Ah, more recycled anti-Muslim blogger misinformation.

All this just to avoid the questions over talking donkeys and moving mountains. Quite sad really.

Now, where have I read that alcohol isn't good for you and whilst has some small benefits, the harm out weighs the good - and thus we should not drink. Hmm...

Well that's where we are differ from eachother, you'd like to limit God's power to human understanding of natural laws, whilst I say that he has super-natural laws that are confidential to himself, not for us to discover within natural laws of this world.. Berrin, if the laws just haven't been disc...

kanelli - the article says this latest research says even in moderation it is an issue, especially for older people. But then, more is certainly worse than moderate amounts, that's for sure.

^Actually, Islam does indeed teach about 'everything in moderation' and following the 'middle way'. All Muslims are aware of the teaching of the prophet that a believer when he eats a meal, should judge the amount he eats and drinks so that his stomach is one third food, one third water and one thir...

I was quite clear on what I said. ;) God tells Muslims not to drink alcohol because the harm outweighs the good. Muslims choose whether to follow these instructions. If a Muslim chooses to disobey a direct commandment, then they aren't actually following Islam's teachings. The Hadith about eating is...

Bah all my grandparents either lived to late 80's, early 90's all of them loved their tipple, they were all healthy and nothing wrong with them. Dementia is pre-disposed genetically. I'm reminded of the stories of grandparents who smoked into their nineties etc or the converse, how health fanatics ...

I'm just wondering whether they will be able to implement it if someone pulls the 'do you not know who I am card' and looks official!

Ramadhan Kareem!

I was wondering when Bostrom would be mentioned!

Thanks Zubber - looks like a very interesting series. Will DL and watch all in due course.

Interesting to compare this list in the OP with the list of attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets since the Israeli Military Occupation of Palestine began in 1967. Also interesting to note that eh's list does not include the 1000+ anti-semitic attacks occuring each year at the hands of his fell...

John McCain makes a slur against a Muslim American, Huma Abedin, by (amongst others) Michele Bachman: These allegations about Huma, and the report from which they are drawn, are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable citizen, a dedicated American, and a loyal public se...

Smoking isn't banned in Islam, but intoxicants are. Caffeine is also a drug and a stimulant, but it isn't banned - and nicotine is similarly not banned. However there are general principles that we shouldn't harm ourselves. I personally don't smoke - but it is not from a religious perspective, just ...

shafique

^Actually nucleus, my understanding is that eh is correct - world wide smoking related diseases are estimated to kill over 6 million people each year. With smoking on the increase in some Asian countries it is expected to increase. Alcohol related deaths are lower, but as the article states it is a ...

Discussed in full back in 2008: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/quranic-and-biblical-integrity-t25193.html In short, this is a weak argument from 20th century critics of Islam that the Quran is not the same as was revealed to the Prophet, pbuh. When one looks into the arguments produced,...

shafique

If you read the thread from 2008, you'll realise that 'Qirat' are indeed covered there. We've discussed this to death - the claims of 20th century anti-Muslim bloggers don't stand up to scrutiny - the isolated examples over a handful of words in isolated accounts don't overturn all the other account...

I suggest you re-examine what you've been told. There is no dispute at all amongst Muslims or even the earliest Arab speaking non-Muslims on the preservation of the Quran intact. If I continue, I fear I will owe DDS a cinema ticket... 3 posts here stating the same thing is enough for today. Cheers, ...

Just thought I'd pop in to link to the article below.

There were even some who thought it spelled out 'zion' - Berrin would have a field day with that one!

Thanks - that is an interesting article about this far-right terrorist: http://www.loonwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/page_rect-460x307-300x200.jpg The article also stated the facts about terrorism in the USA: In the U.S., 56 percent of terrorist attacks and plots have been perpetrated by righ...

I think that the good thing on this forum is that the rhetoric by the Islamophobic posters is largely ignored. However, the article does make some very hard-hitting points: Anders Breivik, the anti-Muslim, Norwegian murderer who killed 77 people last year, left behind a 1,500-page manifesto frequent...

Huffington Post reports that there have been over 300 hate crimes against Sikhs in the USA since 9/11: History of Hate: Crimes Against Sikhs Since 9/11 The mass shooting of a gurdwara (Sikh temple) in Wisconsin on Sunday is merely the latest chapter in a history of violence.

We've already had discussions on this forum when Muslim men have concluded that men can't control themselves and if women show too much skin they are at risk of being raped for putting all of their body on display. From my memory, I don't recall any man (Muslim or otherwise) here blaming women for ...

In many parts of the world I have visited and lived in, people don't bat an eyelash at the hijab as compared to the niqab Agreed. However, I was pointing out that eh's negative comments and the ones on the website - were citing exactly the same arguments you have given for opposing the face veil. P...

shafique

Leaving one's wallet out in public encourages the money to be stolen, so a woman who puts all of her body on display in public should also expect for it to be stolen too. Sound familiar? I still don't remember anyone here blaming women for being raped or excusing the rapists. In the analogy the per...

Equality means having the same toilets as men Do women really want urinals too? :D As for sport... It makes sense that men compete with men Ahh, so equality does not extend to sport - as long as the women can compete in sport against other women. I agree completely. At least in the West, women choo...

Shaf, if veiled women are working alongside men and interfacing in public jobs, why haven't I seen any? Probably because there are relatively few women who wear the full veil - far more wear the hijab, but the same principle applies. The women who are wearing a veil are doing so in public (by defin...
