    i have e question to all ppl
    why we need e revalation that agreed with what we indentifie as wisdom it make the religion old and outdates

    islam dont and that s e good think

    as muslim and belivers we accept all the orders that came from allah and mohamed order us with and all of sharia laws as the the ultimate wisdome
    but a lot of ppl dont identifie the teaching of mohamed as unwise and wrong
    and i have e question to them

    human knowlege and wisdom evolve throw time a lot take uropian society for an exemple even thay have cristianity when islam came in urope ppl debate if wemen are human bieng like man but now thy have all the wemen rights

    but thise is the probleme society will continue to advance and evolve but islam is fixed

      what i mean that we only existe in e very shorte time

      and islam was e greate ource of huamn wisdom throught the history maybee ppl have better chance when the greatness of islam was more appairent to non muslim , the greatness is always appaarent to muslims

      maybe you have better chance with islam if we existe at the time of mohamed and we have e contact with him
      or existe  when muslims have science and knowlege ike when the islamque nation was after mohamed
      or time when muslims were united like untill the 17 th centry
      but we cant we are here at thise time and we have islam
      and we re here only in e short time

        darknight - If I understand you correctly, you feel that humans had more understanding of God's truth in the early days.  I can agree with you.  Today, we have too many distractions from our innate wisdom of the spirit.  It is difficult to stay in touch with instinct and sense what is beyond the world of objective reality.

          There is more truth in that statement than anyone today can even begin to understand or express.
             I have known people that could not stand a moment of quietness or solitude with themselves. They wanted to be disconected from their own inner thoughts.

      Religion must be allowed to evolve, grow, and change just like everything else. If we try to lock it away in stone, we will outgrow it and it will die. This is the biggest problem with the ancient/modern religions, we have outgrown them. We see the flaws in the 'cavemen' mentality of the people who established these very very old and now outdated belief systems.

          The problem is that the followers of many religions had failed to record the Word revealed on the truthuful messengers prophets of the Creator God. Now Jesus was peaceful messenger prophets of the Creator God; Paul and Church deviated from his peaceful teachings; hence Christianity and its followers  inflicted cruelties on many lands and killed many a thousand innocent people in different regions of the world.

          These cruelties cannot be ascribed to Jesus.

          Religion does not outgrow; it cannot.

        @Mikel, your words sound like wisdom, but are they really?

        Who is to decide what is to change? What are the lessons of the "cavemen mentality?" And how do you know what is truly wise and what is not?

        @Troubled's words sound sweet, though I suspect a pound of deceit.

        Your parable of the man lost at sea is a good one, but the lesson may be bigger than even you have appreciated. The lessons of old apply equally to today. They teach of humility which the man lost at sea lacked. He let his arrogance decide what he would accept as an act of rescue.

        When a child strikes or curses their parent(s),  they are displaying the height of arrogance which is the biggest barrier to them reaching God. This is ego -- the sense of entitlement that @Trouble seems to embrace as his "wisdom."

        Logic is good, but don't let it blind you to a higher wisdom. Logic has been used for all  manner of good _and_ evil. When someone holds resentment in place because of a perceived undeserved injustice, they are using the continuity of logic to cling to a ball and chain of ego. Forgiveness is the generosity that gives up this possession of hatred. It is the discontinuity which breaks with the chains which bind that person to the source of such resentment. Forgiveness may sound and feel illogical, but it comes from a place far superior to logic. Forgiveness comes from the realm of creation where the foundations of logic are built.

        The wisdom of the Old Testament is just as valid today as it ever was. The techniques used to implement that wisdom have been modified from stoning to "love" and "turn the other cheek," but the wisdom remains vitally important.

        Too many who want to change the teachings of the Bible do not understand them. They think their Homo sapiens bodies are vitally important. They feel their own viewpoint and its sense of entitlement (ego) is vitally important. But these are nothing but dust. In a few million years, they will be all but forgotten, and those who did not heed the wisdom of old will be like a ship without an anchor, floundering on the shoals of action-reaction, caught up in the yin and yang of victim-perpetrator -- wailing and gnashing.

