totally, totally against it. i have personally seen people take advantage of reservations and not work hard to earn their place, while those who actually work hard are left fending for themselves. there can be special considerations to people who actually need it. this system came into being when the fore mentioned classes were indeed backward and couldn't afford education and other amenities without special consideration. but now the divide is dissolved to a large extent, yet we see the practice still prevalent.
a child is a blessing, no matter in what form it comes. just like getting raped was not your fault, getting pregnant was also not yours, nor is the child's. it doesn't make any sense that the rapist continues to live while the child is killed for no fault of his. it should be the other way around. plus, i know i am way out of moral line when i say this, that child is the proof that the person u r accusing is indeed the rapist. no way to dispute that in court isn't it.
yes we should. porn is disgusting, its a universally accepted fact, plus its not real. watching porn creates a false sense of what the act of sex is, it raises unrealistic expectations which when remained unfulfilled leads to mental disorders. porn addiction is a real problem. so why is there still a question that censoring is necessary? the facts are out there, no one acts because it is a source of economy. its all about money, that's it.
First of all, he was not the founder of islam. prophet mohammed pbuh was the propogator of islam. islam's main view is that god is one.. and that is the concept that existed way before he was born.
secondly... when a criminal is sentenced, the main view is to punish the guilty but also to send a message that no crime goes unpunished. when one woman was punished for her crime, how many more will refrain from it. if it goes unpunished, many might adopt the way of adultery, where is the loyalty and trust in a marriage? imagine the disputes and problems that could be avoided.
next point- there is no verse about being violent towards non believers. the context you are talking about is the one where non believers were oppressive towards the believers, driving them into corners. then and only then was the concept of retaliation approved and that to only against those who have been oppressive towards the believers and not towards innocent. imagine someone constantly trying to throw you out of your house, what would you do? simply leave or fight back?
next point, quran doesn't tell us that we will go to heaven if we kill non believers. this again is out of context, the true context being, it is praise worthy to fight for your religion when, only when you are being oppressed solely for your beliefs and only in a state of war when they take up arms against the believers first. the truth is, if you kill a non believer, just because of his faith, you end up in hell.
lastly, as for the cutting of hands is concerned, this again is in line with the argument of adultery. if you steal unnecessarily then your are punished so that other may take a lesson from you and refrain from stealing. imagine if so many people stopped stealing fearing the punishment, its your belongings that will be safe.
Still think mohammed pbuh didn't preach peace?
there is always a context behind every verse of quran, find that out first before accusing solely on literal basis.
if you don't want to have a child, don't have sex. its as simple as that. just because you had a slip in the moment doesn't mean someone else has to lose a life. if you don't know the consequences of your actions, dont do it in the first place. its not like you will die if you don't have sex, but someone else will die if you abort. don't try to justify that taking a life is of least importance than controlling your desire to have sex.
depends on the cases. sometimes abortion is necessary if the pregnancy leads to the mother's life threatening conditions. but in other cases, it shouldn't be allowed. like you just cant abort a child because you slipped in your precautions while having sex, or if you get pregnant pre marital. its your fault, you face the consequences rather than taking a life.
yes it is. a man and a woman are physically and emotionally different. by having both, the child gets the best of them. the emotional empathy from his mother and a social out view from his father. though some are not blessed with both and some have neither despite having both, its circumstantial. in general sense, a child needs both.
the definition of freedom changes as per the feelings of the person. why did you not help them when you could? ans- my wish, i am free to do as i please.... why did you not inform them of the impending tragedy? my wish... etc etc. freedom is only an escape route that we adopt when we don't want to do something. now a days its all about my life my rules, my question is, what's wrong in thinking about others a little, after all no matter where we run to, we co exist. what's wrong in making it peaceful for us as well as for them?
one might argue that humans evolved billions of years ago through the natural changes that took place in the earth. going back to the big bang which is ultimately thought of as the basis from which creation began, big bang is the violent explosion of compressed material. i am speaking in layman terms. now the question is, how did those gases come into being. i am sure someone will have an answer to that, then again the question arises, how did that thing come into being and so on... ultimately it comes down to God, he created us, whether you want to believe it to be in a direct or indirect manner is your wish.
All are equal irrespective of their colour, and today's date where technology is so advanced, changing color is not at all an issue moreover, any person is black or white depending on the part of the world he belongs to and that is because of the natural climate, way of living and genetics of the people residing in that part. it doesn't make white race high and other race low.
its against nature, as simple as that. if this is the question now, later people will start asking... whats so bad about having abortion? or whats so bad about hitting a kid? or what so bad about cheating? i don't support the discrimination against people just coz they r gay, they are as much human beings as you or i, but that doesn't mean its right. the primary reason why people argue against being gay is because it goes against the natural laws of procreation and moral laws of raising a family with both mother and father present. true gay people do adopt kids but it is a universally accepted fact that a mother is needed by the child foremost.
though its true that more often than not morality possesses itself as a hindrance to science but science itself is taken up for the betterment of human kind. how exactly are we helping humans by torturing humans unless we consider one life to be better than the other. when morality goes away from science, it pays way to ambitions that harm people, turning it into a viscious cycle. there has to be morality because there can always be another way to reach the desired conclusion.
