@ TayoD:

sure, there'd be "special offerings", all donated to fund advanced research by Pa Olabs in the scientific evidence of the biological link btw beards and sex and the sexual gratifications in keeping at least 2 meters of bia bia cheesy cheesy
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by gbadex1(m): 8:37pm On Jan 08, 2007
@ Thief:

Actually, i was about suggest you hook up with Sista. . .
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:42pm On Jan 08, 2007
nah. I dash her to you.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by TayoD(m): 8:44pm On Jan 08, 2007
@TOH,

Do you alwasy derail every thread you get involved with? I'm just curious. This topic went way off target since you came onboard.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:48pm On Jan 08, 2007
*always

Anyway what was the thread about before?

Please tell me.

Last I checked I stayed ON topic by asking mukina about SAID topic, that's when you all came around and interrupted the conversation I was having with her or should I provide quotes for you?

You're still living in that dream world of where this thread was actually something of significance? Seriously?
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by gbadex1(m): 9:00pm On Jan 08, 2007
@TOH:

don't worry, i'll pass. . .!
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by TayoD(m): 9:03pm On Jan 08, 2007
@TOH,

Despite all that googguy has said about the reason for this subject, you are still pushing your opinion down the throat of everybody.

While you are providing the said quote about asking Muki some questions, please don't leave out the insults you rained at others in the process. And never forget that while you were being made to see some truths about Muki's position, all you do again was rain down abuses.

If you are asked why muslims keep long beards, what would be your answer? Don't just tell us it is sunnah 'cos you have to explain the purpote of that sunnah as well.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by mukina2: 9:07pm On Jan 08, 2007
some people would never let sleeping dogs lie tongue grin

why wake it up again?
goodguy has his answers . .its ok now
you just keep going on and on . .
haaaaaaaaaaa
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by ThiefOfHearts(f): 9:14pm On Jan 08, 2007
Yes TayoD I "rained down insults" without any provacation at all. yea, ok

TayoD:

@TOH,
If you are asked why muslims keep long beards, what would be your answer? Don't just tell us it is sunnah 'because you have to explain the purpose of that sunnah as well.

Mukina mentioned sunnah yea however did you bother to get her elaborate more? Maybe, maybe not. Either way the reason why she didnt really reply is mainly cos she probably felt this thread wasnt really seeking answers. That's what I got from how she was responding anyway hence the question I asked her recently.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by TayoD(m): 9:22pm On Jan 08, 2007
@TOH,

You know what I got from those answers? They have no clue why they do what they do. How does it enahnce righteousness? How does it help them in their daily lives? Apart form the wrong notion that it is a secondary sex organ, I have found no other reasonable answer.

Muki did not provide answers not because she felt no one is seeking any, but because she does not know. Shikena.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by mukina2: 9:33pm On Jan 08, 2007
tayod
tell me how will i reply to ur sermons
when you guys do not wait for the post to land before you start dissectin it
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by TayoD(m): 9:45pm On Jan 08, 2007
Mukina2,

Don't you expect us to dissect whatever answers you give to us? So you want us to agree that beards are secondary sexual organs without batting an eyelid? I was not brought up that way academically and spiritually.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by Nobody: 9:50pm On Jan 08, 2007
Mukina,would the length of beard be a requirement when you are about to choose a spouse?

my other question,most of the Muslim have been speaking so far for the women,from a Muslimah perspective,would you be happy being a second,third or 4th wife or even a first wife with many other co wives to share your matrimonial bed with?

what would be your initial reaction when your beloved husband announces that another female is moving in?
Is the womans consult and feelings at all important or they have no say?
How would you feel as a woman on your bed lonely at night,knowing that another woman perhaps younger and preetier is next door with your man and you have no say and that yet another may come in later.


I am serious,your answer here is really solicited.

Your answer here has gladdened my heart to know that there are Muslim women that see this polygamy thing as unfair to us women and would not stand it no matter how much the men tell us how fantastic it is(for us).
I'm pretty sure you are not alone in this.

