Christians have Westboro Baptist Church, Muslims have nutter Anjem Choudary and his small band of nutters. http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2011/09/11/1226134/056996-westboro-baptist-church.jpg WBC protest on 9/11 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/radical-us-westboro-baptist-church-claims-91...

This story is from 2003!!! - and stands in contrast to positive stories that came out of Egypt during the revolution where Muslims and Christians were working hand in hand. In 2011, we had stories of Christians protecting Muslim worshippers and the many posters etc of the combined Cross and Crescent...

shafique

^Well, if you looked at the facts in the USA - you SHOULD be worried about Christian terrorist groups such as the Hutaree who were caught with more ammo and arms etc than ALL the Muslim 'terrorists' caught in the US since 2011. I'll see your two jihadists above and raise you one Baruch Goldstein (re...

shafique

In what way is 'Choudhary.. well represented and funded'? Fewer than 100 turned up with him yesterday, and let's recall that he's just a media whore with no Islamic credentials: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2010/jan/04/anjum-choudary-wootton-bassett Contrast that with WBC who do ha...

shafique

I asked Can you dig out a reference which shows that the Muslim Brotherhood banned building of churches, ringing of bells etc after the revolution as alleged - and under what authority they were doing so (they aren't the Government, after all). Given that a new law was passed in June (and announced ...

shafique

The absence of the "stories" that you refer to say more about self censorship and editorial fear than actual events. I was in and around Malaysia and Indonesia on 9/11 2001 and need no reminding of cheering crowds thanks very much. Well, how about comparing how many Muslims in the USA cam...

shafique

Blueorb - I haven't come across any evidence that Anjum and his nutters are any more harmful than the WBC. To my knowledge he is canny enough to actually not incite violence (which is a crime in the UK) and given he's a solicitor, he manages to stay the right side of the law. He does indeed spout ha...

shafique

Blueorb - I agree that we shouldn't ignore the likes of Choudary, Bakri etc and indeed the Muslim community and the UK Government are working to counter their messages of hate. Choudary and his chums don't have a mosque and are banned from mosques around the country - and much is being done to count...

shafique

patience, earlier on in the thread I made it clear - but as you missed it, let me be crystal clear. I unreservedly condemn any and all acts of terrorism or incitement to terrorism, where terrorism for me means ANY act of violence towards any civilian (whether they are Israelis, Europeans, Muslims et...

shafique

Was this an exercise in spotting the obvious mistakes? 1. Wrong forum. 2. Fundamental mistake in title - you're giving examples of people not apparently being good Muslims - but not contraditions in the religion itself. But you're opening statement is spot on. I'm confused! ;) Cheers, Shafique

shafique

Why is it that stating a verifiable fact is viewed as bigotry by BM (who says she is proud to be a bigot and a racist)? Terrorism in the EU according to Europol: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/terrorism-the-facts-t41918.html and the updated 2010 stats: http://www.dubaiforums.com/duba...

shafique

If you say so.

We have eh defining a new religion in the religion forum, and here BM is reinventing the meaning of the word 'contradiction'! I blame the teachers personally!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

:D Actually, I put on weight when I'm travelling. All those restaurant meals and snacking at airport lounges! But that said, I'd probably snack at home too! But I have to agree with BM, I could do with losing a few pounds! So far, I'm still fit enough to go hiking and climb (small) mountains around ...

shafique

I can't resist a pedant's challenge. :D Ok, thread title = 'Contradictions in Islam' Islam is a religion. Title implies there are contradictions within Islam - or the teachings of Islam. Let's see the definition of Contradiction: Contradiction: A contradiction is two propositions used in combination...

shafique

Ok - I see where the issue is. For me, Islam (by definition) is a religion. In your alternative reality where it isn't, I can see how you can see valid contradictions in BMs observations. In my reality, where Islam is a religion, there are no contradictions in the observations. That said, I totally ...

shafique

Viking - yes, I think we can agree that the misunderstandings stem from when Islam is perceived to be a political doctrine and not just a religion. Islam does give guidelines on some social laws, but there is no one 'shariah' law - each political entity needs to make its laws and can choose how to i...

shafique

SAD asked me a direct question. Direct answer: No, I'm not paid for posting on DF. But if I was, how much should I charge and who would pay me? (It is an interesting conspiracy theory though - do you guys go on courses on how to dream up these fantasies, or is it a requirement of the loon club? ;) )...

shafique

^Saudi also has a problem with s.ex crimes - with even kids being abucted and raped, and because of the harsh laws, they are murdered. I was shocked when I first went to Saudi in 2003 and was told this - people used to not let the teenagers travel home from school alone because of this fear. Saudi i...

shafique

:roll: What this thread proves is that herve doesn't know how to interpret his own stats that he's compiled. Taking times of posts over a number of weeks and then concluding that I'm in front of a computer for over 20 hrs a day is funny enough. To have the resident loons believe this 'fact' and then...

shafique

As I said, you've got no evidence to back up the highlighted claim in the OP.

Yet another 'rogue quote' I guess.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Ok, well I have a question then. Why don't the moderate subscribers, whether they be muslim, christian, whatever rise up to quash the fundamentalists? Given that there are more peaceful people about, their numbers would be far out weigh the nutters - so what gives? Why does the responsibility lie w...

shafique

So you guys do believe herve's new conspiracy theory that I'm posting 21 hours a day every day? Hmm.

I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Why change the subject? Please provide any proof to back up your beliefs/spin.

I am challenging the statement in your OP which you highlighted. It turns out it is, yet again, loon spin and not fact.

Fail. Again.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Thanks for sharing yet another Islamophobic conspiracy theory eh. Once again, fantasy and not fact. The Westboro Baptist Church is more organised and better funded than Anjum and his crew. You quickly make excuses for the American Christians who demonstrated on 9/11 but you generalise in the case of...

shafique

Thanks for providing the links eh. Could you also look up the % of Americans who believe that 9/11 is an inside job? Interestingly 77% of those polled don't believe Al Qaeda was behind the attack, but less than half of these believe the terrorist act was justified. So the majority polled thought the...

shafique

Nope, eh, you won't get away with starting new threads to get away from threads you started and now can't answer the questions raised. (Especially as the questions raised in this thread have already been dealt with here: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/comparative-religious-teachings-war...

shafique

patience - I think sym has lost patience with the resident Islamophobes that aren't as respectful as you when asking questions about Islam, but rather seek to preach to Muslims what Islam is according to their agenda. I'm happy to answer your questions and I'm sure sym isn't referring to your enquir...

shafique

'Thirty six percent thought the attacks were justified' - seems pretty clear to me. 77% thought that al qaeda was not responsible. What is the % of Americans who think 9/11 was an inside job? Is therefore the US opinion split on who did the attack? So, I guess the answer is that your loon bloggers a...

shafique

Coming from someone who invents a new religion to explain his bizare interpretation of Biblical passages, that's the height of irony! I don't presume to preach to Christians how they interpret the Bible - but I do share my views of Jesus' original teachings and why I side with the 'Jewish Christians...

shafique

Yet another failure in comprehension eh? Really? Brievik shared your political views and called himself a 'Christian Crusader', the Hutaree Christian militia are as nutty as the WBC. These terrorists are 'cut from the same cloth' as you and the WBC respectively. But the point I was making was that n...
