LDS Islam friendship

[alkymisten]

I´ve set up a Facebook page called: LDS - Islam friendship. Take a look (o: and also enjoy the two videos from Youtube, one with views of temples and one with views of mosques. Anyone interested in creating a similar page on the net (outside Facebook)?

This is cool.

Cool. Note, however, that there are never such gestures coming from the other side

this is not true many Muslims are eager for friendship especially with Latter Day Saints because of our commitment to the family and because of our chastity, fast offerings and we do not partake of alcohol. I know I have many Muslim friends specifically because I am a Latter Day Saint and we have a lot in common.

Here is a great site on LDS- Islam interfaith, startet by two friends. A muslim and a LDS:

Welcome

Islander, not from those considered fanatics [bid Laden and so forth] but those who are truly devoted to the faith. They are passive people and do not subject themselves to violence or murdering in the name of Allah.

If anyone else is interested, read the Koran to receive your own point of view. I have one on my desk.

chastity

Uhm, correct me if I'm wrong, but is Muslim really in favour of chastity?

I think I've read somewhere that they encourage one to "release the sexual tension" by for example self-abuse and/or temporary wives.. But I might be wrong of course.

[Hemidakota]

Ugh no. Any form of abusement is not in harmony of the Koran.

Islam has nearly as many forms as Christianity I know one Muslim friend I met on a course once, had newly moved over from Pakistan and was genuinely surprised that Christianity had many forms. In general at least the ones I have come across have been incredibly chaste.

Very true. My best friend in high school was Muslim. Her family had moved to the US from Saudi Arabia. We had lots of conversations together. Eventually she took the missionary discussions and became a member of the Church. Her family, except for her father, all became members of the Church. The only sad thing is that her family can not go back to Saudi Arabia. Muslims have a very harsh penality about changing faiths.

That changed in the last few years but still not in traditions of the Koran. When the religion was overcome by claimed clerics, without a living prophet, they are subjected by anyone claiming himself being a divine one.

Awesome, this is cool. I'm reading the Qu'ran now. My girlfriend is Muslim.

I should add, she is reading the Book of Mormon.
