Brethren of Purity

What then Muslims today need to do more than ever, is increase their literacy rate by instilling Islāmic worldview and understanding of the sciences in the Muslims via education and other ways, as was once done by Nizām al-Mulk for combating the falsehood of bātiniyya and others.

Nicolai Sinai on Quranic cosmology and phenomenology. (Full interview linked below!)

Virgin birth is a narrative that was obviously fabricated as a retrojected Messianic prophecy, a notion unavailable to/disbelieved by Paul and John. Even educated Christians know this. Critical scholars, including Christians, have shown why virgin birth is problematic.

Nice rhetoric. Sorry to burst your delusion but out of intellectual integrity, our Islāmic philosophy’s subordinate model based approach to sciences, remain consistent whether its Islam or other religions/sects. Modern science of history is based on inductive methods similar 🧵

Another one for the list of, “The Quran has myths that aren’t historically correct because secular naturalist HCM didn’t prove it yet, they only serve as a lesson for xyz.” — Brethren of Purity These are the people who claim to follow the methodology of Islamic philosophy.

If Jesus was just a prophet, why was he the only one to have a miraculous birth from a virgin? No other prophets received a birth like this. The only thing that comes close is being conceived to barren / elderly parents. In the Christian paradigm, the virgin birth makes perfect sense because it is consistent with Jesus' sinless nature. In Islam, it makes no sense and feels completely random. Jesus is still only a prophet, yet He's uniquely born of a virgin with no comparable theological explanation beyond it being a miracle. Why give Him a birth unlike every other prophet if He's just another prophet?

With regard to "Judeo Christian": The 10 Commandments are Jewish. The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish. The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery. The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy. The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West. This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable. And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term: Christ Himself was a Jew.
