point is this. I...
I find it amazing that people want to go the epistemic justification route,when the infinite regress occurs with JTB! Plato already told you their is ...
@"Yohan" Of course it depends on one's concept of God. Religions do not seperate God from morality or vice versa With Karma how would you say it got e...

@"Tate" When I get the opportunity I try to explain to people that Muslims in general are not violent,nor do many even listen to their imams. To many ...

@"Hanover" There are two points here,but related. First,as I said fatwas are not universally binding or accepted by all Muslims. Many Shiah clerics do...
@"Baden" You are speaking to a Muslim here,and one who has condemned the attack on rushdie,and ALL public calls for political violence. I'm trying to ...
@"baker" Raises some very telling observations. The "law" is used arbitrarily by nation states when it suits their political and economic agendas. Fla...
Thank you. Defamation of Muhammed is considered insulting by many orthodox Muslim scholars. As for the average Muslim,I think many are not happy with ...
