Lool Funny incident

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:
 
Peace,

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?

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. :)
 
Just think what you want, i don't care!!!
I am happy with my result so everything is good!!!!
also iam not the only 1 that has this kind of experiment.

There are many types of experiments i will upload some video later on. So that you can see types of experiments that go on the world.
 
Strange that such serious subject matter as this should have the solemn title, "Lool funny incident".
 
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.
 
Salaam.

May be , it would have been better if u asked ur those friends to do the ' experiment ' who trust others blindly.

anyway , try to find some alternate next time .

Really?? That can't be possible thats not allowed at all. Is it a state library or is it a private library.

If this is true then.....
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:

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?
