That being said anyone who is religious would feel uncomfortable while watching “Religulous”. The name to me was well thought out but offensive, “Religulous” a portmanteau or blend of the two words, religion and ridiculous. To me the movie should have actually been called “Christian Bashing Featuring Some Other Religions for Split Seconds” by Bill Maher. I wrote down many of his questionable quotes that are almost intelligent. Bill Maher is a smart individual but an agnostic can only promote what they know which means not very much when it comes to religion.
He used this to convince other people to switch for a good after life, which is an important thing to them (doc 2). This document suggests that there are options to conversion depending on the religion of the people facing conversion. Muhammad respected “People of the Book” and did not force them into their religion, but they still had to pay tribute. The conversion, though, was required because they had wars against unbelievers. I would not trust this document though, for it is one sided.
It is repeated daily by Muslims. This is essentially what is needed for an individual to convert to the faith of Islam. This establishes obedience and submission to Allah. The second pillar is salat, which is the obligatory daily prayer. Muslims pray five times daily facing the east towards the holy city of Mecca.
Dear Family and Friends, I am writing this letter to share with you the desire I have to serve the Lord with the gifts He has given me. I have been serving the Lord on two different worship teams at The Red Barn for many years; in addition, leading worship for the women’s bible study on Thursday nights for the past few years. I have been on several mission trips with The Red Barns’ Youth group in the past and I am presently growing in Christ through our church’s college and career bible study, as well as a home bible study on Apologetics where I am learning to give reason for the hope that is within me. I share the above things with you not to boast of anything in me, but rather to share that I believe the Lord has been preparing me through these different activities for more responsibility in Him. It is through the Apologetics home bible study that I found out about a mission trip to Port Au Prince, Haiti.
The same cannot be said of modern Islamic states and societies, which lag behind international standards of equality, democracy, and human rights”(32). However, he expresses challenges the opinion of Fadl by disagreeing that literalist readings are exclusively by puritan extremists. It seemed that Fadl’s claims that the only group of people who are seen to take literal interpretations of the Qur’an are those that express and support a violent and intolerant approach to tolerant Muslims and non- Muslims, stating "Narrow and illiberal readings of the Qur'an are not exclusively the province of fringe elements”(32).

• Before setting out, the pilgrim should redress all wrongs, pay all debts, plan to have enough funds for their own journey and for the maintenance of their family while they are away, and prepare themselves for good conduct throughout the Hajj. • In accordance with an article in the Sydney Morning herald about “2 and half million Muslims from more than 70 countries journey to the holy city of Makka each year” to make the spiritual pilgrimage known as the Hajj. This is a blessed journey to the house of Allah, which was built by prophet Abraham. The pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam that form the framework of Islamic life. All Muslims who are physically and financially able are expected to perform the Hajj at least once.
Therefore if a Christian was entering a mosque, out of respect for the Muslim culture, they would also take off their shoes, and vice versa. Some might say that morality and good manners are the same thing, therefore we should adapt our behaviours depending on which society we happen to be in. We should not be so ignorant to realise that our ideas or morals can differ by extremes all over the world, and have no right to try and influence others. If I think ‘Dictatorship is wrong’ is not absolute or universally true. It is true within my culture and society.
“Science is right & religion is wrong.” I personally, believe that this statement is not correct. This is because, there are some phenomenons in this world and in this universe that science can’t explain but religion however can- an example of this is would be the Mayan civilization; They predicted many of the natural disasters that came to be and they were far more advanced than us. This clearly proves that science is not always right and religion is not always wrong. Most Muslims would contradict this statement. This is due to the fact that Muslims believe that we (Humanity) are in the progress of learning and that we will come to understand the truth one day.
One sort of Muslim was the individuals who are companions with the adversaries of Islam: they don't falter to bring about damage to the religion for their own particular intrigues; they spread questions and suspicions against Islam and keep individuals from embracing the religion. Anyhow, since they are a piece of the Muslim group, Islam serves them as a shield. Second sort of Muslim were the individuals who did not chehrish any inclination of adoration for the individual who is a foe of Islam. In the first place kind has been transparently expressed by Allah to fit in with Satan's gathering, regardless of however hard they attempt to be the piece of Islam by swearing pledges to others. Just the second sort of individuals is the ones who will have achievement, and Allah is satisfied
Traditionally American weddings take place in a church, family and friends are formally invited and they have bridesmaids, flower girls, and a ring bearer. The bride and the groom always have a dance too after they have said their vows. Pakistani weddings have two sides, first there’s a religious ceremony at a mosque where there’s a mullah who reads them their vows and there can’t be any music at this part of the wedding because this part is like a Islamic ceremony where the bride and groom make a promise in front of God. After the religious part is over the other part of the wedding usually takes place a week after where they can dance and enjoy. Family and friends play a big role in both weddings; they are the most important part of the wedding.
