There is no compulsion in religion. A person must choose to follow it under their own free will.
Then why do some muslims persecute and even kill shia muslims for not following islam the same way they do?
 
The women that don't wear the hijab are causing division among muslims and confusion about islam. They are harming the ummah, perhaps they need to be punished.


I don't think that they need to be punished in a way such as death or physical harm. Excommunication from Islam perhaps.

When I first read the statement from Gary I was shocked. I thought about it and began thinking that non-muslims were being "punished" due to their lack of understanding about the hijab. In reality the issue needs to first be addressed with muslims before it's addressed with non-muslims.

THAT IS SOOOOOOO TRUE!!

so much corruption these days *sigh* it will get better one day inshaallah (and im not just hoping either, we were taught by the prophet that islam really will take over one day)
 
Ignorance most probably. You shouldn't judge Islam on what some followers do

Why not? Realistically I am never going to see what Islam ought to be in my lifetime. I am only going to to see what Muslims are. You offer me Islam, but really what you are offering is the chance to be a Muslim.

On that basis the reality is far more important than the ideal. Why shouldn't Muslims be judged on what they are as opposed to what they should but are not and probably can never be?

Now does this relate to the thread topic? Not really. Some Muslims wear hijab but others think it does not go far enough. A few think it goes too far. I cannot judge either way. I have to rely on what Muslims tell me Islam is. Hence the important of what Muslims are, not what Islam ought to be. If the Oslo authorities want to ban the niqaab that is not fair to some, I think, but it is not such a great crime in the global scheme of things.

I said on what some muslims do. If majority of muslims condoned or carried out these acts then i understand why people would react in such a way, bit if only a few people do it then its only logical that you can't say this is what islam teaches
