Quote: from lsd at 9:09 am on Sep. 6, 2008 I've read a hadith that says Muslims will spend a finite amount of time in hell, do you know one where it says Jews and Christians will as well? It was my understanding that everyone will spend time in Hell, but only those who rejected Allah outright (Non-Christians, Non-Jews, and Non-Muslims) will stay there forever. In that case, Christians and Jews, for practicing imperfect but mostly true religion, would not only spend time there with the Muslims, but even more time than the Muslims.

So Muslim hell is a bit like Purgatory to begin with.

I'll just give you enough Hell to punish you for your heretical beliefs, and then you can come into paradise."

ahhh....pascal's wager, by any other name, would still sound just as menecing
It's a hypothetical. It's got nothing to do with Pascal's Wager, as the OP isn't trying to argue that you should be Muslim because of the risk of Hell. (s)He's simply asking.
Its all the same god...apart from buda ( i think i want to convert to believing in him instead actually
