Relatives often ask to borrow some money, and we often give it to them.

They may call it a loan, and say they will pay it back.

But do you really expect them to pay you back?

I learned a long time ago that when I loan money to a relative, it's really not a loan, it's a gift.

What about you?

When you loan money to a relative, do you really expect to be paid back?

Set aside the classical European example. Who can honestly say that Europe is Christian today? They belong to the religion of liberalism today.

When Islam emerged, Christianity already existed. According to the Qur'an, Jesus and Moses are also accepted as prophets, although the Qur'an states that the scriptures were altered. Nevertheless, Christians and Jews are referred to as the People of the Book. After Muslims became dominant, they placed Christians in a legally better position than polytheists; in a sense, Christians were the “lesser evil.” They translated Syriac texts and the Jewish Talmud and made use of these sources.

Any Muslim who reads the Qur'an encounters Christians and learns how they are understood within Islam.

But Islam did not exist during the formative period of Christianity. Therefore, Christians initially regarded Muslims as an extremely foreign group. So much so that they sometimes preferred the Mongol invaders to Muslims. They regarded Muslims as infidels and launched the Crusades against them. They may even have been unaware that Islam drew from the same Abrahamic tradition.

Be honest: for many Christians, “Muslim” simply means a group of people who behead people, set off bombs, and are associated with pedophilia.

!!! We should acknowledge the deep and extraordinary research the British conducted on the Eastern world through Orientalism, but this was not primarily theological; it was essentially for the purposes of their colonial empire!!!

There is no place for Circumcision of Babies in our society.

There are a few religions that practice this procedure one being the Jewish faith.

But did you know Circumcision of Babies in the Jewish faith could be stopped almost immediately if "The Principle of Pikuach Nefesh" was invoked by the Jewish people.

If a consensus emerged within the global Jewish Community that Circumcision is causing systemic, unnecessary harm to babies, which it is, the practice would be stopped.

There has been an Evolution of Rituals many in ancient biblical laws (such as specific forms of capital punishment or agricultural laws) are no longer practiced today because rabbinic interpretation deemed them no longer applicable or ethical in contemporary society.

Even today a growing modern movement within Judism called Brit Shalom (Covenant of Peace) or Brit Ben celebrates the welcoming of a baby boy explicitly omitting the surgical procedure.

Jewish families already choose this path without breaking their connection to their faith or identity.

Hopefully more religions and people quickly come to their senses, and the world eradicates this archaic practice.

You can't have it both ways. If you engage in vengeance, then that is an injustice. If you believe in justice, then that precludes vengeance. If you answer both, I'm just going to delete it because you need to answer this question with one choice or the other, please.
