As Salah-Al-Din explained, there are two classes of apostasy. Major apostasy is a lot like treason and treason can still be punished by the death penalty in the States. You're Catholic, right? I don't think the Catholic Church believes in the death penalty anymore. Many of your Protestant...

Are there people in LDS like that? What does the Church think of them?

Intellectual apostasy is an odd term. I have to admit, it defines people I loathe most :( The people you mentioned do nothing more than profit on people's hate in the west. Ali Sina is an oddity. He's the head of Faith Freedom International and this is his mission statement...

I don't support the death penalty at all. That's the Canadian in me speaking. I once left Islam and rejected God and I am sure glad now that I wasn't killed :) My mother is a Christian convert and I don't want her to be killed either! I also think it's contradictory to kill a man (women are...

Thank you! I couldn't articulate the same question earlier :( As knigh+ pointed out, it's the 'the unbelievers among...' Someone here (I forgot who, sorry!) had in their signature "Going to church doesn't make you any more a Christian than going to the garage makes you a car" I still have a...

I have to admit I feel inferior to you, Salah-Al-Din. You know the Qur'an better than me and you have answers to everything. I am afraid of posting in this thread now, even though I think the parity of a fundamentalist and a secularist would be interesting. For the past week, I have been...

:lol: :lol: augurey made me come back to read this. I'm actually glad you showed up to offer a different point of view. I know that I'm rather lax about my faith sometimes :( :blush:

Maybe 'Ask a Muslim' wasn't the correct title. I wanted to shoe how western culture and Islam are not necessarily exclusive. I also stated I am not an expert on the Qur'an. I am as knowledgeable as most other Muslims I know. Which is about as well as most Christians I've met know the Bible...

I'm so sorry that your view of Islam is better and more correct than mine :rolleyes:

I'm not sure I understand :confused: :( You're told in mosque that idolatry of any of the prophets should be avoided, as their messages from God hold the most weight. Prophets are not all equal either. Depicting Muhammad in a Jesus-like manner would be far more offensive than depicting Noah in...

I'm not sure about the States, but in Canada, the government will let you and your family move here if you plan to open a business and hire at least one current resident. You need experience (owning and running a shop is the same everywhere) and you probably have to pass some clearances.

Why would you prefer another Sunni?

A Caliph would be like a mini Pope, the head of State and Religion. Theoretically, a true Caliph should rule over the Islamic world. Because of the Sunni Shi'a split, that hasn't happened since Muhammad died.

Katheryn: Being a Muslim doesn't make me an expert on terrorism. If what I thought about poverty, education ect is wrong, then I don't know better than you. All I know is it isn't inherent to my faith. :( I'm not about to blow anyone up :(

Never! One of Matthew's friends from high school just got back from Iraq. He's one of the sharpest little bastards I know :D I would say that the average soldier doesn't have an Ivy League education though, would you?
