In a democracy that would be the majority. For some reason I find similarities between capitalism and democracy, when everthing is cool and calm it seems to work fine but when the unexpected happens (political/economic)rising tensions for the rough then suddenly many things become the legitimate ri...

Brillant, and so true....

^^^LOL, Irony!

Do pls summarize infact better still do it as long as you want (in your words) what you understood from shafique's message...

I clearly remember many threads you calling members loons, I think mostly Event horizon and FD.

In a series of discussions or debate do you know what loon holds as a meaning?

Berrin, I understand that you are trying to insult me, but you have to understand I 'm ignoring you.

I take it as a complete failure of yours...Is it diffucult to give a simple answer rather than start an insult of your own (out of nothing)?

^I agree with Mel - not everyone who criticises Islam is a loon

Sure, she now knows what it means.....

when you don't like comments towards the religion you will label them as loons. You still haven't given your description of a loon. There are various ways in which a discussion or no discussion takes place. I’ll limit them to three for simplicity.. 1- A discussion happens between two individuals wh...

Ethics and morals are not universal. Well, virtues and vices are universal since the creation of first humans, they were in the scripture and literature of previous civilizations. What you probably meant to say was that each individual has a core of underlying values that contribute to his/her pers...

Every time I do look at it, its fraud, lies or simply just not true. Like I said 9/11 truth seekers just throw a whole bunch of youtube clips and documents at you, hoping something will cause doubt. When I do look at it, its lies. After more than 9 years no smoking gun disproving the official story...

Oh and BTW this warning goes for Berrin too. EH your are just being condesending now and not providing anything usefull to the debate, any further such posts will be either edited or deleted. Who has told you or tought you to moderate under such mannerism? The owner of the thread is Icenic, it is h...

Indonesia have obviously not read the Quranic instructions that Muslims are to protect churches and not shut them down. You're right about that, but that's because no such instruction exists. :) Eh you know what.....Thomas Jefferson was right when he said; "The most valuable of all talents is ...

I don't know why but this levels of discriminative rights continue even amongst the jews such as between ashkenazi and sephardic ones..So it doesn't suprise me that there are various levels of freedoms against Palestinian arabs, regulated by law.. Housing is allotted as follows: * Ashkenazi Jews who...

So you agree, Israel’s role is continually stir up trouble in the Middle East... well you know there are two ways to cause moral corruption in order to control an underdeveloped region or a an immature society is ... 1- by delivering weapons 2- by injecting cash..

dear oh dear...
Where is it in quran? I need some lecturing on this one.....

You can debate all day and turn around interpretations of whos done it before, or wher it comes from, fact is that it is an Iranian court , today, and not 2,000 years ago, who ordered this barbaric judgment. In the Islamic view of history, it is worth pointing out, what is primitive has never been ...

I hear Moses didn't eat pork, do Muslims? The incident being referred to is an encounter Moses had. But that example is in the Koran. Why should Muslims ignore the pieces in the Koran - why were they even inserted in the Koran if Muslims are supposed to ignore them? Muslims, well better say believi...

event horizon wrote:But at least Berrin has acknowledged that Muslims should not ignore the passage in the Koran where honor killing is rationalized for us by Allah.

What is honour killing? and where is it in the quran that instructs parents kill children due to this effect?

It's pretty easy to condemn a terrorist attack when you blame others for it. But just who might those others be? Well, our friends, the moderate Muslims, think they know who was really behind the suicide bombing against an Egyptian church this past week that resulted in 21 deaths: Lebanese Shi'ite ...

I am sure the number of crimes done using no religion as an exuse is far greater than using religion...

You know shafique she can't really say that the domination is in the hands of christian/jewish/atheist world as authority for guidelines..so muslims really cannot have any say in such matters eigh.. too tough indeed...

They may be able to, but these athletes would stick out like a sore thumb.. Who cares if they stick out like a tumb..It's not a beauty contest..

It is strange to try to do sport wearing loose clothing and being covered from head to foot. Would be quite hot and the women would have to take care about dehydration. :)I never heard of burkinis made of a feltlike material from goat hair or wool. Scientists must be working on them for full perfor...

Note that athletic wear is specially designed to take into account many factors, do not underestimate the level of sophistication employed in the design of the material. This is why clothing no longer affects sports performance. I would only say that sophistication of the material would help if som...

What is Burqini?...I look at the pictures on the net and they are not far off than what you attached above...

LOL! HYPOCRITES!!!! Yes women can uncover their hair just in presence of "Mahram" people! (close family or other women) Iranian, Saudi, talibanish rules...not islamic Not so sure about that.. In conclusion, I feel that there is a very strong case to be made that Surah an-Nur ayah 31 does ...

It's not about the way it looks ,it's about freedom of choice! When you have that freedom of choice, the next you'll see is that the majority who choose not to cover will eventually apply oppression and discrimination against those who want to follow religious procedures, so much so that they will ...