        I was reading today the words of Judges and the story of Gideon. He used great wisdom  to "judge" whether or not what he heard was indeed the voice of God. Twice he asked for guidance -- once for dew-laden fleece and dry ground, and then dry fleece and dew-laden ground. Each morning, what he found affirmed his belief that what he had heard was indeed the the voice of God. And he used great wisdom to winnow the numbers of his men from thousands to a mere three hundred to face many thousands of the enemy.

        Don't be as Abimelech and murder wisdom for your own selfish purposes.

      @Cags, nicely put. And Dave, you too.

      But perhaps what @Darknight444 meant was that "supposed" wisdom was somehow less than worthy of being called such.

      But aren't we all learning? (Or shouldn't we be?) How do we know what is wisdom?

      @Cagsil has condemned wisdom, so are his words "stupid?" Misguided? I have no doubt that for him his words make perfect sense. He has his limited experience and can only see the universe from that viewpoint. We all fit into that category.

      Mohammed gave us all great wisdom. So did Gautama Siddhartha. Perhaps there has been no greater than Yehoshua in bringing us wisdom for he came directly from God. Siddhartha and Mohammed acquired their wisdom through meditation/prayer (asking).

      What greater "proof" do we have that Yehoshua was most divine in his life and mission than the acts of his life -- the miracles of healing, feeding the multitudes, casting out demons into swine, walking water and stopping the storm -- all leading up to the planned demonstration of selflessness (without ego) which would symbolize our own spiritual awakening (salvation)? This is proof, if only we choose to see the wisdom therein.

    oh cool a muslim scholar! I was hoping to run into one of those.

    So, I was reading an article on Mohammed and Sexuality in Islamic cultures, to paraphrase, it stated that the Prophet Mo married a 6 year old and consummated that marriage when the child was 9. apparently this is very common knowledge? and it occurred not to long efore his death.

    It also pointed out that apparently its cool with sharia or whatever to "thigh" babies, little girls and men. It didnt say it was a very active practice or anything though.

    There are lots of intentionally misleading articles against Islam out there, so I didnt take it at face value ..but the sources from what I could tell seemed pretty legit.

    So, is it true.. was Mo a child screwer? Because, thats the type of thing that discredits the message in modern times for modern people.

          I think much of what you are saying is misreprentation and more intended to incite hostility than to discuss something.

          Over a thousand years ago, society was much different. The "moral standards" the West likes to tout (hypocritically at that) are a recent creation.

          Marriage, especially in the case of Abu Bakr's daughter, also served symbolically, cementing an alliance between these two. This was entirely common throughout human history, and I am sure it still happens, though not with people at such a young age.

          I do not follow Islam, or any official religion, for in my mind they are all simply creations of humanity, not deity. Imperialism of the soul is something that I stand firmly against...  However, when it comes to trying to degrade someone elses faith simply because it props up my own spiritual delusions, I will not participate.  Islam is not the "monstrosity" that many in the "West" try to make it out to be...

      So, the story I read wasnt some anti-moslem propoganda. Wow, that blows my mind.

      Following a "moral philosophy" that includes what we now consider to be child abuse or statutory rape just doesnt pass the muster with my personal values and observations of what is "right and wrong" ... whether thats 6th century child molesters or modern day priests buggering communion boys.

      Thanks for the clarification.

      Im guessing the "thighing" is an accurate practice too?

      If I was to wax philosophic for a long period of time ..which I wont .. I would have to point out that most of the organized religions that attempt to limit and control mans sexuality rot from that point forward. I think most of you need to get laid proper and then you will really see God, loosen up ... and stop trying to release your pent up natural desires onto unwilling children.

