Tableegh/Preaching

Re: Tableegh/Preaching

Some govts. don't impose these restrictions. E.g. Pakistan has never had a restriction on this. Sialkot is a living example. All the converts made to Christianity in Sialkot will probably outnumber those anywhere else in Pakistan. Jehova's witnesses roam free in our cities.

I am not confirmed but christians in Sialkot are living there since the time Mughal Emperor Babar. The English doctors treated her daughter and the king allowed them to preach in Punjab as a reward.

Re: Tableegh/Preaching

^ Right, and I'm Santy Clause.

You don't need to be Christian to be a president, but given that many voters are your old geezers who really are mostly Christian, and given that the Christian fundamentalists hold really strong low-key lobby power, and given that the average voter is so used to seeing a white Christian president that its just too much to vote differently for many, and given that minority religions do not necessarily promote political activism (ex. American muslims) within their communities...

you really aren't going to see a non-Christian president in some time.

Although, we nearly had a Jewish VP - but he lost the election. After the infamous re-count.

Yes you are right, and after the formation of Pakistan no law or restriction was imposed on christian missionaries working in Pakistan and in this case Sialkot. Ihave met missionaries here in the US who boldly told me of their knowledge of "chaddar" and "Char diwari" culture of Pakistan from their visits to Sialkot.

Similarly we used to be visited by Jehova's witnesses preachers in Karachi from their local Kingdom Hall in Gulshan Iqbal way back in the 80s. I remember arguing with them when I was 17 or 18 that I don't believe in their doctrine because I am a muslim and I have the Quran to guide me! So Paksitan never had or has a restriction on non-islamic religious workers. Is this good or bad, is a different debate.

This is proof? Next you will show picture of Nancy Peloci in a scarf in a mosque in syria and call her a muslim.

You got any thing to contribute to the actual question in the thread?

Re: Tableegh/Preaching

It would be interesting if someone tried to do Tableegh in the Vatican :) after all, it is an independant state :D

Another Proof: Christians don't Love Jews but Bush does.

Wrong. The Evangelical Churches in the USA view Jews as being God's chosen people and that Christians have a religious duty to support them. Most US Christian leaders who are not from the Anglican, Catholic, or Orthodox Churches love Jews as a result.

You live in England, right? None of the British churches share the pro-Jewish views that American Evangelical churches do, which is why it might seem to you that Christians don't love Jews.

Don't assume all Christians are the same. Christians have very different view all over the world.

Re: Tableegh/Preaching

At any rate, just taking part in Jewish religious activity at a Jewish religious site doesn’t mean anything.

Prince Charles has had iftaar at a Masjid during Ramadan, that doesn’t make him Muslim.

Re: Tableegh/Preaching

I guess no reply to my original question means there is actually nothing in Quran that makes preaching by non-muslims punishable by death.

That would be correct as far as I can understand.

Re: Tableegh/Preaching

@Ajju

I was asked by a friend once as to why non-muslims are not allowed preach in muslim countries. Atleast in Afghanistan, we have seen instances of people accused of preaching christianity kidnapped, killed or face death threat. Atleast one poster here thinks that Islamic Sharia makes punishable by death. What are the references in Quran that say this? If non-muslims can be killed for preaching in Islamic state, then it would be ok if non-muslim states start imprisoning and executing muslim for Tableegh. Without Tableegh, how will the message of Islam be able to reach non-muslims (Other than fighting war and subjugation)?

they do preach

As far as I know it is not or let me say religiously sanctioned though it could be part of a treaty (requires both parties to agree on it).
