khaan:
as i said elsewhere, theres no command telling people: "THOU SHALT NOT ACCEPT METAPHORS" is there?

and fyi, yes. as well as its annotations, which is something you NEED if you want to understand it.

Rhuan:
khaan is a friend of mine who I have religous arguments with on a daily basis.

In his opinion, everything he finds in the quran that doesn't agree with his oppinion of what is right is a metaphor, however, I really can't work out quite what surah nine verse five could be a metaphor for...

Anyway, from his strange point of view, Islam teaches the same message as the declaration of human rights...

I can't see how that works myself...

khaan:
Surah 9 is what god said to mohammad before the battles with the arabs. its not commands for modern day. any annotation will tell you that.

it would work extremely well. a theocracy under ahmadiyyat would be like any other modern democracy, just without its bad things like prostitution, pornography, alcohol, gambling, monetary debt, and interest. (and there'd be a clothing restriction - knees to shoulders covered in public unless youre swimming or something)

my opinion of what is right is based on the ethics my dad gave me when i was little, which was all based on islam.

Rhuan:
A holy book is not meant to need annotations.
