to you its a waste of time cos you can't counter the truth of what I have written that's all. if you could, you would have been all over the place as usual. Iran should spare us of their propaganda with the west. We have plenty here to more than occupy us |
LagosShia:You were the one who wrote Italy should be tolerant to its religious minorities just like Iran is to theirs thus bringing in a whole dimension (false I may add) to the story. The murder (still unproven), if true, IS WRONG. Dont get me wrong on that. The Italian police say that the death is a suicide, the Iranians say it is not. How come the Iranians know better than the Italian police in it own turf? Did they have access to the evidence? Do they care more for the man than Italians? Besides Iran is known for posturing and repression of minorities (which I have shown) so its not exactly on a high moral standing to make allegations cos if the man (Edoardo) were a Muslim and converted to, say, Bahai, going by antecedents of Iranians, chances are he wouldnt be treated well. as for the Bahai,you asked an important question:that answer lies here: The Iranian government claims that the Bahá'í Faith is not a religion, but a political organization, and hence refuses to recognize it as a minority religion.[122] However, the government has never produced convincing evidence supporting its characterization of the Bahá'í community.[123] Also the government's statements that Bahá'ís who recanted their religion would have their rights restored, attests to the fact that Bahá'ís are persecuted solely for their religious affiliation.[124] The Iranian government also accuses the Bahá'í Faith of being associated with Zionism because the Bahá'í World Centre is located in Haifa, Israel.[125] These accusations against the Bahá'ís have no basis in historical fact,[126][127][128] and the accusations are used by the Iranian government to use the Bahá'ís as "scapegoats".[129] In fact it was the Iranian Shah who banished Bahá'u'lláh from Persia to the Ottoman Empire and he was later exiled by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, at the behest of the Persian Shah, to territories further away from Iran and finally to Acre in Syria, which only a century later was incorporated into the state of Israel.[130] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahai As if Christianity and even Islam don't have a strong affinity to the Jews and the land of Israel. Even the Jews in Iran are better treated than the Bahai. This begs the question who bears more allegiance to Isreal? Jews or the Bahai? Its politics, paranoia and the challenge it poses religion in Iran. As Bernard Lewis states that the Muslim laity and Islamic authorities have always had great difficulty in accommodating post-Islamic monotheistic religions such as the Bahá'í Faith, since the followers of such religions cannot be dismissed either as benighted heathens, like the polytheists of Asia and the animists of Africa, nor as outdated precursors, like the Jews and Christians. Moreover, their very existence presents a challenge to the Islamic doctrine of the finality of Muhammad's revelation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahai For Iran and other arabian nations anything from Isreal is viewed with suspicion. Check this out http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12120259 They should let religious minorities be jor, just as there are Muslims in Switzerland, Germany, US, Canada, Spain and Italy living their lives free and even wanting laws changes to respect them and their religious preferences, countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia should open up and do the same so that people can truly be free to be Stone worshippers, sangoist, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, humanist or free thinkers!! It is wrong to want to be treated right elsewhere when YOU DENY OTHER PEOPLE (EVEN YOUR OWN PEOPLE) THE VERY SAME RIGHTS. Its called hypocrisy. Its plain wrong! |
LagosShia:Yes oh! I agree with you that the man has the FULL rights to attain whatever political role he wants to attain. Its not him i have reservations about, its the Iranians that have built conspiracies around his death. Of course he was a pawn in the cold war between the west and Iran during the Iranian revolution. Iran itself is not minding the thousands that were killed because they were a threat to the state or for apostasy. Edoardo's life is not more precious that them. If Iran has equated his life with those of its citizens, there will be less repression for apostasy for example they are not murdered at all.they are a banned movement in Iran.likewise,in many countries even in europe you find that Jehovah's witnesses are also banned.Jehovah's are NOT banned in Europe except for communist countries where religious, whatever they are, are curtailed. Jehovah's witness' problems in the west got to a head in the 1930's and 1940's when World War II was at its peak. The allies needed recruits and Jehovah's witness are highly pacifist (ie someone opposed to violence as a means of settling disputes) and that clashed with recruitments and allegiances (anthems and flag salutes etc). In the course of the war they were derided and scorned for not being patriotic. Quite quickly, the courts stepped in and resolved the issues in favour of Jehovah's Witnesses. in the united states of america,the christian polygamist sect is persecuted and their leader (Warren Jeffs) is in prison.Jeffs was convicted of felony counts of child intimate assault, child marriages, violation and forced marriages. The American legal system is very hard on child sex