To hurt the feelings of Christian people? I don't really understand either, especially coming from a Muslim.

Lool you guys are mistaken it was a experiment, to see how they will react if a Muslim did it, because this same Incident happened in the same library but a non-muslims did it and nothing happend, no actions was taken, but when a Muslim did it (me) action was taken. We just wanted to see if there are Islamophobia in the library and our result was Yes. Also I don't see how its rude?

Hows that going to hurt their feelings putting a bible in fiction shelf??

yeah they fired you on the grounds that you are a joker when it comes to other religions, i wonder what they will believe about muslims now after that sarcastic stunt. in your time in that job you could have used it at least to give dawah to them about religion instead of pulling stunts like that. its extremely insensitive thing to do when people don't know anything else and all they know is bible so this is why we don't joke or slag off. its not the character of the muslim.

Me and my friends stunt was a wake up call for certain Muslims that think that the non-muslims are lovely towards us, some certain Muslims have lost their religion and follow around non-muslims as if they are dogs and this stunt was a experiment to show Islamophobia is still present.

If the same incident happened in the same library how is that a fair test? There are no rules set in stone for this kind of thing. If it happens once people may overlook it but if it happens again and again people become sterner with punishments.
If someone put the Quran on the fiction shelf wouldn't it hurt your feelings?

Afcourse we made sure nobody seen as doing it, apart from the library authority and workers, this occured during the closing time of the library, there was no customers only the library workers and we made sure so that we can see their reaction and get it written in my reference so I can show the certain Muslims the reason I got kicked out of the library, it was my way of making da'wah to the lost Muslims.

Sometimes you have to do risky stuff for your religion and alhamdulilah I did it well, nothing bad happend.
There won't be Qur'an in the public libraries so I can't give you answer for that.

I am not surprised you got kicked out. You were given a voluntary post and as a volunteer (and not to mention a Muslim) you're supposed to behave like a sensible, responsible and mature human.

If i were you, I would go back and apologise.

Listen I am not going to let these Kuffars walk over us everytime so sometimes you have to do stuff to end Islamophobia, i think i should publish my experiment and result on my local newspaper, it will be eye opening for the lost Muslims that think these Kuffars are kings and stuff like that.

Don't worry I told them the reason and everything and they felt stupid and they started to apolgise to me and told me to work again, then I told them that I don't want to and they asked me that they will change my reference and get rid off what they said about me and I told them its fine because the whole purpose of the experiment was to get that reference with that incident and compare it to the other person. Alhamdulilah everything worked, it was a nice experiment. It took us two months to carry it out.

sorry u are wrong that doesn't make solution for islamaphobia... It gives wrong message about muslims. I would never do such a thing as a muslim so that shows your action is not for muslims.. it is against muslims. because I always respect people's thoughts. And there a re Quran's in muslim countries libraries

Your not making sense, its like you support them or something.
You don't know how much this experiment has helped the lost Muslims to be aware what these Kuffars are really like, especially the Muslims that live in the Kuffar countries they are becoming westernised and are forgetting that the Kuffars are our enemies. Subhanallah don't condem my experiment.

Some of the lost Muslim don't even pray and are very very very westernised so sometimes you have to think outside the box and be creative and think of other ways to give da'wah.

so what your basically saying is that we should steep as low as those who are islamophobia?

now that would be ignorance and blackening the name of islam even more. fear Allah and repent immediately

Don't you know of defending your religion? What do i need to repent from, I have done nothing bad at all, I never killed no one, I never attacked any1, I just made a experiment that caused zero harm.

How can the Muslims in America allow that? I think they are in deep sleep and the so called 'american dream' has got on their way.
How can they let the quran be put into that kind of environment? Where any random person can enter and do anything with. The quran is valuable and not to be put into those kind of places where all bad things happen. Subhanallah.

