T @ r ! Q:
I was expecting this from you, Islam is a way of life not the tools we use. i told you its hard....keep trying
Arabic is not a hard language, u can learn it if you want. Arabic is prefered because that is the language the original Quran was in, and translations are human.
Poirot:
I see ..... god's wisdom was revealed to the Prophet, and then the words just wrote themselves down on a book, without any third-party intervention.
I trust you do have and only read the original book .... who knows what human intervention might have done in the publishing business.
Meanwhile, let me get on with my life instead ...... thanks for chatting with me.
T @ r ! Q:

"has any of you visited US? Muslims or any other culture people are treated with respect. they can roam around freely and do all what they want. they work with us and they can whatever they want with us. we are a free nation and all are welcome. is that allowed in any muslim country? i have heard of females not allowed to go to school in afghanistan, females having problems with their husbands and still having to live with them in many muslim countries. "
I am not so sure that everyone is treated with respect and equally in the US. Are you not aware of the discrimination between white and black there?. Had it not been for the economic crisis in America, I do not think Obama would have won and before this year no black man made it to the white house. Only yesterday on the news they were saying that though presidency has gone to a non-white, the gap between the white and the black is being enlarged because of the removal of the policy to provide school bus to students.
"i have heard of females not allowed to go to school in afghanistan, females having problems with their husbands and still having to live with them in many muslim countries. "
I totally disagree, do not take traditions and culture for Islam. What people do does not point to the religion. If a thief is muslim, it does mean that Islam preaches robbery. Religion is there with its precepts but people interprete the precepts differently and there are varying degrees of compliance.Religion sets out the rules to follow but what a person does is his own decision. Women have every the right to divorce in Islam, even before marrying the woman/girl has to give her consent. If this is not followed do not blame the religion but blame the tradition of that region. Women are thought to be the nurturers of tomorrow's citizens and they have to be educated in order to pass on this education to their offspring.
As far as I know, Islam preaches the respect of every other religion. Each one has his own beliefs and please respect the beliefs of others though you may not believe in them. You may question a certain belief but do not mock it.
"Is Islam really against music and movies? How silly. So, the Sufis are all essentially heretics, according to you?"
As far as I know it is the show of semi nakedness in certain movies that are not accepted. You also have to agree that the way the actors and actresses dress influences our youngsters choice of dress and even behaviour, so certain movies are not at all good for the eyes of the young. I do not know if you have seen such an effect in your country but working with adolescents this is what I have observed.
"So, the Sufis are all essentially heretics, according to you?"
They are who they are and they may believe in whatever they want, who are we to judge? I believe that I am not perfect so I have to change myself before even thinking of judging others.
