Please!>> We are all free to receive and share anything! NO and NOT do not compute! I don't buy the argument. >>When I show Islamic scripture, and substantiate a interpretation of the stated scripture, if the said interpretation is negative, is that beating up on Islam or Muslims?>> We all have a choice: 2) Look at the world as if it's on fire - thus we are dividing and claiming the Energy while focusing on MASS. e / c = MASS 1) Look at the world as being a tropical paradice of goodness, gardens of energy and light and wonder - thus we are duplicating, replicating and radiating the energy, light and love that the universe is made up of. . ENERGY = mc I chose ONE (1) >>Or is that objectively presenting the facts and letting the truth bear itself out? And I welcome, in fact, always invite Muslims to tell me why I am wrong in my interpretation. (I hope to a certain extent I am wrong, for this worlds sake.) So why is that beating up on anyone?>> In the end there isn't any separation or deviation of division away from ONE. And confronting and fighting others with claims and judgments does not help ONE bit toward the goal of helping others transcend these differences. >>And I invite you to answer this question, if it is possible for you to answer it without adding your beliefs or preaching on any non-Muslim belief?>> IGIT you are asking for the impossible. This is like inviting someone to speak their mind while you hand them duct tape which you say is to be used to shut up ones mouth so one can no longer speak. Cute and cunning but no thanks. Nazi Germany attracked a lot of these spirits. >> If you could not, don't answer. But if you could provide help in Understanding Islam by staying focused in Islam alone, I welcome your answer to this question.>> I am attempting to provide help in Understanding Islam by staying "on topic" to the cause which is to submit myself to the cause of our ONE Lord God in Heaven who is the same ONE God that loves Muslims and Jews and Catholics and Bahai's, etc. You want to "stay focused" on spiritual causes which seek to claim and divide, while I am seeking to "stay focused" on the spiritual causes that seek NO claims and which can only work to unite us. Do you have a problem with Unity? Do you have a problem with ONEness? If so then this is your problem. We can all help each other over these issues if we all keep an open and humble mind about receiving and sharing these truths. 119293!!
