| 1. There is no blood money in Islam. Blood money is an Middle-East tradition which is far older than Islam (which is also non-existant in Turkish culture).
2. Saudis are clearly doing discrimination. Doing it also against Turks.
3. In Quran, woman = man. In Arabian culture they are not. Many confuse these facts. I mean you are not the only one.
4. The Bible and other Holy books also distinquish between believer and non-believer. But this not an excuse for religious discrimination. After all none of the Holy books says do discrimination. On the contrary Quran says that a Muslim must be an example in his kindnes and tolerance.
5. I never said terrorists are uneducated people. Many terrorists are uneducated people. Not the ones who are leaders or the ones who have special missions like crushing a plane.
6. I have read several verses of Quran in Turkish and English translations. I do not know Arabic but know the meaning of many words (The ones that crossover to Turkish language). I must say I did not see a good English translation yet.
7. Jihad means struggle in Arabic. In Quran there is 2 Jihad. The greater Jihad is against a person's his own evil desires. The lesser Jihad is to help other co-believers. It need not to be a war. For example helping other Muslims against a natural disaster is also a Jihad. By its nature Jihad had to be defensive. A Jihad can only be called against a nation who is doing religious discrimination against Muslims or a Muslim nation being invaded by a non-Muslim one. One can not declare Jihad to invade another country. That is why Ottomans never declared Jihad against its Western neighbours. Ottomans did declare Jihad against Portugese in 16th century and against British during WW1. Because these countries have conquered Muslim countries.
It is obvious that you do not know what Jihad is.
8. I know the life of Hz. Muhammed very well. Unlike most of the other religious leaders, he was also the political leader of a nation. I can remember only Hz. David and Hz. Suleyman of other religious leaders who were in the same position. Being political leader can force a man to do violent measures. The age was a violent one and he was much more tolerant then other leaders of his age.
9. I do not know if the Quran is a word of God. I believe it so. Believing is also not knowing. If you know, you do not have to believe.
10. I do not quate from Quran because I see believing as a personal thing. I am not asking anyone to share my belief.
11.
I agree. I hate noone. Can you say the same?
