My understanding of Deen is not what is usually perceived. Life is not a game: if you help someone in need you get points and if you drink beer you lose points, and at the end of the game you will lose or win depending on your points. No, I don't think like that. I think that its about love for Allah more than anything, and what you would do to please Him. Intention matters greatly. A woman could be wearing a hijab in Saudi Arabia, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she wants to please Allah by it (I don't think it is necessary, but let's consider it for the sake of the argument), because she's probably wearing it so that she doesn't get arrested for it. But compare this to Western countries: my cousin would always go out in hijab, not because she is forced, but because she considers it part of her faith. Our path is ours and ours to walk alone, and I do not encourage that anyone's path should be influenced by a cleric (especially a zealot) if they don't want it to.
Having had many conversations with atheists, I know how they think. In their minds, a theory is only confirmed if it is proved scientifically. Since the concept of God is not proved in a scientific practical or theoretical experiment, they don't believe. My view of point is different from them.
I'm a) too busy and b) Arabic doesn't come easy to me (I tried once).
I am a God loving person, not a God fearing one. So when Allah says that if you sin and repent, you shall be forgiven, that means that the doors for forgiveness are always open. Then why are we talking about killing homosexuals and adulterers etc? I have an opinion, which is controversial everywhere. The death penalty should be handed to two forms of criminals: murderers and rapists/molesters. Nothing else. That does not contradict with my belief. Death penalty for other crimes does.
