Angels Of Islam Are Not Sent From Allah

The Qu'ran is the ONE true book, Arabic is the ONE true language, and the true name of God is Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet according to Islam. Muhammad was supposedly illiterate . The Angel Jibra'el came to Muhammad to deliver Allah's word which makes up the Qu'ran. You are saying that Allah sent an angel with a name referring to the God of the Hebrews to deliver his new message to the world? You are saying Allah who was delivering the new true book in arabic sent an angel whose name means he belongs to the Hebrew God EL? I mean this is THE ANGEL! Jibril in Arabic just means archangel. In arabic the names of the angels are meaningless. They lose all importance. If you try to investigate their meaning you will see an Hebrew origin. If Allah is the perfect name of God which leaves no ambiguity would he not have named the angel Jibrallah in order to prove he sent him? Would not all his angels be named in Arabic? Islam supports our Bible is corrupted and many muslims propose the name of God in the Bible is lost. Allah said our Bible is corrupted and gave you a new book in Arabic but yet has angels with hebrew names. Allah is used 2669 times in the Qu'ran. EL was never used. A name not belonging to Allah but belonging to a corrupted book of those you cannot trust is the name of the angel who gave Muhammad his new, true, and uncorrupted book. Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. (Qur'an 20:8) and EL is not one of them. "Allah" is the name which God has chosen for Himself, as stated in Verse 9 of Surat Al-Naml (Chapter 27), and Verse 14 of Surat Taha (Chapter 20) of the Holy Quran. Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. (Qur'an 20:8) and EL is not one of them. I propose the writer of the Qu'ran just knew the names of the angels of the Bible. The meaning of these names was not understood. Most Arabs were named after plants found by their homes. An oops to be found later. If Allah sent angels to give his new book in arabic he would have given them Arabic names and not Hebrew ones.
You cannot have a morality with out a creator or creators.

A gold smith crafts an amullet with the purpose of seducing the neighbours daughter what he doesn't know it's that the gold the amullet is crafted from is cursed and it ends kills the young lady the same moment it touches her hand. Did the amullet work right or wrong ? Did the amullet behave as it was supposed to ? No and No. If you didn't get my argument post it in the comment section I would be glad to clear any missunderstandings.
You cannot have a morality with out a creator or creators.

The brain is how we think, how we process information. Everything you know is a construct of your mind. This includes morality. You know the term "morality" because you learned it at one point. What is moral and not is learned through life experiences. The human brain develops empathy as we grow up. It's capacity to learn empathy is a societal necessity. Without it, we as a species would be less successful in propagating, which is what all life is hard-wired to do. From empathy, one can see from another's perspective and realize that other people's lives have a significance comparative with his/her own. Morality is the result of taking other people's perspective and valuing them/AKA not being a selfish jerk. This feeling of empathy allows us to know that murder, theft (under most circumstances), exploitation, rape, etc. are wrong. All of this I believe is either common knowledge or the result of clear logic. Hence, no sources.
The JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act) should be repealed.

I propose that this debate be organized in the following structure:1) Introduction to Debate; each debater introduces him/herself and accepts either the position of pro/for or con/against.2) Statement of Argument; each debater may produce an argument supporting their position.3) Rebuttal and Conclusion; each debater may address/refute the points argued by their opponent and state their conclusion.IntroductionI am a first-year student in political science. I have limited experience in debate but enjoy familiarity with the topics involving this issue.Acceptance of PositionI will be arguing the position of pro: The JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act) should be repealed.
The JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act) should be repealed.

