A degree of respect must be afforded. If you can’t manage that, then it’s better to leave the heated discussion. Rudeness should never be excused, especially by snot nosed punks like us who think we know better but have barely lived life.
Haram, at least to us desi’s, also connotes bad etiquette and not just “strictly forbidden” things.
Or how about us Pakis buyin’ all the Indian stuff… ? Ain’t we supporting their fight against the Kashmiris? Helpin’ pay the Indian pension funds? The stippends to the widows of those killed by the Kashmiris and or skirmishes on the border with the Pakistanis?
I wonder which is a bigger haram? Supporting the Indians or the Israelis? Talking within context…
Leave others to believe and think what they wanna. If it bothers you so much, don't associate with those that go around labeling everything as haram. Simple.
I think women should be banned from this forum. Islam teaches us to be modest and humble. Free mixing between the sexes is strictly forbidden. This forum is nothing more than a facade whereby men and women of questionable characters hide behind their monikers and propagate their filthy views. Even a handful of married women are partaking in these shameless activities. Unbeknownst to the husbands, these married women are engaging in behaviors running the entire gamut of subtle flirtatious behavior to outright acts of immodesty. i call upon the mods to immediately take draconian actions to control these wanton practices.
