Seminole, lets put the righteous posts aside. Listen my friend, its not because of "sexism" or the status of women in society. It has nothing to do with it. Let me ask you this...Why cannot a woman do a job of a pope? Lets start there and we will move on to other sexist topics...such as US has never elected a woman as a Vice president or President. You think that shows that public in US is sexist and considers women to be inferior (intellectually) to men?
K-Dog, absolutely bro. US never hjad a woman president…but there is no edict that says women CANNOT be president. There i sno rational equivalence between the two positions.
Women can lead prayers ofcourse they can. I always hear that women aren’t allowed in Islam because they might menstruate and that is considered napak. Now..think about it…for a small amount of time while they menstruate, a man can lead the prayer. And then go back to women when they are done with their menstruating and siht. Islam is supposed be a practical relgion no? BTW, do you honestly think, God gives a flying fk if a woman is menstruating and she is prayng to it.
And also, the catholic church is just as idiotic. Women should be leaders of the church. In all these traditions..which are patriarchal and are jaded by mens insecurities…there is time for a change.
Yes he does that’s why cleanliness is half of faith in Islam according to our prophet (saw) but I guess someone with urea infected brain won’t understand the importance of purification of body.
That’s rich coming from someone whos signature disrespects and insults every other religion/sect. You are one big hypocrite, whining about disrespect and insults about Islam and Muslims and yet go ahead and does the same.
There’s no rule that says a non-Muslim is prohibited frm expressing an opinion.
Seminole n others are entitled to their opinions, whether you believe them to be wrong or right. But to attack someone based on something personal, as a person’s religion/race/age/gender/etc, is wrong. You disagree with someone, give evidence to back your opinion up, don’t just bitch at them for not being Muslim or watever.
Muslims are supposed to be tolerant and peaceful. Even when faced with those who disagree them, they’re supposed to educate the person, not call them names or insult and disrespect them.
Since when calling someone a non-Muslim is considered as name-calling or insult?
Bibi you might have patience for someone ridiculing Islam especially on an issue where it has noting to do with non-Muslims, but I don’t. Sorry.
BTW you called Mirza_zahib a hypocrite. I guess that’s not an insult in your dictionary.
^ Telling someone to shut their pie hole because they are nonMuslim is an insult. And yes, Mirza Sahib is a hypocrite because of his inane remarks about other sects and religions. When it's the truth, it's not an insult.
I agree, there is no restriction about expressing an opinion and that all Muslims should adhere to the examples set to us by the Holy Prophet.

Sara, you have been here long enough, there are people who start their "opinions" based on what you have said.
You will often see some Ayra Ghera Natho khera coming up and saying that the Islamic prayer system is Fked up or what ever, I dont think this would be considered as an opinion. Rather it’s a statement, which is inciting, by someone who for one doesn’t have any knowledge about Islamic prayer system. So you can reason with them to a limit and then I think the best practice would be to ignore them totally. I agree we shouldn’t just continue on the same path.
Sara I would suggest you to shut your mouth. From what I can see you are the biggest hypocrite here. You are insulting me and are telling us that what we believe is wrong, and at the same time you are saying how we are supposed to be tolerant.
And about my signature, I respect every real religion and every real religous figure. If you are a qadyaani and were offended by my signature, you can go ahead and die like ghulam ahmed qadyaani died.
If you can’t back your feminist and secularist thoughts you shouldn’t come in and call people hypocrites, seeing as you are the biggest hypocrite of them all.
Sara, Telling someone to shut his pie hole when he has nothing to do with the topic is not an insult either. There is no point of keep arguing on this. So that’s all I am going to say about it. Have a nice day!
Mirza bhai calm down. I ignored her comments about me and didn't say much out of respect for females. It's sad that she has sympathy with someone who makes unnecessarily degrading comments about Islam. May Allah show us all the right path.
Learn to read. You think i’m a hypocrite, fine. I did not tell anyone that what they believe is wrong. I don’t go around insulting religions and religious figures. You may not feel that ahmedis/qadyaanis are muslims but to them it is a real religion. Again, read my posts. I am not a feminist nor a secularist. I just think it’s time to end the hypocrisy around here.
Mister, I rarely take part in the discussions in religion and politics. I usually ask questions and try to learn, not start debates or fights. You can assume all you want about who or wat I am. :)
