golpen: Alhamdulillah, aaaaal izzzz vweeel!!!Good work sir, We both understand that there is no perfect system. The Western culture has some flaws. No question there. However, I dont see how the Islamic sharia is better or even corrects these flaws. Like I said, an indecent girl will dress half naked in the west but in a muslim society, she might wear a burkha- will the burkha change her innate indecent desires? The burkha or strict moral dressing wont stop a woman from being nasty. Putting lipstick on a pig will not change the animal from being pig. The west gives women a choice. Some use the choice wisely and some dont. It is as simple as that. Thanks for your contribution. It is good that we can agree on certain things. A honest muslim ![]() |
^^^ hope all is well |
When the issue of women's rights and issues comes up, we know the usual comments on the West from some muslims; -Western women are "sexualized" -Western women dress naked on the streets -Western women are objectified with beauty pageants. -Western culture exploits women eninn: Western talk of women’s liberalization is nothing but a disguised form of exploitation of her body, degradation of her soul and deprivation of her honour. Western society claims to have ‘uplifted’ women. On the contrary it has actually degraded them to the status of concubines, mistresses and society butterflies who are mere tools in the hands of pleasure seekers and sex marketeers, hidden behind the colourful screen of ‘art’ and ‘culture’.https://www.nairaland.com/941166/womens-rights#17686162 maclatunji: Western culture is almost always exploitative of women. For one, Michelle Obama has no privacy even when she never campaigned for or was elected into public office. Let's be honest, she has no powers of the President, yet she is burdened with many parts of his work as President. Even her bedroom is not a sanctuary and is quite accessible to a number of outsiders all in the name of presidential staff and aides.https://www.nairaland.com/941166/womens-rights#17690658 ========================================================================== The point of this thread is to explain how and why these criticisms of the West are shallow and one-dimensional. They do muslims no good to engage in them. 1) "Western women dress unclad and skimpy" Not all western women dress skimpy. The simple culture in the west is that women are free to dress however they like except when it causes a problem to the society (eg walking n.aked on the streets). The issue that some muslims do not understand is that freedom comes at a cost; the freedom to do something will also include the freedom to do that something foolishly. So, some women will dress decently in the West, while some will decide to dress half naked. You can't force a woman to dress sensibly. The good thing about the west is that with edication, most women dress sensibly (especially to the office). Take Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton or any female bureaucrat; they all dress well in female suits or dresses. Yes, the entertainment sector is different. Many celebrities (but not all) in hollywood, especially musicians dress half n.aked. The reason is simple- se.x sells. The second reason why these celebrities dress half na.ked is rebellion- music and art is a way for the young generation to say "no" to strict morality. The overall point is that women have a choice in the west. They can wear whatever they want and the good thing is that the decent ones will dress decent and the indecent ones will dress indecent. Even if an indecent woman wears a Burkha it won't change anything- she will still be indecent. Furthermore, even western non-muslim women criticize indecent dressing; http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013/oct/08/miley-cyrus-what-women-her-age-think https://topnews.us/images/imagecache/main_image/sites/default/files/Michelle-Cyrus.jpg Miley Cyrus VS Michelle Obama- se.xy vs formal; a woman's choice 2) "Western women are objectified and oversexualized" The simple fact is that the capitalist understands that se.x sells. We can see the se.xual content in movies, music videos, art and adverts in the west. However, the most important facts here are a) A woman in the west can not be sexualized or objectified if she doesnt want to b) Many women in the west do not choose to be sexualized and have sometimes criticised the entertainment industry for it. It all boils down to choice and demand. Two important concepts to capitalism. A capitalist will sell anything as long as there is demand for it in the market and it doesnt cause harm. Se.x sells and it sells products well. The problem is that many muslims live in denial of this fact (that se.x is natural and appealing) while being oblivious to the fact that many rich Arab men do buy products advertised with se.x in the west and they also hire female american celebrities. The simple point here is choice- some women like it, some dont. Again, if you dont believe me, show me a sexualized picture of Michelle Obama. 3) "The west fails in liberating women and islam gives women their rights" This is the most important one. I will list some points a) The top five countries for women to live are all Western http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/03/the-countries-where-women-have-the-best-lives-in-charts/273848/ b) Western women do not have to be afraid of sharing their husbands in a polygamy c) Western women are free to marry who they want from any religion d) Western women are heavily supported by the law in the case of battery and assault. In summary, the West is not perfect but muslims shouldnt go around criticising the west unfairly. They have a different system that works despite some flaws. Many western women enjoy their western culture, just as many muslim women enjoy their Islamic principles. NB; I didnt bash muslims to make my point. |
