[quote] I feel this sort of debate is undignified. If someone questions the basis of your belief you question why he is a muslim. [/quote]

Apologies for it was not my intention to offend. It was merely to ask if you believe Islam allows..wife beating, polygamy, slavery & slaying non believers then why do ou believe in such faith. I did not realise it was an offensive to ask someone why they believe in a particular faith for that question has been asked of me and vice versa from people of different faiths. Infact you are actually asking me what you have become offended by:

Forgive me but have I not simply reitrated what you have asked of me?

I have not interperted anything, but simply given you alternative meaning of the verses. Surely ou are aware that every language has infinite amount of words which have different meanings.
Not once you have produced any evidence to expalin why you think the meanings I have given are wrong but seem to be stuck in this interpetation business. Yet you are the one who started the interpertation that 1400 yrs ago slavery,polygamy, slaying and wife beating would not have raised an eyebrow but now seem to be barbaric. Therefore it seems only fair to ask you why are you a Muslim. As I said I did not consider this to be offensive. I suggest you check all the pages where you have questioned me and see if on this criteria how often you have been offensive...although I do not consider you to have been so.

My friend you have raised a number of issues which I have replied point by point yet not once you have answered directly.

I will ask you simply then does Islam allow wife beating, polygamy, slavery and slaying of non believers. If the answer is yes then can you please explain why.

[quote] I am a muslim because I believe Islam is the right religion.[b]However I do not justify my belief by interpreting the Qur'an as I feel suits my understanding of Islam [/b] or makes it more acceptable. [/quote]

Again you are only too willing to question but not willing to answer. 
How can you have a belief which does not suit your understanding...i am afraid you have lost me here. 
Your implication here (which can again according to your own criteria is quite offensive) is that my beliefs in Islam are interperted to make them acceptable to other people...very undiginified assumption dont you think.

I would appreciate a straight answer to above[/quote]
