[QUOTE="chandlerr_360"][QUOTE="vfibsux"][QUOTE="chandlerr_360"]

Considering that the majority of posters here are from Western society, is it really THAT hard to see why so many conservative Muslims actually support Sharia, especially women? Look at what they have to compare their culture to, OURS. What they see when looking at the Western world in a generalized view is the completely opposite, half naked women and a obssesion with sex and lust.

Personally I do not support Sharia and Islamic practices, but then again I do not support the rather liberal feminine practices of Western culture either. There is no cultural medium and I think that is more of the cross culture issue.

Christians would have the same view as you on this, the Sodom and Gamorrah societies we have in the west are viewed negatively by all religions, not just Islam. In fact the argument could be made when conservatives want to "legislate morality" they are imposing Christian law. The difference between Sharia and laws based on Christian values......the only people getting hurt by Christian based laws are druggies, drug dealers and prostitutes. Hell, they may even save some life because they would not allow abortion. Saying that, I am not for religion based law in any way, shape, or form. Victimless crimes are silly and a waste of taxpayer money and resources. Sharia would be much worse because there are victims under that law and the law itself is criminal imo.

I agree to an extent, however the fact is that the Middle Eastern culture and mindset IS different. I cannot blame many Middle Eastern individuals for wanting to come to Europe and the U.S., so I cannot support the xenophobic neo templars in Europe and the US. That being said, the "this is my culture so deal with it" attitude of immigrating Muslims is also a big issue with me, as multiculturism and non assimilation has pretty been proven around the globe to fail horribly. It is a sticky situation and definitely and interesting argument, but I still stand by my "cultural medium" solution, because as it stands, the issue is pretty much making no progess and even becoming volatile if you look at France.

What you are talking about is modern immigration, not exclusive to Muslims. Back in the day immigrants used to come to America to become Americans, I know because I am a product of them. My family came from Italy in the early 1900's and wanted to be Americans. They kept their culture (as they should) but abandoned the language, "we're Americans now, Americans speak English" was the reason. Now I don't agree with taking it to those extremes, they should have kept their language.....but it is still commendable. They wanted to assimilate and live among us rather than create their own Italy within America. These days it seems too many come here to our countries with an agenda, almost akin to an invasion of sorts. America used to be a melting pot, now it is more of a stew.

why do people lump the states in with europe as far as being xenophobic?

Because there is a rather large minority of Americans xenophobic towards Muslims and Middle Eastern individuals, as there is in Europe as well.

You have to understand though the m.o. of Islamic extremists is to blend in and act like a "normal" Muslim until the time comes to strike. There are an estimated 1.3 billion Muslims in the world and an estimated 1-10% are radicalized. Even at 1% that is a ton of people who want to kill "infidels." So you have no clue who they are, they could be your neighbor who brings you a welcome basket. It is real sir and a fact. After 9/11, the deadly attacks throughout Europe, and the thwarted attempts, can you blame anyone for being that way? Terrorism is what it is, and it is working as intended. Blame the people who would murder every living infidel on Earth in one blow if they could, don't blame their would be victims.

Sorry but you are out of touch. May I reccomend Yahoo! news comments, Liveleak.com, any conservative Southern community, or a short google search on "American Islamophobia".

i dont look for problems, if you look hard enough you will find people angry at wet water, that does not prove your point. if this hate is not overt in daily life it is not a problem, and as my extended family is compiled of "brown people" i think i'd have caught wind of it by now.

Don't confuse them. If you are not liberal you are, of course, a member of the KKK or at least wish you could be. The issue is simple, if I express my concerns about radical Islam I am automatically labeled a bigot and thrown into the tea-party. Liberals do not allow such bigotry and to fear the fact that members of a certain group killed 3000 Americans within a few hours, and would love nothing more than to triple it the next time. How dare you! And how dare you state the fact they were 19 arab men that practiced a radical form of Islam! You bigot! This is considered "Islamiphobic" to many on the far left.

Xenophobes cannot express their xenophobia in public because of political correctness most of the time, but it does not mean it is not there. Like I pointed out, the internet is filled with anonymous bigotry and most of it is directed towards "them", not so much American Muslims/Arabs. But yeah...I am in no way saying that all of America is xenophobic at all, just pointing out rather large minorities do exist.

[QUOTE="mayceV"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] in the states the state tries its damnedest to keep church out of state schools.... it does not matter how important the islamic faith is to you it should not be taught in the schools. neither should any other faith including christian and atheistic beliefs

surrealnumber5

....Sharia is a law system not a religion. its a law system based of Islamic Ideologies. In reality it'd probably be a very good thing to learn especially since the middle east has the fastest growing economy in the world. Also I don't mean as a religious prespective rather an idealogical prespective.

it is no less religious than the 10 commandments... it is religious law, you even state it as such when you say "its a law system based of Islamic Ideologies." sorry but you cannot take religion out of religious law.

