[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, it just affirms my faith in Islam because Jesus' importance is undeniable but the Quran explicitly denounces his divinity. [/quote]

Fair enough.

FWIW, the Trinity is a big meh to me and I suspect to many Christians. But, I look at the Quran's rules on women, non-Muslims, apostates, diet, and it reaffirms that I couldn't possibly be a Muslim.

I know you've tried to argue that it's a different sort of equality for women, but your arguments don't work for me when I think of women who need to work or live independently for so many different reasons, and who need equal legal rights and protections to do so.[/quote]

One thing I think we should make clear is that I am not out to try to convert you and I am sure you are not out to try to convert me. As I have said before in this and other threads, Islam believes the gates of Heaven are open to all people of the Abrahamic faiths so there is no need for anyone to try to convert to Islam.

In Islam, trinity and the divinity of Jesus is rejected. As important as Jesus is to Muslims, he is not God to us and that is a huge difference between your faith and mine.

Islam's idea of equality has more to do with equity than linear equality. Islam thinks women and men are too different to treat identically. Thus, in Islam, men are made the protectors of women and women are not compelled to support themselves. Death is also NOT the punishment for apostasy. It's the punishment of apostates who commit treason. I wanted to clarify that. Still, I do not expect for people to consider conversion to Islam. I simply wrote a lot about Islam on these threads only when I saw some inaccurate information being posted.[/quote]
