Even if it were a hundred dollar gurdwa--, that would suffice to feed an x number of families.. It isn't about how much or how little.. it is the principal, that money that belongs to Muslims by Islamic law, be it in UAE or Brunei would be misplaced.. I don't approve of UAE giving a gift of this nature, anymore than I approve the son of the sultan or Brunei giving a 15 million dollar necklace to the prostitute Mariah carey..

It is really that simple..

I'm sure half the money Dubai earns is haraam by Islamic standards...

You're pushing it! You equate a GURDWARA TO A PROSTITUE! (Dhan Satguru)

I used to think you were quite intelligent, you've changed my view.

I have no doubt considering that less than 30% of its employees are actually citizens..
There will be a day of reckoning for each one of those rulers governing in iniquity!
I would fear Allah if I were one of them or step aside for a true kaliph to govern by God's law!

Well as you're so concerned about the plight of the ummah in distress, sell your house, your belongings and whatnot and donate it all? no, didn't think you'd put your money where your mouth is!

I'm sure you'll be there too, (me inc) for showing disdain to others....
 
Personally I'm very glad for the Sikhs living in Dubai.
The value of the lot is dismissible compared to the value of the act itself, I'm sure the Sikh community feels more accepted into the Dubai society than it did before.
 
I think everyone has missed the most important issue here... and that issue is of course... what on earth is a Gurdwara?? (Excuse my ignorance).

Gurdwara - Sikhism House of Worship....

Personally, I wont call Sikhism as Paganism as they are strictly monotheistic.

There are many Sikhs living in Dubai without any house of worship.. by giving a piece of land for them to satisfy their spiritual needs is kinda good thing right?

There are more than 100 gurdwaras in Malaysia, the Sikhs never did any crazy kind of worship and interrupted the other people's lives..

They even give free vegetarian food....

Only i hope they will not hear negative comments in the newspappers, because that could nulify the act.

But i don't think there is a law which says the opposite. I remember even The Prophet himself have nothing against to non-muslims and their place of worships (like churches). Dubai gives them only the land to build the worship place, they are not invest their money in the building.

I don't say non Muslims should not be tolerated in Dubai. I am not an extremist. I am not against churches and other non muslim worshipping places in Dubai. I am just angry at the muslims there since they are adopting the wrong ways of non muslims and that is strictly prohibited in Islam

how dare you speak of arabs in such a manner. just because you might not have seen them with beards doesnt make them any worse than yourself. Dont think that just because you may be practising and so on that you can go around speaking ill of others. what knowledge have you acquired and who have you studied under to go around making such statements? There are good and bad amongst every nation. You have no right to single out arabs or anyone else for that matter.

I'm not an Arab myself, but i spent a lot of time studying in Saudi so i can say i know a fair bit about them.

Choose your words carefully in future

okay I may have gone overboard with all the arabs statement and I am sorry for that but I do know people who are arabs and does the exact opposite of what islam teaches us and even though they describe themselves as muslims,they're muslim by namesake which will benefit them in no way,I'm not against arabs as a whole just against the black sheeps(which will be in all communities regardless of faith) and I just hate the how the bedouins treat their women(as was shown on al-jazeera) I really dont know the other bedouin tribes but the one's al-jazeera had shown was somewhere from the Middle East,and Arabs from Saudi Arabia are really different from the arabs from Dubai faithwise
 
oh and someone who's been to dubai already knows that there's night clubs,open bars and such(I havent been there but a few of my friends have and saw photos) yeah I know the situation is worse here in bangladesh

Not really... That is giving them opportunity to practice kufr. ;-)
