Shafique, all I had objection with is your constant attempts to use Greek terms for appology of Islam 24/7, no more no less. You should invent another names if verses from Quran are not enough for that.

RC I need some education here..what are those Greek terms that Shafique uses as means in defense of Islam?..

^I second the request for clarfication.

Surely you don't mean the English word 'political' (as opposed to any Greek word that this English word was derived from)?

Cheers,
Shafique

It is not English word. Your misunderstanding of this Greek term converted this forum to a chewing gum., which a few members use in a row. I have nothing against such a playground if you don't drag my name.

LOL.

I don't know Greek RC - I can only use the term as it appears in the Oxford English Dictionary and how it is used in this section's title - i.e. 'Politics' talk! Politics in English has a definite meaning. It may or may not be different from how ancient Athenians used the term - as I said, I don't know Greek.

Anyway - now we've cleared that up, I guess the guys can go back to discussing whatever the topic had moved on to.. over to you guys..

Cheers,

Shafique,
We live in parallel worlds if you don't understand such simple things. So why are you contunue teasing I cannot understand?

RC - perhaps we do live in parallel worlds.

I really don't understand why you expect me to use the English word Politics in a way that is not defined in an English dictionary.

I do believe yours is one of the weirdest I've come across.

Cheers,
Shafique

I think there is misunderstanding here RC. Couse it all started when symmetric made the following comment upon few exchanges with FD..

The Greeks took science from their masters the Sumerians and the Egyptions.

I think shafique was futher investigating in terms of how generations of knowledge passed from one another when he mentioned your name as an expert on Greek philosophy...

^and I was doing it in a positive way, too.

I apologise to RC if he felt I shouldn't have mentioned his name in this context.

Cheers,
Shafique

I have to agree that Greek philosophy or knowledge in general is definitely the main issue but this currency can be quite easily exchanged on Oxford dictionary, which is much more convinient tool for Islam 24/7.

Shafique, One year I studied Philosophy in Moscow Uni and I have to admit that my uni-mates were the weirdest people I have had ever seen.

in terms of what?

but this currency can be quite easily exchanged on Oxford dictionary

what is this all about?

which is much more convinient tool for Islam 24/7.

Islam has its own terminology in Arabic, it's just that this is a forum for English speaking community...

It's exactly what I was trying to say.
