Muslims are patiently awaiting their Guide and Messiah, Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ , respectively. The belief system of the Taliban is diametrically opposed to acceptable Islamic values.

Dear river, no I find it sad but DMB put it such that it just got me there and then. Anyways did you not see there I also said sorry. That was for you, because I know muslims do not like having fun, especially at the expense of islamic words and deeds. BTW, Mullah umar is on his way to NY after reading your post.

SORRY mate.

No, but islam forbids all the ways of having fun except playing football with infidels' cutoff heads or playing rape with their captured women.

An "infidel" is an awkward translation of the arabic word "Kufr"....It probably became en vogue with the Muslim world some time after the Crusades. It was employed heavily by the Crusaders. An "infidel" can be a Muslim also...it is not restricted to "Christians" and "Jews". A common misconception is that the reader assumes himself/herself to be the "kufr" of the Qur'an before reading and exploring further.

Islam doesn't forbid fun. I watch movies, chill out with friends , play video games and sports... I think you are bit naive.....You should enjoy life outside of the forums and your militaristic verbal warfare.....go outside and have some fun, dude.... :thumbs:

River: I see no difference between your take on islam and the attitude of a lot of xians who post here and are convinced that only theirs is the only true xianity. You may well abhor the Taliban and you may call yourself a muslim. But from their POV they are among the comparatively few faithful muslims and you are an unbeliever.

How am I deemed an "unbeliever" If I believe in G-d and his 124,000 Prophets and 315 Messengers as well as the Hereafter? I really don't care what they think of me. I know who I AM. And G-d knows who I am. In the End thats all that matters (to me)

I don't believe that "Islam" is the only "true" religion. I believe all Religions have a certain degree of "truth value" and that all religions that preceded Islam were divinely authentic during its conception but 'evolved" downward due to human innovation and contamination. I believe the "Islam" mentioned in the Holy Qur'an is the best and most comprehensive expression of G-d's command. However, this does not falsify the earlier truths, in the manner that you implied.

How is he supposed to be like the anti-Mohammed?

Also, I find the Cloak of Kandahar as convincing as the Shroud of Turin and the Tooth of Kandy.

That tooth, allegedly from the Buddha, resides in the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
