Muslim Youths

[Iftikhar]

Salaam

In the 70s, I wanted my children to attend church school, but I was not allowed to get them admitted into a local church school becuase of my Islamic faith.

Now church schools admit Muslim children, otherwise, they would have been closed down because they do not get children of Christian faith.

There are two church schools in Bradford with 98% Muslim children. In my opinion, such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools.

Female circumcism??? Since when did that become an obligation on the Sisters??? :?

My daughter goes to an Islamic School and she has never been happier... and no she hasn't turned into a terrorist or a misfit!!!

Faith Schools have existed since the dawn of time and produced very respecable people in the world.

Give it a rest thinker... how much more poison have you got in you?

Cousin marriage

It's optional. Prophet Muhammad had many wives, and only one of them was his cousins (Zaynab bint Jahsh.) The rest weren't his cousins and were from other tribes, even other races.

Here is an organisation who under the banner of Islam promote female circumcism and cousin marriage and campaign for bi-lingual teachers and it’s ME that is spreading poison not them? I wonder whether this is an Islamic organisation or a Pakistani organisation; I believe female circumcism and cousin marriage is a cultural heritage not an Islamic one and I believe it an aspect of Pakistani culture – what language would the bilingual teachers be speaking Arabic or Urdu?

I know that female circumcism is a part of the culture of several nationalities but I have been told on this forum that it is not a part of Islam and that was my point; this organisation, under the banner of Islam, is publishing material promoting female circucism.

there is a difference of opinion regarding female circumcision, whether it is an allowable cultural practice or whether it is mustahab (recommended act), either way it is allowed in islam.

now what is agreed is female genital mutilation is prohibited, the two things are very different.

Allowed in Islam . . . hmm that sounds like a bit of a cop out to me. It’s like saying Islam allows you to saw off your feet, it may be allowed but surely any (God given) text purporting to be a guide to how one lives one’s life would guide people away from unnatural acts including self mutilation?

actually you would only be allowed to saw off your foot if it would save your life so nasty diseases and bear traps excepted, usually we dont go doing that.

the difference is Allah has made circumcism allowed, you cant grasp that as you dont believe in Allah. if you did we could have a discussion on the meaning of revelation and the need for it etc.

but first of all we need to convince you of there being a creator, everything else is 2ndary compared to that.

If that was gonna happen it would have happened a long time ago. I don't see any chances of that happening.
