God just delays the torture until the afterlife in your religion. That's nice of him.God does not ask for your conversion. Nor does he want it. Allah is an Arabic word for God. What does that have to do with muslims who demand you observe islam or you will die? Did you float that red herring on purpose?
Muslims say convert or they will cut your head off in front of your family. I say, if you don't want to be with God, fine. He won't force you. Being cast from his presence will in fact be torturous for you. That is the part you are missing.
If I don't humble myself for salvation what happens to me?Funny that shaggy wants to compare man humbling himself and trusting in God for salvation to a muslim chopping the heads off of non-muslims.
Neither Christianity nor Islam is being practiced as originally intended - for centuries, both have been high-jacked to provide pretexts for secular ambitions.
Before "ClimateSanity" writes off our Islamic neighbors as being incompatible with Western values, it should be noted that it was these so-called "Christian" nations, not the "Islamic" ones, who were the major protagonists in both WW1 and WW2!
London's Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan believes Islam is completely compatible within Western Society yet studies contradict this claim. Below are the results of a study on a representative 1081 muslims of the more than 3 million living in Britain:
Only 74 percent completely condemn “suicide bombing to fight injustice”;
Only 66 percent completely condemn stoning those who commit adultery;
Only 53 percent completely condemn violence against those who mock Muhammad;
Only 34 percent would contact police if they believed someone close to them was involved with jihadism;
23 percent believe Sharia law should replace British law in areas with large Muslim populations;
52 percent believe homosexuality should be illegal;
31 percent believe polygamy should be legal;
39 percent believe women should always obey their husbands;
35 percent believe Jews have too much power in the UK.
Is the Muslim mayor correct or is Donald Trump?
Hitler didn't advocate killing Jews while campaigning either. He just got the fear of them rolling until after he was elected.Donald is totally right
He is not advocating blowing them up or chopping their heads off. He is advocating stopping them from coming into the country until we can figure out what is going on with them
Convert or burn in hell for eternity sounds just as scary, does it not?
Islam was inspired by the teaching of Jesus
God just delays the torture until the afterlife in your religion. That's nice of him.

Also I have had many Muslim friends and neighbours when living in Birmingham UK, it even got flagged up in America as a no go zone because of Muslims! what a load of nonsense they were kind neighbours, brought me food, asked me over for dinner and invited me to weddings and birthday parties. Not once did anyone talk to me about God, no one tried to convert me. Extremists are not even Muslims and no Muslim would assume them to be Muslim.
Sharia Law is not Islam
I get that, but why does he throw the whole torture bit in with it? Seems vengeful and unnecessary.You will be eternally separated from God, who you will have chosen to be separated from.

You said torture, and ive asked you numerous times in various discussions to cite where scripture says God will torture you.
The onus is on you to show where it says that, since you keep saying its there.
You admit you choose yourself to remain separated from the One who made you for His purpose, and yet complain about potentially getting what you admit you want.
You may not believe the torture bit when sent to Hell, but many (most) Christians do believe the Fire and Brimstone stuff. And since this is a thread based on whether GENERAL Islam is compatible, I'm making the comparision to GENERAL Christianity.
Or should you not be judged by the most popular Christian beliefs that you personally don't hold while holding all Muslims to the standards of the extreme?
We seem to be at an impasse. You keep saying torture those who refuse to get saved and claiming the bible says that, and im asking you where, can you not back your own claim?
What you claim others have said, is irrelevant. I am talking to YOU. You made the claim, back it up.
Or do we agree, the bible says no such thing.
