What's your thoughts about muslims, those around you, neighbors, colleagues?

[fafylone]

I am curious and also if you have questions about this faith let me know. I am willing to answer your questions with Quran & prophet muhammad (may peace be up on him) teachings with my best ability.

I'm Christian and respect Muslims as equals, we believe in a lot of similarities, which only makes me believe that even tho I'm Christian and believe in Jesus as the son of god, there's definitely truth to things the Quran says cause I believe it's the same god, just seems like there was some form of separation because of religion overtime, I'm actually also impressed by women that wear the hijabs cause it shows strong faith, in this world physical appearance is basically worshipped by humanity, for women to hide their appearance to break that chain I believe is highly respectable cause I know it can complicate their dating life mostly when the world is so full of pettiness and ignorance, if I'm not mistaken I think they save their physical beauty for their husband right? From the perspective of my believes it's not necessary but my respect for it is still there and it's a big amount of respect.

Islam emphasizes the oneness of God (Tawheed), rejecting the Trinity, while Christianity believes in the Trinity – the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit – as one Godhead.

The Quran encourages both men and women to dress modestly and guard their private parts:

"˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what they do." (Quran 24:30-31) link: https://quran.com/an-nur/30-31

This verse highlights the concept of modesty for both men and women, with specific instructions for women to cover their bodies and hair in the presence of non-mahram (non-relative) men. It emphasizes the importance of safeguarding one's modesty and chastity, as a means of maintaining piety and dignity in accordance with Islamic principles.

This is all interesting, it's got similar teachings I do wonder one thing tho, why in Islam are Muslim men allowed to marry outside of their religion but Muslim women aren't allowed to do the same?

[fafylone]

The reason Muslim boys can marry girls from different religions is because they are seen as leaders of the family and can help keep Islamic teachings alive. But for girls, it's encouraged to marry boys who are also Muslim, to keep the family strong in Islamic beliefs.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Well from an outside view it seems like women stick more to their teaching than men, I've seen plenty of men use Allah for their own personal gain while I think I've only ever seen one woman do that, I know this is more of a personal experience type of thing but the perspective I got from it is that women seem to take Islam more serious than men, in Christianity false prophets are pretty even on gender, also seen men claim Islam but act like lusty pigs, meanwhile women cover up and stuff, I don't know I don't see how a loving god can put restrictions on the thing he claims to be the most important thing, at least the god I believe in is all loving, I'm not too sure if Islam says Allah is suppose to be all loving but if Islam shares this similarity with Christianity it seems kinda strange.

[fafylone]

It bepends on muslims that you met but in mostly Muslim countries the situation is different. The both practice their religion fully.

Men are reminded to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, while women are instructed to cover themselves and not display their beauty except to certain individuals.

Overall, the Quran emphasizes modesty as a virtue for all believers, regardless of gender, and encourages both men and women to conduct themselves with dignity, respect, and humility in their interactions with others.

The ones that assimilate into society, good on 'em. Fought with some great muslims overseas. If you want to come to America and harass western women walking down a public street like has happened in London and the Netherlands, I don't have any respect for that. I was honored (twice actually) to help carry the body of a fallen Afghan warrior to the grave. Those who fought for their country's progression did so with honor. Those who sought to drive it back to the stone ages, not so much.

Thoughts on Muslims?

The males are generally thieves and tend to lie about everything to everyone, including themselves. They also like having emotional temper tantrums, thinking it makes them look tough. It doesn't!.

The females must be prevented from entering your swimming pool, or they will spread Leptospirabacteria into the water.

[Agape93]

Same as any religion. I don't give a shit what you believe or why, just keep it to yourself. If you push it on me or my loved ones, you're going to have a very fatal problem.

[NathanDavis]

what are your thoughts on people who are agnostic... (not atheists, but agnostic) ?

[fafylone]

In Islam, individuals who are agnostic, uncertain about the existence of God or the validity of religious beliefs, are encouraged to seek knowledge and understanding with an open heart and mind.

For example, imagine a person who was raised in a secular environment and has never been exposed to religious teachings. They may have questions about the existence of God or the purpose of life, and Islam encourages them to explore these questions through study, reflection, and dialogue.

The Quran encourages believers" islam" to engage in dialogue and discussion with those who hold different beliefs: "Invite ˹all˺ to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and kind advice, and only debate with them in the best manner. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided." (Quran 16:125)

Ultimately, Islam teaches believers to approach those who are agnostic with kindness, respect, and empathy, recognizing that everyone's journey towards faith and understanding is unique. While Islam invites individuals to embrace the truth of Islam, it also respects the autonomy and free will of each person to explore their own beliefs and convictions.

[NathanDavis]

based on your experience... what are your thoughts on agnostic people and your relationships with them, other than Muslim teachings... what do you actually think about them?

[fafylone]

I don't think much about them. I feel sad that they agnostic. I try to not be around those that judge your beliefs when they are agnostic. They are people, I treat them respectfully as they are respectful to me.

[douride2]

I have no issues with any of the ones I know & who live around here.

[Al_Musafir]

As a Muslim myself, love them. But then again, it depends on how staunch of a Muslim they are.

[strateguy632]

their book is used to recruit terrorists. a good person would never "submit" to that book.

[Anonymous]

Can't say I have many thoughts. I don't particularly care what people believe so long as they don't cause problems for others. That describes most people fortunately.

[rigmarole]

Either they don't know their religion or they are complete psychopaths.

[Kelly6]
