Omar Suleiman is clearly a very kind soul.,(reply>), @K ....why should I listen to Muslims and more than I might listen to a Seventh Day Adventist or a Scientologist. What on earth have these religions got to offer me that I don't already have ? This is the problem with thinking thet only you have the real truth and that you are the only ones.All this nonsensical talk about hate, where on earth does that come from, what is wrong with you people that everything is about getting triggered and hating and all the rest of this meaningless shit. Grow up and learn to have a conversation, it's no wonder so many people have zero interest in your religious ideas if you are an example it's representative. Seems to me if anyone is getting triggered it's you.,(reply>), @cspace1234nz Whatever helps you sleep at night. If you think everyone’s first language is English and refuse to listen to actual Muslims then maybe you’re the bigot you project upon others to be. All I suggest is you actually talk to Muslims and read about Islam yourself before adding to the hate that has cost people’s lives.,(reply>), @K ...To use such terms as "triggered", and "conspiracy" I can only guess you are young, and probably a bit emotionally stunted. Such overused, largely meaningless terms when you are unable to see with some clarity what I was writing simply shows that you have very little insight and zero authority in your thinking. Perhaps go away and come up with something that can be discussed in an adult fashion.,(reply>), @cspace1234nzare you ok… as a Muslim, I don’t think it’s that complex. It’s sad that a simple comment has triggered such conspiracy. Perhaps seek knowledge and then make conclusions afterwards.,(reply>), @aibel99 ...firstly, there is an assumption that there is a "heaven" and a "hell" of some sort. This is a belief in that it requires that you believe what is taught and what is written. This is where religion fails, it relies on  believing in something, not in God, but in ideas and concepts that are attributed to God. Then there is the belief that "our beliefs are the only ones", that there is only One True God, which lays waste to the 2999 odd other Gods that man apparently can believe in. Everything comes down to a belief in one thing or other and beliefs are all on the level of the mind. The Christians believe that if you were lucky enough to be born in the US, UK, Australia or wherever and into a Christian community, then you are saved, all the rest of the world born into communities that are Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim etc, well clearly they are all going to hell. If you were born in a country where the Muslim faith is predominant then you too are fortunate and will have a far better chance or reaching paradise. Seems many of the religions have this sort of illogical, nonsensical belief system at their core, yet all of it relies solely on belief in something, again, being on the level of the transcient unreliable mind. <br>Yet at the same time, the real core of all religious traditions point to the more subtle spiritual, that does not rely on belief, does not rely on the mind, that encourages going beyond the level of the mind in fact. Knowing something of the Sufi traditions I know this to be true as they were not so hung up on religiosity, but on the Heart and a direct connection to God. This also is the case with most religions, there is always a path within for those ready and rip to go on a more full spiritual jorney. <br>So this is not about following some religion of our own making, each one is able to connect directly with God without being a part of any religion. It is perfectly possible to learn what little you need to learn from so many different sources, when for centuries most religious followers were unable to read or write, they simply had to believe what they were told, often by religious leaders who thoroughly enjoyed control of the people. This we know for a fact. Most people join a religion because they are suffering and simply want a better life. In order to be truly spiritual all these beliefs must be let go of, ALL of them. Only then can we have a direct connection to God because, as the Christian bible says.....'The Peace That Surpasseth Understanding. I'm sure the Quran says similar. The mind of man cannot possibly meet with God, it is beyond understanding, it is beyond all belief, it is beyond the level of the mind. Religions are not required for any of it and are most often an obstacle to Truth.
