Non-Muslims....
If someone is a non-muslim, does it make him/her less human being/bad? Or would they have the same respect as us in your eyes?
hmm I've found the very people most 'religous' people condemn to be so horrible are the one's who are often times the nicest and most sincere. Being religous or muslim tells you nothing of one's character which is something only God knows.
Its really sad though cause this whole attitude of non-muslims being lesser people is unfortunately one that many of us grow up hearing.
ok, you have a point, i just meant some of the ppl amina mentioned who r falling for that girl's every word are likely to be dopey rather than young n' naive...
Amina sometimes its not a question of someone being intelligent enough to notice these things....but jus someone who is naieve and takes people for face value.
aminaart.. ppl like one in your eg. trip up sooner or later, you can see through someone who is fundamentalist and pretending not to be.. either that or the ppl praising them are just as bad..
these interaction alerts means i fall behind on the new journals! anyway i respect everyone, no matter their faith... as long as they give me the respect i deserve too! there is good and bad in all people!
amina, i agree some people on sites like naseeb seem to bleat on about islam/ the perils of the east/ west to the point where you can see it's their insecurities (or lack of knowledge speaking)..
but some of us like bringing up this stuff in order to bring it to people's attention so it can be debated and any glaring misconceptions/ prejudices/ omissions in the general desi way of thinking can be cleared up
Yes, I typed up a long comment, sadly I lost it! What I was saying is that, how dare ppl degrade our countries becuase of 'crimes' and whatsnot.... if our countries had the MONEY, they would fall into places... with education, mentality, lifestyle, crime, food and so on... EVERYTHING we can think of will fall into places. Its only becuase of LACK of money we cannot move forward. if ONE person can help, makes a DIFFERENCE to one person from our country.... it shows hope and enouragement. Rather than waiting for rest of the world to help SOMEDAY. Our roots, that we never forget, shalwar kameez, the language, the food, our grandparents struggles and survivors and so on, how can we forget that when we live in the west? I plan to help re my ART world, to collect poor and talented artist from south asia and help to promote them, create awareness for charity. How dare ppl degrade our countries becuase of crime like rapes? Dont every country has it pros and cons???!!! The west has all the MONEY and who can make a little diff each day.... my apologies for rambling on, it just makes me angry to see ppl falling into trap like Kaniza that show the negative light of our ppl. She also claimed that we are LESS EDUCATED if we dont have the DEPTH and UNDERSTANDING of her JE.
Amina- so funny and scary when u said 'show Islam too much, always have something about them' I just experienced this facist Islamic woman in another village doing the same crap. LOL
Or actually... some ppl who are 'activist'.... they claim they arent terrorist but want to show the 'light', encourage ppl to 'free' as they couldnt be 'free' in the past.
Thank you, I shall let you know InshAllah! I feel I have no enough material and so much to do though! LOL. F_O_N, in my opinion... ppl who try to show Islam too much, always have something about them.
