Goodness, this is rather depressing. But you`d be surprised how many muslims are actually functioning on culture rather than religious directive (Zeena`s point) and how little they actually know. Anyways, universal truths hold for all religions. Just being a decent person and all. But the messed up state of muslims actually has very little to do with Islam. It`s mostly the people themselves, and their insecurities, and their lack of knowledge of thier faith. Kind of unfair to blame the religion just because of the people.

its simply the rotting of the mind..and nothing much to do with Religion..
had they been christians with bibles in their pockets..and would they have hurled edicts in the same way but only replacing Allah with Jesus..

these people are everywhere..

super imposing the doctrine which is not truly not so..

this category as such..hails from one and only..Party which i would not disclose here..lest it be insulted..although it had done and shown much to DIY..way..

its all theory without implement../ practise..but they call themselves the master and learned..which ironically doesn`t go with the learned intellect..



at first..it came as if its your own..experience..
nicely managed Purdah Police..

but poor..friend of the groom..must have gone red everytime one of the elites of the brigade was watching him..
must`ve made him churn.in the stomach..

{{You wrote it affected your life in profound ways}}

Can you please, elaborate how many ways you are being wounded , tortured yourself by Islam??

Your obsession for Islam is no more less than fanatic Mullahs. I am seeing a mullah in you.

You better stop your own confusion. Take a break and quit chowk with your useless rantings.

I am not doing any task of improving the image of any religion or Islam. If some one is confused and still calls himself Muslim and think others are confused ,too. That is what I am pointing out.

If you are Hindu, stick to your own belief or religion, you don`t need to hypervent for Islam.
You better take care of your own dogmatic confusions.

Please, stop your projection of confusion upon others. Your confusion is killing you and you are like a merry go round, like a vicious cricle of confusion.

Zeena 55,

You have well and truly taken up the task of ``improving the image of islam``. What is is alm is not some private lunatic viwe of islam, it is formulated and projected by institutions that encompaas people who follow islam. Actions of pakistan an islamic country, actions of people of soudi arabia, what is preached in the mosques, these are the operational aspects of islam. Islam is not in the selective reading of a book, it is in the collective actions of the muslims.

In the large majority of the muslim countries hoodood is the law. Any muslim converting to another religion will be killed, now that should be the proof of equality of religion in muslim countries.

Zeena, take a break, quitt the chowk, you are making no headway.

{In the large majority of the muslim countries hoodood is the law. Any muslim converting to another religion will be killed, now that should be the proof of equality of religion in muslim countries.}

Large majority of the muslim countries? Unless u have expunged Bangladesh, Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt from your list of Muslim countries and included Saudi Arabia nd Pakistatan only then tour assertion maybe correct, otherwise u r way off the mark and trying to present nothing more than baseless propaganda.

As for killing of muslim converts, well that is also debatble from a Islamic perspective and is not followed or allowed in majority of th Muslim countries. I guess ppl like u take pride in murdering innocent ppl in the name of religion such as the recent murderous sttack on a Turkish judge, that says it all.

Re: # 55

.... now, let`s go out and kick some wahabi ass !!!! (in our new religion we are allowed to use this word) ............ takbeer! (or, cheers - whatever pleases you, it is okay by our prophet tahmed (ra) )

You leave me fairly astounded.

Do you mean to tell me that it is possible for Muslim ladies to be fat and ugly?

I thought they were all ``cute`` - by definition! Isn`t the wicked world of evil kafirs drooling all over them - just to get to that ``fair`` skin?

Like Suzanne Somers once said - and can still probably say!

``If you got it, blow it with a trumpet!``

I wonder where the ladies of chowk nights rate?!

Considering all the time that they probably spend on their fannies in front of the computer, probably more on the ``fat`` side and less on the ``cute`` side!

Dear Zeena

You just commited blasphemy by saying that purdah is not Islamic by christ it is and by mohammad it will be enforced by force.

Hygene condtions in arabia were not upto scratch. Mohammad wive`s use to go out to answer nature`s call. Some of the early muslim`s were peeping toms and they use to tease some of Mohammad`d wives.

To stop this Mohammad came up with revelation`s of purdah.

Later muslim`s scholors like Al-Ghazali went further and said the whole female body is vagina and therfore they should cover it.

That is Islamic justification for purdah

God save the muslim women from Islam.

Re:bjkumar#33

[...Can anybody name ONE single benefit of purdah?...]

Yep, it covers up all the fat and ugly women as well as the cute ones. Since the cute ones are only a minority in any population, the purdah shields men from looking at fat, ugly women all the time. May not be a bad deal, actually.

Re: # 46
[..I really laugh at some biased Hindus when they target Islam with their won narrowminded approach........with out even knowing any ABCS of real Islam.]

Oh yeah - the real Islam... we have been hearing about this magical beast called ``real islam`` for quite sometime now... nobody has seen it yet... :)....

So you can believe in magical beasts and laugh your heart out... the joke is actually on you :)...

mohar11

Just read my post # 55. Thank you. If you really wish to know what Islam is.....or leave Islam alone.

You do not have any heart and soul to understand any belief or religion, let islam alone.....

Right from the beginning you sounded like a JOKER. No need to prove it any more. I already know, when you start mocking Islam with NO reason.

I do not mock Hinduism. Rather I read Geeta with great interest. And , frankly I do believe in so many concepts of Hindu religion. This is the way I am.

If you mock religions, it doesn`t mean anything.

Yes, If you wish to mock some persons then mock them on other issues. What is this like a broken record , your needle is stuck on rererererere rrrrrr religion, Islaaaaaaaam.

Re: # 56 zeena
[...leave Islam alone...]

No maam, no can do... Islam, as practiced today, has become a destructive force - similar to nazism and communism of yester-years... it has affected kafir lives in profound ways and we kafirs have no choice but to seek to neutralize this ideology...

I am not ``mocking`` islam - I am telling you the way it is...
