Re: Intermarriage worries Gulf states

I stopped reading pages ago - I'm relying on DK to sort this one out, I just popped in and saw the latest exchanges and it sounded like a pretty decent marital argument... but I may be wrong.

Don't mind me - carry on..

Re: Why Not Completely Do Away With The Hadith???

1- You said that Moslems also base their faith on the Sunnah. I assume the Sunnah is the Prophet’s deeds, not his sayings. But how did you learn about the Sunnah? Wasn’t the Sunnah also related in the Hadith books, which means it is part of the Hadith. Meaning it is also subject to the same errors ...

Re: Why Not Completely Do Away With The Hadith???

The Hadith, as it is right now, is bad for Islam. A lot of people use the Hadith to serve their own agenda, from those who suppress women, to those who kill in the name of Allah, to those who make Islam too restrictive, …etc. I agree that there is much wrong with the practice of some Muslims today....

Re: Friendly Muslim scholar explainsl the nuances of warfare

It's actually a well thought out argument that says that Muslims do indeed what to impose Islamic rule over all non-Muslims. Yesterday some crazy guy who likes to watch 'loons' decided to post an article where he thoughfully laid out the arguments in favour of this 'true' view of Islamic theology. H...

India's secret war

An article from Mauritius on a little known war, but I give a link to the long expose written by Arundhati Roy in March this year - makes very interesting reading. The rebels made the headlines this week when they blew up a bus and killed over 30 people, including women and children, as well as secu...

Foiled Terrorist Plot - Real Bomb

As noted in previous threads about FBI and Europol statistics listing Terror attacks in the US and Europe, the perception that some people have about who the main terror threats are does not match what the law enforcement agencies record. Some have argued that the statistics are flawed because (perh...

Re: Antisemitic Posters By Protesters

Mahmoud, you make your points very well. You will note that we've seen a number of stereotypical 'orientalist' rants lately on the subject of Egypt and Arabs. We've had the usual 'they like strong men'; 'they don't really want democracy' - and most interestingly look at the posts before Mubarak step...

Anti-Muslim group classified as Hate Group

Over in the States, a lady blogger who has been branded 'the looniest blogger ever' by Loonwatch.com - has now been branded as the leader of a hate group. The SPLC's classification means that this group is now in the same league as neo-Nazis and the KKK. I personally think they aren't as dangerous a...

Re: Norway Massacre: Breivik Declared Insane

I'm not sure there's enough money in the world for me to counsel this pin up of the loon fraternity. And I think it would constitute 'cruel and unusual punishment' for an arch-loon to have to face a Muslim in this way. ;)
