Ok so can some one please tell me the end result of this whole thread ? :)

Re: Can a girl and a guy just be friends?
Shark man, just a question, r u Muslim?
Re: Can a girl and a guy just be friends?
yes it could be possible
I had female friend for long long time, we use to talk on the phone
and we never went the wrong way, never ever
its been more than a year she got married
and after marriage she showed me her hubby and shadi pics
its we are not in touch any more because of obvious reasons
way to throw religion on everything, great contribution towards the thread as well, just like this post is :P
islam is not a religion
its a deen
and deen means way of life
and everything is part of life, and life must be spent according to the deen.
and if not u cant call ur self a muslim.
but ur not muslim any way, so u dont have the rite brag abt us muslims discussing topics in islamic way.
Shark man, just a question, r u Muslim?
Its funny you ask that. For some odd reason thats the only question people here ask to validate themselves as people. Are you muslim? What the hell does that have to do with anything?? So what you're implying is that all people with beards and women with hijabs are all perfect? And IF god forbid, someone is not a muslim, it automatically means their way of doing things and way of thinking clearly has something wrong with it???
I was raised a muslim, yes. But I refuse to count myself among the ignorant extremists who beat their women when seen without a "mehram" and don't allow them to sit behind the wheel of a car. I hate extremists who think they are "the chosen ones". I believe in moderation. I take pride in the fact that me and my wife are equals. I take pride that we are good human beings and we are good believers. We are not crazy fanatics and don't plan on ever teaching our kids the extreme ways many (not all) muslims believe they must follow.
I assure you, there will not be a single question that you can think of that I can not answer quoting the Quran and some of the most acclaimed books out there. Of course, common sense is key. So if you'd like to judge me or my ways, message me. I love to talk to people with questions.
Now excuse me while my wife shows me her new bathing suit.
Re: Can a girl and a guy just be friends?

Re: Can a girl and a guy just be friends?
good to keep female friends of the opposite sex, even if its platonic, you will meet thier girl friends.
Friends with benifits: ie some friends have cars, they give you lifts to shopping/home, some friends work at certain places and get discount you can use (20% off!) Some friends always having parties, somefriends are rich. Some friends always know where to get illegal things.

And the best friend of all is the paper bag.

Shark Man, I just saw your response, bcos during the time u were writing it, i was had to go off line bcos my bearded husband had come home and would severely beat my hijab enclosed head, had he known that i was on-line having discussions about things which did not fit his extreme ideals...
I'm sorry but i have to take what u r saying as a joke bcos it appears that u r either saying what u r saying to provoke a response, or that u have pre-conceived ideas / or feel insecure if someone mentions anything about Islam in a way that u choose not to follow.
If u really want to know why i asked if u were a Muslim, it was bcos i wished to gain some insight into how a person would disregard something like hadith, which is a sunnah of the Prophet, as inconsequential. I understand Islam to be a religion introduced and taught by our Prophet, pbuh, approx 1400 years ago. I understand a Muslim to be a person who follows the Quran and also respects, or in the very least, acknowledges the Sunnah of the Prophet, pbuh.
Bcos of what u wrote about something that occured 1400 years ago, I did think perhaps this observation is coming from the point of view of a non-Muslim, as I have not yet (until now?) come across a muslim who disregards the teachings of the Prophet as unecessary.
*"So what you're implying is that all people with beards and women with hijabs are all perfect?" *
Did I mention anything about hijab or beard? I didn't imply anything of the above, i simply asked if u were Muslim to understand your perspective.
I know that there is no such thing as a perfect Muslim, and i would never call myself a perfect Muslim, bcos a Muslim is an individual and the way they practice their religion is between the individual and Allah, and when I die, i wont b judged by u, I will be judged by Allah alone.
"And IF god forbid, someone is not a muslim, it automatically means their way of doing things and way of thinking clearly has something wrong with it??? "
I think objectively, I do not think non-muslims think wrongly. Why should I? Would u be really pleased if i said yes, i think all non-muslims think wrongly, that Einsteins theory was wrong bcos he wasnt a muslim, that my Dr has wrongly prescribed me cos he is not a muslim, that my teachers taught me all wrong bcos they were not muslims???
"I was raised a muslim, yes. But I refuse to count myself among the ignorant extremists who beat their women when seen without a "mehram" and don't allow them to sit behind the wheel of a car.

