Guardian article: How to be an 'ordinary, decent' muslim

the_new_mr

Hi everyone!

I've been away for a couple of days but now I'm back.

Found this link in my e-mail this morning. Pretty funny but also quite sad because a lot of it is true.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1861509,00.html

The link to Full coverage - Muslim Britain in the related articles section seems pretty interesting too. Read a couple of articles from there and they weren't too bad a read.

Crap article. WHat I find most interesting is that they are still trying to push the old lie that Matterazi called Zidanes mother a "terrorist whore"........11 Whiteboy Catholics outplayed Zidanes Afro-Muslim outfit that night. Why can't people live with it.? Why the need to pretend they know what was said? Zidanes silence is good enuff proof that NOTHING was said.

PS, who are all these great Muslim athletes? Amir Khan...HA! He's nothing.

Islam punches under its weight in sports.

Did anybody see that pathetic display by the {imported Africans} "Saudi" team in the World Cup? When they scored they all prayed toards Mecca.

They only scored against....Tunisia.

Pathetic really.

Nothing more hideous and pathetic than a secular sympathizer.

What do you mean by that comment IT Loser?

Btw, you are familar with Satire? If not go look it up in a dictionary.

I mean, there is nothing more pathetic than a secular sympathiser.

A man who preaches religious tolerance, but who has no religion of his own.

Who better to preach religious tolerance than someone who practices a Religion.

Practice What You Preach....thats what I say.

BTW there's no need for that tone ....."go look it up in a dictionary".....the Guardian is RENOWNED for its Pro-Islamic sentiment.

Oh...Hobbesy has cleared off for the night. So be it. He must be gone to look something up in a dictionary. Word.:cool:

Abuse against any religious beliefs is not tolerated in any of the religion forums, that includes the beliefs of those with no religion.

It's perfectly okay to explore such beliefs, including from a postion of disagreement with them, but that's off-topic in the Islam forum.

Back on the topic, read that article over breakfast the other day, was indeed very drole.

Can I take it then that you do not preach religious tolerance based on your statements?

by Tallisien-It's perfectly okay to explore such beliefs, including from a postion of disagreement with them, but that's off-topic in the Islam forum.

Is this sarcasm, or is it indeed a rule on the Islam forum, that it is off-topic to disagree. Is disagreement with Mohammed or the Qu'ran automatically considered abuse to Muslims? Sorry, I am new around here and want to make sure I don't disrepect the rules.

Best read the Forum Charter to be sure.

If you want to discuss the forum rules please use the forum charter thread. Thanks.

No, the 'best' person to teach religious tolerance is a persuasive person.
