[QUOTE="GrayF0X786"] hey look its the emo guy who said he will command legions of devils in hell, top commander you are bro.Zeviander
Hey look, it's that guy who thinks a 50 year-old man who marries a girl at 6 and porks her at 9 is the symbol of moral perfection. You disgust me.

Exactly why I stated you're ignorant about Islam...Condescendance doesn't even begin to describe your arrogant mentality.

[QUOTE="frannkzappa"]

you can thank the mongols for that one.

frannkzappa

speaking of Mongols what happened to the Muslims after the Mongols ripped right through the muslim world, did islam change to the religion of Mogolism?

the mongols had a very loose religion which they never imposed on anyone, and allowed all conquered states to retain their religions.

in fact the mongols are considered one of the the most religiously tolerant group in history. oh and this golden age of Islamic learning was also brought about by mongol rule, in fact the Renaissance was caused by the mongols too.

i could list forever the contributions of the mongols, they are a people to be respected.

Yes, a very tolerant people when they slaughtered over 10 million peoples across their empire, completely "cleansing" numerous cities (Namely Muslim peoples/cities). It was after the adoption of Islam that Mongols became a tolerant people. BTW, the renaissance was due to the innumerable scientific advances that were made in medicine, astronomy, mathematics, physics, enginerring, chemistry, etc. during the Golden Age of the Islamic Empire (750-1250 circa).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_golden_age

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_science

Once Europeans came into contact with the Muslim world through trade/conflict (Namely the Crusades) in Al Andalus (Muslim controlled Spain), they studied classic hellenistic works and the numerous scientific works newly developed by Middle Easterners.

[QUOTE="BossPerson"]I believe Muslims are allowed to marry "people of the book" meaning followers of abrahamic religions .LJS9502_basic

From what I read in the Koran male Muslims are allowed to marry "people of the book" females; while it's forbidden for Muslim females to marry outside the faith.

Figures. The religion does tend to elevate the men over the women.

No...The reason why it isn't allowed for muslim women to marry non-muslim men is due to the fact that, in patriarchal societies, men generally choose what religion children would adhere to, not women

You don't see a problem with men having more freedom than women just because of their sex?

Well, in most Muslim societies, it is discouraged for Muslims to marry non-muslims anyways, regardless of gender. Anyways, a substantial amount of men convert to Islam to be with Muslim women too, so it isn't unfair at all IMO.

Well, yes. But it's only discouraged for men; for women, it's forbidden no matter what. That inequality is wholly unjustified unless you think that it's okay because Allah says so.

Well, good luck. You'll have to master the Arabic language to properly assess the text. You don't have to know Arabic to practice Islam obviously, but it is if you want to be a knowledgeable scholar/Imam

Why can't you have a marriage that doesn't involve subjugation? And why are you assuming that non-Muslim men will necessarily subjugate their Muslim wives? Surely if some loving Jewish or Christian husband respects his Muslim wife as his coequal, there is no danger of subjugation. Not all of them believe in patriarchal marriage.

And in any case, where is the evidence that this is the reason for that ruling?

Unfortunately, misogyny and sexism were rampant in most Non-muslim patriarchal societies (Denying women their basic/inherent rights such as the right to own property, to obtain an education, etc.; Rights that Islam gave to women). I heard this reasoning from my parents/relatives, but that's irrelevant.

All right, you agree that marriage should be egalitarian. So why are you following a religion that explicitly exhorts wives to submit to their husbands almost all the time?

Also, women have gained many more rights over time, as you know. Don't you think that wives no longer need to be protected from patriarchal husbands since women have more power now? Why not change the rule and allow Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men? There are still a lot of misogynists out there, but society has become at least a little more enlightened, so a rule change is in order, no?

Seems like islam doesn't support the free market from what i can tell. It allows for government intervention into the economy for reasons other than to protect private property. That is immoral and it should not be supported and accepted.

what does off topic think?

Muslims across the world want Shariah Law implemented while having all current goverments in the muslim world replaced because of corruption

1 flag

1 land

1 ummah

1 brotherhood

what is the Caliphate?

GrayF0X786
christian fundies want the same. in fact they have been more successful in converting people then the Muslims have. how do think Christianity winded up in Africa? All those missionaries and so aid workers give them food in exchange for their conversion. i met a woman from sudan who said she converted to Christianity so they could help her get out. and i can tell you about these fools who want a islamic caliphate they are insane and don't know what they want. they cant even agree on when to start ramadan and eid. a caliphate would be disastrous. most Muslims find them a joke just like most Christians find evangelicals a joke.