It actually is diffrent because Sharia doesn't demand worship of God. It limits freedom of speech in a way that you can verbally abuse anyone. It is a law system sure it has Islamic ideologies however it isn't a religion in any form.

EDIT: also don't say that it punishes people that insult Islam because it punishes people that insult any religion.

Never heard of it. Do you have a point to make? Yes there is "Islamophobia", which by definition a phobia is an irrational fear. It is no different than other phobias, such as fear of flying. Fear of flying is irrational because the odds of dying in a plane crash are very slim, yet people are still afraid because it does still happen. THe problem here is a phobia has now been turned into bigotry, which is absurd. Just because a phobia is not rational does not mean you cannot understand the rationale behind the fear.

if people hate others and never cause harm what is the problem? why must others agree with you? attempting to force people to accept others only tends to radicalize both parties being forced.

your posts read as typical fear mongering, the percentage estimate is a joke and you also don't point out the locations of these extremists the majority of which would be in countries currently at war with and hardly likely to be your 'neighbor'.

Look man, all I am trying to say is that xenophobia does exist in America (which it does, I know this from personal as well as inpersonal experience) because for some reason you questioned that it did. You are trying to make the argument that just because it does not affect you (or your 'extended family'), means that it does not matter, which is a pointless argument. Your whole argument is rather juvenile and illogical to be blunt.

lol, fear mongering facts eh? Tell me friend, how is it many of the 9/11 hijackers lived among Americans in American neighborhoods for 4-5 years prior to the attacks. Do you think they were hiding in a cave in New Mexico? No, they were not. Islamic extremist take taqiyya (I assume you know the word?) and use it as a weapon against "infidels" in their jihad against the west. This is what they do. For those who do not know taqiyya has been interpreted to allow a muslim to "break the rules" to protect themselves. Radicals use it as an offensive weapon, which is traditionally against it what it is used for. This makes them "undercover" muslims, so to speak. This is why neighbors of Mohamed Atta could say "he seemed like such a nice man" when interviewed after he was identified as one of the hijackers. And of course, the majority of radicals are nowhere near US soil, that is common sense. It is also a known fact that not only are radicals attempting to get into the US, but they are already here; foreign and domestic. You seem to be implying there is no terrorist threat to the US.

Let me add here do not take offense to people speaking of Islamic extremists unless you are one or support them. If you are not for Islamic extremism you should not take offense to anyone bringing up the fact it exists and in the forms it does so. Talking about Islamic extremism is not condemning Islam or Muslims, please stop taking these topics personally. The fact you fight against these talks is part of what makes some Americans skeptical of moderates.

Okay first off don't point fingers at iran and Saudia they aren't a good representitive of Sharia because 1: Iran is Shiite and Shiites changed the rules of sharia. ( added thngs like timed marriges, changed the Quran and ECT.)

So people of off topic basically what did you hear about sharia that is so crazy?

mayceV

So what country is a good representation of Sharia? If there is none, then what is "true sharia" according to you? How do you know that other Muslims will not come along and say that mayceV's Sharia is not "true Sharia"?

only action cause harm, ideas do not. there are bad ideas, but unless acted on it has done nothing, so NO, hate does not harm, only those who choose to act on that hate cause harm, and that includes those things you hate and the people attached to those things you wish to impose change on. you wish to talk about juvenile and illogical when you cannot accept other people holding ideas you do not, and you are blunt about your sub-sophomoric philosophy

I am not sure what planet you are living on, but people act on their emotions, that is kind of the whole point of them in the first place. People who have real hatred towards anything tend to act on it, which is quite evident by looking at Human history or just your day to day life. So yeah...like I said, your argument is rather juvenile and honestly I have no idea where you are trying to go with it.

And BTW, I never asked you or even expected you to agree with me on anything because I was never trying to argue with you in the first place. I was simply trying to INFORM you, since clearly you were not well informed if you denied that the US was notxenophobic at all.

