..clears my throat...all this shallow evidence put together by the poster in a bid to portray islam in good light is not worth a rotten onions. The reason I don't open any islamic thread not to talk of posting a comment these days is because of this same intolerance. You either get banned or your post is hidden. Most of the comment here are from muslims,so I don't expect them to take a stand different from that of d poster's view. I bet many non-muslims with contrasting opinions are afraid to post here because of intolerance,even this post might earn me a ban or maybe hidden. 1 Like |

sweetcheecks: @OP, We are always crucified for posting information relating to others or the truth from own religious appologetics site. Where can we get this history? Except muslim.com? These are facts.... Read about how Islam saved Jewry from the jewish chronicle So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews? http://www.thejc.com/comment-and-debate/comment/68082/so-what-did-muslims-do-jews For more about how islam preserved and developed the knowledge of civilisations even after conquests http://www.planetherbs.com/history/the-role-of-islamic-scholarship-in-preserving-and-developing-western-medicine-during-the-medieval-period-the-roots-of-planetary-herbology.html Article of Michael Tierra The story of saluhuddin ent6eriing Jerusalem is widely known. The mercy he showed to crusaders when he had the upper hand was remarkable. less than a century before, muslim men, children and women were massacred by the crusaders... The jews had their golden ages in the lands of the muslims... Not in Europe where they were being persecuted.

[size=15pt]You are not being honest[/size] 5 The Success of Non-Muslim People in Muslim Ruled LandsAnyone can pick a story that suits their narrative. You muslims enjoy referring us to stories that are 600 to 700 years old. can you name one western country that does not allow foreigners to live, work and prosper within it's territory? A lot of muslims receive state benefits from these western governments. you are talking about a Moghul empire that existed from 1526 to 1757. what the hell is wrong with you? why do you people think like this. islam and muslims don't tolerate and the most ignorant person knows that. Do you know there is mosque in Rome. Do you know there is a prayer room designated to other religions within the Vatican? Do you know that non-muslims are not allowed to enter Makkah(mecca)? What do you mean by the success of non-muslim people in muslim dominated land? Should we start talking about how non-muslims are targeted and killed for not being muslims or for being a different type of muslim in Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, etc. In countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, muslims tax and steal non-halal money to live a life of luxury. there are banks in these countries who will not give you loan or credit card until you recite the quran, the make loses year-in-year-out and they are bailed out with alcohol and infidel money. 4. Preserving the Wisdom of Other PeopleErasing the cultural identity of a race or a tribe is one of the attributes of islam. except you are not being honest with your. when muslims say submit it means loosing most things that makes you unique. I don't even remember if any hausa name exist. you see northerners with names like ahmed sadiq, muhammed hussein etc. islam did not preserve their culture in anyway. look at what muslims are doing to historical monuments in Mali , yet these same people will refer you to events that happened 800 years ago to justify their action. 3. The Conquest of Jerusalem here we go, the usual crusade story. It's become irritating BTW. Palestinians don't want peace, they want victory. That land (israel and Palestine) means more to the Israelis, muslims and Palestinians just want a football field for their children. Al agsa mosque is a play ground, pinic ground and football field to muslims and Palestinians. 2 Saving the Jews of Spain – Twice What has that got to do with me as a Nigerian. Do you know how many muslims were saved by christians during religious crises in Nigeria and vice versa. Do you know what so many people have lost hiding muslim neighbors from angry mobs? 1. The Prophet and of course the prophet himself. watch the innocence of muslims and read this book "the satanic verse" [size=15pt]look, the biggest threat to islam is not a western government. it is the millions of passive Taliban or boko-haram out there, like the one that created this thread. who is ready to cause havoc anytime his Imam instructs him.[/size] 11 Likes |

Ezira: Really have no problem with true Muslim brothers but their inability to stop the callousness of most extremists calls for concern and makes one generalize Seriously, what do you want them to do? to get guns and fight as well.... It is not as straightforward as you see it... I have been a muslim all my life and i have never met an extremist... weird muslims but no extremist... I have met muslims from US, europe, middle east, Africa and south east asia. So it is not as if they can be found everywhere... What pushes people over the edge is emotions... The number one cause is anger... Anger at the state of the muslim nations and the aggression perpetuated against muslims over the last century.....