Summary of JASTA The primary function of JASTA is to amend the federal judicial code to narrow the scope of foreign sovereign immunity. JASTA establishes federal court jurisdiction over civil claims regarding both acts of international terrorism and wrongful acts committed by foreign officials. (Citation #1) To summarize the intent of the legislation, JASTA is intended to allow private citizens of the United States sue Saudi Arabia for compensation for the latter’s complacency in the September 11th terrorist attacks. Presentation of Argument I assert that JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act) should be repealed. I support this assertion with two arguments: 1) JASTA is unenforceable. JASTA assumes that the federal courts of the United States hold authority over independent nations. This premise is incorrect. International law recognizes the nation-state as sovereign; assuming Saudi Arabia does sponsor terrorist organizations, there is no mechanism to extort funds or punish the aforementioned. Given that JASTA is unenforceable, civil proceedings held within the United States are insubstantial. In addition to wasting national energies, this legislation misinforms victims of terrorism who could otherwise pursue legitimate action to rectify the situation. 2) JASTA does more harm than good. JASTA sets dangerous precedent. As the hegemonic power, the United States facilitates invasions, drone-strikes, rebellions, and interventions to preserve national interests. Citizens of Japan, Iran, and Iraq all possess legitimate greviences against the United States. Should civil prosecution against states become commonplace, the United States demonstrates far more to lose than to gain. In simple terms, by enacting this legislation, the United States legitimizes the complaints and compensation of foreign citizens by the United States (and ultimately taxpayers). Address to Opponent I have purposefully presented two short arguments against JASTA. Both arguments are based primarily on international precedent and the institutions that currently exist. My primary goal during this round was to present my points concisely in a manor easy to understand. If necessary, I can substantiate these arguments further with additional evidence and explanation. I am excited to hear your position. I would like to thank you for engaging in this debate. Citations (Citation 1 - A Congressional Summary of the Legislation) https://www.congress.gov...
should extreme sports be banned

I wil be taking the position that extreme sports should not be banned. My reasoning is that the people who take part in these sports know about the danger but still take part anyway. I am an experienced racing kart driver who has experienced many major crashes and even had a very close call last week with a stuck throttle and no brakes. But it still doesn"t stop me from competing and I"m yet to see someone stop racing due to a crash. In summary, yes the sports are dangerous but it shouldn"t be banned. There are a lot more dangerous things out there, so why end someone"s passion because of a known danger in the sport?
I think Hummus is delicious

Thanks to my fellow foodie for such a delicious debate opportunity. By delicious however, I am not referring to hummus of course! The resolution "I think hummus is delicious" can be negated one of two ways. 1: I can try to disprove or discredit your capacity to think 2: I can prove that hummus is not delicious. (Or in layman's terms... IT SUCKS!) #1 - First of all arguing that you think you have some opinion is an entirely subjective issue, one which is very difficult to disprove. However by saying "I find that I am often wrong when I have thoughts," provides strong evidence that you are not only wrong when you think, but you are wrong OFTEN. This means that it must be a regular occurrence an more often than not, your thoughts deceive you. Also, for an idea such as whether you think something tastes good or not to be too complicated for your mind to comprehend, that would put your level of intelligence near the bottom rungs of the phylogenetic tree. #2 - Second I will prove that hummus is not in fact delicious. First off, it has the consistency of cat barf. Hummus is made of simple ingredients such as tahini (sesame seeds ground into paste), lemon juice, salt and garlic. Those are all flavorings used to spice up the main ingredient which is chick peas. I'm sorry but chick peas just plain suck! They taste like wet cardboard and are about as pleasant to eat. Unfortunately, even when seasoned and mashed into barf, it still tastes like wet cardboard, only with a little lemon juice thrown in the mix. (Maybe the root cause of the cardboard being wet) All in all, that adds up to a very unpleasant eating experience. Lemony cardboard cat barf. That about sums up the appeal of hummus. MMMM... TASTY! Hopefully you can now see the error in your claim. Hummus is not delicious, nor do you think it is. Hummus just plain makes me want to barf. (On a side note, I actually love hummus myself. After that compelling argument, I think I'll go have me some.) (On another note I also love to eat barf. It tastes sooooooooo good.)
I think Hummus is delicious

So I'm sitting here at my desk, and suddenly I'm struck with a thought. I'm eating pretzels with Hummus, and suddenly I realize that I freakin love hummus. It's delicious. Or at least, I think that it is. However, I find that I am often wrong when I have thoughts. My brain simply isn't capable of processing an idea that complicated. Therefore I ask you to attempt to prove that I do not think hummus is delicious, and I will argue as best I can, and in the end I'll have a better idea of whether I actually like it. Thank you. Oh, definition time. Hummus: is a Levantine Arab dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. It is a popular food in various local forms throughout the Middle Eastern world. (http://en.wikipedia.org...)
Women are very sensitive

Due to the body build up and difference, men are capable of taking more hits than women, I had been punched extremely hard by another guy in the face about five to seven times and left with a numbed face but no bruise, women on the other hand may fight back but they tend to bruise easier and get damaged more easily than men. Imagine if you were to hit a pregnant women in the stomach, that would be harming an unborn child, women give birth to all, men do not get the right to hit women unless necessary

