Amir khan Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Where do you chaps get your info about honour killings from? The right to kill in islam is strictly in battle, As in on a battlefield. these extremists have taken it a step further and started killing innocent people. This is AGAINST islam, It would be different if both parties were on a battlefield intending to go to war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 This arranged marriage business of not letting daughters have a say in who they marry is purley an ASIAN culture and not islam. Thats a very valid point and one which many of us struggle to diferentiate between. There is a very heavy Asian culture where I live, I suppose they might not necessarily be muslim. They generally go hand in hand though dont they? This is AGAINST islam, Against your interpretation of Islam you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 In the suits you get a supply of oxygen, that allows you to breath in space. Astronauts are amazing individuals not only for their brains, and being superfit, but their spirit of adventure and willing to face life threatening situations. I envy them, becuase I know I am not clever, fit enough, and passionate enough about space travel to make the grade. In Sri-Lanka where, my parents are from, they still have arranged marriages, and on balance I think its a good idea. In my search for a partner, people have recommended I go this asian only website. I am yet to go on it but will take a look at some of the women there and may sign up, but it feels a little wierd. Imagine a website for white only dating. Wierd. But of course the asian one is totally acceptable, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Against your interpretation of Islam you mean. No room for mis-interpretation I am afraid....it is very clear. Some people are clearly brain-washed individuals and it is unfortunate that they are prepared to not just take their but also the lives of innocent people. very sad. Regarding me visiting bradford to meet your brethren....the Quran is there for them to read - if they can read. Islam is the best way of life with the worst followers.....

Forced marriages are the ones that I am not in favour of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I am the product of an arranged marriage, becuase a friend of my dad set him up with my mom. Forced marriaged will happen so long as there is money and marriage. But marriage is one of the most beautiful and worthwhile things in this world. Mainly cos it's a great place for love to grow and children to grow up with, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't agree with it and certainly against the teachings of Islam; so any TRUE muslim should not be entertaining this practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 What is it with this topic?? Islam da da da. I am getting sooooo bored of the whole deal. There's a bunch of different people on this planet with differing opinions and beliefs, yeesh get the hell over it and get on with your own life. Someone wants to stay celibate his/her whole life so what? Someone else wants to freeze his ass off on top of a mountain for 30 years to enlighten himself so what? Someone wants their cousin to marry into the right family so what? Somebody else doesn't appreciate pig products pff your loss etc etc. We all come into this world (the real one not the virtual one) kicking and screaming the same, with the same values, and the same knowledge regardless of race, or crede. About time we started to act as such. I wonder if in 20 years time someone yellow will be the latest enemy in line after the russians with their communism and the muslims with their terrorism??? Gimme a break FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme a break FFS Correct, we all come into the world the same, we bleed the same blood - we are all the same...however not all possess the same knowledge, moral values, intelligence, wisdom, etc... Some choose to be ignorant, some get confused and go down the wrong line and follow different paths. As they say, not all paths lead to Rome...

Carl_S Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I wonder if its possible to go to Rome by mistake, or do you have to deliberately look for it? And yeah its wierd how our bodily fluids and excretions are the same color, if you a christian or jew, hindu or catholic, if you drink nothing but guiness for for a week and limit your food to the odd kebab every two days, then the writing is on the wall.

Some don't have as much choice as others as they are not graced with as much wit, knowledge, or values, etc as others. That also is not segregated to race or creed. Thing thats boring me right now is the fact that any thread title with the word muslim in it is getting debated to death, almost on a weekly basis.

More like daily basis lol!. Well the media have made muslims the centre of attention and most the countries getting bombed etc, are ermm.....muslim. We as a nation love to get hold off what ever is in the spot light, weather it is tax, petrol, war, muslims, paedo's, credit crunch etc and the hot topic seems to be muslims.

I mean if we worried about what was happening in our neighbourhoods and areas or just the u.k and not hold hands with the u.s and go around trying to sort all the worlds problems out and end up creating even more, then yes it would be a much better place IMHO(at least where you live). I mean all this terrorism really ecalated after bombing Iraq and Afghanistan both failed missions in my opinion. In Iraq it was weapons of mass destruction (erm where are they?)and Afghanistan was for Bin Laden (still on the loose), none of them have actually been succesfull.
