MANIFESTO for Islamic Reform
-
So now his messengership and leadership rests on how he does a presentation? what happened to the killing of the armies of God to prove his wisdom and power?
What you need to do is, read the Quran for yourself. Its not a closed book and the stories of the messengers are clear. Read the story of Bani Israil from beginning to end please. From the start of the messengership of Musa, to how it evolves into Bani Israil, to how they ascend in the land to how David attains power.
As for how he does a 'presentation', please note that you have to speak to the people. no mention of ms-powerpoint is mentioned..Lollll.

Its just that you keep changing your criteria of this leader. First he had to destroy armies to prove he has power and wisdom. Then he has to preach the same religion as yours. And now, he has to have good presentation skills. Like God cares if you believe in his messenger or not.

The answer changed because, in case you haven't noticed, the QUESTION changed. The initial discussion was about how a king ascended into power FROM AMONG BANI ISRAIL . Then you asked about an 'ummah of quranic believers' (another concept you will never find in al-quraan, quite a specialty of yours, non-existent concepts) . That changed the trajectory of discussion. So far, as I observe is very typical with you, you haven't quoted A SINGLE VERSE OF THE QURAN. Is there any point in continuing then if the quran isn't even worth you quoting it once? Where in the Quran is your 'democratically' (sic)- elected leader , I might ask ? Did any personality in the Quran to go to believers, let alone humankind and say 'pick me, pick me' ? Do some reading Jaxal, please.

I think Jaxal Questions remained the same. It is you who have not worked out the implications of the question.
Now you are saying Jaxal to read the Quran as if that will answer the question for you. I say this is a cop-out.

Ok tell us what the issue is, please. What is the objective of this discussion.

Reading the Quran is a process which somehow or other gets involved in the business of being a muslim. When you - who can't even tell us what a Muslim is- say 'cop out' , it wouldnt really hold much weight.

No brother, the question didnt change. Argument was, how will a leader be selected. You kept saying he will have to defeat the armies of God like David, to prove his power and wisdom. I said ok, well there is a ummah now, how will they choose a leader. This is where your answer changed. Now, in adition to defeating armies of God, he has to has other skills in order to prove he is a leader / messenger / whatever sent from God.
I said, ok, what if there is a country full of the muslim ummah, how will they choose a leader. You said the geographical something something shouldnt matter. Ok, well there is a ummah all around the world. Who is there leader? How will they chooose their leader? So far, brother, you havent answer it. Your adding qualities that the person must have to be a leader / messenger of whatever it is that you want this person to be.
So, the question is still the same, its the answer that keeps changing.

Please read the story of David, Jaxal. Is there anywhere in the Quran where David is sent to his people and he said 'serve god' ? No. His story is a whole other context! It's the context of the CHILDREN OF ISRAIL. This is whole point, Jaxal.

No, there CAN NOT BE an ummah without a messenger. The messenger comes first and he plants the message in them and those submitting become his ummah. That's why Im saying your question doesn't fit into the Quranic dimension.
Majidah Make LOVE not WAR
Whoa, I don't want to be part Lut's ppl ...lol.

Salaam Jaxal,
You know I am not big fan of this so called democratic system because the majority does not select the best candidate. Look at the American election. Bush got selected by the Supreme court for 2000 and in 2004 all the Evangelist come out in vast majority to vote for this so called man of God.
Did the American 51% choose the right candidate? Ofcourse not.
What happened to Democratic Presidental Candidate?
Democrates pick John Kerry, the man without any agenda. Haward Dean would be much more candidate and the best of all was Dennis Kucinich but unfortunately the best candidates always will be rejected by the vast majority of people because they are ignorant and go for the person with the best media created image personality.
What about the 49% of Americans who did not voted for Bush?
These 49% percent people have to live and accept the politices who only have 2% edge over them.
The democracy is crap where the quantity counts over quality.

How many people chose Saddam?
None of the people.What about the 49% of Americans who did not voted for Bush?
What about 99% of the Iraqis who did not vote for Saddam?
These 49% percent people have to live and accept the politices who only have 2% edge over them.
99% of the people have to live and accept the politics of Saddam at his whim.
The democracy is crap where the quantity counts over quality.
Dictatorship IS A KILLER.
Millions died in the Russian Gulags.
Thousands killed and tortured by Saddam.Democracy is governments by the People for the People. It is not perfect. It is flawed. But it does serve humanity best! Work to make democracy better.

What make love on this forum?
Is that acceptable -)only through private messaging , i think .
Thats a good witty reply chap. I did not believe that you had it in you!
Though I would have spelt "messaging" with "a" as in "massaging" to make it more witter -)Regards,

Salaam all,
Are you playing a game with me????????
I haven't said that we shall make love physically(sexual intercourse) LOL who do you think I am!?
I meant of course that we shall love eachother like brothers and sisters and not only fire patrons on eachother all the time.
And it is totally ok to stop a thread if there is no new evidence brought into it.
And I agree that Quran verses are the best way of proving your point and not only using opinion.
Peace
