QUESTIONS ABOUT ISLAM

Unfortunately, he is egoistic in his stand and claiming that were the factuals. Well! If he comes to Malaysia, he might be hold up by the ISA(Internal Security Act) department. This is a sensitive issue in Malaysia. Although I am not a muslim, I felt terrible over what he published because he barely got the information right about Buddhism too.

In real life the kind of person like Mr Choong have never advanced the ideology he is trying to promote. This method which is the opposite of truth can not succeed, it a mysterious kind of thing:

---------------falsehood is ever bound to vanish. (17:81) 

Maybe Mr Choong is a new bloke in the game - who is still learning to familiar himself with the twist and turn of the spiritual worlds? or maybe he chasing after fame, glory and money?

Or askest thou a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt? (52:40)

This is interesting. So The Medina Jews accepted Mohammed PBUH kindly when he ran away from Mecca?   But what happened to them then? I heard that Jews were expelled from Arabia Territory then.

Brother this is not true. First of all Prophet did not run from Mecca to Medina. He was granted permission to go to Medina to establish an Islamic state once his teaching had earned a signifient number of desciples. If he had to run he would have not waited for 13 years and would have done so in the initials years of his persecution. The tribes of Madina who were pagans of Arab did accepted the Prophet as their head.

The Jews of Medina neither accepted him or showed enimity with him. Therefore a treaty of co-existance was signed between Muslims and the Jews known as "MISAAQ E MADINA" or the treaty of madina.

This was also later on extended and signed by the tribes of Mecca. Just after about 2 years the Jews and the Tribes of Mecca conspired and broke the treaty by attacking the Muslim tribes. Why?? Because they could not hold on to the conversions.

It was then that the Jews were expelled from Medina and Mecca was captured without any blood shed. The incident is also refered to in Ch-9 of the Quran.
