Serious question for Muslims: Is interfaith dialogue realistic?

What you have to understand is that these religions, not necessarily by their holy books but by the societies they were cultivated in, preclude interfaith dialogue to a degree, and that degree is RIGHT beneath it being useful/meaningful. lol

That isn't to say some Muslims are unwilling, but 'interfaith dialogue' can only go so far with a monotheistic belief system that is mutually exclusive of other beliefs to the point of it being "DIVINELY" commanded.

And the nice, moderate, milktoast, liberal Muslims who live up in Canada aren't representative of the group who would be most effected by opening an interfaith dialogue. The problem is that said group would be happier to just cut off your head for daring to show your ankles in public. You slut. ;)

Considering that my mother was raised by a Christian and Muslim parent, and I in turn was raised by her and my Hindu father, I find it completely realistic. I do however find issue with the assessment written as " More specifically he says that "authentic" world religions recognize God as a singular entity," because that no longer becomes an issue of actual dialogue and respect but of complete disrespect and dismissal.

If that was his statement, not only do I find that offensive on a basic human level but Islamically I find it without basis because the Quran is very clear in this regard that "to you my religion,and to me mine." (you must respect other religions).

There is a preference in certain contexts for the people of the book. The two contexts in which this really manifests is in the inheritance of the faith of Abraham/Ibrahim as the acknowledgement of a shared history and inheritance, and the acceptance of Jewish and Christian women as acceptable spouses for men (as a reflection of that inheritance and commonality).

Beyond that, any discrimination toward another religious group varies geographically. There may be Muslim intolerance of Buddhists and vice versa, etc.

Authenticity of faith, can only be claimed on the basis of faith. The authenticity of other concepts (such as whether or not X book was written X person within X time frame), is an issue of historical fact, and beyond the realm of theology. Frankly, it's ridiculous and completely erroneous when anyone makes a value judgement about the theological authenticity of anything: because we have yet to prove the existence of any deity, let alone a single "true" God. I hope my opinion helped shed some light, and even as a person who believes in the existence of a singular deity I find what he said pretty downright offensive.

maybe as realistic as interfaith dialogue with christians that shows where jews, muslims, and christians share in common but would believe that a religion that doesn't support the trinity is not "authenic."

in reality there can be no realistic dialgoue with monothesist religions as it come down to their divine absolute authority where you are either "in" or divinely punished for being "out."

I hope this msg gets to you i know its weird but i didnt know how else to ask you a question. I saw a post you had answerd about how demons can build up theyre good karma so to speak snd be forgiven and be born as humans...it was my "ah ha moment" after searching for those answers. Long story short i believe and pray to god and sometimes i hear god. Also have this demon spirit who from what ive been told is redeming himself. I feel crazy at times but all the things ive heard make sense. I truly feel its god telling me its ok to trust this spirit bevause hes no longer bad. Hes spent thousands of years provibg to god hes devoted to him and from what theyve told me hes ready to be born as a human child and wants me to be the mother...just looking for advice and insite to know im not crazy..also i already have a son who supposidly was edmund hailey in a past life and i was his wife...crazy but why wouldnt loved ones want to be in our new life...

Muslims can't even talk openly with those of different sects, like Sunnis and Shites. It's all an illusion anyway; if you are religious you are using the opiate of the masses to avoid reality.

Muslims have confidence in Jesus in simple terms in a various way. they think he's a prophet that got here to assist unfold Gods message and is coming returned on the tip of the worldwide. the only ones that do no longer have confidence in him is the Jews