offenders. He had operated his cult for sometime without molestation until he overstepped his bounds by touching children the wrong way. THIS IS NOT PERSECUTION. What he did is DISGUSTING and he didnt deny it. He got what he deserved. they are not murdered at all.they are a banned movement in Iran.They are not a movement but a religious sect with a different leaning in Islam placing them outside mainstream Islam. They are viewed as heretics or apostates. There are several documented extreme violence against the group. This is an entry in wikipedia about their persecution in Iran: Starting in late 1979 the new government of the Islamic Republic of Iran systematically targeted the leadership of the Bahá'í community by focusing on the Bahá'í National Spiritual Assembly (NSA) and Local Spiritual Assemblies (LSA). In November 1979, Ali Murad Davudi, the secretary of the NSA, was kidnapped and never seen again.[30] In August 1980 all nine members of the National Spiritual Assembly were arrested while meeting at a private home.[10] In a statement on September 10, 1980, then speaker of the House Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, stated that an order for the arrests of the Bahá'ís had been issued, but by October 9, 1980 Rafsanjani changed his statement and said that no members of the NSA were arrested.[10] There has been no further news regarding the nine NSA members since their arrest in 1980, and their fate remains unknown, although there are reports that they were at some point held in Evin prison; they are now presumed dead.[10] After the disappearance of the NSA members, the Iranian Bahá'í elected a new NSA. On December 13, 1981 eight of the nine new NSA members were arrested by the Iranian authorities, and were executed on December 27, 1981 without trial.[10] In addition to the execution of the members of two National Spiritual Assemblies, the members of Local Spiritual Assemblies throughout the country were also killed. Between April 1979 and December 1980 at least eight prominent Tehran Bahá'ís were killed. In September 1980 in Yazd, fifteen Bahá'ís were arrested, and after a graphic trial that was partially televised, seven of the Bahá'ís were executed; the remaining eight were released after four months.[10] In Tabriz in 1979 two prominent Bahá'ís were executed and then in 1981 all nine members of the Tabriz LSA were executed. In Hamadan seven members of the LSA of Hamaden were executed by firing squad, and while the bodies were being prepared for the funeral it was found that six of the men were physically tortured before their death.[10] In Shiraz between 1978 and 1981, the House of the Báb, a Bahá'í holy place, was destroyed, five prominent Bahá'ís were executed, and more than 85 Bahá'ís were arrested for interrogations; then in 1983 sixteen more Bahá'ís were executed.[10] On August 29, 1983 the government announced a legal ban on all administrative and community activities of the Bahá'í community, which required the dissolution of the third National Spiritual Assembly and about 400 Local Spiritual Assemblies.[10] The Bahá'í community complied with the ban, but the former members of the LSAs were routinely harassed, and seven members of the third NSA were eventually arrested and executed.[10] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Bah%C3%A1'%C3%ADs incidentally, the Bahai faith takes a very pragmatic view about the world and how to solve its problems. I really dont see how the Bahai is a threat in Iran. I need to be educated. I drew this conclusion going by their creed ; The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition; the oneness of the entire human race, the pivotal principle and fundamental doctrine of the Faith; the basic unity of all religions; the condemnation of all forms of prejudice, whether religious, racial, class or national; the harmony which must exist between religion and science; the equality of men and women, the two wings on which the bird of humankind is able to soar; the introduction of compulsory education; the adoption of a universal auxiliary language; the abolition of the extremes of wealth and poverty; the institution of a world tribunal for the adjudication of disputes between nations; the exaltation of work, performed in the spirit of service, to the rank of worship; the glorification of justice as the ruling principle in human society, and of religion as a bulwark for the protection of all peoples and nations; and the establishment of a permanent and universal peace as the supreme goal of all mankind—these stand out as the essential elements [which Bahá'u'lláh proclaimed].[27] I wonder why they are so despised in Iran. |
LagosShia:all I see is a guy with political potential and Iran took it on themselves to elevate him. @ bolded; how does Iran treat th Baha'i faith? worse that sub humans. did you know Baha'i faith adherents in Iran are denied University education? do you how many have been murdered? just for being Baha'i ? |
Iranian propaganda! You think the west loves its own citizens less than Iranians. it has shown time and again it will risk life and limb for its own. if this dude had been a normal guy on the street would Iran spend political capital on this story? No. its cause the man is a son to a popular industrialist. There are people who choose Islam from other religions and are not given similar attention. Also, there are tens of thousands of Muslims in Italy who are not hounded or harassed because they are muslims, so why is this guys story any different. its propaganda. Iran should be tolerant to its religious minorities just like the west is to theirs and stop whining. |