I do not know if they technically state funded or privately funded libraries. Probably state? They are public libraries, but I know not all public libraries have the same types of funding. Here is an example from the NY public library. (I do not live in NY, but I thought I'd use it as an example since Aadil said he is going there in another thread. LOL ) These are just a few of the results:

I still don't agree this is the best way of giving daw'ah for several reasons but apart from proving that Islamophobia still exists, what did you get out of this?

don't worry about what others are saying, you made a point and you had reasons behind it

it is common that muslims will face different treatment compared to non muslims, you've just proved that to suckup muslims who refuse to believe it

its no big deal as it wasn't an actual job and you made it clear to them you didn't intend to offend anyone, I don't know why people are crying over it

There are two types of Respect when it comes to religion(in my opinion). People sometimes can respect a religion to a point that they will love it and slowly follow it for sake of respect. Then there is a respect as in, where you disagree about some points but you dont cuss at the people or say your God is this and that. But Islam is the only truth and the only religion that will prevail till Yawm al Qiyama. If brother Mohammed_Sadiq did that experiment but did not intend any harm because he wanted to see the difference in reaction then I think people should not whine about it. Afterall, he said that they didnt react the same way when a non-muslim moved the Bibles to the fiction area. and Allah is all-watching. Wa salamu alaykum

It's like coming and saying "I punched a guy in the face today ;D" without any further explanation. The person punched might have been a mugger, but how are others to know? It's only natural they'd assume the worst.

Through the previous posts I think he said that he didn't intend to hurt anyone, but he tried to do an experience : he wanted to know what is the reaction if a muslim guy put the bible in another section, and this action is done by many non-muslims without serious reactions from the supervisors. But when a muslim did it he got a strong reaction.

I'm just trying to explain what I understood from the previous posts :

CONFESSION TIME: I laughed when I read that

To be honest I would have been very tempted to do the same thing. What would keep me from doing it is age and experience. I have learned after years of mistakes that it is best to avoid sinking to the level of those who offend me. Since saying the shahadah I learned that as a Muslim I must strive to act better than non-Muslims and never do anything that may make Muslims look bad. Example and our actions are Da'wah and our Da'wah can either help a person find the path to Islam or discourage them from wanting to learn about Islam. Comedy is fun and enjoyable, but few people would ever follow a person they see as a clown.

im not saying that what people do against islam is right but brother, you must be careful not to offend those who dont offend you/Islam, for all you know they could turn around in retaliation and insult Islam (not good).

i know your intentions were good, but (to me) it doesn't make a difference, even if you did prove them wrong. every Muslim knows that we get picked on and harassed and for every hate mongering kaafir who does insult Islam, they will make up silly excuses to justify their actions anyway...so i doubt that your experiment would have concluded anything new anyway.

if you want to deal with this, advice your brothers and sisters on how to strengthen their iman, and if you find anything they did offensive, take it up though the proper means and channels first (its understandable if you done this as a last resort) such as speaking to those in authority to remove offensive material/rectify the matter etc.

Big difference mate, moving the location of a book doesn't quite compare to insulting the most important prophet in islam - by drawing him as a terrorist or an animal, the op had certain reasoning and intentions behind what he did, he proved it to the point that the library apoligised to him. So even the library acknowledged it wasn't an issue of lack of respect.

In what way am i being protective over christianity?

You're explaining an incident in writing, not face to face. If you can't be asked to explain yourself fully the first time round at least don't blame others for "jumping to conclusion".

This is all very subjective, really. I have no doubt that the community on Rapture Ready would get very offended if you were to deliberately move the Bible to the fiction section to make a cheap point. Just as much perhaps as some Muslims might feel when they see Mohammed being mocked.

Do you have to touch another religion's holy book to prove something to the muslims? That's not a nice thing to do. I'm not judging you, I know your intention wasn't bad, but I'm judging the deed.There have been enough well-known incidents that show the attitude of non-muslims to muslims.

and I am certain each of us has done far worse. Let us not condemn the thread starter for an understandable act. We may disagree with the action, but let us each stick only to why we disagree with the action and not judge nor condemn the intent.

If i had the oppurtunity to do it again i would loved to do it. Its just an adventure and this adventure was a covert-experiment that went good. If u don't agree with the experiment then thats ur opinion and your more than welcome to give ur opinion as it is good to learn of other people's ideas.

Allah has already told us what is in their hearts. You do not need to be conducting experiments to know this. Your duty is to give dawah. Allah will give each soul what he earned. It's not our job to see who is thinking what.

My experiment was not to see whats inside their hearts but to show the naive and lost muslims that they should watch out from these people. As all their kindness is just fake and how they want you to lose your religion. Basically my experiment was a wake up call for the lost muslims so that they dont follow them around like dogs.