An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly woman whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: DEAREST WIFE, JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW. YOUR LOVING HUSBAND P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It got crowded in heaven, so, for one day it was decided only to accept people who had really had a bad day on the day they died. St. Peter was standing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, "Tell me about the day you died." The man said, "Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was having an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn't find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, and I died." St. Peter couldn't deny that this was a pretty bad day, and since it was a crime of passion, he let the man in. He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. "Well, sir, it was awful," said the second man. "I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!" St. Peter chuckled, let him into heaven and decided he could really start to enjoy this job. "Tell me about the day you died?", he said to the third man in line. "OK, picture this, I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator..."

Son: "Daddy, I have to write a special report for school, but I don't know what politics is." Father: "Well, let's take our home as an example. I am the bread-winner, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mum is the administrator of money, so we'll call her Government. We take care of your need, so let's call you The People. We'll call the maid the Working Class and your brother we can call The Future. Do you understand son?" Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it."

One day, the police raided a brothel and arrested a group of prostitutes, including the young girl. The prostitutes were instructed to line up in a straight line on the sidewalk. Well, who should be walking in the neighborhood, but little old Grandma. The young girl was frantic. Sure enough, Grandma noticed her young granddaughter and asked curiously, "What are you lining up for, dear?" Not willing to let grandma in on her little secret, the young girl told her that some people were passing out free oranges and that she was lining up for some. "Mmm, sounds lovely," said Grandma. "I think I'll have some myself," she continued as she made her way to the back of the line. A police officer made his way down the line, questioning all of the prostitutes. When he got to Grandma, at the end of the line, he was bewildered. "But you're so old... how do you do it?" Grandma replied, "Oh, it's quite easy, sonny... I just remove my dentures and suck 'em dry!"

A: The brunette -- the blonde had to stop and ask for directions. ******************************************** A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small club in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he's going through his usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting: 'I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person, because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blondes, but women in general...and all in the name of humor!'

A dumb blonde was really tired of being made fun of, so she decided to have her hair she would look like a brunette. When she had brown hair, she decided to take a drive in the country. After she had been driving for a while, she saw a farmer and a flock of sheep and thought, "Oh! Those sheep are so adorable!" She got out and walked over to the farmer and said, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I take one home?" The farmer, being a bit of a gambler himself, said she could have a try. The blonde looked at the flock and guessed, "157." The farmer was amazed - she was right! So the blonde, (who looked like a brunette), picked one out and got back into her car. Before she left, farmer walked up to her and said. "If I can guess the real color of your hair, can I have my dog back?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A blonde was going on a plane trip to New York.

< > Yes, but there's a big crater in the planet that indicates to many that it happened. Celebrated and respected scientists are acknowledged for their interpretation of Earth's history. You may not agree with any of them, but they are still right. < > I do not believe in your god's existence. Assuming that I did, however, the Bible makes no mention of dinosaurs anywhere. And especially not on the ark, and according to the Bible, the ark was able to house two of every creature. If your version were true, then why aren't there more dinosaur bones being found? Because they've disintegrated over millions and millions of years ago. < > Exactly, which is why life began in the waters and gradually made its way onto land. < > I think you're confusing moon dust with snow. They're not alike. < > I agree... unless a massive force altered its orbit. Thanks for the debate and have a great day!
Macro evolution 6

thank you solo for staying coalm ok so here your whole dinasuar thing with how they died from an astroied i dont agree with if there was a astroid strong enough to knock out all the dinasuares why didnt life just end here is my solution there was this thing called a firmament which was a blanket of mosture around the earth which increased the air pressure so dinasuars could breath then when god caused the great flood (this is for another debate and i could more than use the 8000 charecters on it) this was stopped and thats why the dinasuars on the ark died and those on the ground died ok then that takes care of your dinasuars oh and the massive layers and all that came from the flood and the swishing of all those flood waters insesently created layers and an amazing effect. ok for your claim about the heat of other stars ok our own star would exceed our current orbit while we were evolving just me but at 90,000 degrees i wouldnt be alive ok if the lander did clear an area then the moon lander would have been able to move around in the 6 feet of moon dust and the people that jumped out of it to take moon rocks would have sunk to there necks or deeper. oh your argue about the moon leaving you give it a coulple billion years and the moon would escape orbit no matter what. there are others if you would like challenge me to continue