ivoice247:@ bolded. Your statement makes a lot of sense. |
LagosShia:QUOTE the appropriate verses please |
LagosShia:Another site states the same quote: http://www.thefullwiki.org/Tahrir-ol-vasyleh Are they all wrong? Give me a site that shows the correct translation. |
Sweetnecta:You obviously didn't take my advice. ![]() But, its a free world. |
the media reports what they see. Muslims need to work harder to rein in fanaticism that is tainting their religion. Majority of Muslims are wonderful, peaceful people and that gives them leverage to counter the ones who behave otherwise. while other religious groups have their own dark side (of course), playing the victims of the "non-muslim" press hardly helps. Cos lets face it even some of the Al-Jazera's coverages are not exactly flattering. |
has he turned Nostradamus now? just asking ![]() |
sweetnecta, your English reminds me of a certain first lady! ![]() You don't make sense at all. Write slowly and always read your posts carefully. Don't go rushing to eulogise people without thinking through what you want to say. Free advice. ![]() |

Sahih Muslim Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have intimate intercourse with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male intimate organ before emission of Fluid to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. Sahih Muslim Book 8 Number 3371 |
Sunan Abu Dawud Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, send down the Qur'anic verse: "And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hand possess."[Surah 4:24] , Sunan Abu Dawud, Book V, Chapter 711, Number 2150 ![]() |

""A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual acts such as pre-intimacy, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man’s four permanent wives.

mumu! the subject of Aisha'a marriage was discussed in another thread where the allegation she was young was refuted and the christians themselves were put on the defense for Mary.you contributed the same rubbish in that thread:are we to believe you or to believe what the ![]() |
LagosShia: ![]() In Iran, a kiss on the cheek between two men is simply a sign of respectful friendship. Many Iranian men kiss on the cheek when they meet (as Arab men do). Before the revolution, the custom was two kisses, one on each cheek. After the revolution, though, this turned to three. No official explanation has been provided for the change, although some Iranians—especially monarchists—believe that the extra kiss was a sign of defiance to the previous regime. http://the-diplomat.com/2010/09/21/when-two-ayatollahs-kiss/ |
Muslim (8:3311) - The girl Aisha took her dolls with her to Muhammad's house. Sahih Bukhari (6:298) - Muhammad would take a bath with the little girl and handle her. The permanent committee for scientific research and religious sanctions:These are not my words oh! |
Muhammad dreamt of Aisha before soliciting her from her father. Aisha’s father did not approve at first Aisha was not the only one Muhammad thought about |
LagosShia:DUde, I aint gonna argue with you on this: why? the text where you copied from are clear. NO NEED FOR ADDITION, SUBTRACTION OR CONJUNCTURE. @ Boded: Then why show them at all if they had something to hide? ![]() |

Sahih Bukhari (6:298) - Muhammad would take a bath with the little girl and handle her. Sahih Bukhari (4:232) - Muhammad's wives would wash Fluid stains out of his clothes, which were still wet from the spot-cleaning even when he went to the mosque for prayers. Bukhari (62:6) - "The Prophet used to go round (have intimate relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives." Muhammad also said that it was impossible to treat all wives equally.
