Re: To Dance or Not To Dance…?
Freedom of speech, it’s in the constitution. People say and write negative things about Islam all the time over here and in the rest of America, you should have seen some of the vitriol over the proposed NY ground zero mosque, protesting or screaming about it is pointless.
Alhamdulliah I see new Christian converts almost every Friday at the mosque, or Christians coming to seek info about Islam, so its still growing.
Also yes, there is nothing wrong with discouraging Muslims from not following jahiliya practices, and advising them of its ills, even Christians do that with their own people, warning them about the ills of other religions.
There is a huge difference** between randomly hating on a people and demonizing a people vs pointing out the errors of their religion or customs etc..**
I’m not demonizing Hindus or hating on them, all I’m saying is that Muslims should avoid following the Jahil Hindu pagan practices, and should avoid putting these things into one of the most blessed and important aspects of a persons life, a wedding!
Don’t start something good with something haram.