I dont think any of this "extreme" behaviour u describe is in accordance with Islam, so how can it be called extreme muslim behaviour?
I guess i certainly rattled your cage, but i dont know why. U seem very narrow minded to me. This forum is a discussion page, i love discussing things, but I do feel sorry for people who are ready to believe they r being personally attacked or judged by an innocent comment.
Now do excuse me while I hide the laptop again, i dont want another beating...
Shark Man, I just saw your response, bcos during the time u were writing it, i was had to go off line bcos my bearded husband had come home and would severely beat my hijab enclosed head, had he known that i was on-line having discussions about things which did not fit his extreme ideals... I suggest in that case, you should not be snooping around his back and 'obey' him. You don't want to upset him now, so you?
I'm sorry but i have to take what u r saying as a joke bcos it appears that u r either saying what u r saying to provoke a response, or that u have pre-conceived ideas / or feel insecure if someone mentions anything about Islam in a way that u choose not to follow. I'd like to think of it more as being irritated by people's narrow minds and how it leads them to question other people's religion.
If u really want to know why i asked if u were a Muslim, it was bcos i wished to gain some insight into how a person would disregard something like hadith, which is a sunnah of the Prophet, as inconsequential.If you wished to gain "insight"into other people's views, why would you now try and preach to me how to follow you religion? Islam is what it is to you and if it boggles your mind just how some people "disregard" your views, maybe you should come out of the rick you live under and get some cultural and global exposure -- you'll be amazed. I understand Islam to be a religion introduced and taught by our Prophet, pbuh, approx 1400 years ago. I understand a Muslim to be a person who follows the Quran and also respects, or in the very least, acknowledges the Sunnah of the Prophet, pbuh. And again with your preaching. Be considerate of other people's views. They might not be coherent with yours but that certainly doesn't mean they're wrong.
Bcos of what u wrote about something that occured 1400 years ago, 1400 years? lol.. Women are not allowed to leave their houses during the day in Saudi Arabia with out a "mehram'..neither are they allowed to drive. If a non-muslin asked you to justify that, I highly doubt you can come up with an explanation that will satisfy anyone with common sense. Unless, of course, you believe men and women are not equal --- in which case I am simply wasting my time as I write.I did think perhaps this observation is coming from the point of view of a non-Muslim, as I have not yet (until now?) come across a muslim who disregards the teachings of the Prophet as unecessary. Good job judging people. Thats the problem with extremists, they judge and pass verdicts.

Because if you really believed it, you wouldn't be appalled at my answer about religion and wold have spared me the islamic lecture.
"And IF god forbid, someone is not a muslim, it automatically means their way of doing things and way of thinking clearly has something wrong with it??? "

So now that you are all informed and learned, you can begin to appreciate that if a person has different views than you, accept them.

I dont think any of this "extreme" behaviour u describe is in accordance with Islam, so how can it be called extreme muslim behaviour? Its not. Explain the no driving policy to me first.
I guess i certainly rattled your cage, but i dont know why. U seem very narrow minded to me.Pissed off at your audacity to question another person's religion. This forum is a discussion page, i love discussing things, but I do feel sorry for people who are ready to believe they r being personally attacked or judged by an innocent comment.Now stop feeling sorry at hide your lap top...! hurry...!
Now do excuse me while I hide the laptop again, i dont want another beating...
Hide! and please, for heaven's sake, Good, muslim women don't talk to non mehrams like you're doing... not even across the computer screen...
Later.
Re: Can a girl and a guy just be friends?
I think Rupayhalway just upset Shark Man by questioning his ways and faith and Shark Man pissed Rupayhalway off with by disregarding her religious message.
I agree with both of you to a certain extent. However, this is not the place for this discussion.
Peace.
