The Stoning of Soraya M

[Soraya]

They need The Qur'an. Now!

Despite having the Quran..The core of their belief is wrong coz they do not use the accurate version of Quran..They use literal words out of it.

Peace.

I have a feeling they're not using Qur'an at all.
I have a feeling they're using tradition and even then a non-Islamic one.
Sad.

Peace.

This upsets me very much. No matter how many websites cite how stoning and other horrendous sayings and practices encouraged by hadith are misconceptions, none of it matters when so many Muslims believe in them to be true and follow them. This makes them not misconceptions, but blatant truths to all who view Islam from the outside, especially Americans who are being trained by the media to view Muslims as bloodthirsty slavering savages. When I view Islam from a quran-only perspective, I get a view of a righteous people who strive for good and forbid what is wrong. But holding these beliefs makes me disgusting, and even deserving of death by many of my fellow traditional Muslims. It breaks my heart to see how successful shaitan has been in corrupting Allah's way with the hadith. Sometimes I feel like all is lost for traditional Islam on the whole, and that all I can do is silently endure on my own until death.

You made an excellent point (highlighted above) - I've had concerns over that too though never really put it in those words. We can argue all we like but when the majority has faith in hadith then it's quite hard to move from there and yes we are viewed as deserving of death by some. Wow

?Literal? ?What is literal from the Qur'an concerning lapidation? It is precisely literal what it is not.
