Qasim Rashid, a human rights activist, is an an Ahmadi Muslim. His view is that Islam is a religion of peace. The second article I'm posting a link to is about his campaign to stop the persecution of Ahmadi Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Shias and atheists living in Pakistan.
Richard Dawkins Follows Prophet Muhammad's Teaching on Freedom
The Wrong Kind Of Muslim
I also discovered that the Ahmadi Muslims started the Humanity First organisation.
Do you believe that I never heard about them ?
The area of pakistan/india is really full of surprises !I like their calls to peace, but I don't agree with them in some believes they have.
Quote:But speaking of hell, in comparing Islam's afterlife concept to Dawkins' concept of no after life -- it is only Dawkins' teaching that would frighten children -- or adults. Dawkins would have children believe that after we lose consciousness and die, our bodies simply rot, are eaten by worms and insects, emit a putrid odor, and our self-awareness is destroyed into an eternal agnostic void of nothingness. All our joys, pleasures, friends, loved ones, families--everything we ever held near and dear is all left to eventual death and destruction, never to be seen or heard from again.
On this precisely ; I do agree. Despite being off topic, but I always thought that atheists are more prone to depression & mental disorders,
Opening a website like http://www.bestgore.com will give a person some mental abuse if he/she doesn't believe in heaven & hell.
The most scariest thing I ever imagined is the void. That silent void that extends to infinity, that thought kills me, it's too scary to be true.
Believing in heaven & hell is healthier in my opinion. During my childhood, when the description of hell scares me, I jump to the description of heaven.
Dawkins forgot that heaven also exists
which makes his comparison biased, if hell is giving children mental abuse, then what about heaven ?The Quran stated that but I forgot where the verse is. It literally means :
This book,makes the skin of its reader shrinks in fear, but after that it becomes smooth to call for god's name.
The curve is moving down to the negative side until the person is about to throw up, then it goes up again really fast to "heaven's side", which brings a feeling of salvation .
What do you think, ape ? does hell brings mental abuse to children ?
