Here are a couple of my favorite quote from the book I just finished….
“While salvation in Islam is sought by following God’s laws and decrees, in Christianity it is sought through the acceptance of Christ… Indeed, ‘love’ in Christianity is equivalent to ‘justice’ in Islam.”
While the author was talking about the concept of “shame” in the Islamic world, he pointed out that families can inflict shame on other families through marriage. Then he had the money quote, “It is not uncommon for Arabs to marry out of spite instead of love.” Ouch…
One reply on “Some good quotes”
Yes, it’s sad but true. However I can’t put the blame on Islam here. These silly traditions go back to pre-Islamic times. Arab culture is riddled with ridiculous and nonsensical actions. Which quite often are a direct contradiction of Islamic teachings.
