Re: Miracles in Islam
When I think of Islam, I think of terrorists killing thousands of innocent people as well as themselves in the name of their religion, I think of the constant fighting going on in the Middle East, and their women covered from head to toe not allowed to show anything.
Though this is just my personal image of Islam, I'm sure many other Christians see this "image" as well and just completely write Islam off. Most probably wrote Islam off after 9/11 and the whole Jihad thing. Though I think I'll get flamed for bringing my personal view into this discussion, it has some substance as many others probably view Islam the same as I do. I would think the Islam conversion rate would drop heavily because of this image.

I’ve seen over and over in my own life just how damaging extreme Christian beliefs are, so I have no doubt that extreme Islamic beliefs are damaging.

Re: Miracles in Islam
Converting is just the new fashion statement for the radically tolerant, and I don't think I'm kidding either. And your views are very stereotypical and probably unhealthy. My neighbour is an muslim and she's nice and cute as they come and loves pink miniskirts more a burka it would seem, and we've been drunk together on many occasions and she has never spilled the beans on any ongoing jihads.

[/ QUOTE ] Just for clarification... it took me a while to figure this out myself. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism(all the Western religions) share this "damaging" aspect because they all practice a close minded philosophy believing that everyone else is wrong and they are right and will be the only ones saved. Buddhism, is a religion, but it practices acceptance of all people and beliefs and is integrated with the Zen way of life. Zen is a philosophy and Buddhism is the religion that practices it.

Re: Miracles in Islam
back to the original subject (splendour, just stop talking).
# 2 Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, # Mark 8:12 Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation." so if one is to believe christianity to be true, these other more "current" miracles don't mean a thing.
