So your just proving why this thread was needed, and you showing why the world is in a mess as it is, were there are those that say;-
- don't say such and such as it might offend the homosexuals,
- don't say this it mind offend idol worshippers.
I am not advocating beating up anyone, but showing tolerance (and tolerance is were you put up with something you don't like-as if you did like it you would not need to be "tolerant"). Its an awful thing to do idol worship/
- Prophet Moses peace be upon him, when he came down the mountain and saw the people in sin worshipping the cow idol-he didn't say I don't want to "offend them"
- when Prophet Ibrahim peace be upon him smashed the idols-he didn't say I don't want to prove a point as I don't want to offend anyone.
Again we are being tolerant, not damaging, not telling anyone to beat anyone up just because they don't accept Islam.
5:54 (Asad) O you who have attained to faith! If you ever abandon your faith," [76] God will in time bring forth [in your stead] people whom He loves and who love Him - humble towards the believers, proud towards all who deny the truth: [people] who strive hard in God's cause, and do not fear to be
censured by anyone who might censure them: such is God's favour, which He grants unto whom He wills. And God is infinite, all-knowing.
Of course, there are those that are being tormented in the graves, that are wishing that they opposed evil in more ways, aggressively then you have seen people do today.
