sisters attacked for asking to pray in a blackburn masjid

[Sunflower]

^^^ yes i did. what did u think of it? did u think their methods were effective??? personally - no

 

[ubaid]

there methods were disgusting, they were blatantley out to cause trouble, i feel sorry for them as they do not realise they have made complete fools out of muslims in the uk by acting like this

 

[Umar001]

It amazes me, how much muslims act on feeling, I never comprehend it.

With responses like:

"They should be shot"

And that is according to Islam?

"Theres no reasons to offer them escuses"

I thought we had to offer people escuses and benefit of doubt, someone remind me was it 70 escuses? Am I wrong?

And then we have the other side saying

"They were looking for a fight, all confrontational"

It hardly seems like that, confrontational? I doubt it, they only had two brothers there.

"They should have done this and that"

Do you know if they previously tried? Maybe they tried speaking to the council of the masjid?


All I say is that I thought in Islam we rule by the Shariah, at least in our hearts, saying someone should be shot, because they hit someone in the face, is that what the shariah taeches? or stating thatwe should not offer the people a benefit of doubt, is that Islam? Rather we were not there nor do we know the people involved personally.

InshaAllah, I hope Allah makes me more tolerant, ameen.

Hi IsaAbdullah

I like your post, and I would give you reps if i hadn't already repped you elsewhere just a moment ago! ;D

I am assuming you watched the documentary? Is is worth watching?

Do you really think Muslims react more emotionally than non-Muslims?
Don't all people get very heated about things, and sometimes say stuff which may not be very beneficial? :?

I do agree that Muslims seem to react more emotionally when it comes to offending things being said and done against Islam per se or Muhammed in particular ...
Christians tend to take more of a 'God is big enough to deal with this situation' approach.
I am not saying either is necessarily right or wrong ... just different. (Although excessively emotional reactions can be perceived as irrational, and thereby lose their credibility. Would you agree?)

peace

Everyone gest heated about things, do you resort to violence when this occurs however? I do not.

Nor do I (and many, many other Muslims), and I implore the authorities to deal with those who do resort to violence.

 

[Dawud_uk]

not likely,

this is jackboot straws terroritory and these are his tame muslims, they wont take action against them or at least they would never take action against any but a few youths but no one important in the community.

Howdy, lol @ reps, and I don't know if at the time of the post I had already watched the video. It is only worth watching, in my humble view if you would love to see a distorted kinda view of how muslims should act, and if you dont get fastruated easly.

I don't think so, I think everyone gets emotional about things dear to them, it is just that the things dear to Muslims, are publically spoken about alot more. But then again having said that when Jesus is talked about in a bad way christians seem more relaxed, I feel thats just at the bottom of the teaching nd the way people percieve their religion teaches them to deal with things.

Don't all people get very heated about things, and sometimes say stuff which may not be very beneficial? :?

Yes, but alot of people don't have teachings which are fundamental to their lives and that the wish to follow strictly, with regards to how to deal with alot of situations.

I do definetly agree, for example, with the Jerry Springer Opera thing, the Christians protesting just stood outside the theater with banners and so on, not causing much commotion, furthermore not alot of christians even went, near my area, I think muslims also hold believe G-d is big enough to deal with anything, but at the same time they still express their emotions because of how what they feel islam teaches them to do in such situations.
