Edifis said "...some people choose to feel insulted and quell my desire for knowledge about other religions! I have respect for all the religions. I even like many aspects of other religion better than Hinduism. But I never thought of converting until now because I need a valid reason for that, and secondly I don't want to be an apostate."

Hi Eddifis - ok apologies, maybe I misunderstood your above post in particular the last sentence. I dont want to 'quell' your 'desire for knowledge' but I suggest you read less about adultery/peeping toms and more about the nature of God to have a better understanding of other religions. Even if we assume that the bible version is correct, you can not conclude that because a prophet commited a sin it is acceptable for us to commit the same sin. We are not answerable to a prophet but to our Creater Who has made that act a sin.

Just to clear up any misconceptions, pls note that Muslims do not subscribe to the jewish/christian version of the story of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon). In Islam, the Prophets hold a very high status and were far removed from such major sins as adultery. They came to warn ppl against wrongdoings not to promote them.
