Why do we even discuss these things when most people here don't even have fundamental knowledge of Islam :confused:

It's like you arrive to the scene of the accident 20 minutes late and start making statements but you have no fucking clue what just happened.

For the first few days at least, yes.

Oh and trust me, not following instructions causes A LOT of problems.
That's my point. People use a similar product and think they understand enough to get by, or maybe someone tells them how to use it. Either way much gets lost in the translation and the product runs into problems or is used in other ways than intended.

The entire concept of having four wives is not so that you can sleep around. There are different circumstances under which you are allowed to marry more than one wife. None of which include to fulfill your perverted sexual fantasies. The reason why women can't marry more than one man is because most cultures follow paternal lineage.
Is this mentioned in Qoran or you think Qoran needs to be adjusted as time goes?

Do it for the sake of guys like me and Martin who are indeed eager to learn. :)

I know that sometimes both me and Martin can say something you won't like but it's never in a malicious way.
I'm learning a lot from all of you Muslims (well, from most of you if not all) and I do like the discussions you, Fred, Reb, Ahmed etc have with snake_midget and Hoori.

The latter were also Muslims in the past, they live in Muslim countries and surely know more than the rest of us non-Muslims. Both are educated so i'm taking their opinion on this seriously, just like I take yours or Reb's or Fred's etc.

What I want to tell you is that instead of saying what you said in the quoted part above, I'd really appreciate it if you actually give an answer and get involved more seriously in the discussion, the way you did with your previous post.

Grazie :D

I don't need to have a fundamental knowledge of Islam to realize that many people in the world practicing Islam may have a misguided version of the religion to follow or something very similar snake_midget's.

What Snake's version of the what the Koran says about polygamy is probably is not correct, yet it is probably shared by many many people worldwide. And that is a very big problem.

Look man, I'm not here to make judgments or pretend I know Islam. I'm here to learn. I spend much more time in these threads reading than I do speaking. Occasionally I ask a question or make a point when I'm on to something. You'll have to excuse my dumb ass for clouding your day.

Qur'an and Hadith.

One of the main reasons for being allowed to marry another woman is if your first wife could not bear children. With modern development in medicine this is very rare so there is no need to marry another woman. There are similar cases with other things.

I think you guys misunderstood me. What I meant was that sometimes some of these discussions we have are similar to trying to teach a child calculus when he has no knowledge of the times table; it just won't make any sense.

We (Muslims) didn't learn all this over one night. We learned this and acquired all this knowledge over time.

No man I hear you loud and clear. If you're not a Muslim, get the fuck out. I get it. Peace.

Btw, Il Principo or whatever can suck a dick.

Qoran and Hadith? Where exactly is it mentioned in Qoran?

It doesn't make sense at all because in many cases this is the man who is sterile.

You either approve the whole thing of men being allowed to take more than one wife or not. If you do, the case is closed. If you don't, are you going to disapprove a clear Qoran saying with adjusting it by time saying that since the reasons for that law don't apply for this time, men must be forbidden to have more than one wife just like the women?

Well yeah, the rest of us can't really understand those things the way you do, and many times we can't understand them at all, but we can at least get some kind of idea and your discussions with people who were born in a Muslim world, educated there, were Muslim themselves and still live there, are surely helping us a lot.

You're the system and they're the rebels. With your discussions, who sometimes get heated, we actually do learn a lot, even if we don't completely understand.

You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know..
It's from The Big Lebowski. I wasn't making fun of you.
Got it. Can I suggest not using quotes that compare people to children in the future, especially when they haven't done anything to deserve it.

You are really something :lol2:

One of the first people to accept Islam was Hadhrat Bilal, a slave. Why would he accept a religion if the very thing he ran away from was also practiced by Muslims? Jesus Christ, where do you get all this from?
I mentioned before that Islam raised the status of slaves as well as women when compared to pre-Islamic era and gave them rights they never had. But compared to the current stage of morality Islamic law needs a big change. Muslims took slaves as Gifts and/or war prizes.

Stoning is not allowed by Islam, it was only practiced, in accordance to Jewish law, until relevant instructions were revealed from the Qur'an.
I am not sure whether thats a fact but its still practiced in some Islamic Countries.. I don't have time for research now.

The women you're referring to as "slaves" were women who were prisoners of war. Rather than imprisoning them and treating them like shit (which they would have had it not been for this) people were given the permission to marry them and have them as wives. With this they were allowed to carry on a decent and normal life (as normal as you can have as a prisoner of war).
I think the correct term is concubines. So let me get this straight, you think its okay for lets say the USA Soldiers to take afghani women as slaves instead of just shooting them? what about not harming them at all?
I go into your country and defeat your army and its okay for me to take your women as slaves because i could kill them if i want to... now thats divine Justice!

The Prophet himself took Maria the Coptic as a concubines and there are opposing theories about whether she died a christian concubine, or died a christian wife or died as a muslim wife. He received her as a GIFT... a woman as a GIFT.

The entire concept of having four wives is not so that you can sleep around. There are different circumstances under which you are allowed to marry more than one wife. None of which include to fulfill your perverted sexual fantasies. The reason why women can't marry more than one man is because most cultures follow paternal lineage.
Women can't marry more than one man because it would've been impossible to find out which is the father (thats one reason i've been told).

But yes part of the concept of having 4 wives is so you can fulfill your sexual fantasies... actually that + having a wife that cant give birth are the 2 most popular circumstances for that.

A book about Human Rights in Islam, written by one of the worlds most brilliant minds of the 20th century.
If you seriously think that Human Rights and Islamic law Go hand in Hand then seriously :andy2: .


Btw, i do not have a wrong understanding of Islam as you claim i do... but obviously Islam manifests itself differently in different parts of the world and points of focus are different.
Plus you are not even a Sunni Muslim so that makes the dialogue between us much more difficult. I have no clue about Ahmadiyya Teachings and so far all my attacks are on Sunni Islam. I'd like the other Sunni Muslims to give their response as well because i hardly believe they share your beliefs

Tahir's acting as if we're mentally challenged and we don't understand what's going on. Of course we can't quote Islamic law, but we do have the ability to get the gist of the conversation. It isn't as if it's that difficult to understand anyway.

Last time I checked this was a Juventus forum, not a Islamic forum. So if people want to have discussions involving Islam they better be willing to accept a few infidels butting in from time to time.
