Intro, 3 questions, my story!

lol, if you don't think like them it is unlikely for them to get your view.
Oh no, I'm not at all interested in shifting their view. I was simply stating that the other communities here are conservative (don't bother each other). A good area to build something.
Did you read Al Qaida's A Course in the Art of Recruiting? The brainwashing tactic, they use seems to be heavily focused on talks about heaven and hell. You can take a look at it here http//www.onemagazine.es/pdf/al-qaeda-manual.pdf Note that the entire manual is a "brainwasher" targeted even at the recruiter. It is an eyeopener. I haven't found a single page in which the writer tells the recruiter and his target to refer to Quran. The brainwashing is heavily dependent on "lectures" of the mullahs.

lol, I know that very well. Sorry, I didn't it clear it up. I meant them trying to shift your view.

Oh it was a reply to his post.

I didn't think so. I've known her for about 10 years. I knew her family, she knew mine.
I thought we were laying a solid foundation.

..............Salaam/Peace be upon you, Kosq,
welcome
I have learned it the hard way that there is no Solid Foundation at all for a Marriage,
except the strong Belief and deep Devotion of a Man and a Woman in their hearts to the Same GOD.
And only and especially when/if that Same GOD Blesses that Marriage, in the first place.In this respect, the most ideal and long lasting Marriage of Prophet Abraham and Prophetess Sara
may be the Perfect Example, for all of us. (Please, see it in TORAH, Genesis, Chapter 20, 21, 22, 23)
http//biblehub.com/esv/genesis/20.htmI guess that Woman who betrayed you (for the sake of a concocted idol now) may know this true Love Story
(=of course, it is not like empty "love --of money-- stories" of our time, but Love --of AL-LAH-- Story above)
better than us because it is in their BIBLE.So, if I were in your shoes, this is what I would do
I would do my best to let that Woman hear and know that
we absolutely believe in the Same GOD (=The One and Only GOD of Abraham).Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon Him) clearly foretold about and strongly confirmed the QURAN,
especially for/in this Third and Last Day (=i.e. Third and Last Millennium here now)===============================
The Words of Prophet Jesus
http//www.19covenant19.com/mucize_detay_id182.htmlIf she truly gives ear and hearkens to this true GOSPEL MESSAGE above,
may AL-LAH make her return to you like a "Sara" (=Princess),
if not, may AL-LAH grant unto you --and unto each and every of HIS truthful Servants-- a "Sara" (=Princess),
in the future, inshaAL-LAH,
when/if we hearken to the MESSAGE of AL-LAH with all our heart & mind & soul & strength.Remain in peace/salaam.

Peace Everyone,
I've been roaming the website for a few years now actually. I've enjoyed so many topics and views. It has certainly been a blessing. I'm utterly bummed out that there is no mosque available to me that does not compromise the Deen. It's been over 10 years since I've been a part of a religious center and I do miss aspects of it. I desire most of all to be around like minded people who want to make a positive difference in the world. So if you're close to Philadelphia (I'm in Wilmington) I'd love to meet you!
Question- Why are there only like one or two mosque that claim to uphold the Quran only (or perhaps I'm wrong)? How come they aren't springing up all over the country?
The past two months have been challenging for me. I was engaged to marry an amazing Christian woman whom I truly loved. I felt totally secure in the relationship. She posted a detailed, beautiful post about me (us) that brought so many of her family and friends to tears (including my mother). It marked 6 months of being together. She expressed that it was the "most amazing experience of her life". Yet, less than 3 weeks later, she was giving me an ultimatum to, "Fully accept Christ or we can't be together". For the following 5-7 days I did my best to reason with her to no avail. She said that God had called her into His ministry and that I had a choice to make. She apologized for letting the relationship go on as long as it did while knowing in her heart of hearts that our religious difference didn't sit well with her. We prayed together each night (we would alternate who prays), but she never added Christ to the prayer out of respect for my beliefs (I never asked her do that-I simply shared my views with her). Said she had recently asked God for forgiveness for not including Christ in our prayers. Anyway, this is the 2nd thing I'm bummed out about ( Peace/ Love to all
peace Kosq and welcome to the forum handshake
RED mosques costs a lot of money and imo there are better things to spend our money on than a mosque.
As for your relation problem, I am unfortunately not an expert in these kind of things to give you some good advice.
What does she mean with fully accept Christ? Does it mean you have to believe and act exactly as she does, or just simply believe in Christ? -

Peace Bender. Thank you
I'm not referring to something that would require a lot of money per say. Just somewhere for us to come together. People want to know where they can go to meet with God alone Muslims. One brother said that he and 15+ others meet regularly in India. I used to secure a conference room once per week at my local library so 7 of us could convene for a self improvement class.

She meant to accept him as God's son and the king God placed over His kingdom. These I could not do. Anyway, I just have to make sure the next time around that I and the woman I am building with are truly aligned in our beliefs and values. It's the only way for me moving forward.
Peace

The Messiah warned already for Synagogues. Read the Gospel. We learn from the Quran that the Gospel is Light and Guidance. What we also learn from the Gospel is to go to our room, and close the door, and pray there in private to God.
Anyways, i have never, ever, seen a mosque that is free from "shirk".
And the point is, we shouldn't forget about the Tabernacle.