Even if that mentality was advocated, Islam couldn't be reformed. One of its central tenets is that the Quran and Islam are inerrant. Also, it was mainly the late 19th century till present in which women were granted most of the same privileges as men anyways. When comparing, there aren't any substantial disparities between womens rights in contemporary western society and a proper analysis of the rights women are granted according to Muslim tradition; A testament to Islam's legacy for women's rights. Of course, the culture of certain Muslims is responsible for the misogyny you see perpetrated.

the bible is full of misogynoy,homophobia and other crazy stuff. but most Christians unless they are fundamentalist do those things. likewise with muslims. majority of muslims are not like. you only hear about the bad stuff because the media only reports the bad things about muslims. the media doesn't report when a muslim woman becomes a doctor or lawyer. they don't report on the happy marriages muslim couples have.

Oh, I'm well aware of the fact that there are many loving married Muslim couples out there. And there are certainly successful Muslim women out there, even in the face of misogyny. But I'm only talking about Islamic teachings themselves, not the Muslims who follow or ignore them.

I agree that it would seem speciously unfair, but theres a reasoning behind it. For example, Muslim men aren't allowed to wear gold/diamond, but Muslim women can. The reason is, is that it would considered be too effeminate according to Muslim tradition for men to wear gold/diamond.

Sure, except those are extremely rare cases that make up a negligible at most percentage of crimes perpetrated by Muslims. It certainly isn't condoned; It's vehemently condemned.

So try him as a criminal and throw him in prison. Treating this as an endemic problem among muslims solidifies an 'us vs. them' mentality, whereas treating it (rightfully) as a simple individual criminal matter asserts a common law as predominant over sectarian crap

Exactly why I stated you're ignorant about Islam...Nayef_shroof
All you seem capable of doing if telling me I'm ignorant of Islam. Care to show me up and prove me wrong? And what is wrong with condescension? I think Islam is a set of morally repugnant, medievally-backward beliefs that should either disappear or modernize. It has no place in a democratic world that values equality, human rights and justice.

What is the reason? I mean, if I saw some ruling that seemed unfair to me, I'd at least want to know why it's in place. I, for one, don't see a reason to prohibit women from marrying outside of their religion. It's not like all non-Muslim men are terrible misogynists who are incapable of loving and respecting their wives.

the bible is full of misogynoy,homophobia and other crazy stuff. but most Christians unless they are fundamentalist do those things. likewise with muslims. majority of muslims are not like. you only hear about the bad stuff because the media only reports the bad things about muslims. the media doesn't report when a muslim woman becomes a doctor or lawyer. they don't report on the happy marriages muslim couples have.

Oh, I'm well aware of the fact that there are many loving married Muslim couples out there. And there are certainly successful Muslim women out there, even in the face of misogyny. But I'm only talking about Islamic teachings themselves, not the Muslims who follow or ignore them.

i grew up in a practicing Muslim home. there is nothing in islam that prohibits muslim women from being educated and achieving success. in islam is actually says if someone has a daughter, educates her well and marry her to a good man the parents will get jannah (heaven). there is no such text for men though. islam also says the best of men or those who treat their wives with kindness. even though my parents are religious than me. my father never prevented me from doing what i wanted to do. never laid a hand on my mom. my mom was a working mother. wore hijab and everything. this is the thing that most people don't get. there is nothing in islam that prevents women from being educated. now there are some extremist who like to think islam is only for men. just like groups like mormons like to think that. but that is not what islam is about. islam gave women rights like divorce before other countries and cultures did.

I'm from a Muslim family as well, and I can relate somewhat. And Islam did give women a few more rights. But just because islam did some nice things for women, doesn't mean that it's totally egalitarian. There are still some problems I have with Islam's view of women.

[QUOTE="Nayef_shroof"] Exactly why I stated you're ignorant about Islam...Zeviander
All you seem capable of doing if telling me I'm ignorant of Islam. Care to show me up and prove me wrong? And what is wrong with condescension? I think Islam is a set of morally repugnant, medievally-backward beliefs that should either disappear or modernize. It has no place in a democratic world that values equality, human rights and justice.

