If you read the Quran in your native language, you will be astonished! This book is different from the books of Jews and Christians.

@Endubis Месяц назад

It is recommended to recite the Quran in Arabic, as it is the original language of the revelation. However, it is also beneficial to study its interpretation (tafsir) in a language you understand best. For instance, as a fluent German speaker and proficient in Arabic and English, you may find it more comprehensive to read the Quran in Arabic and delve into its interpretation in your preferred language. Personally, I have found translations into German and English somewhat lacking in conveying the full depth and richness of the Quranic text.

Mehdi Hassan is a joke! In one of his debates with Dawkins he claimed he believed that the story about a winged horse was literally true!! Unless he has revised his opinion since that, I would venture there is little point arguing with someone who clearly has such scant regard for evidence or scientific reasoning.

@Phil_Mitchell Месяц назад

This, and I bet if it was revealed that a senior journalist in America for example turned out to believe in miracles from the Bible, he would get at least as much criticism as Mehdi if not moreso. In fact much moreso because that person would find it hard to argue that his critics' were being 'Christianophobic'.

It is weird for Dawkins to lament people not showing up to church. I’m also an atheist, and while I’ll go to churches if invited for some event friends are having (baptism, marriage, funeral, etc.), it’s a bit awkward sitting there while people regularly pray and I’m just looking around the room. I fully agree with people choosing not to go regularly, I’m not sure why Dawkins would find it problematic. If you don’t believe, it’s just sitting in a room. Have people over for lunch if you want community.
