Re: Young Muslim leader sips champagne then is arrested for cocaine
Are you pretending there isn't a value statement biased towards those who don't fit a traditionalist mold? Were you not saying that to contradistinguish Muslim traditionalists from Westerners?

She is one of 14 members of the Muslim Community Reference Group and represents a segment of the Australian Muslims population.
Re: Young Muslim leader sips champagne then is arrested for cocaine
its a shame that bad muslims represent the Muslim community, and even worse is that they are portrayed as breaking out of the shackles of oppression...arrested for cocaine huh...good...now they will say Islam made her do cocaine but enlightenmet made her drink.
Re: Young Muslim leader sips champagne then is arrested for cocaine
West = evil values, is that the lesson showkot? Get off your holier than thou horse. Using drugs is not a western value and Muslims have taken part in drug use and smuggling without any western influence for many of years.
But....Equality between sex's and the belief that a woman has the right to be seen and heard as she please is a western value, so please continue to place blame on the west for that idea. Inadequate men who find that threatening get no sympathy from me.
I think u r getting confused, muslims r upset because she is representing the muslim community, and openly doing stuff that contradicts Islam, thats y we r upset, and no we r not upset because she is a woman. I think you can understand that right. Muslims should be represented by proper muslims, not the "progressives" who could care less about religion.

the OP takes what you feel she is doing wrong and calls them 'western values', that's the issue I had.
Secondly you have stated that "Muslims should be represented by proper muslims", who is choosing what is and what is not a proper Muslim?
We know interpretations of Islamic teachings vary widely.

common senses mixed with public opinion. In this matter, public's opinion is clear what they want. I am not advocating something as elaborate as ballots and elections because then you could end up with someone like Bush in an important or PR visible position. nomesayn. :D
Re: Young Muslim leader sips champagne then is arrested for cocaine
^ Maybe the Saudi's should pick those who represent Islam?
Or Pakistanis...seeing how the Pakistani public love Bin Laden
Re: Young Muslim leader sips champagne then is arrested for cocaine

Now now, don't get carried away. So far the only region that has seen a mullahcratic govt is NWFP and that's because of the fear of an occupying force in Afgi.

Proper meaning things that are not debated. Like for example drinking, a person who follows the five pillars, a person who doesn't do haraam things.