Stating so surely that Muhammad had marital relations with a 6 year old is incorrect, for one. The topic is contentiously debated between people actually knowledgeable about Islam. It is said that Aisha was, at minimum, 9 when she married and thirteen when they consummated the marriage. Then, you'll have some advocate that she was in fact 15, 17, or even 19, not 9, due to other reasons. Condescendance is wrong when ignorant individuals such as yourself make ludicrous assertions about a topic they are, mostly, unfamiliar of and pass themselves as knowledgeable people...

The hadith says married at 6 (or 7) and porked at 9. http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Aisha It is even possible (due to lunar calendar discrepancies) that she was 8 when he "consummated" the marriage. Don't f*cking tell me that I'm ignorant and then tell lies.

if it bleeds it leads as the saying goes.

as for Grayfox, i'm almost convinced he's some kind of troll. only the most fundamentalist type of people think/want a caliphate, and everyone seems to think they'll be that Caliph (coincedence?...i think not). Hell... we backbite each others nations all the time, you think religion alone is gonna overcome that? I still lol whenever Saudi government says that 100% of it's citizenry is Muslim. there is no such thing as absolutes with populations,I do believe however it's overwhelmingly Muslim yeah. but it ignores anyone who may have a different belief/disbelief, and acts like they don't exist.

I understand that there are different ways of doing Shariah law, just as there is with all legal systems. but that law system applies only to Muslim, and even the tradition itself came about after Prophet Muhammed and the 4 caliphs later. the legal system is archaic and is trying to apply laws from Quran and Hadiths as well as from various fatwas (whenever it suits their needs). thing is we don't live in the year 600 AD anymore. so my response to enforcing Shariah on the world is...

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT7LUk0NtfyxkXfHFtREw4

I still vouch for secular law (even though that would count me as a kafir - a word i despise and hate - by the Saudi ulema) for everyone, and very small pirvate limited religious courts for family law - which would also require they be VOLUNTARY by the believers who want that. but that's it. that is the very farthest i'm personally willing to go.

Also as for not showing Prophet Muhammed's face, South Park did it already with their Super Best Friends gag. they did that skit before. Also historically there are pictures of Muhammed showing his face. examples:

[spoiler] 0_01.jpgAlgerian_postcard.jpg(the cave picture is for an Algerian postcard).

ea60a61e9df71830e6733cdc8a3602cd.jpg

00da61d4c1f82485f1162e11d3ff84f4.jpg(even young Muhammed)

458b4bcd25aaff2b635e69de2c586256.jpgbf5c772f42513fa67aedb1f6d3489963.jpg

037ad92b99ea2eaddda48129333655cc.jpg [/spoiler]

fact is, it's been done before quite a few times. people just lose their minds when they make fun of the Prophet in picture. granted i'm offended as well, but i do think it's their right to say what they wish, but i don't have to buy their $hit either in response. Everyone has the right to free speech, but not free from reprecussions (that don't involve physical harm).

The whole idea of not drawing Muhammed i understand, no idolatry. except.... we have a religion that we say the Prophet was a mere man who was visited by angels, and in the same sentence we say this mere man was guilty of no possible wrong because everything he did was approved by God. this never really gell'd with me personally, i see the Prophet as human who was passing along a message, which was collected and put into the Quran (as best as that could of been done, seeing how it was assembled by Caliph Uthman, the third Caliph after the Prophet.) People have made him into an idol itself, even without the pictures. One of the definitions of idolatry is: "Extreme admiration, love, or reverence for something or someone."

but i don't expect this attitude to change at all in my lifetime.


as per the pedophile accusation, i'm with Bossperson, at the same time i'm against child marriages and have actually written my name down in ink on petitions to the Ministry of Interior to end in Saudi. potentially getting my self followed and imprisoned, and petitions seem weak (they are) but currently it's the only way to air out grievances to the princes. and you may be thinking "why bother you dumb moron come to the West!", because it's one of my homes and i do care about it, a lot of you can sit back at your keyboard and mock and insult the country/region, but some of us who live have to make a stand somehow, not because of your attempted shaming but out our convictions.

but i gotta lol at the attempts of labeling or 'owning' the great thinkers of history, and BOTH Atheists/Theists are guilty of it. and i'd like to just share what Neil Degrasse Tyson said about it.

and that's all i gotta say about that. i'm out before i get a sea of insults from both camps.


-peace out.

