I presume some of you watched this programme last night? And I am sure we will all see it from different points of view. I suspect that for the many of the viewers the dominating image will be of the Muslim guy screaming at the reporter and the message relayed from Sheikh Mohammed Bakri. I can’t believe that those images are helping anyone of us in any way and I wonder why the Muslim community don’t get their act together to prevent these idiots from providing fuel to those who seek to show Islam and Muslims as negative and threatening.
I watched it. Panorama are very selective in what they show. I remember the presenter narrating, "There was outrage when Israel attacked Hamas". It's like well, actually the demonstrations were not support for Hamas, but for the civilian population that were being slaughtered.

as if all my earlier posts on this and similar subjects and my constant sucking up to most of you via positive rep & PM messages is not enough. it seems to me that nothing short of my condemnation of Islam itself thus effective kufr/conversion/apostasy out of Islam will suffice!
Greetings, doorster
I did not wish to take this into the public domain and was going to PM you - but then I remembered that you don't accept private messages.
So here I am, back in this thread ...
I would like to apologise for giving you negative reps - partly because it seems a juvenile thing to do, but mostly because it was an action based entirely on an emotional response.
In all my time here in LI I can count the times I have given negative reps on the fingers of one hand, so it is not something I am in the habit of doing.
I try very hard to take time to reflect before making any comment or judgement. In this case my emotions got the better of me, and I aplogise for that.
I was not aware that you were constantly sucking up to me ... please don't feel the need to do that!
It is time for me to take some time out to reflect
P.S. Thank you, Al-Zaara!
Salaam
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •

I fully support your decision to take some time out. I can accept that it may have been a very upsetting thing to watch. I suppose the bad bits just passed over most of us because we're exposed to it a lot of the time and think little of it.
I don't know if it was due to your emotional state, but in your post it came across that you believed Islam to be a peaceful religion purely on account that the members here told you so. This disappointed me because I rather hoped that you would have seen Islam's peaceful nature for yourself.
Take care anyway and peace.
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
I have been a member of this forum for almost three years. During this time I have been informed by Muslim members here that Islam is a peaceful religion. I have had no cause to disbelieve them.
I do not watch the news on TV, so until I watched 'Panorama - Muslim First, British Second' just now I have never really watched live footage of Muslims participating in aggressive demonstrations and hateful speeches.
This is a completely different Islam I have observed just now ...
Right now I am feeling scared and disappointed.
Peace
This is something you should sort out fast. There is an endless list of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Atheists..ect that can be brought out to show their ..... disagreeable interpretations/aggression.
O my Lord,
if I worship you
from fear of hell, burn me in hell.
If I worship you
from hope of Paradise, bar me from its gates.
But if I worship you
for yourself alone, grant me then the beauty of your Face.