tbaba1234:It is not about my approval It is about parroting the views of someone who is ignorant. I dont know the internal problems of Oman or Rwanda. You wouldnt see me claiming stuff about those countries which I know nothing about. Also, we have seen the effects of quoting Andalusi. That thread was open season for christians and non-muslims to ridicule his artcile. A very shallow analysis of the west. You are free to quote him if you dont want to learn from your mistakes. Your choice. I hope you will participate in my upcoming threads on islam and the west ![]() |
Tbaba normally quotes Abdullah Andalusi on topics relating to sharia law and the West/Christianity. The reason for this thread is to give two solid reasons why Tbaba should stop quoting Andalusi. 1) The most important reason is that Andalusi is an ignorant person who uses his speaking ability to sound knowledgeable. He claimed that boko haram is a result of some post colonial mistrust. Every Nigerian should laugh and mock this man for that statement. He went on further to say that Boko Haram is a result of Western education being forced on Northern muslims and also, the disagreements between the north and the south is a result of jealousy of the British favouring the south because southerners are christians.......(the only sense he made on boko haram is that he said that muslims see boko aram as heretics and boko haram are exceedingly anti-western) Watch the video (skip to 1:10:48) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nau21xTcVrA 2) The second reason is even more undeniable. The articles of Andalusi that Tbaba posted here was lampooned by christians and non-muslims. For someone living in the West, Andalusi can not even write sensibly on the West/Christianity. https://www.nairaland.com/1446019/between-western-ideals-islamic-identity Tbaba is more intelligent than this. Do not go around quoting quacks |
[quote author=Mr_Anony]My friend stop calling me an artful dodger while you yourself are dodging the obvious. I didn't dodge anything I just went to the root of your worldview and dismantled it. I have shown you how the very foundation of your argument is wrong. I have shown you why there must be God. You must either agree that God exists or logically refute my arguments by showing me how God must not exist. After that, then we can move on to talking about God's creation and the explanation for disease.[/quote]Normal people dont prove negatives ![]() |

Deep Sight: Can you please SHAT AP, overall?https://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/120/955/butthurt.jpg |
buzugee: we look different due to mutations and adaptations and incestry and curses. yes we are all from adam and eve.How does that make sense? We are not from Adam and Eve. The first people were from Africa and not the middle east. Adam and Eve is a myth. Thank God that christians are now admitting it |
CLIQBOY: best answer so far..loginboy talk nahSee this cheerleader. Did you notice that LagosShia did not put pictures of burkhas? Are turbans part of Nigerian culture? |
Pastor Kun: And could any evolutionists on this platform give us a plausible reason why the crododile has not evolved in over two hundred million years or the dragon fly in over 400 million years cause going by the evolution myth one might be forced to concluded they have reached the pinnacle of evolution thereby by making them ultimate species which they clearly are not.So many fails in one comment. 1) Evolution is continuous 2) Crocodiles evolved from other archosaurs. 3) Dragonfiles evolved from bigger insects 4) There is no ultimate species The fact that there are many species of dragon flies and crocdiles suited to their environment is already working against your point |
Deep Sight: There can be no concept of imperfection without a concept of perfection, son!You fail on two philosophical grounds 1) Perfection itself doesnt exist. It is like saying ghosts exist because the opposite of ghosts is an alive human being. Wrong 2) Perfection is a subjective construct. Therefore, perfection and imperfection can exist simultaneously as a descripio of something. -a perfect circle is also an imperfect (incomplete) cylinder |
Deep Sight: There can be no concept of imperfection without a concept of perfection, son!And tell me what is the perfect standard for the universe, since we are imperfect. Since there are exploding stars and the earth is mostly water. |
