I see individuals here seeking closure of threads, why?
If anyone does not want to participate in any thread, fine, one should just ignore it.
Threads that generate no interest cannot continue and those that continue show clearly that they are generating interest, so why seek their closure or even close them just because an individual so demands?
The forum that is not open enough is not worth participation in and Islam cannot be defended just because muslims do not allow freedom to nonmuslims to be critical of islam on their forums or media.
It is time such muslims realised this fact for themselves and stopped making silly demands of the forum moderators. In fact it is binding upon the rest of participants to put such people in their place. If they do not then these like people will keep on pulling this kind of lever to get what they want at the expense of what the rest of us need or want.
This is the main reason muslim condemnation of terrorists from amongst themselves is looked upon as mere lip service. Let the community show courage and common sense in the face of such opposition. Unless moderates from among muslims show backbone, mosques will remain under suspecion as terrorist training camps. If cyber space is hijacked by such muslims then what guaranty is there that modrsate muslims are not hostage to their own making?
It is very stupid of anyone if one does not realise that giving in to such sort of people is a very bad sign.
If we must discuss religion let us discuss it thoroughly, honestly and in a friendly way to know the truth about it. Close this thread or delete that post is not the way to lay fears and concerns of each other.
There are thousands of websites both for and against religion, just because muslims do not participate in the debate makes no much difference other than the fact that they are storing the problems for later and perhaps at a much bigger scale.
We cannot improve human right in pakistan unless we tackles such issues as are purely and utterly due to islam. Let the critics of islam bring forth the issues they have with islam and muslims and let the defenders of islam defend it openly and honestly. Only and only this way we may be able to reach a compromising position. It is better reaching the compromise through talking with each other regardless how harsh it may be than creating the situation for fighting by cutting out all other view points from within our community.
Even if only one person in pakistan is a nonmuslims, that very person has the right to demand to be accepted as an equal citizen along with all the rest. This very person has the right to be head of the state or the head of the government. If muslims discriminate against nonmuslims on religious grounds anywhere where they have the control over state then what right have they to complain against anyone else elsewhere when discriminated against?
One cannot be in one’s right mind if one justifies discrimination in the name of religion oneself yet demands not to be treated the very same way by others. Compromise is about give and take and that means muslims accepting nonmuslims’ demands and vice versa.
