Lex, Many questions hang in the air. When you have Omar on again," I’d be curious to hear his responses to these questions:<br>•	If the Quran is the direct", final and unalterable word of God," what are non-muslims and secularists to make of verses such as these: eg. 2:90; 3:85; 3:151; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=4m56s"">4:56</a>"," 4:89; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=5m33s"">5:33</a>; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=5m36s"">5:36</a>; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=5m37s"">5:37</a>; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=5m38s"">5:38</a>; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=5m51s"">5:51</a>; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=8m12s"">8:12</a>; 9:2; 9:3; <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=9m29s"">9:29</a>? <br>•	Why is it that of countries having the death penalty for apostasy and/or blasphemy"," all have partially or fully Islamic legal systems?<br>•	Why was slavery abolished first in northern Europe and North America and last in muslim-majority countries?<br>•	If the US is such a problematic place for muslims", why do so many want to emigrate there? The opposite trend, ie. emigration of US muslims to muslim-majority countries, being minuscule in comparison?,(reply>), I thought that slavery in Islam is forbidden by the coming of Muhammad peace be upon him 1400 years ago,(reply>), @Enes Ulutas who said they were innocent? The point is they evolved and admitted their wrongs with time and changed their ways (i imagine if humanity lives long enough we will hear regret about iraq, afghanistan etc from usa govt, it is talked about openly innthe media and by public and academics and veterens..  much like text books talk about ww2 nuclear past in japan and pacific by usa and slavery. Religious countries that rule by fist "in the name of god" don't ever admit their shortcomings nor can their people question or complain thus they can only ever evolve politically/socially/culturally to an extent...and if it goes too far to the point it questions politics well, It all comes back to enforcing gods rules. Just look at iran right now. <br><br>Europes not perfect. Americas even less so. There is no perfect civilization on earth. A civilization that is not allowed to adapt grow and change is a civilisation that is doomed to repeat the same problems. Outside forces are only one part of the middle easts problems and yes they are regrettable, americas politicians and powers that be should never have gotten involved in the middle east. But here we are... Us commoners need not be enemies.,(reply>), if you like to point fingers at others, you need to point one at yourself first. Why did European forcefully bring millions of slaves from Africa to the US, and kept racism and segregation? even now there is racism in the US. Why did Germans who are Christians murdered thousands of Jewish in the Halocaust? Why did Europe started World war 1 and 2  , which resulted in millions of death? Why did the US drop the Atom bomb and murdered millions of Japanese civilians, kids, woman, elderly ? You see after all you beloved Europe and North America are not innocent at all and in fact they are the biggest terrorist and bloodshedders in the world.,(reply>), I dont know where you are but if in US, you can go to any of the Islamic centers. Omar Sulieman is from Dallas, there centers all over US, where you can ask any questions you have.
