Topic: Goodbye to All Posted: 09 June 2006 at 12:01am |
I think the problem that Patty is talking about is endemic amongst all politco-religious message boards.
I've gone onto pro-U.S. message boards. I'd get lambasted, get called racist names and threatened. I used to call myself Malcolm X and you won't believe the number of private messages with the 'N' word I'd get.
I used to think that this discussion forum was a bit more progressive than that, but you can tell by the dwindling number of Jews and Chirstians that frequent this site that I may be wrong.

At that times when the verse was revealed all Jews and Christians had not converted to Islam, and they were following thorah and bible
Till then they followed what was revealed before quran and ofcourse theyhad to believe in one Allah and be rightious
Later when the order came to follow Quran and Prophet Mohdammed pbh
They all had change and those who did not are non believers

Brother Salman,
You must understand that there are many things that we will disagree on. I agree with Brother Suleyman's view. That is also what I learned when I reverted to Islaam. YOU can worship Allah as an unforgiving god, but to me, He is All-Merciful to all of us. Only Allah, The All-Knowing knows what is in anyone's heart, and He is our Protector and Judge.
Peace

I came to this board in good faith in an attempt to learn what Islam is really all about. My expectations were that this forum would provide mature and respectful exchanges of conversation and dialogue on a variety of topics.
I was wrong. People of other faiths are not really accepted here by any means. There is no equality, and I find this extremely disappointing. I had thought better of your religion and culture. However, after many days of being respectful and courteous regarding your beloved religion and prophet, I have learned that it is a one way street. Although there are some who I believe would like to show more parity, but don't out of fear of repercussions.
For this reason I will take what I have learned (most has been negative because of such a lack of respect and horrendous rudeness which is allowed by some immature Muslims.) I had heard (but did not believe) that a Muslim will always stand up for another Muslim no matter what the issue. I did not believe this! I was wrong. This has been one of the toughest lessons I have had to learn, and I have had to accept that I am truly hated by Muslims.....for no reason other than that I am not Muslim.
May Allah/God richly bless each of you and grant you great wisdom.
