Re: Tolerating the wrong ..
Okay the above is a strange post because it reads as defensive and emotional. Yes, a non-Muslim HAS to abide by the laws of a Muslim country. Why would you even type the word “HAS” when it’s a no-brainer that anyone (Muslim or otherwise) must adhere to laws (Islamic or otherwise) of the land. So, non-Muslims cannot sell or buy alcohol in Saudi Arabia. It doesn’t matter if the royals do it and pointing out their hypocrisy doesn’t change the written laws of the country. They cannot do so. In the US, there’s no law prohibiting consumption of pork though there used to be prohibition of alcohol, however it no longer exists. So, have you come across any Muslims that are imposing upon non-Muslims to not drink or to consume only halal? Or who are preventing such consumption? Or oppressing/penalizing for it? Or who are engaging in protest marches to ban pork and alcohol? In all the years I’ve spent in the US, I haven’t come across that…not among the Muslims in my social circle. So, now that hopefully it’s understood that the laws cannot be violated, what “intolerance” are you speaking about? Cuz, a Muslim has the right to avoid attending a club…the right to deny services that he has CLEARLY defined within the parameters of his private business…the right not drive a non-Muslim bestie to a club, the right not to attend a gay wedding, the right not sign a petition for a cause that goes against our teachings. None of these are an act of imposition on anyone else, so if we’re going to be looked down/ridiculed/mocked/criticized for these acts of avoidances …I don’t think it’s us who are suffering from hypocritical intolerance.
where did i mention muslims must go to a night club?? But you cannot stop anyone from doing those things, just because you think its haram. OP didn’t mention what she meant by tolerance.
