Islam is the light which shone from the dawn of humanity. To bring humanity into the right guidance. To know what is right and what is wrong - Yusuf Islam          The Muslims Have got Islam as a legacy; hence they fail to recognize its value - Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall          We need spirited, energetic and strong young people whose hearts are filled with life, enthusiasm, zeal and dynamism; whose souls are full of ambition, aspiration and vigour and have great goals, rising and aspiring to reach them until they eventually arrive at their destination - Hasan al-Banna          Love cannot fully express itself without hatred for its enemy and our hatred of falsehood must be proportionate to our love for the truth - Maryam Jameelah           We must begin looking at each other as brothers and sisters…..and not walking brochures. We must see each other’s strengths and encourage those strengths…..We must see each other’s weaknesses and be patient with those weaknesses…..sometimes even look beyond what we see as weaknesses and move on with compassion and love and respect. That takes true faith - Dawud Wharnsby Ali          Those who know they do not know, know that, to know is to know what they do not know - Ibn Sina          Education is our Passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today - Malcolm X          I looked at all friends, but did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought of all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience - Umar bin Khattab (R)

My response you be, Freakly and Burgh are undermining religion because Christianity has been meddled with by people and what is today known as Christianity is in fact grossly flawed. No wonder intellectuals stomp on it happily, but they take it too far when the treat other religions the same!

If Freakly and Burgh are the scholars of ethics they purport to be, they have a duty to objectively study what Sialm says about it all.

I believe that even if they did study "Sialm" they would class it as being quite opposed to ethics! The reason is that, I think, ethics is quite subjective. It will vary (to some degree) from person to person, country to country!

sorry, not 'Sialm,' its 'Islam.'

The stance you're talking about, anon, is 'ethical relativism.'

Ethics as a whole can never be subjective, if it is, then why shouldn't abortion be ok for the people that want to do it and forbidden for the people that frown upon it (given that if one uses reasoning alone, there could be numerous reasons, logical arguments etc on both sides)? What I'm saying is FUNDAMENTAL ETHICS ARE UNIVERSAL.

what I mean is that the main codes of morality applies to all people, all time, all place e.g. the faith in one God, sanctity of human life, kindness, forgiveness, punishment for crime etc...
