I am not trying to tell people about my religion. I am simply defending it as someone above had clearly made fun of Islam's religious practices. I could care less about American Art/Music. I just don't care. I'm not trying to stop it. I believe in freedom. I choose not to take part in it. I choose what I do with my life. But why are you people making fun of it? I haven't tried and don't think I have offended anyone here with my religious beliefs.
By the way not all Muslims submit to Saudi's laws. As I said before, you can NEVER have a good life in a Muslim country. I believe in freedom, free speech, everyone should be free to do whatever they want (unless it is unlawful/unjust). I do not believe in forcing women to cover their heads. I do not believe in forcing people to avoid pork and alcohol. Saudi Arabia is crazy! Very few would live there if it wasn't Islam's capital. However, Muslim countries aren't the only unfair ones. What about France? Forcing people to UNcover their heads. Exactly. Now can this thread please go back to a normal news thread. The mods aren't doing anything at all.
P.S. I can tell you are a very knowledgeable and wise person. Good for you!
I'm not sure what you expect the mods to do? There is nothing heavy hitting within this post, Anyway by saying things like
The mods aren't doing anything at all.
just makes it worse.
Imagine a country that you lived in and, every time you said something that offended somebody they sew you mouth closed, is that somewhere you would want to live ?
you are essentially opposing and trying to block our freedom of expression and speech by playing the victim and calling the race card.
My point is with actions and words like that you are paving the way forward for a society free from free speech. It's Like killing free speech with free speech, total double standards, Is that really what you want to achieve ?
Things like this and the G.W.B vid you posted, IMHO are emotional triggers that you should try to have more control over. You don't want them Stones to get bigger now do you?
You seem like a sound guy albiet still young, you have plenty of time to develop yourself knowledge is power. I totally respect your path, as would most others who might make your acquaintance, don't lose that respect by showing your emotion
At one time I was considering converting to Islam, there are many great practises that Muslims incorporate into their religion, you posted a video here about one being connected to the earth which I enjoyed btw and do believe in, however you could have posted a video with the same subject matter but from a non Muslim angle and the result is the same, as it can benefit all humans. Did you know that Buddhists also pray like that, they also prey 5 times a day in a very similar fashion if not exact as salat.
I also personally prefer to eat Halal meat for reasons I wont go into here but I'm sure you understand why.
Anyway making fun of someones beliefs is wrong and trust me I know it hurts. The path you have chosen is deep rooted within your heart and yes it might hurt when people poke fun at it, but you don't have to react, they are not poking fun at you personally.
As you couldn't care less about American Art/Music, why do you care when those industries express their oppose to your belief?
An Artist cannot force you to like their painting.
And you don't have to prove nothing to no one except your god.
It's your path, you walk it, and walk it alone and proudly without malice. Let them throw stones if they wish but don't you help them turn those stones to rocks.
And G.W.Bush is enough to make people want to throw boulders at you lol (just kidding bro)
Haterz gonna Hate innit
Anyway Peace bro my bed time is long over due lol
