Muslims Gullible?

[Malsidabym]

Please excuse me for saying this. I am sure it must be a minority, but I have noticed some people on this forum to be extremely gullible. I just viewed a thread entitled "'lizard Girl' In Hospital", and honestly it was laughable.

Quite a few people seemed to believe it were possible that a girl kicked a quran and turned into a lizard. Then there were a few variations on this including dogs, monkies, pigs, fish, etc. I mean come on people. Why even entertain this for even a microsecond? It is absurd. I have only ever seen this kind of gullibility in very young children.

I can assure you, you can [REMOVED OFFENSIVE COMMENT]. The only thing you had better turn into is a very fast runner, from the mob of angry muslims that would like to express their displeasure with your athletic demonstration.

I could, but I won't. I really am not a very fast runner.

Greetings,

Personally, I didn't believe the lizard story. I suppose it was used a scare tactic for children. But that doesn't mean that I would disrespect the Qur'an like that. To you it might not be such a big deal, but it's important for us to make good use of the Qur'an.

Peace.

Peace, so whats with this assurance rubbish? Snigger all you want and how you would like to mistreat the last revelation sent to humanity. God willingly, you will be guided on the path of righteousness.

ameen.

i personally dont think it is fair to say that muslims are gullible.. a bit of a generalisation isnt it? although yeh i too was amazed at the number of people how believed that insae story.. but i guess you should recognise that, althought the story is absurd.. its not impossible in the mind of a muslim since we believe in God and him being all powerful... i dont know if you believe in God, if you dont, or if you do believe but dont have the mentality of God being all powerful.. well naturally such a story would appear absurd to you.

so.. i just wanted to say gullible is a harsh word.. maybe ignorant of the lies that the internet so easily spreads is a better description (keeping in mind of course that most users of this thread are pretty young and so arent really as 'wise' or sceptical as older people may be)

You're excused.

I agree with you, especially since you didn't generalize everyone, and those few who are gullible seriously need to stay away from those topics, especially when they haven't researched it or seen it. People these days need to have a bit more sense to know that its a lot better to spread words of knowledge and wisdom of what they do know rather what has "possibly" happened. A smaller portion of that "some" are ignorant, subhanallah

May Allah grant us 'ilm and sabr ameen.

I think that a lot of people on this forum are quite young and lead sheltered lives (which isn't necessarily bad). Via education they will become less guillible ( I know I have:happy: ). However, education for both men and women is extremely important (as the previously mentioned thread demonstrates). Education and self-growth is a beautiful thing!!!!!

Such believable natures exist amongst people of all religious backgrounds.

Cheese,

I am a little surprised sister, you usually read the posts a little closer and have some understanding. I did not say that muslims are gullible. I clearly said "I am sure it must be a minority". I am sorry to offend you Cheese, but it is a misunderstanding, please read my post again.

Safa,

And I would not disrespect the Quran like that either. The point was simply that noone is going to turn into anything if they kick the book. The "kick it a football field length" thing and "turn into a very fast runner" thing was some fun, no harm intended. I never said I wanted to do this. Hamzaa, same goes for you. Chill.

Charisma and Renak, thank you for being rational enough to actually read the post, and see that there was no harm intended. With people like you, and usually Cheese, I can have a civilized conversation.

Yes, I agree with you. And I know, you didn't mean to do any harm when you gave that example of the kicking the Quran, astagfirullah, but you were right.
The same goes for the Bible, Torah or the other Holy Books or anything else that people see as holy or religious. Just becuase you kick it or do something else to it, you won't yurn into a pig, for example. Not physically at least. LOL. Of course, doing so just shows how disrespectful you are towards the religion of others and it also shows your character.

But back to the topic... Yes, I do think the people who believe those kind of stories you've stated are a bit off the track. Or completely.
Which is sad to say, because I would've thought people should have some sense of reality in this time of the world.

Peace

I know exactly what you mean. I thought all Muslims were smarter than this.

Is it wrong for me to find the humour in that statement?

As for these silly lizard girl/fish girl/super girl stories... Why the heck do we need these stupid didactic fairy tales to tell us not to disrespect the Quran? Surely, we should treat it as the sacred text that it is because we are raised to respect it.

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

i think its only the people that really dont do there research that could believe such things. Personally i require proof for everything and i've become one serious muslim. That says a lot about islam eh

Hey Homer, Well muslims could say the same thing about your disbelief

 

[afriend]

super girl stories

LOL!!

True enough...

I believe that this is just some made up stuff.......Misunderstandings of the people, which probably started off by the help of EXAGGERATION.

and your point is...??

stories such as those may be true or false, there's no evidence. but Islam does not rely on those kinds of stories to prove to be the right religion.

 

[extinction]

well homer ok I liked how you said people are gullible cause its true BUT i disagree with how you said kicking the quraan and all that theres no need for that i know you are trying to make a point but still its a bit offensive

You really believe it may be true someone turned a lizard?


hafizmo,

If you expect to be offended, it is likely you will be. It is all in your own attitude. Most misunderstandings occur because the person who misunderstands expects the person speaking to say what they are thinking.
We have two good examples of that.
First, we have cool_jannah who mistakenly expects that I am saying something against the Quran, and threatens to kick me in the face. Which of course is silly, because this is the internet. If we were in person I would need to slap the taste out of his mouth, but it is only the internet, and matters not.
Second, we have Muezzin, who does not carry this burden of paranoia and is very reasonable. He does not expect the worse, and therefore is not insulted, as it should be. Muezzin, as a result has less arguements and gets along better with others, and in general is more pleasant to deal with than many.

You are right by the way, to me it is not a big deal. But out of respect I would still not do this.
