Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Thanks to a lack of leadership in the muslim world, no body has condemned these demands.
Muslim world needs leaders who'd stand up for what's right and also have access to the mainstream american media.
Maybe some guppies can try calling fox/cnn and making it on air to condemn these idiots and their actions.
Hope springs eternal.

oh yes.. we should definitely believe Adam Pearlman :hehe:

Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Al-Qaeda is a loser but in the sub-continent there were no forced converstions. People converted cuz they wanted higher posts in the mughal government or they converted because of some sufi saint's advice.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
whats your point?
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
The bit about converting to Islam was the idea of the Journalists themselves to land their release.
As for Al-Qeda calling for Europe to convert...it's simply their way of doing exactly what the West is doing to Muslims with regard to demands to 'reform' and what not (i.e. westernize). What is it they say about like minds?
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Mixing up issues here, just like the journalist who wrote that article? I thought you would've be able to sift thru lies and politics.
What AlQaeda is doing, they are only trying to gain more 'popularity' as they have been under criticism by larger populations for being 'destructive', killing civilians etc, now they are adding this 'invite to Islam' slogan to calm down the criticism etc. Some people really can't look beyond some boundaries.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Nah Captain, I don't think so.....
If my neighbor asks me to come to his Mosque, that is an invitation to Islam. When someone who has blown up Embassies, Buses, Trains, Planes, Night Clubs, and about a thousand Shia a month "Asks" you to join Islam, it is a not so thinly veiled threat.
Everyday you can see the a similar religious superiority here on Gupshup. This presumed superiority plays itself out in many ways. Al Qaedda is simply quilty of saying, "Islam is a superior way, so why do a Billion Muslims not have the world power they deserve?" And they are willing to resort to violence to prove this point.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Forced conversion? Oh god.. thats the lamest thing I have ever heard... Go to hell Taliban!
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Although I'd like to laugh at those pictures, Jesus has recently healed me from depression, and I must be good to him for it. He said to love your enemies. I feel bad for them, because they are enveloped in hate, and most of them never knew the true meaning of love. :(

You know OG, superiority is a misunderstood concept under this particular case. When you are superior you want to maintain that superiority not share it or call others to it otherwise you will loose you edge.
Now as for forced conversion, truly despicable. Invitation to Islam, nothing wrong with it.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
If you believe this OG, then I am sure there's a bridge that will interest you...I can get it for you cheap...
However, forced conversion to democracy is something I fear more...
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
^ Luckily there is no need for you to be forced since you already enjoy the fruits and freedoms of a democratic country. This country doesn't allow the draconian sharia laws that some support. Lucky you.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Ask an Iraqi the same question…Lucky them…
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
How thoughtful of you to blame the whole religion based on the actions of a few nutcases who to begin with arent even following the religion. Thanks.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
I'm sure they would be much happier living under a brutal dictator (that other Muslims didn't seem to have a problem with for 20 years). Ask an Iraqi shia.
But it's ok. Keep enjoying everything this evil country has to offer. The benefits of living under this system are outta sight, I'm sure you'll agree. I'm sure you won't be judged by the hypocrisy. Now or when it really matters.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Western democracy is not the only form of democracy as some of you don't understand.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
^ The system he lives off of and thrives under is a western democracy. But please do share the non-western form.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
islam seeks to be hijacked by thse stupid al-queda and some radicals mullahs.
I guess muslim world needs a leader who can oppose the action by these stupid mullahs and terrorists and he should have mass support which i really doubt he will get.
Re: Forced Conversion to Islam
Why can’t there be a benevolent muslim leader that can garner mass support? Are they too many factions? Does the lack of a hierarchy within Islam prevent a respectable leader that masses can support?
