somewhat as I was requesting on thelast word

No problem, and I just whent and read your poston the other thread,
you're right it is kinda spooky .
wouldn't go thanking a mullah for it though, I'd praise the Allmighty
. . . but then again you did pick Whisper_of_Iblis as a name, so I'm
guessing there is some irony or sracasm there somewhere
To Space Lizard:
I didn't realise you held verbal abuse and condescension to be so dear
to you, that you would take offense to it, and those who practice it
unashamedly, being condemed as evil.
Nice to know where you stand on the issue I guess
To RayofSun:
Islam is a way of life, therefore it does not*need* any political
system for it to be practised, all it needs is for believers to
be*allowed* to live their lives as they see fit.
and if one feels that the place where he is living is somehow impeding
his practice of Islam, then we are told to emigrate in the way of God
if we are able to, and if we truely cannot escape the circumstance
which is stoping us from being able to practise Islam, then God is
most surely most forgiving:
And those the angels take, while still they are wronging themselves --
the angels will say, 'In what circumstances were you?' They will say,
'We were abased in the earth.'The angels will say, 'But was not God's
earth wide, so that you might have emigrated in it?' Such men, their
refuge shall be Gehenna -- an evil homecoming! -
except the men, women, and children who, being abased, can devise
nothing and are not guided to a way;
haply them God will yet pardon, for God is All-pardoning, All-forgiving.
Whoso emigrates in the way of God will find in theearth many refuges
and plenty; whoso goes forth from his house an emigrant to God and His
Messenger, and then death overtakes him, his wage shall have fallen on
God; surely God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
(Quran 4:97-100)
Emigration in search of the path of God is akin to Jihad, and the
death of such a one is akin to the death of a Martyr
we should think about that when we complain about our conditions, I
don't like it when it is being spouted by the BNPor the EDL and their
sorts, but in truth, the Quran tells us that practice of God's faith
should be dearer to us than anything, and that doesn'tmean causing a
ruckus or trouble or fighting of any sort, it means leaving for better
pasures and trusting in God that you shall find them
Just for clarity though, that shouldn't be equatedwith those who find
themselves being bombed or forcefully driven out of their own homes,
that's a totally different case, *they* have a right to defend
themselves.
