Re: British Soldier Beheaded in London in busy street
lol.. void of wisdom!!! I go to someones house and then insist on doing things as I see fit and ignoring their customs? Its only void of wisdom for someone who arrogantly believes his beliefs and customs trump all others and everyone else should emulate him… And then you wonder why Europeans suddenly dont like Muslims!
Would you prefer to be the wolf who devours all the sheep? Muslims in general, aren’t exactly pillars of virtue either. And there are many people in Britain who are just as virtues and are by no means Islamic, nor do they wear any such credentials to identify themselves as such like a beard or a burqa.
If anything, its Muslims who should learn from the Westerners. Those calling for “sharia,” whatever the heck that means, fail to see the virtues of a society that while not Muslim, are still far more Islamic then any of the countries they or their parents left. England in particular, the generosity afforded to her citizens through the Welfare system is to be envied.
Does flag bearer mean you shut yourself out of society in exclusive Muslim areas, hide behind burqas and refuse any interaction with the wider society because you dont feel they live up to your standards?
What constitutes being a flag bearer in my definition includes adapting and assimilating those aspects of the British and Western society which do not directly contradict our religious beliefs, in order to better integrate into our chosen society, as a sign of respect for our hosts and their traditions. Your attire for example, is something that you can change. Does Islam not ask you to respect the customs of your hosts? must you look like 7th century bedoin to be considered a flag bearer of Islam?
Adapting to and respecting the customs of the society you live in speaks far more loudly of Islams tolerance and respect for others then a 2 foot long beard and head to toe Burqa.
Please read and understand my post Med911 … There are wolves, sheep, wolves in sheep’s clothing and indeed the are shepherds … Our task is to be the shepherds using the best characters to guide others … Not blend in to their customs and ways …