      Its really damn disgusting that an entire religion would consider such a man a "prophet" and capable of dictating morality... here we would beat him to death as a pedophile (although he might have to end up behind bars first) ... funny how times change

      I have quite a few male muslim friends, for the most part very good people who try and put their best face forward .. but all of them have very flawed concepts of how to interact with women, have a very foolish and ignorant judgmental streak about "western" women and seem to be stunted in their emotional development as a result.

      could be a coincidence ... but .. even in your short diatribe, you reflected the same childish concepts in reference to "european women"

          Morality changes. When I was in college, we had a foreign student from an Arabic nation, and I don't know what his religion was. He thought that ogling fourteen year old girls was acceptable. He was a product of a culture where fourteen year old girls were prime for pickin. Not so long ago, it was also accepted in this culture. The morality that existed when I was young was based on Victorian values, Then came the "sexual revolution" then, of course, came A.I.D.S. Sometimes a grave health issue can change the moral course. One size fits all morality is possible...just not terribly probable...in our lifetimes. That is, of course, barring some kind of outside intervention. That also is possible...just not probable.

        @sunforged - Mohammad was offered to marry Aisha when she was 6 years old, which was probably a custom of the Quraysh tribe who dominated Mecca before and in the early years of Islam, therefore the parents offered their daughter continuing the culture, but mohammad refused because she was too young and said to wait until she reaches puberty. if puberty came at the age of 9 in those days then it was the age of 9 ... if it came in the age of 12-13 then it was 12-13.

        Calling Mohammad a pedophile would not be right when looking at the whole picture. In this day and age, a 15 year old girl is too young to be married. but until the last generation of the people in the east, girls were married with kids by the ages of 15 and 16.

          So the marriage was allowed to be consummated only after the child had reached puberty.

              Actually, that was kind of my point.

              I ask whether "consummating a 9 year old' seems a bit young. I get several answers that this was normal and common.

              In these times .. we would consider a 9 year old to be mentally immature and not likely to be physically mature.

              Marriage and the promise of marriage at a younger age was not uncommon. The civil / religious act doesnt concern me.

              But in your story an old man sleeps with a child because its the norm?

              So where does the "Prophet" part come in? Where is the visualization/realization of obvious truths that should extend past time and region?

              Nowhere, thats where! Just an old grimy man doing as old grimy men did in that day and region.

              Doesnt really stand out as a man worthy of memory

              From my most perfunctory of research .. i still see that 12-14 was the common age of puberty even in the 6th century ... some interesting (not fact checked) history on "age of consent" and various religions and cultures .. http://www.faqs.org/childhood/A-Ar/Age-of-Consent.html

            Hey Sun,the age difference wasn't really all that much.I mean she was 9 and Mo was only 53.I believe it'surra?[spellcheck don't work in mohamadees]55 or 59 or there abouts that the marriage took place at 6 then consummated at 9.It's also backed up by the hadith?[freakin spellcheck]
            ...and while we're at it hows about one of you Mussies explaining abrogation to the fine folks in this thread.You Know,that wonderful guide of later violent writings over ruling the early peaceful writings in the big book of"Q".
            Here's just one simple quote from the big book of"Q"that I love cause of it's kind[from a Mussies point of view]and for their own good kinda feel
            "Kill the infidels where ever you find them".Yep,gotta love big Mo for his contributions to the good of all[so long as your a mussie male]people.LMFAO.

              live up to your name and play cheaptricks.

              the quote that you mentioned is around chapter 2 of the Quran ... it is about when the prophet was going to war against non-muslims ... ofcourse it would tell them to kill if you're going to war.

              i'm sure the president bush or obama would have said similar when going to war in afghanistan, iraq, pakistan, or do you think their orders would be to go kiss hug and make up with the people? after killing over 2 million people in the east i think it's pretty clear what the orders are.

                The orders from Bush & Obama didn't specify "infidels". Or, in this case Muslims.
                They are after TERRORISTS, most of whom follow the Koran you defend.

                You might want to get things in perspective before you make there (irrelevant) comparisons.

                  If what arksys says is true, and it probably is considering religious books, then killing infidels is no different than killing Caananites, Jebusites, Hedonites, or any of the tribes mentioned for the Israelites of old to kill.  Not taking sides here, just pointing out flaws in the argument.

                  at that time the war was about religion ... the infidels drove out the muslims from mecca in the start ... so they were the enemy in the war.

                  what i meant was when you go to war you order to kill the enemy, and even bush and obama and every other leader who sends his army to war say... kill them.