Look man, all I am trying to say is that xenophobia does exist in America (which it does, I know this from personal as well as inpersonal experience) because for some reason you questioned that it did. You are trying to make the argument that just because it does not affect you (or your 'extended family'), means that it does not matter, which is a pointless argument. Your whole argument is rather juvenile and illogical to be blunt.

chandlerr_360

only action cause harm, ideas do not. there are bad ideas, but unless acted on it has done nothing, so NO, hate does not harm, only those who choose to act on that hate cause harm, and that includes those things you hate and the people attached to those things you wish to impose change on. you wish to talk about juvenile and illogical when you cannot accept other people holding ideas you do not, and you are blunt about your sub-sophomoric philosophy

I am not sure what planet you are living on, but people act on their emotions, that is kind of the whole point of them in the first place. People who have real hatred towards anything tend to act on it, which is quite evident by look at Human history or just your day to day life. So yeah...like I said, your argument is rather juvenile and honestly I have no idea where you are trying to go with it. And BTW, I never asked you or even expected you to agree with me on anything because I was never trying to argue with you in the first place. I was simply trying to INFORM you, since clearly you were not well informed if you denied that US was xenophobic at all.

correct me if i am wrong, but you are arguing that because people have no self control they must be forced into your line of thinking. right? so why do we have laws against harm (pillaging, killing, forcing) when at the end of the day the person could not of acted in any other way, they were just following their instincts? we have no freewill in your argument and no responsibility but you seek to force behavior and decision making.

how is the argument of no punishment before damage juvenile? especially in comparison to your view?

It is immoral, and having law being influenced by religious beliefs is beyond wrong.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"]

[QUOTE="chandlerr_360"] I agree to an extent, however the fact is that the Middle Eastern culture and mindset IS different. I cannot blame many Middle Eastern individuals for wanting to come to Europe and the U.S., so I cannot support the xenophobic neo templars in Europe and the US. That being said, the "this is my culture so deal with it" attitude of immigrating Muslims is also a big issue with me, as multiculturism and non assimilation has pretty been proven around the globe to fail horribly. It is a sticky situation and definitely and interesting argument, but I still stand by my "cultural medium" solution, because as it stands, the issue is pretty much making no progess and even becoming volatile if you look at France.chandlerr_360

why do people lump the states in with europe as far as being xenophobic?

Because there is a rather large minority of Americans xenophobic towards Muslims and Middle Eastern individuals, as there is in Europe as well.

There ARE some nutballs in this country, and people who just-plain dilsike anything that isn't evangelical Christian, that's true. Our constitution means that they get to talk about their views too, so small groups can seem bigger than they are, but remember how HUUUUGE the USA is. In this very large country, most people live as neighbours with, work with, go to school with, etc... Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jews, Atheists, and more. If you go to a major metropolitan area from the east coast to the west, you'll see a fairly international group. More importantly, most of these groups are just, "American". Yeah, it takes a couple of generations to go from living in Mexico, or Pakistan, or France to integrate, but it happens and in the process American culture gains something too. This country, and I don't mean to say it's been a smooth process, has been built by and for immigrants. According to human nature, after intregration each group wants to be the LAST group, but our laws hold and that is never the case. We grow, and we do it because people would rather be free of a few thousand years of conflict and preconceptions than not.

Heck, where I live in the space of a 10 minute drive I often see African immigrants, black americans who have roots here going back hundreds of years, white people of various backgrounds, women in Hijab, when schools let out ther is ALWAYS this one women in full Niqab, and the other day I saw someone in Tibetan robes.

Consider that after 9/11 there wasn't much anti-Muslim/Saudi/Middle Eastern violence in this country. Yes, some ******s did go off the rails, but in a large country the reaction was milder than a day in Tottenham. I'm about to go to North Carolina for a project, and it's a state that is definitely part of the US south, it's conservative, and it has a HUGE Muslim and Muslim immigrant community. I don't mean some nasty little hole seperated from the state, I mean a place where people came as groups, and it grew into some towns that began to spread. Far from being shunned, it's a matter of mutual integration.

Now think about most of the Middle East... how much of what I said about living together in peace, even after major events, integration and mutual respect is true? I don't just mean a couple of places either, but a constant flux of immigration and people living together MOSTLY without conflict.

You didn't actually read my post did you?... my entire point is that the USA is incredibly accepting, largely a mixed community, especially when compared to the middle east. I don't know what post you read to reach your conclusions, but it wasn't mine. Reading.. is your friend... assuming things after skimming... not so mucn. Thanks for the laughs though.

edit: I've read my post a few time and I think the only way you reach the conclusion that you did is you skimmed JUST the last paragraph, literally. That's... I don't know, but it's making me laugh even harder.

edit2: Ran away... and without even correcting yourself! My heart... it's-ah breakin' *weep*... :D

*looks at thread recently*

I guess what's wrong wiith Sharia are people who don't bother to extend their awareness beyond their own limited view of what should be, yet feel the need to impose this on others. You have the basis of arguments for Sharia evaporating under scrutiny, along with their supporters, and finally people who don't bother to read likewise running.