“Our horses waded knee-deep in the blood of the Saracens,” wrote one Knight Templar. The post above got me laughing!!...dude, do you actually know the lenght of a horses' knees from his poofs? Are you telling me their blood were large as an ocean?.dont be so gullible my good friend BTW, those facts are history.i was watching an imam's interview on al-jazeera and was so overwhelmed with his explaination about what islam stands for that i wished i was a woman so that i could marry him irrespective of me being a christain!!..he never supported the violence but rather peached peace. The problem is this: how many of those brain washed bomb strapping, gun armed, knife weilding muslims out there killing and executing terror on people can actually understand quaran or are learned enough to know what islam stands for?...your guess is as good as mine.. Heck, the some imams are the main peeps brainwashing these folks!! If all the moslem can be enlightened like the author of this article, walayi talayi, this world will be a better place in terms of religious tolerance!!! |

Deep Sight: And in your own deist wisdom, you believe somehow you proven beyound reasonable doubt that Muslims are intolerant. Now that is pathetic, there are no churches in Saudi becoz the govt decided to make it so, that is that. In the Qur'an Muslims are warned never to destroy religious place of Christians and Jews, the Qur'an remains the only religious book of repute to expressely state there is no compulsion in religion for truth stands out manifest from error!

madridguy: most of christian have been brain washed. read this and know some things about the 9/11 attack. So we should believe everything read here as against the fact that the plane was flown by known terrorist. We should disregard Osamas claim & call him a liar? We should disregard the obvious & look for the conspiracy theory behind it? The only obvious thing....America was bombed & Afghan had to suffer for hiding a terrorist. Ame way we should ignore the death of four people in Benghazi & look for the hidden riddles....we should overlook the burning of embassies in Libya & untuly demonstrations in Other countries & blame it on what again? So if a yoruba man shows the Fulani the inroad to his village & they whole village is plundered & raped....that means the attack is carried out by a Yoruba man right? Read thru this....take a nap & go thru it again & if it still doesn't make any sense to you. Then enroll in an Adult Education programme cos these things aren't even Rocket science 2 Likes |
Re: 5 Examples Of Outstanding Muslim Tolerance by Jarus(m): 9:02pm On Sep 20, 2012 |
This is my first Social Media post on this subject since the incident started. I have personally toned down on, perhaps stopped, discussing Islam and Muslims relations on Social Media, but prefer to discuss it through mainstream channels (Google my article, 'Bad Muslims and the rest of us', published in Guardian newspapers in April this year). Now, let me summarize my take on all these brouhaha 1, The action of the film maker offends the sensibility of Muslims. Take or leave, Muslims are required to love our religious figures especially Allah and His prophets. The worn-out narrative of 'can't your God defend Himself' does not hold water. Only a bastard will have his father cursed or insulted and not react. And to us, we love our God and prophets more than our parent. 2, Now, how do you react? Definitely not by killing innocent souls. No, doing that is another grave sin. I have no problem with the exact blasphemer being dealt it, but definitely not killing Chris Stevens or damaging American interests or maiming the innocent Christian in Maiduguri or Cairo or Kabul. At best, Muslims in far places can, as a matter of solidarity, stage peaceful protests. 3, On freedom on speech rhetoric, well, it's good to be free to talk, but freedom of speech ends when another person's sensibilities begin to be offended. Everyone knows the value Muslims place on their Prophet, does it cost anyone anything to leave us alone and respect our culture, our values. What benefit does the film maker stand to gain by doing such video or someone just waking up one day to announce that he will burn the Qur'an on X day? What do you stand to gain in that? 4, I personally think the world will be a better place if we all mutually respect our cultures, our sensibilities. And for the Muslims killing indiscrimately the world over, you're doing a great disservice to Islam and committing and committing sins, perhaps greater than those you claim you're defending Islam against. 5, Finally I am not moved by the drivels directed here and in other places. I honestly don't care about all such, call me a potential terrorist, a terrorist, a blood sucker, anything, I have outgrown such and has never faltered in my Islamic faith even in the midst of all the backlash. 2 Likes |

Re: 5 Examples Of Outstanding Muslim Tolerance by Kay17: 9:48pm On Sep 20, 2012 |
This thread is pure propaganda, it doesn't seek to address the difference between the Muslim world and Secularism. Peddling Islam is peace with a few random remote examples wouldn't help. Muslim societies strip non muslim rights to the barest, condemned as second class citizens, and forced under islamic laws and morality, in essence they have a low tolerance level and are religiously homogenous Unlike in most present Western societies, which are melting pots with various cultural backgrounds, religious and ethnic diversity, secular values become indispensable. Rights such as free speech are unheard of and unappreciated by the Muslim world. The Muslims trying to advertise a particular critique of a religious/historical figure and the origin of their religion, are willing to face "disagreements" especially as satires. In my view, its a paradigm divide |

Jarus: This I disagree with you on so many points: First, sensibilities or moralities don't supercede human rights. Human rights are foundational and so basic that without them, our laws will have no basis Second, the right to religious freedom can be seen to stem from free speech, with this freedom, one is able to practice, exercise and formulate his religious principles, however sensibilities or respect for his religion is a bridge too far, cos it is a barrier to the basic rights of others! An Ahmadi can't exercise his own basic rights, if mainstream muslims think he is blaspheming and "complementing and hurting the image of the Prophet and Islam. An atheist would be unable to live an unspiritual life and publish his views. Historians will be censored from speaking contrary to the image islam has made for the Prophet, artifacts and books that disagree with islamic principles will be burnt etc. 2 Likes |
