Ajibam:

calm down Bro....

I was suprise too...let just wait till she comes,cause Ave found nothing punishable for one year after investigating... let just wait..

Mr Critique: First of, I wish i would talk to this man face to face, i would use a public address system and scream this words in his ears "wake up man there are things you can fight". For starters, you seem to speak like one who is totally free from Western influence, but i bet, if I venture into your life thoroughly, i would find traces of the same disease you're trying to cure. How can you fight change? Oh! i reckon you would only accept change in pop culture only if it has Islamic carriage. Besides, can you pls point to one system in history that has span over 5 centuries and survived the wind of change? If you lambast the domination of English language (WEST), isn't that as a result of the liberalization in it culture and social life style? Can't you also liberalize your own culture and thus propagate your religion? If you remain strict and heavy handed things are just gonna stagnate and die out naturally from your belief, due to time.

Finally, if by 'West' you mean America and other nations founded upon Christian principles. The question thus is: IS THE ORIGIN OF YOUR RELIGION WESTERN( assuming you are African)? why then do you subscribe to one the products of WESTERNIZATION? Why not subscribe to one the gods of your forefathers and be truly 'West' free. If your criticize the West for everything bad and you still subscribe to an "imported" religion then you are still part of the disease. Peace

P.S: what stunt were you trying to pull quoting the gospel of Mark?

Ray McBlue:

A classic example of Muslim tolerance. Give thanks!

maclatunji:

Your jumping at the mention of your name.

maclatunji:

And it is not obvious to you that Muslims with understanding of Islam aren't moved or impressed by the competition?

SimplySEA: IF U READ D POST I QUOTED, U'D NOTICE D POSTER WAS REFERIN TO MUSLIM WOMEN PERFORMIN IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT.. TRUTH BE TOLD,THESE PEOPLE DESIRE THIS FREEDOM AND WUD RELISH A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE.
COS OF THEIR RESTRICTIONS,THEY CREATED AN ISLAMIC PROTOTYPE! ISN'T THIS OBVIOUS?

maclatunji:

It proves you are not

maclatunji:

Read "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe.

tbaba1234:

, Every culture has a definition of 'human rights'. To suggest that the western principles are universal is what is disingenuous not this article.

AbdH:

That's all

maclatunji:

And he exposes his bigotry. So supporting sharia law is something you want to make "uncool".

Sharia is a guide for all Muslims and one of the sources of the Nigerian constitution. It is something we are proud of.

tbaba1234: I think the idea in the article is simple.

It is not about demonizing any ideology, it simply asserts that western principles are currently held as 'universal and neutral' even though in reality, they sometimes conflict with many of the original cultures of people including the Islamic world view. The results of colonialism is that we have imbibed many of these worldviews which in reality conflict with our original world view.

For instance, A muslim believes that all sovereignty belongs to God but the term democracy from demo kratos gives ultimate sovereignty to the people. Hence when muslim coin the term 'Islamic Democracy', it is contradictory based simply on the meaning of the words.

Also, Islam gives gender roles to both men and women but feminism is a concept that negates all gender roles and assert absolute equality to men and women something that is alien to many world cultures. It does not just mean 'rights for women'. So coining a term 'Islamic feminism' is contradictory based on the actual meanings of the words.

maclatunji: ^That would make you a confused individual. #LOL

Don't mind the hyperactive troll.

AbdH:

What are people saying about the west that makes it seem unfair?


Granted criticizing the west doesn't make you a good Muslim, what does supporting their ideas which are detrimental to that of Islam make you?

Sissie:

That's it, in Islam there's no debating it.
So if the other half of the government who also use human right as an excuse to support gay marriage, it already proves their's difference in their own version of human rights and ours. That's just one of the numerous examples, another is indecent dressing, of what is against Islam, their are also other examples that Islam isn't against.

In Islam our rights have been decreed, the limits are stated clearly.

AbdH:

Human right in the west = right to be homosexual,
While in Islam, your right is determined by what Allah has decreed to be halal or haram.

tbaba1234:

Of course, if these Muslims were truly sincere in their use of these terms, 'as long as they give them an 'acceptable' meaning', then lets see if they would also be happy to use the following terms, along with their new 'meanings' [i.e. excuses]:

Islamic Polytheism - 'it just means' belief in a God, with many names

'Islamic' Fascism - 'it just means' strength through unity'

'Islamic' Communism - 'It just means' respecting community values

'Islamic' Atheism - 'It just means' negating false idols, not negating the One transcendent God

'Islamic' Idolatry - 'It just means' honouring Muslim heroes from the present and past, as role models and celebrity 'idols', but not in the literal sense

'Islamic' Racism - 'It just means' that we honour the the race of Adam (as)

'Islamic' Satanism - 'It just means' that we believe in a concept of the Devil, and guard against his works'

'Islamic' Trinitarianism - 'Is just means' that we believe in three aspects of God, the Tawheed al Rububiyah, Tawheed Uluhiyyah and Asma' wa siffat.

Of course, all these new terms are absurd, and we'd laugh at anyone who'd be so foolish as to use them, despite attributing to them seemingly benign explanations. But this are no different then using 'Islamic Feminism', 'Islamic Secularism', 'Islamic Democracy' and 'Islamic Humanism' - which are all equally absurd for a Muslim to use, and equally derisory.

As Muslims, we must reject the false intellectual currency we are told to use. We should not use borrowed words which have a widely understood, and unIslamic meaning, but rather we should use words which are supplied to us from Islam itself, or at the very least (for non-Arabic speakers) the best translations of linguistic equivalents in foreign languages e.g. Deen = 'worldview/Ideology', Aqeedah = 'Creed'.

tbaba1234:
Building roads, taps, schools etc, are not neutral acts, or non-religious acts, but are based upon the motivation of the ideology that demands these things to be built. If a government built a road because it believed it is God's Will, then THAT IS NOT A SECULAR ACTION.




Besides, no government builds a road just because it is natural to do so. For thousands and thousands of years, most governments never built roads [except being states like the Romans, or the Islamic Caliphate]. A government would build a road either because they possess a worldview (e.g. like Communism, Liberalism, or Islam) that demands the state should ensure people's safety and efficiency of travel that would maximise some value the ideology reveres. Although a government may build a road, because everyone else is doing it [i.e. 'its the modern thing to do'], or to facilitate its own Army to travel quickly [i.e. as the romans did]. The simple response is to tell these Muslims that insist upon using the word, 'ok - but then EQUALLY you should be also happy to call for, and use the phrase, 'Religious government', because according to you, Religious government would surely call for the same things e.g. roads, taps, schools, bridges etc wouldn't it? Again, Only the truly innocent of mind, and sincere of heart would agree with you.

tbaba1234: The biggest lie the West ever created, was convincing the world that its values were universal and 'neutral'. But unbeknownst to most people, its values are based upon its own particular worldview, which is quite distinct and antithetical to most of the world's (original) belief/law systems. Thus like how the U.S. promotes the dollar, the West printed out its intellectual currency, and asked everyone to use it as a universal standard for moral and intellectual transactions. But like how the dollar is linked to US economy, so Western values are linked to their beliefs and worldview. And if ones fails, so does the other.

It is for this reason that, the 'values' of (the Western conception of) 'Human Right's', 'Freedom', 'Democracy', 'Democratic legitimacy' [unless you vote for an Islamic party], and (the Western concept of) 'Equality' - are so ubiquitous in global usage. Now anywhere you travel, you can intone these 'sacred' and 'holy' words, and instantly gain some moral currency.