Why should anyone submit themselves to a law that is so dreadfully inconsistant, based in religion which (and i know this won't go over well) is internally inconsistant, and would be enforced by people who can't be bothered to read much? For this thread, that seems to be enough reason to say what is wrong with Sharia is that people would be involved in it.

LOL man you need to come down to Jordan. No one will kill you. only place that is not a good idea is Iran and that place is hated by every single arab. Not onl that but in reality up until last friday forgieners were treated better than the people that have been here for over 1000 years. Don't kid yourself and talk about the middle east as if you've been there. I've been here for 3 years going on 4th have a terrible accent in Arabic ( thanks to being raised in America). I go to the university of Jordan in engineering. In the university there is loads of diversity- sure people from Japan and korea aren't citizen and kept thier culture however no one says anything to them. In the middle east forgieners are treated better by the people than a random national in the street. so please stop saying you'd be killed because where I'm from its all sunflowers and sunshine. Oh but if you do come to jordan be careful in business people here are sharks in area.

Okay man you had a point and I am man enough to admit I read fast and took it wrong, too bad you had to go the insult route. I focused on your last paragraph and rereading realizing it was a question at the end not a statement. I was on a short break and did not have enough time to read the novel you posted so yes I skimmed, and yes I misunderstood. As for your reply, why do off-topic people like you feel that people are suppose to stick around and wait for your reply? I had to get back to work, you know, that thing that pays for internet so I can get chewed out by people like you that I do not reply to fast enough? Seriously man, mistakes are made and you could obviously see I took your post wrong. Grow up.

But of course seeing as though someone who does not reply to you in your timeframe is a running coward.......let's see how long it takes you to reply to this.

For this thread, that seems to be enough reason to say what is wrong with Sharia is that people would be involved in it.

Frame_Dragger
So basically what's wrong with Sharia is the people incharge of implement it? because the law isn't inconsistant it just isn't ever applied correctly. and the people under the rule ( like in saudia and Iran) don't care about freedoms that are taken away by the government ( not sharia only thing that sharia limits is some speech such as verbal abuse, and implements a dress code on Muslims and a more leneant one on dhimmi's dress code i bassically cover your knees up to your belly button. That's seems kinda nerdy but hey that's what shirts are for.) other than that its really like a normal law system. any law system can be crap if the person incharge is crap. I personally see nothing wrong with Sharia rather than the fact it isn't regulated. As in Sharia is very diffrent in Iran than Saudia. Iran is crazy about some messed up illusion of Sharia were hudud punishments aren't according to the quran- then again Shiites have changed the original quran to suit thier culture ( most messed up things like temporary marriages, fasting until midnight, and believing that Ali was the chosen one not Muhammad). that's why I am telling you not to look at Iran. the are not a Sharia based on Islamic value it just something they made up and claimed to be Islamic. Saudia's monarch is power hungry and stupid( his 4th grade education says hi). And the people there don't care. they have decent lives and really don't care what happens in thier law system hence the king saying Saudia is led by Islam while in reality its led by a 4th grade 88 year old who thinks Islam is what he says it is. Sharia its self has nothing wrong with it. it isn't extreme in anyway anyone thinking so is leaning on the ignorant side. hudud punishments have extremely high standards of conviction. Then it goes down to a justice system that is what Europeans took after the Crusades- with a judge and witnesses. So I'll answer my own question- the problem with Sharia is that it is never implemented fully rather it is altered and enforced upon people that couldn't care less.

I did not say ALL countries. You are in one of THE most western friendly countries in the Middle East. My only point was Middle Eastern countries are typically far less tolerant than America is.

Plans? Yes... I had a hollow volcano and white cat all ready until you came back and admitted your error. I've learned that I was right... the question is have you learned to fully read a post before you leap ot a conclusion and respond? @LJS9502_basic: Indeed... it's a bit disturbing to have a whole country hate so many others, and be hated in turn. Besides, I've noted a that the US support of Israel tends to lead to a "clumping" effect in terms of ME hatred. Usually you get to see both flags torched... *sigh*

[QUOTE="vfibsux"][QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"] Sorry, I was too busy basking in being right about precisely which portion you read to respond.... petty I know, but it's moments like these that really hit the spot.Frame_Dragger
Sorry I ruined your plans by manning up and admitting my mistake, hopefully you can learn from that someday.

Plans? Yes... I had a hollow volcano and white cat all ready until you came back and admitted your error. I've learned that I was right... the question is have you learned to fully read a post before you leap ot a conclusion and respond?

No! You! Come on dude, take olive branch and let's move on.
