- gher-shyu3i 6y agoHow so? It's literally prohibited in the texts.[1][2] [1] https://quran.com/2/278-279 https://quran.com/2/278-279 [2] https://sunnah.com/muslim/22/132 https://sunnah.com/muslim/22/132
- loeg 6y agoMost modern-day Christians and many Jews are not textual literalists.
- gher-shyu3i 6y agoJust because some people refused to follow their texts, doesn't change the facts that it is prohibited in them. Jews still refuse to lend each other money with interest.
- loeg 6y agoYou originally said: > It's not for no reason that it's prohibited in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. And it isn't (in most Christianity, and I think at least some Judaism). That's all.
- gher-shyu3i 6y agoAgain, just because those Christians and Jews refused to follow their texts, doesn't mean that it isn't prohibited. The Quran documents and confirms this fact: https://quran.com/4/160-162 https://quran.com/4/160-162
- loeg 6y agoI think you'll find it easier to talk to people of other faiths if you stop asserting your religious dogma somehow binds them; it doesn't.
- gher-shyu3i 6y agoWe spoke to them and they admit it. Furthermore, we're not asserting "religious dogma" by simply reading their books and calling them out on not following them.