[quote author=Mr_Anony]Let's do it properly shall we? If the design of the universe is imperfect, then there must be a perfectly designed universe from which it deviates. If this perfect order/design exists, then there must be a perfect designer, God. If the perfect designer does not exist, then there is no possibility of a perfect design. If there is no perfect design, then there cannot be an imperfect design or any design at all, Total Chaos and Disorder. So which is it God or Absolute Chaos?[/quote]Huh? imperfection does not always imply that there is a perfect standard. Use your brain. Imperfection could mean that there is a flaw. Correcting the flaw would not still make that thing perfect. Why does bacteria exist? Lets kill bacteria and not more sickeness from bacteria. In doing that, youwould harm other animals that benefit from the bacteria. |
ijawkid: Ok here I am with my scriptures.....Furthermore, the is no "above" the earth. North pole and south pole have different "aboves" |
ijawkid: Ok here I am with my scriptures.....Ode...a circle is flat. |
Deep Sight: If perfection does not exist, there would be no basis for complaining about imperfection - it would be the only reality. The very fact that we recognize imperfection and complain about it already evinces recognition of perfection.If perfection does not exist, ten tere is no perfect designer, no God. |
ijawkid: Do u see oxygen??Stop these fairytales! |
[quote author=Mr_Anony]Classic escapism[/quote]Anony, you're a joke. Is that all you can say? |
ijawkid: Now I can understand why u became an atheist....u barely understand scriptures....Prove that the tree is literal. How do you know what is literal and not? Is God metaphorical? |
afam4eva: This is the best answer so far.Seconded |
ijawkid: The early christians who read d hebrew scriptures knew d earth was round and hanging on nothing.....See this liar....the bible had a flat earth mentality! Daniel 4:7-8, "I saw a tree of great height at the center of the world. It was large and strong, with its top touching the heavens, and it could be seen from the ends of the earth." This was allegedly an inspired dream, yet it conveys a flat-earth concept, because no matter how tall a tree would be, people on the other side of a spherical earth could not see it. Matthew 4:8, "The devil took him (Jesus) to a very high mountain and displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence...." The only plausible reason for the "very high mountain" was that the altitude would make it possible to see to the ends of the earth. Only on a flat earth would this be remotely possible, so the New Testament writers were as ignorant as the Old. In Genesis 11:4, the people wanted to build a tower up to heaven. If you look at the graphics above, you can see their concept of heavenly bodies under the dome, not all that far away. Presumably, the Lord was afraid they would be able to accomplish their plan, so he caused them to speak various languages. This, of course, is not the reason people speak different languages, but nothing is too fantastic for the ignorant to believe |
plaetton: Hey Logigbwoy,Thank you. ![]() |
Saint paris: Most apologists usually blame authors (who brought untold stories of Islam on the discussion) by saying: (a) Lack of knowledge/ignorance, (b) Misinterpretation or mistranslation of scriptures or by (c) Some lame excuses, such as thelmao |
ijawkid: ..Lol..No probs |
ijawkid: Even if I show u u go gree??The breath of life could be anything...eg oxygen......keep peddling nonsense |
A nurse is not paid to preach. This is how Nigerians embarrass us abroad |
Pastor Kun: And since when did the evolution myth become a scientific fact? How much more an indisputable oneYou are ignorant to what a theory is -gravity remains a theory -Germ theory |
![]() logicboy: 5) Forcing people to go to church; My [size=18pt]aunt[/size] used to go crazy when we did not go to church. We had to go to church even if we were sick. Furthermore, I also went to a christian university in Nigeria where students must go to church 4 times a week (Sunday,Monday, Wednesday and Thursday). Too much of anything is bad. Forcing someone to do something just makes the person hate the thing even more and more. It makes you wonder whether going to church is more important than God himself.https://www.nairaland.com/913787/5-things-turn-christians-into#10588327 Lol as you can see, my Aunt was the religious one |
Enigma: Interestingly, I actually remember you comparing your own parents to Boko Haram for being Christians/religious/theists.This actually shows that I'm consistent ![]() Fortunately, I was talking about my family and not just my parents when I said "religious". I lived with my uncle and aunt for a long time. Those were the people that promised fire and brimstone actually! |
Enigma: ^^^ Your cup will become full one day, and then . . . .Is that a threat? Boko Haram alert!!! |

Scientists who are much more intelligent than your self are sensible enough to term it a theory cos it remains yet to be proven yet you are arrogantly expressing your ignorance on a public forum. Smh
