[Soledad]

Hi everyone. I'm Soledad, an Argentinian Spanish and Social Studies Teacher living in the Caribbean. For a long time I have been interested in Islam and other different religions. I hope we can discuss various issues here.

Hi soledad

U r most welcome to our board, we are glad u found it. May Allah makes u r visit as fruitful as possible. Just go ahead and post any topics u need to study INsh aAllah will try to reply. U may also just surf the board Insh a Allah u will find good stuff.

Muslimah, let me ask you something since you're the administrator... do you allow people just directly say that to kill people in the name of Islam is 'acceptable' or that's what Allah wants? I'm surprised to read messages like this in this board, now I know we have free agency and freedom of speech but isn't this a way to promote violence and the misinterpretation of the Islam?.

[Muslimah]

can u get the thread, reading it will help me explain ok:)

Nonmuslims come on the board and say that Jesus is god. Should we edit that because we do not believe in that? The board has rules, if the rules are broken, boom edit. Do you watch television, go to the movies, or listen to music because they also encourage violence? I personally do not feel more violent after reading posts on this board. I think that if someone is a violent and angry person in general that someone will find any excuse to let the temper flare.

Peace

Dan, I understand your views.

Look at this thread for instance:

http://www.islamsms.com/bb//showthread...d=4641#post4641

In one of the last posts, one of the guys is calling 'stupid' to somebody else, is that allowed? I have to know, just in case, a range of anger come to me and I need to express myself more 'clearly' nah, I'm just kidding but really, is allow to insult members? I read the rules and it says it's not.

Bismillah

So are you asking me if it is okay to call other people names if someone calls you a name?

Peace

[Soledad]

Dan, I don't see no where in that thread that somebody called the guy first such an ugly name as 'stupid' that insults the intelligence of the person by the way.:confused:
