I disagree. They have grounds for these views from hadith though unfortunately, I don't know the exact Hadith number it is nor who narrated it.

If I find the video for it, I will mention this

The majority of traditional sources state that Aisha was betrothed to Muhammad at the age of six or seven, but she stayed in her parents' home until the age of nine, or ten according to Ibn Hisham,[28] when the marriage was consummated with Muhammad, then 53, in Medina.[29][30][31]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad% ... t_Abu_Bakr
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad% ... _hadith-30
Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.

The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

Is there someone present who is completely, entirely objective and extremely learned in all religions? I need to be completely, absolutely, totally, definitely sure about this religion before I continue to risk my health for it. :)

Firstly, I'm losing a lot of sleep to reading the Quran and constantly searching every other concept on Google two hundred times. Secondly, stress is a real problem if you're seriously considering conversion to the one religion that everyone around you is constantly condemning. So I need to be sure before continuing. :)

The question is if it is heresy. One way or another, I'm fairly sure I'm considered a heretic by some groups (yeah, Catholics, and yeah, Baptists, and definitely Pentecostals).

Not everyone condemns Islam.

It would be more than awkward if I were to be condemning Islam. But my parents, friends, pastors, all of them keep saying that you guys are all terrorists who are brainwashed into hating all Christians. I know that's not true, but that's what they say.

Undoubtedly you are a heretic already, but Islam is quite different in its blasphemies, such as rejecting the crucifixion and divinity of Christ as well as rewriting the works of the prophets.
Remember John 3:16 and keep it close to heart.

We're all someone's heretic... well... except us atheists who are just everyone's nonbeliever.

"Undoubtedly you are a heretic already" is - fun fact - not a good way to start out when speaking to a near-apostate. That being said, evidence?

What are you asking evidence for? The tenets of Protestantism are condemned as heresy, that being Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide, but any Muslim can tell you that they reject many of Christ's aspects.

Amazing.

What they say is not true.

This is why we Ahmadis are so passionate about preaching all the time. I can't speak for other Muslims so I'm just speaking from what I know of of my community

In the end, it's really his choice to choose his religion. God guides whom he wills.

We may not agree on who God is or what he is, but I hope we can at least agree to the fact that there is only one God, who sent Moses, Jesus, and Abraham.

Did ever happened, in front of your eyes, that Shia convinced Sunni to be of wrong version of Islam, or vice versa, through civilized and intelligent debate?
"Those who reached my boundary, their seed is not; their hearts and their souls are finished forever and ever. As for those who had assembled before them on the sea, the full flame was their front before the harbour mouths, and a wall of metal upon the shore surrounded them. They were dragged, overturned, and laid low upon the beach; slain and made heaps from stern to bow of their galleys, while all their things were cast upon the water." - Ramesses III., Battle of the Delta

I know what's considered heresy, thank you. Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria. I've learnt all of it, I know all of it. Resurrection, demons, angels, saints, Pope, Bible, prophecy. I assure you, I know everything that can be known about Christianity. Three years of intense study. What I want to know is, is it true? Also, goodness, I know John 3:16. "For God so loved the world, that He sent His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life." I know a lot more Bible verses than that. Proverbs 24:14. Ecclesiastes 4:2. Romans, John, 1 Corinthians. I have done a fair bit of memorization. Closer to heart seems difficult.

I admire the piety of Muslims, as well as the shared beliefs between us. However, apostasy is a grave sin, and no different from rejecting eternal life.

These people are so blind and arrogant that it's not even about religion anymore. It's now about personalities

I wanna laugh, but considering the violence we face....maybe not.


Excellent, we are making progress.
Hold this realisation that a constant threat of violence is not funny, nor nice.
Then realise that is also true for nonmuslims (I know, this is hard)

Then go to the mosque and preach the realisation that nonmuslims are people as well.
Yes, even gays, pagans, jews, girls wearing short skirts and people who own a jewellery store.

Hopefully many will take the lesson to heart. And hopefully other people will notice that muslims as a group are finally making a serious effort to fix the problems in their subculture.