So try him as a criminal and throw him in prison. Treating this as an endemic problem among muslims solidifies an 'us vs. them' mentality, whereas treating it (rightfully) as a simple individual criminal matter asserts a common law as predominant over sectarian crapAbbeten

Honor killing's are hardly eve prosecuted to the extent of the crime due to political correctness. On top of that, this scumbag planned everything out.

After brutally emptying a clip into his two daughters, he drove his cab into a parking garage and left them there while a getaway car allowed him to escape. He's probably living in a hut somewhere in the middle east now.

Sure, except those are extremely rare cases that make up a negligible at most percentage of crimes perpetrated by Muslims. It certainly isn't condoned; It's vehemently condemned.Nayef_shroof

Rare in the USA? Sort of, but they still happen happen. Rare in the middle-east? Lol no.

Just out of curiosity, what would you do if you're daughter married a non-Muslim. And do you support everything in that video that was posted?

You do realize hadith isn't Islamic scripture, right? That means that certain hadiths/hadith volumes are deemed more credible (Or even outright incredulous) than others. Citing WikiISlam as proof is laughable as well, considering their notoriety as an anti-Muslim site

To be fair his source is stronger than your source (nothing) on this. Whether WikiIsland is bias or not doesn't really matter here since it's just quoting a hadith.

What if she wanted to marry a normal American? Which is to say a guy who is a human being and has faults but is generally an alright guy and who drinks occasionally. Because your qualifiers there aren't really reasonable. Maybe a Mormon though but I think you wouldn't like that since their religion kind of invalidates the primary claim to Islam being the "right" religion.

Do what you like in Islamic nations, but leave the Ukraine, US, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Britain, and Holland dafuq alone.Hexagon_777
I can understand Ukraine, Austria and most of the Norther eu states. about immigration but to say they should leave The US/Australia alone is farcical to say the least. unless your a native American u have no right to tell people to leave "dafuq" alone . Just for your info not all the immigrants that moved over back in the day where from EU and white. for example my family came from north Africa ages ago and where Muslim.. like the japanese that immigrated to the western states.. or when the British shipped the prisoners from there empire territories to Australia Immigrant nations are multinational not only white or just European.

I think what shocked me more than the thing on 'woman rights' was that apostasy is punishable by death. You would imagine that not many people follow this teaching but IIRC, PEW did research in a few muslim countries like Pakistan and Egypt and more than 3/4 people were totally cool it. :| That's just frakking twisted! They make you a muslim since the day you're born and you have no say in it what so ever, but if you decide to leave, 'off with your head?'

It's the culture, they kill if someone (usually women) have dishonored the family with actions such as adultery. Also there are actually an estimated 20,000 women killed each year from honor killings. I think it's widely known that Islam is brutal to women.

Rather then be busy defending the Quran/Hadiths and say that honor killings don't exist. Why not just condemn honor killings of all kinds. FULL STOP. Take it from a Muslim (if you think of me that way even), don't be so damn concerned about what people (non-Muslims) think of the texts, be more concerned about the real life women (and men in some cases) being brutalized and killed for honor.

Rather then be busy defending the Quran/Hadiths and say that honor killings don't exist. Why not just condemn honor killings of all kinds. FULL STOP. Take it from a Muslim (if you think of me that way even), don't be so damn concerned about what people (non-Muslims) think of the texts, be more concerned about the real life women (and men in some cases) being brutalized and killed for honor.

I understand the futility, but I'd rather correct them as well. It should be apparent that Muslims vehemently condemn these atrocities

then more need to be done. laws need to be made and ENFORCED. rather then worry about which damn Shariah law gets enforced or what sort of false-half-@ss demo-theocracy gets put in place. You simply cannot have 500 or more women being killed for 'honor'. I'm sorry, but i don't share in that. it may be futile to even argue with people on here. but that is BESIDES the point. it's about the gross misplacement of priorities. Aside from family, friends, and a video from the Jordanian monarchy, and speeches by Queen Rania (of Jordan) at various international human rights events (that the audience is primarily going to be Westerners, NOT the people who REALLY need to hear this stuff). I have no seen any Arabic/Pushton/Dari/Urdu/Farsi/Kurdish/Hindi etc speaking people speaking to their local communities AGAINST honor killings. i've only heard protecting honor (not saying kill if they do dishonor, just protecting it) and nothing else. You can call me an ignorant fool, even as i've lived half my life in one of the most conservative Islamic countries on the planet. so please prove me wrong. I don't care about proving i'm right in the text when people are getting unjustly killed.
