[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Muslima, the more defensive you are about Islam, the less sympathetic people will be.

I am an Orthodox Jew but I can acknowledge that there are parts of Judaism that are difficult - unfair to women, to non-jews, gays.

Religion is hard.  Its difficult for believers to follow and incredibly difficult (if not impossible) for those without the same belief system to understand.

Instead of being so defensive and trying to explain why everything little law is not as bad as it seems, just acknowledge that you have a different belief system and that although some Muslims impose that on others, thats not your interpretation of the Quoran.[/quote]

I am not here looking for sympathy. I answer questions based on my beliefs and Islamic Theology. It is your right to believe that Judaism is unfair to women, I don't know much about it so won't speak for it. I believe Islam liberated women and gave them rights 1200 years before Western women had any rights, it is not an opinion, it is a fact documented through history. I am not going to say otherwise to get sympathy, I  don't believe Islam subjugates women nor do I believe it is a hard religion, it is an easy way of life for those who choose it (keyword=choose) and ironically, women are the most converts of Islam, not men, and they choose so freely.  I guess it's hard to comprehend for Non Muslims, but Muslim women are very happy in the way they choose to live their life. Everything in the life of the Muslim is for the sake of  God, and to get closer to Him, so obviously we have a very different vision and expectation in life than the regular person ....[/quote]

Well, I applaud your devotion but your defensiveness reads as blind devotion. I think extremism often comes from blind devotion and a lack of critical thinking of how it appears and affects outsiders.  There are flaws in every religion and every secular "ism" as well. It doesnt mean that any are not worthy of faith and following but it means those who follow need to admit to those flaws and acknowledge them. [/quote]

Muslims believe that Islam is perfect, no flaws. We believe that Muslims are human and imperfect but Islam is from the Creator so it's the perfect way of life and Islam encourages us to think critically. If you have a question,  you can raise it and get answers.  Yes, that's probably why we are seen as extremists even though we are not lol , we are extreme in how we love the Creator, we put Him above All. The last verse revealed of the Quran was : '
"This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.” 
 
That's perfect enough for me :-)[/quote]

There are a lot of Christians in Iraq right now who would disagree with your assessment. [/quote]

And I'm standing with them against the abomination of IS as Many muslims around the world are. IS didn't represent Islam and don't speak for Muslim[/quote]
