Astrid,
If anyone comes online with Latin verses, don't you know I will read it? No,
I would not use my delete button because knowledge is universal, and I like
to treat myself to all the information I can possibly gather.
I want to take this oppoirtunity to state that posting information on Islam
is not akin to insulting anyone, but providing knowledge that I personally
hope is useful to everyone on the list. I bet I know a lot more about
Christianity and the Bible than many a Christian knows about the
Qur'an.Personally, I saw postings on Islam not only as something to share
with many a list member ( especially in the Gambia) who is not able to have
access to the information that we can pass along, but also as a means
whereby our Christian brothers, sisters and friends of The Gambia on the
list can perhaps find out what this religion is all about, instead of just
the negative stereotypical stuff that is out there, or the religion that
they grew up seeing some of their friends and compatriots practice from a
distance. It is also a great opportunity for any human being to find out why
there are all these religions, and yet only one God? I would want to know
what all of them are about, and maybe, i will have
It is not an evangelical mission to convert anyone folks. THERE IS NO
COMPULSION IN ISLAM!!! because of all of God's creation, it is only man who
has the free will to choose to worship or not to worship God, and even if
he chooses the latter, he still shows tolerance and patience towards him
or her all their life long. now how much more of a lesson on tolerance do we
need aside from that?
Every so many verses in the Qur'an, Allah reminds the Prophet Muhammed
that it is not his job to make muslims, only to deliver a message.
This cyber technology is a wonderful thing people, and it is something we can
use to
learn so much more than we would have without it.
