Maybe it’s time to change the name religion forum’s name to Sunni Muslim forum or better yet Fundo Sunni muslim forum. In a thread re: N.O. with the original post describing what a “CHRISTIAN” interpretation of God’s wisdom suggested, our resident “Mullah on a stick”, Armughal goes on to establish what God means. Consideing he falls in the FUNDO Sunni camp, I wonder why his interpreation of what GOD is valid but someone else’s not.
God might be a “bi-sexual”. He might be, how does one know? God to 5.5/6th of humanity has different charateristics than the Fundo Sunni Muslim sect. Does Armughal have a hotline to God? Does he represent what GOD is to christians, shias, ahmedis, baptists, hindus, atheists, agnostics, buddhists, etc etc…
The thread had nothing to do with what armughal or like minded folk think of what GOD has in store for homosexuals or decadent folks. Armughal is a sunni, the thread is about a fundo christian interpreation of God’s mandate. His opijnion as to God is just as valid as someone else’s opinion of GOd.
Many others have the same belief. Ask armughal if he believes God is all around us, inside us etc. A lot of muslims believe that...are you saying they are not muslims?
You guys should change the forum to as I suggested and open up another forum under religion where we can discuss things more spiritual in nature rather than parroting responses through circular logic.
why dont you open up more spiritual threads then pinstripe. What I do see coming from you is material that is both offtopic and knowingly inflammatory (suggesting Allah is bi sexual is both irrelevant to a thread on the flood in New Orleans and you know its likely to produce an angry response from a Muslim audience) in random threads.
No one suggested Allah is bisexual.GOD IS NOT A MUSLIM TERM. For the love of christ..man. What is wrong with you people? Allah=God only to muslims. Not ot anyone else. When you say God, I don't think of allah. get it!!! Just as when I say God you don't think of Allah. Stop being so self centered...no one gives a siht what you think of GOd and his attributes. there are 5,500,000,000 people out there each with his own interpretation of God.
unfortunately for you, those 5,500,000,000 people arent here, and this is a overwhelmingly Muslim board, that thread was about the Islamic view of things, both implicitly and explicitly, from all participants so far. the world beyond this forum may very well not care about what properties we attribute to him, but this forum is a Pakistani bulletin board. As I said in the thread in religion, if you intent to talk about God as YOU see him instead of God as we see Him, you need to mention that. The context of God in most threads in religion aside from those expressly opened for the purpose of discussing inter faith issues, is usually the Islamic view of Him.
SO why not just say that. Just say that on this board God=Allah. God doesn’t mean, Jesus, Yahveh, the all mighty, krishna etc… this way we will be left with all issues just muslim and we won’t need to discuss christian, jewish, hindu, buddhists, athiest, etc etc topics. oh how can i forget Ahmedi.
So if someone doesn’t agree with the the view of what the islamic interpretation of God is, it makes it invalid. no wonder the global situation is what it is.
And the thread was not about the islamic view of things. the original poster didn;t even mention islam. religion=islam by default only for you guys not for others
no, we wont say that. because its also part of Muslim belief that Allah is the only sort of God out there that does exist, and thereby, God is ALlah. You might say that we're only exercising our belief in Allah as God by doing so, so be it.
You're free to talk about your version of God, so long as you make it clear that you dont mean to have any of that reflect on the Muslim view of God.
The thread was about the Islamic view of things, the originator of the thread SalmanNY was pointed out that the source is Christian, and he wished to dissassociate himself from anything else the Christian forum offered. all evidences offered, including those by the originator of the thread, were Islamic.
^ So here is a little nugget for you. If it is implied to muslims that God=Allah, then the understanding among muslims should be that non-muslims think God=Other than Allah.
No one really cares for allah all that much when we write God in the posts. Shouldn't be a hard concept to understand, me thinks.
what i dont understand is, what is so hard with leaving threads alone which deal with issues from an islamic viewpoint.. why not create a companion thread where you can discuss issues from a non-muslim viewpoint.. or the problems you see in the muslim viewpoint.
It is not for a muslim to make fun of someone else's god, and they expect likewise. If you post your views in a discussion with a majority of muslim viewpoints, then ofcourse ppl will feel your comments are about Allah/Islam, rather than your understanding of god..
i could probably agree with that, but most others on this forum wouldnt really see you as talking about your version of God when you comment on God in an Islam oriented discussion.
that is why bhai mere, just create a forum where other religons and spirituality cna be discussed and you won't get confused as to whether god=allah or god=lesbian or god=jesus. Just make sure no one in the islam forum talks about islam vis-a-vis other religions.
I see you, pd and most everyone sooner or later 'defending' the topic , opinion, object, person of their choice. Everyone defends their ideal, their ideology. Everyone roots for their views and belief's.
So if a Muslim chooses to root for / defend / express gratitude / praise Allah whats insecure about it ?
Psssssh...think before thou speaketh.
Many of you folks speak on this forum just to spread rot and cause a rucus, as such thats not ethical no matter what religion / world view you prescribe to. So stop trying to defend your wrong doings.
Maniac miaN, no one is stopping anyone to excercise the praise or express gratitude or defend his/her faith. They should equally be able to stand the criticism in return. It's the self-righteous attitude that's under fire 'cause when someone makes the claim towards whole humanity based on his/her specific faith then all the people under that umbrella of humanity, kaafir, Jews, Christian, athiest whatever have the RIGHT to respond in the like.
No one is stopping you to criticize whatever you deem appropriate for idols of other faith but be prepared when someone does the same to your Prophet. Why do you come running crying to the mods or others to aide when that happens? Isn't that insecurity. Madhanee got banned because he "supposedly" disrespected Saudi Arabia's flag. There are dozens of such example of self-righteousness on this forum. And then what you get to hear is kay jee this a Pakistani/Muslim site. Spare me the rehtoric.
Ah but is not love for something half hearted if you sit and listen to someone else slamming it ?
Do you love your parents Roman ? What would you do to someone bad mouthing your mother ?
There's still no 'insecurity' in all of this. Why would i be insecure in my belief in Allah if i choose to correct someone elses slanderings on such a matter ?
