I am Islams AMA

The Bible has undergone centuries of translation that has altered it's original meaning. More than half of it was written by a man who lived as a hermit on an island and never even met Isa (Jesus). The quran is the same book, no matter where you are. A Quran in Malaysia is the same book in Arabia. Every word of the Quran is exactly as it was given to the prophet (PBUH). We believe that the true Bible, the gospel of Jesus, has been lost to time. Ultimately the Bible has some truth to it, but it has been corrupted. It isn't inherently good or bad, just altered.
>New Testament written no later than 150AD
>Undergone centuries of translation that has altered his original meaning
>Quran believed to be written approx. 632-652AD
>Despite a 1350 year gap, is still exactly the same book.

You are passionate Herr Mozart, but you do not persuade
 
Alright, so as a feminist i want to know islam oficial stance on woman. I will post some googled Quran verses and a video that, all that i find problematic and i would like you to give me some insight on women according to Islam.

Sura 2:223 says rape culture is cool:

Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like

Sura 2:228 says men are worth more:

Wives have the same rights as the husbands have on them in accordance with the generally known principles. Of course, men are a degree above them in status

Sura 4:1 says men should get more inheritance!

The share of the male shall be twice that of a female

Sura 4:1 says men should get more inheritance!

The share of the male shall be twice that of a female

Sura 2:282 says women are dumb as fuck

And let two men from among you bear witness to all such documents [contracts of loans without interest]. But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything), the other may remind her.

Sura 4:24 says sex slaves are chill:

And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands [as prisoners of war]

Sura 4:34 supports wife-beating!

If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great.

There is also the unilateral polygamy deal and the arranged marriage stuff.


I know you will claim this is all on Yemen but to deny Islam involvement in this whole deal is just silly.

Apologies in advance if this derails the thread, also answer seriously and avoid mansplaining.

Those suras you have quoted have been misinterpreted from the original meaning in Arabic. The proper meaning in Arabic is that both men and women are equal, but they have different roles assigned to them by God. I would also like to mention that prostitution is unacceptable in Islam as well. Why men have been mentioned as such is because they have been assigned this responsibility by God.

Also, the practice of child brides is nonexistent in countries like Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, and has been practiced in Non-Muslim nations like India as well. Marrying children in the Arab world is only present in the less developed, 3rd world nations.
I know plenty of women here in Kuwait who are Muslims and live normal lives without "oppression" that are pretty much identical to western women sans beliefs.
 
To get back on point here, is there any form or sect of Islam which is non-fundamentalist? That is to say a sect of Islam which rejects literal readings of the Bible/Quran and places its Ethos within modern society. I read briefly on Salafism, but I believe that now denotes a ultra-conservative sect.

In brief, most Shiites, but especially Nizaris (who are Seveners/Ismailis).

As I said in one thread, you have never heard of the vast majority of the sects like them because they are boring and focus mostly on education, charity, and peace. Iran and the Twelvers who are dominant right now are a special breed of Shiite, but they mostly exist because they are reacting to a vast majority of surrounding nations who want them obliterated for being "worse than pagans and unbelievers". Not that this excuses them (or Israel for that matter), but it is worth noting.

Additionally, Sufi sects, who like most Shiite sects (except Zaiydi Fivers) teach that there is a hidden, mystical, meaning to the Quran. I.e. an obvious meaning which is apparent, and the "real" one that God wants you to know. Mysticism like this is huge in Shiite and Sufi groups, and it is very rad.

Too often when people say "Muslims" they mean Sunnis, usually Salafists at that. While the Sunnis hold a staggering majority, they are by no means all of Islam. Millions and millions of non-Sunni Muslims exist.

Furthermore, and these are just general thoughts about this thread and others: the most populous Muslim countries are non-Arab and Sunni, yet never seem to get attention. I wonder about that. No one talks about the evil jihads Malaysia, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are waging.

I wonder why that is? Those hundreds of millions of Muslims strangely don't seem to be plotting to kill us. Now, if it were cultural and wealth-motivated instead of being religiously motivated, it would make sense. But we all know that can't be true. Islams all want to kills us all. I guess the world has some mysteries left.
 
I realize that in today's world, many people have misconceptions about Islam. I'm going to do my part to clear that up.

Ask me anything, and I will do my best to give an honest and factual answer.

No, this isn't a joke. Yes, I really am a practicing muslim.
Is there any fatwas forbidding having cybersex with a potato lololol