Not just in Islam,some people have used some Christian texts out of context to dehumanise the female.

I once said that no woman in their right mind if given a choice would prefer to be one of many wives and you have proven me right.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by goodguy(m): 10:19pm On Jan 08, 2007
TayoD, thanks for bringing us back on course.


ThiefOfHearts:

Last I checked I stayed ON topic by asking mukina about SAID topic, that's when you all came around and interrupted the conversation I was having with her or should I provide quotes for you?

And while asking mukina, you accused the OP and other posters of trying to ridicule Islam, while calling our posts "shit" at the same time.  This was when you started derailing the topic.  You started it all.  You're always starting trouble with all your name callings.  And as babyosisi said, that is very unladylike.

And they will never allow it in Jesus' Name! Muki, you're too valuable to be given away like that.

goodguy, what you think of me means absolutely nothing to me. I dont do "ladylike" in cyber world. Sorry to break it to you. Obviously it bothers you since you keep hounding me around, why dont you just put me on ignore and go on your way.

So in other words you didnt gave any knowlegde from this thread. True or False?
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by Nobody: 10:31pm On Jan 08, 2007
a question now to the Muslim man,if your wife vehemently opposes your marrying another woman,

A. would you do it anyway as your Allah ordained duties since you've convinced yourself you can love them equally,

B. Banish and whip her labelling her a disobedient wife ,

C . pronounce "I divorce you 4 times,get rid of her and find one willing to comply or

D. Would you see her point that it is degrading and de humanising from a womans perspective to share a man with several others.

For as long as you keep directing your posts to me and attacking me, it won't work. Ever noticed, you're always the first to attack me?

@shaitan leave me alone what now?

I was acquainted many years ago with a beautiful female Muslim physician from Tunisia whose husband had been so cruel  in the name of light beatings including bringing in another woman in the name of religion.
When she attempted to escape,even her own family sought to kill her.
She is thankfully now safe here in the USA.
I have tried to find  her but she told me she was going to change her identity for safety reasons before we lost touch
There are many stories like hers.
Re: Why Do Muslim Men Wear Long Beards? by Nobody: 10:46pm On Jan 08, 2007
No woman, under the guise of anything,religion or not should be treated like a property.
We are full humans with complete thinking faculty.

I would advocate strongly for women and children of any race,religion or creed.
Every woman should have the right and priviledge to determine what is right for them,even if it opposes what the man wants of them.

yeah .  . .sometime ago a girl stabbed a man to death  .here . .simply because the family wanted her to marry the man and she was just 18 . .she was in school . .living her normal . life . .they forced her . .had her male relatives forcefully carry her into the home . .unbeknowin  to them she had a knife hidden in her wrapper . .she stabbed him to death when he forced himself on her . .it was a big case  but women groups all over the country stood up for her . .and they didnt arrest her

as for me no man will ever force me to marry him
even iuf i love my husband more than life and itself the minute he brings in another woman i'll leave . angry

I once said that no woman in their right mind if given a choice would prefer to be one of many wives and you have proven me right.

some sects of Mormonism allows multiple wives as well and you are indeed right that some Christians use text to dehumanize females, some use it for racism and slavery, which is why I find all this a little too weird.
Either way if you try to look for something bad in certain things, you'll surely find it. Infact alot of things people accuse Islam of is pretty much the same as some of the African traditions that some people still partake in anyway.

I asked mukina about his presence because it reminded me alot of when I was very young here elementary school. The "akatas" would always have questions to ask about "Africa" from us then you go all into it but then you relaize that these people arent asking to understand, they are asking to make a fool out of you. They maken all the same dumb jokes, you think you are helping by trying to make them understand but it made matters worse. Not all did this but alot of them did and eventually I become wise to their dumb questions and usually avoided/ignored them.

I suppose that's what I felt for her because this isnt the first thread in which I've seen her react like this and it's like, why does she bother?

anyway carry on
