Why The Caption "A Forum For Muslims To Share Their Faith. Muslims Only Please," by beejaay: 10:55am On Feb 07, 2013 |
i am not a fan of religious forum but was a bit taken back when i saw the cation "A forum for Muslims to share their faith. Muslims only please, even the moderators are Muslims". are we muslims scared to have our faith challenged? are we scared of what non-muslims will ask and say about us? are we not promoting segregations among Allah's creations?? if we keep this forum open for only muslims, how are people looking for answers going to get since they cant come on this forum. i think the MODs should think about this and realize they are not doing justice to Islam. Christain forum is mixed with everyone and there faith are being challenged and re-solidifies just my own observation Salam 1 Like |

beejaay: Could you define transparent? There are threads from this section on front page. How much more transparent can they get? |

Trust me, it is not a big problem. Apart from that warning, there is the 2nd one you have not mentioned: To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam. That warning may put a few people off but it has not prevented trolls and other uncouth posters from posting and getting banned by me. I understand what you are trying to say, but those who are insightful will know that we can have civil discussions without people being sanctioned even with all of these warnings. |

Muslims want to be left alone to discuss beneficial knowledge. Afteral “The religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity.” They said, “To who O Messenger of Allaah (PBUH)?” He (PBUH) said, “To Allaah, and His Book, and His Messenger (PBUH), and the Imaams (leaders) of the Muslims, and their common folk.” (Muslim) beejaay: beejaay: May Allah give you guidance Of course "Ihdina s-sirata l-mustaqim" |

I suggest you lay low for a while and observe trends. You will see that debates with Non-Muslims happen here. Only trolls get sanctioned. |

That is not the problem Muslims disagree on certain issues - That is not the problem. Shayk Uthaymeen has book on that subject "Difference of Opinion Amongst Scholars" Muslim however DON'T disagree on some fundamentals - oneness of Allah, Salat, Zakak, Ramadan fasting, Need to submit totally to Allah and His messenger (PBUH) Enter Islam completely = Qur'an 2 : 208 The problem is those who derail thread by abusing Allah and His Messenger (PBUH). We are not allowed to sit and discuss with those. It is religious But when someone abuses my parent, I stop discussing with the person. This is religious matter too. We are forbidden from allowing people to abuse our parents Anyone can call me a fo.ol, eed.iot, stu.pid. It does not matter. Discussion continues People are allowed to query some Islamic beliefs, but some issues are off limits There is nowhere where there is absolute freedom of speech Anyone who says "Death to America" is marked Anyone who challenges the authenticity of the holocaust in Europe goes to jail CAN has told us that they will stop restraining Christian youths from resorting to violence if El Rufai does not stop abusing Jesus Christians who moderate the main Religious Board on NL also threaten to ban people who post insulting statements So I DON'T believe that that warning should be removed. Seun should be supported We should post civilly, objectively, and with empathy. That is not too much to ask BTW Non-muslims who want to preach (to Muslims) tolerance of opposing viewpoints should DEMONSTRATE tolerance in their reaction to posts I can criticise Christianity, philosophy, atheism etc without being offensive 2 Likes |

Samdul: ol u advocating 4 a name change 4 dis section,i guess u guys are muslims right?y have u nt contributed in any way 2 enlighten ppls misconceptn abt islam,at least u can start 4rm dia. You seriously believe that everyone calling himself a Muslim on NL is one? It is a new and growing strategy of the enemies of Islam to say "I am muslim" and then launch broadsides against Islam Those attacks are potentially more effective because bystanders who are not aware of their intrigue and agenda are led to believe that some muslims are also concerned about some issues raised by non-muslims and are "courageous and truth-loving" enough to challenge fellow muslims Reality is that the most inveterate haters of Islam are simply evolving new strategies to stick a knife into the religion Multiple IDs on NLs are a dime a dozen But there are usually tell-tale signs They are as objective and sincere in their comments as Slim Jiddi who was the centre referee in the match between Ghana and Burkina Faso |

BetaThings:stop being on the defensive side. Islam doesnt need anyone to defend it (dont get it twisted). everyone is a potential muslim if not one already, we should always treat them as such ( when we see people as haters, we automatically close our affectionate side and switch on our defensive/offensive side which is surely not what Islam preach) |

beejaay: I prefer to, as honestly and objectively as possible, defend Islam from people who malign it and misrepresent it I will not attack other religions with falsehood I cannot understand how exposing dedicated enemies of Islam who pretend to be Muslims but are using that subterfuge to present Islam in a a very bad light will hurt Islam and stop some people from embracing it Being double-faced, viciously fabricating damaging lies against other religions or taking up multiple IDs are things that a muslim should not do Now, you Beejaay, contest and deny the pillars of Islam while calling yourself a Muslim. Is that how to show the affectionate side of Islam? To lure people into a religion by presenting to people as optional matters on which they will have no choice but to accept? I know what Islam preaches. The key obligations of a muslim (salat, Zakat etc) are MORE IMPORTANT than converting people. There is no way Islam allows us to trade the pillars for "acceptability and affectation" NOT everybody will become a Muslim. |
