Moderate Muslim

[BarbieCue]

@stoppit

Yes, I am ‘kool’ now that I understand that you think you personally can definite who is/is not a muslim. Life is very black and white isn’t it?

**Personally, I believe that judegement is left to Allah swt alone. **All we can do is try our best to do what we think is right and pray that we are on the correct path. I could only presume to say that people may be misguided or otherwise.

You don’t understand me, stoppit. Sorry, you don’t. And I quit trying.

And I agree with the bold bit, I have already mentioned that many times, but perhaps u missed that too.

G’nite.

@ CP: Dude, plz don’t be associating hazrat Mohammad saw’s battles with these sickos…

I could say a lot about it but it would be off-topic.

@ Ravage: Let’s keep it cool here. Thanks.

Exactly!

honestly BBC u seem like a wonderful cheerful person ur young and ur still learning like we all still r. but seems to me the purpose of this thread was to prove how wonderful and religious u r and how the rest of us will burn in hell becoz we don’t follow the 5 pillars of Islam.

Or mayb it wasn’t ur intention and u didn’t mean it to come out the way it did. At the end of the day no one has the right to judge anyone on what kind of a Muslim they r or how many times they pray namaz a day or what their understanding on Islam is its between them and their God. end of!

Re: Moderate Muslim

We really need a ‘pat-on-the-back-you-wear-the-hijab’ smilie here on GS. Would rid pointless, ignorant congestion.

^ yeah thats just the kind of talk that brings about the term in the first place.

it is an identity defined in opposition to something. people wouldnt call themselves ‘moderate’ if there werent forced to, for good reasons and bad, make the distinction between themselves and nutjobs who cloak their ****ed up neuroses in religious lingo.

i appreciate the desire to reclaim the Muslim name from the militant nutjobs, and dont think ‘moderate’ muslim is a particularly meaningful term in isolation. maybe if ‘moderate’ Muslims were disciplined they’d call themselves something that sounds less defensive, but thats not gonna happen. one thing is for sure though, the impulse to dissociate from nutjobs on religious grounds is a good one.

yup it’s a good one and I follow that rule too. Nutjobs don’t need to hold weapons to cause destruction you know..

WHATTTTTTTTTTT Tobah!!!

CEEEE…come on!!! You know I’m not like that!! I lauuu uuu

No that was definitely not the intention.!!! I repeat the 3rd time, I am going to hell, and I know it!! If anyone else is getting the same feelings about what the intention of this thread might have been, plz get it all outta ur heads… If I was out to prove something, this thread would have been craazyyyy by now!

Why do I keep getting the “none of ur business” line? I ask because I want to learn ppl and its pretty obvious by this thread. I could swear I used to think every muslim (other than the terrorists) thinks exactly like me about the basics of Islam. But when I joined GS, I was totally proven wrong… I was quite shocked at first, when muslim women here gave out to me for wearing a hijab but then I slowly became used to differences in muslim people’s opinions about certain things… Since I don’t have any muslim friends or colleagues here, I don’t have these discussions with anyone. Hence, my ignorance, if u may.

Joining a global website and listening to what people from all over the world have to say, was really a wake-up call that not every muslim agrees with a few things that I might strongly believe in. And I learned to accept and respect that. So any questions I ask are legit and are not targeted at anyone, and are not designed to prove anything… so lets all take a deep breath.

glad we’re on the same page there, and you see the need to disassociate from nutjobs, with or without weapons, who use religious garb for ulterior motives. infact those who dont hold weapons often cause the most damage, by being this vocal minority that shills for those who do hold weapons, calls them noble warriors and whatnot.

You mean for the people who don’t open up threads for that purpose (to recieve the smilie) alone.

There would be no need for that Wicketkeeper.

Or plz don’t contribute to pointless congestion, since that post of urs was also very ignorant, pointless and out of the blue.

BBC, relax. There’s just a misunderstanding, that’s all. The internet is no face-to-face conversation, so use of words is very important… (trust me I’ve been labeled a terrorist on GS )

Silly Milly, I was just sayin’ there’s two sides, wasn’t directed at you or anyone in particular.

haha , you had to edit and add that in there didn’t you? anyways I wasn’t speaking about the vocal minority.

[BarbieCue]

Ravage and CP, plz stick to the topic. If there’s any personal attacking coming up, I’m gonna have to call the mods.

Well I just added the third side.

[ravage]

BBC you’re such a thread nazi. i am feeling discriminated against you’ve warned me twice already.

CP dont be a tease. why these leading questions?

In the words of Sweet.i.f…sit down luv!

You are very hung up about the whole ’ I opened a thread, I own it’

I can contribute in any which way I chose, as can others. Remember we have already discussed the difference between an ‘opinion’ and a ‘fact’.