Afcourse there are many ways you can help a lost muslim and my experiment was one of it. Also afcourse i wanted to see their reaction so that i can prove it to those naive lost muslims that think these people are their brothers, subahanallah. Why don't you give out ur ideas, on how to show these lost naive muslims that these kuffars are not angels because there are muslims that think that these kuffars are the best.

do you know the beauty of the believer is to be humble and kind to muslims and even non muslims. we must

be gentle and be careful of not making jokes or pulling funny stunts like that in future. you don't know who

you are going to end up hurting. it is totally haraam for us to take the piss out of other religions so this is a

sin thats why i told you to repent for it because it is not the character of a muslim. now Allah has given us

iman Alhamdulilah if we laugh at others, Allah could take it away. we should never be so proud and to

over confident in ourselves. why are you acting like they harmed you or something? i didnt get any

indication of that in your post. yes i might be soft but no kaffir has drove me out of my home yet :)

Alhamduliah.

Jazakallah sister for your concerns, i know you seem upset with my action (experiment) and also as i was aware of my actions, i did not hurt any1, ok maybe i broke those naive lost muslims heart by showing them what their so called friends are but no other harm was done. Lol.
Sometimes you have to do something to remind others of their purpose of life and not to get distracted by the kuffars. Also afcourse these Kuffars did something to me but also to all my Muslims sisters and brothers in the world.

Insha allah everything wil be khair, and thanks for your opinion.

:sl:

Good point.

Each person has different skills in how to do Da'wah. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.

For myself I have never been able to use pointing out the wrongs of others as a means to guide to what is right. It always ends up doing no more than showing that somebody is bad, but it does nothing to show Islam is right. If I could show that every non-Muslim on earth is evil, it would in no way show that Islam is good it would simply raise the thought that all people including Muslims are evil and for my self it would back fire and drive a person to atheism before it pointed them towards Islam.

If I tried to use that method as a means to teach naive Muslims not to follow the Kaffirs, I would run into similar problems. Or worse I would find myself teaching them to stereotype people and see no hope or need to spread Islam to the Kaffir.

Also if I tried it I fear it could raise admiration of the Kaffir as it would show the Kaffir will protect their Bible. My trying that would most likely result in the naive finding an attraction for Christianity. I could end up accidentally encouraging a weak Muslim to become an apostate.

For myself the best approach is to simply show the truth about Islam and let that truth be the defense against any kaffir.

But, what I find to work for me does not mean it will work for somebody else.

Let me get this right.
You (a) did something which you thought might (b) provoke Christians to react angrily, so you could (c) then demonstrate their reactions to those Muslims which you believe are too positive towards Christians (people you believe to be bad Muslims on account of giving Christians too much respect), hoping that (d) it would turn those Muslims away from their Christian friends?

Am I the only one who thinks this is very strange? :uuh:

It doesn't sound like Da'wah to me at all. It's more like manipulating a situation to create a negative reaction, which can then be used to cause a rift and tension and discord between two groups of people who should really learn to live in peace and harmony with each other! :hmm:

Honestly, I laughed when I read the first post. It shouldnt be a big deal and I dont consider it as a mistake. So stop complaining and repeating the same points again and again. Thread should be closed now.

I will just say that the experiment was not sucessful. I agree with Dagless, on the first page, that when something has been done once it can be overlooked, but when something is done repeatedly then people stop overlooking it and start punishing the actions. The fact that this happened once before and the perpetrator went unpunished, but the second time the perpetrator was punished, does not demonstrate that Muslims are being treated differently. It only demonstrates that the library is not going to continue to allow individuals to victimize them. If a non-muslim went in and volunteered, and in a month from now did the same thing, I would bet money the individual would also be fired and given a bad recommendation. (And I am not a betting woman.)

Relocating the Bibles does not offend me in any way, but if I worked in the library I would be upset by the fact that is wastes my time and money to locate the Bibles and re-shelve them back in their original location. The harm comes through wasting my valuable time at work (and money) if I am employed there.

I just wanted to add that I am not saying this to be critical of Mohamed_Sadiq. I think he had good intentions, despite the fact that is really was a poor experiment.

I agree that the action of moving the Bibles into the fiction section of the library does not offend me. I know plenty of people who would consider the Bible fictional rather than factual. ;D
And quite honestly, the Bible does contain many passages of songs, poetry, parables and allegories - literary genres which most would consider to be fictional. So not much of a problem there.

What I do find offensive is the notion of provoking disharmony and conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims. That doesn't sound Islamic to me at all! Are Muslims not called to live - if at all possible - peacefully and in harmony with their non-Muslim neighbours?
In that sense I have to say that I cannot consider the OP's intentions to be good and laudable ... :hmm:

You could rather put it this way.

