A couple of questions #2

. . .lol Wut?

In Quran, people are addressed as two different types, when required to that is, believers and unbelievers. You see, there are no specific terms like atheits/buddhists/whatever, since they aren't required anyway. It refers to the followers of the truth, muslims, as believers, or the people who deny the faith, doesn't matter what religion/belief they are of since it all comes down to the same, as unbelievers. I don't need to "use some other definition cuz it doesn't exist in the Quran" apparently, Quran doesn't claim of the unbelievers (obviously any of them) or their ideologies not having the right to exist, hence to answer your question as to whether the term unfidel exists, yes it does, you have the freedom to believe whatever you feel right, as I simply put earlier.

No. And neither is it condoned by Islam. It is considered murder. Murder is punishable by death in Islam.

2. do you think quran is infallible and every word should be taken in its literal face value?

Yes, I believe the Qur'an is infallible.

I am not too sure about your terminology "literal face value" because not everything can be taken "literally" in the Qur'an (referring to the definition of literal) because Allah uses a lot of metaphors and symbolism in the Qur'an when explaining things.

3. do you believe that term infidel has the right to exist? (if you do, please substantiate it)

According to the dictionary:

Infidel:  An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion, especially Christianity or Islam.

4. as a muslim do you feel superior to other religions or human beings

As a Muslim/human, I don't feel superior to anyone, even people of other religions.

But I do believe that Islam as a system is superior to other systems or ways of life - yes. It would be hypocritical to say no, because why would I choose to be Muslim then.

5. if all the world could be turned peacefully into islam, would see benefit in it?

Yes - provided they were good Muslims.

6. if all the world could be turned violently into islam in one day, would you see benefit.

No. Like the Qur'an says: "Let there be no compulsion in religion".

I would appreciate if you can formulate your opinion on the following topics:

1. do you condone honor killings?
2. do you think quran is infallible and every word should be taken in its literal face value?
3. do you believe that term infidel has the right to exist? (if you do, please substantiate it)
4. as a muslim do you feel superior to other religions or human beings
5. if all the world could be turned peacefully into islam, would see benefit in it?
6. if all the world could be turned violently into islam in one day, would you see benefit.

P.S. That's a lot of questions, but I think most of them are yes/no answers. So if you simply answer yes or no that would be great. Of course if you want to be specific, by all means please do.

Thanks.
Elijah.