                  It does not mean to kill them today, that was only for the war.

                    Religions shouldn't be about telling their followers to kill anyone, infidels or otherwise.

                I took a course in comparative religion when I was a young man[before I saw the real agenda of all organised religion]from a professor who had spent her career[she was 76 at the time]immersed in that discipline.
                This is what she had to say about Islam in explanation of it's diametrically opposed message and use of peace and violence[I'm paraphrasing a bit cause it was some 40 years ago]
                Islam is always presented as a religion of peace while it's a minority.When It becomes a majority and seizes control[At this point she draws her hand across her throat and says]Join us OR!

                That is the closest explanation I've heard for"Abrogation"as well.Also,It is perfectly acceptable for mussies to use deceit,lie,and perpetrate violence so long as it advances the institution of Islam.

        How many Muslims participate in such acts?  If Islam itself is what you represent it to be then these atrocities should be widespread... 

        I can look at Jim Jones and then characterize Christians as a whole (especially Evangelicals) in his manner?  Right?  How many doomsday cult Christian groups have existed? (I used to be part of one..and I am sure there are far more out there than one would think) Should I then stereotype and demagogue Christians as a whole?

        I don't think so...

          Good point, Mike.

          Hitler a Christian?

          The labels that  people wear rarely speak of their own true nature. If Hitler ever called himself a "Christian," when did he ever "turn the other cheek?" When did he ever forgive and love? From his actions we know only of his ego -- his ambition and his sense of self-righteousness -- the sense of German entitlement.

          Abandoning Logic?

          And for those who claim to love logic and reason, how much logic do they show when they abandon it to denounce God and miracles?

          Many with whom I've discussed certain miracles I've witnessed throw logic out the window and betray their own prejudice and belief that such things are impossible. Some of them say, because there is no videotape, it didn't happen, and show no curiosity for the possibility that such a thing actually did occur.

          Tightly Held Misconceptions of Some Atheists

          Some claim that religion is only good for starting wars and engage in no discussion of anything that contradicts their shallow assertion. And when one such atheist thought that all believers were shallow and ignorant of real-world things, he would not discuss the sciences because he could not. He had "no use for such things."

          And another atheist who holds high regard for evolution could not believe that a Christian could believe in evolution, too. Instead, he called that Christian a liar. Such arrogance throws logic out the window. Not all atheists are like this, but they are all too rare in my experience.

          Science Illogical?

          Perhaps the biggest barrier for many atheists is that science does not follow its own credo -- scientific method. This warns against bias, which is very much wisdom, but then scientists use "skepticism" as their chief operating basis, and yet skepticism is full of bias. Go figure! And we all thought they were supposed to be smart.

          The greatest scientists used restraint and humility instead of skepticism when they made great strides forward. Why is skepticism such a barrier? Not only does it contain a bias -- that of doubt -- but some forms of skepticism are entirely subjective and destructive rather than constructive or neutral. These we find too often in the forums -- unsupported dismissiveness and self-indulgent ridicule. Ahh, but it feels good to the ego, doesn't it? And that should tell us all something very important about such behavior.

          Wisdom of Humility

          Many Christians do not know what "humility" means. They think they have it all figured out and rub other people's noses in it. Without humility, they're betraying Christianity and rubbing their own ego in other people's faces. But ego is an equal-opportunity destroyer. Every group is susceptible to its "charms."

          One can have "faith" (confidence in God) and still be humble. And no, it's not an oxymoron like "stupid wisdom."

            and contradict with islam in some parts like wemen rights and decency
            which means that is still e new religion and it s not outdated
            islamique faith is based that islamique teashing is for all the times ( and good to all humanity

        There is no such teaching in Quran to kill sons and daughters.
        The Christians could do it morally perhaps as their God-the-father did kill his, as they state, "only begotten son" called Jesus .

        Honour killers are just illiterate and ignorant people; no sane person would do it.