(a )A Christian did something which was done nothing about. (b) A Muslim did the same thing and received strong reactions.
(c) He wanted to show that Muslims receive different reactions/treatment. (d) to his Muslim friends who trust Christians blindly.

Am I the only one who thinks this is very strange? :uuh:
So far no one has agreed with his deed. Some, however, consider that his intention wasn't to offend.

Do we know that the first person to moved the Bibles was a Christian? I only recall reading that it was a non-Muslim.

Either way, as people have already pointed out this is a false experiment, because other contributing factors have not been ruled out - and that's the problem.
As Dagless and Pouring Rain already stated, the reaction of the librarian might have been accumulative (as in s/he was getting fed up with people moving books into the wrong section), rather than to do with the beliefs of faiths of those who committed the act. Therefore the conclusion that the librarian acted out of anti-Islamic intentions is by no means proven and is an assumption only.

But I suppose shuraimfan4lyf is right. We are going round in circles and repeat points which have already been made by others before us ...

I can accept that statement. :)

Mohamed_Sadiq- I honestly laughed when I first read your first post... But you need to be careful with your 'experiments' You need to know firstly the person really well, if they are actually haters of Islam or Muslims... It could have turned out that they weren't and they only just shouted at you because it has already happened before not because your a muslim. Like Dangless and PouringRain said.

Anyway I think its time to close the thread? No? :/

well why did they apologise wen I told them it was experiment and also begged me to change wat they wrote in my reference. afcurse they reacted negatively because i was a muslim but also not a kuffar lover. Seriously the experiment paid off.
There is no reason to close this thread just cause some people are against wat i did. I really don't care.

What their reaction could also indicate in an increased sensitivity in not wanting to appear Islamophobic in the present political climate.
Many Muslims are feeling vulnerable and ill-treated at the moment, and I am sure that especially public services such as libraries would not wish to be accused of such inequalities.

Maybe because they reacted towards you and not the other person? And this doesn't mean they reacted towards you because you are Muslim. You know if i was one of the staff and the exact thing happened to me but me being a Muslim and didn't reacted towards the muslim guy but reacted to the non-Muslim, I would have shouted at the 2nd person no matter what's his religion... Because I'd be thinking you guys got together both Muslim and non-muslim and are playing a joke on me. I'd think it can't be a 2nd mistake.

Think about it if they were haters of Muslims, do you think they would have let you work with them in the first place.


I know you intentions are pure, and Alhamdulillah ended fine. But next time just be careful, I do believe that there's different types of one can give dawah like the way in the video you posted.
If you want to get people’s reactions you could do that without having to get people involved in something they don't want to be in like the staff. Like in that Video you posted... People chose to get involved, No one told them join someone's side.... That's the type of Experiments I'd like to see... I hope you got what I mean.

Close the thread because, people are just repeating themselves and there’s no need. Those who you wanted to laugh with had their laugh and btw laughed to. Those who want to say it was wrong there’s enough members whose said so already and those that wanted to say what you did was alright have said so. I duno I just think it shouldn’t be going round in circles anymore.

How can they let the quran be put into that kind of environment? Where any random person can enter and do anything with. The quran is valuable and not to be put into those kind of places where all bad things happen. Subhanallah.

Sorry to revive this thread, I just wanted to tell Mohamed_Sadiq something that relates to the part of the conversation that i quoted here. :)

I was at a public library book sale the other day and guess what was one of the books they were discarding/selling. The Qur'an! I bought it, only to get it home and realize that it was only the first half of it. LOL I wonder who bought the second half before I arrived? Or perhaps that is the reason they were getting rid of this lone-first-half, because the second half may have disappeared from their collection. Who publishes the Qur'an in two-volume books? I have never heard of that before. I have only seen them as a single complete work before. Anyhow, I am now the owner of one and a half Qur'ans..... and I still do not have a translation I like.

^^ Lol thanks PouringRain, yes you can get the Holy Quran in sections its easier for small children and others that need it in small sections, but i can't believe that they are selling quran in public libraries, i mean these days people that hate Islam create fake Quran, so PouringRain be careful when you buy Quran specially as u r not a muslim. ( I am sure u know but you have to be clean when you pick up the quran) I have heard that these American groups are producing them to spoil Islam but those groups will never get rid off the quran only Allah can and this will be one of the signs of Judgement day where allah vanishes the verses in the Quran thats why many Muslims memories the Quran by heart and its easy to do so.

Its the Quran a translated quran by the way? and if u don't mind how much did you bought it for?
