The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are facing e

Another example of extreme religious hatredness in Iraq.

An extremely sad situation.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

It is utterly disgusting!

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

horrible, thats not we are about as muslims...
sheesh

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

All the ultra religious groups doing this kind of evil acts should be kept in the padded cells forever.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

:teary1: Just wanted to add my words to this thread. I feel so disgusted by these so called Muslims that are doing everything against the very teachings of Islam. I feel sad for this minority group and pray Allah protects them from this inhumane and Un Islamic treatment. I wish more rational Muslim come forward and teach what real Islam is by there words and deeds to other non Muslims. To me this is real Jihad. Building law abiding prosperous communities, educating our children and protecting helpless and needy is the true essence of my religion Islam. May Allah gives us all Hadayat to choose the right.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

shalimar good words, people like you and I, people we know and are in our circles we need to be much more vigilant and outspoken about this.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

Aameen. :frowning:

I still can’t believe somebody would be sick enough to make a kid jump into a fire.. These people are not Muslim who persecute innocnet children in the name of Islam, they are Kaafir.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

Pathetic ... so sad and worrisome. And please do not label such people as Kaafirs. Kaafir is something different in religious terms. People like these are plain Deheriyas or simply put Tyrants irrespective of what belief they adhere to. People like these qualify for the eye for eye criteria.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

One question.....for what reason are you guys expressing sadness??

For sabains are becoming extinct or because they are being persecuted?? or for both??

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

both..
and more
..that the people who are doing it do it in the name of the religion we love, and that is further depressing and distressing

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

I read this story a few days ago.. it is pretty disgusting.. truth is that there have been many old faith-systems that have slowly vanished when Christianity and Islam spread... most of the pre-christian european faiths (paganism, germanic faiths etc) are almost gone now...christianity took over there... the religion of zorastriniasm in Iran had similar fate.. Islam took over there..

The situation in Iraq just keeps worsening every day..... The sad part is that with the way things are going I don't see peace coming to that area (forget prosperity) for another decade atleast..

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

you should be happy actually that thier religion is becoming extinct.....the link says that they are converting to islam. and allah has said that he will not accept any religion other than islam in verse 3:085...since they are accepting islam now, allah is impressed with them now.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

Do you have to be sarcastic about some elses grief also? Just as pathetic.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

I would be happy if people of any faith are converting based on free will.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

me being sarcastic or not, wont reduce or increase their worries. Just pointed out, as to what could be the reason for those muslims to persecute them.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

.No I think he not sarcastic...the pain and anger due to Islamic extremism is expressed through Sarcasm.

I know It's hard for any Muslim to digest.....there are majority of religious minorities who disappeared or shifted/migrated to somewhere else due to persecution of Islam...thanks to some of the verses in Quran and strict adherence to them by Muslims.
These Sabians are just one example...Parsis or Zoroastrians who once thrived in Iran are today just a few thousands in Gujarat and Mumbai, that too because their ancestors migrated in India and got protection.
Persecution of Sikhs by Aurangzeb...persucution of Rajputs...Kashmiri Pundits leaving Kashmir valley...how many examples are needed ?

There are some educated Muslims who understand this...but their voices remain un-heard.

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

that sabians are "people of the book".....what could happen to hindus, jains, parsis, jains etc etc where quran doesn't even consider them as humans or for that matter animals??

Re: The Sabian Mandaeans - one of the oldest religious groups in the world - are faci

so why did they not thrive and grow in India after migration?

as far as persecution of people of other religions, race or castes go, adherents of every faith have twisted their faith to justify that..does it make it right..no. but when ppl get on their high horse and start talking as if this is some sort of unique phenomenon then its just duplicity.

alieanating the educated muslims by taking an insensitive approach does not do anyone any good. here we have a couple of people who are saddened and troubled by what is hapening, but what do we get, holier than thou lectures in an extremely rude manner (not you).. was that really necessary?
